andy s410c 63 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Arrived at the bottom quarry for 9,ish bright,slight breeze,frosty & a freezing fog heading my way from the valley.Workers today were Potch & Jet arrived at the first set & i seen the local molecatcher out with his terrier in tow,asked if he fancied a bit of ferreting,no problems after he'd set his traps .I worked the set but no-one at home however i knew the terrier would get us up & running. Traps set & off we mooched into the quarry with the dog doing the marking we accounted for 3 out of 3 small sets..oh the easy life .I decided to take a pic of the dog however my camera had fell out of it's pouch so we retraced our steps & i eventually found the camera down a rabbit hole where i had dived into the stop net to get a rabbit,nice one,photo took. It was approaching midday so moley had to be off to check more traps further up the valley so back to my jack jones however before they left the dog chased a rabbit into a set so i had something to go at anyway.Netted a 5 holer,jill in & 2 rabbits out,either end of the set but i managed to get things under control after sliding on my arse down the bank . Did a couple of more sets but no-one at home & the freezing fog had settled in the quarry bottom so i called it a day just after 2pm... Quote Link to post
