andy s410c 63 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Well after 2 weeks of gales & rain the weather today was glorious.Arrived at the top quarry for 8:30am,sunshine,light frost & breeze.On the way across i bumped into the landowner had a chat,even he was sick of the rain however the land had dried out nicely since last Thursday when i was up with the rimfire . The workers today were Jasper & small jill Ruby who'd had a bit of a kicking the last time she was out so i was eager to see how she would be today . On the approach to the quarry bottom 2 rabbits dropped into 2 sets,a 2 holer & a 15 plus holer .Netted up the 2 holer & ran the quickset around the other with a few purse nets dotted around. Collared up & put the jill into the 2 holer,thump,thump 1 in the net,the jill pelting out behind it .On the 15 holer,both ferts in,managed to shift bugs after a lot of thumping below my feet. Moved onto the North wall to do the fallen tree set,ran the quickset along the bank,a few purse nets & put the hob in,he shifted 3 from here & i could see he'd enjoyed in there . Moved further along the bank,same set up.Put the jill into a 2 hole tree set,she shifted another but it rolled the net .The bank set did'nt have anyone at home very unusual....Had a bite to eat & quicksetted the last set of the day,both ferts in,bolted 1 then it went quiet Magic box was showing 4-5ft with me doing a "bit" of digging this season i got the blade moving ,managed to get to about 3.5ft before i hit a limestone slab so no more blading .Both ferts showed after 10 mins with the hob blooded up. Ended the day with 6 fat winter rabbits & was happy that the jill was back to her normal self Quote Link to post

andy s410c 63 Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Wahey! Was going to text you and see if you had been out! Jasper getting stuck in? Swap for a pig russell? Got to make the most of my "man of leisure" time B,got a full time job starting in the New Year .Jasper worked hard today but the jill was my main concern,she bottled it the other week & i was happy to see her back to normal graft mode . I would take my mate Rock off you in the blink of a eye but i don't think our cat would last long & he ain't as bad as you make him out Quote Link to post
