JordKil 0 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Well Im literally just back in from the pissing rain with the longnet, dog and ferrets. Only managed 2 hours out with it on the one warren but it was absolutely brill!!!! Its so much easier than purse nets (especially this particular warren) the area I ferreted looks out on to a cultivated field with young shoots growing in it. The area is not big but impossible to purse net there are fallen trees, bushes and plenty long grass should die back soon though. Its never usually packed with rabbits (loads and loads of holes though) but there is always a few that I try and get with the catty and dog after they bolt into the field. This time I had the net in front so no hard running for dog and no catty. Just had the one ferret today but could of done with at least two. Still she worked like a pro and was bolting them from left right and centre. I sat and waited after she entered and saw 4 (3 adult one wee un) creeping out of the same hole as carefully as possible it was so comic like a cartoon. Then Harry comes crashing through the trees and bushes and pushes one into the net One in the bag which was killed by harry (when he pinned he broke its neck) He's never worked a net before and I think he did very well (didnt run straight into it like I expected! lol) Well we ended the day with that one and I have no idea where the other three went just seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. We carried on for another hour afterwards trying every hole and there was no sign. Oh well I'll just get them tomorrow!!! Unfortunately no pics as it was pissin down and I was by myself and cant o everything at once lol. Cheers Jordan Quote Link to post

ferreterni 29 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Fat Ferret is a good bloke to deal with, and knows his longnets, a genuine hunter on this site. Quote Link to post
JordKil 0 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Well done Jordan, Im glad your getting on well with it Aye its a good net weighs a bloody tonne though!! Hell of a pain carting it about over barbed wire, gates and also carrying a shovel, ferret box and being pullled along by the dog! Worth it in the end though Cheers mate Jordan Quote Link to post

JordKil 0 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Nice one mate, sounds as if you had a good day, (apart from the pissin rain). The rain was fun too just the undergrowth was a pain and poor lil Sandy struggled with the whole warren herself should of taken another ferret or two along. Its hilarious watching a wee ferret bouncing around in the long grass after a rabbit Probably get at it tomorrow if its not too windy. Maybe get hold of the farmer for some permission if I can find the boy! Quote Link to post
