Out today with the Ferrets

[NewBarnFerrets 3]

I haven't been out ferreting for a month due to work, weather & the flu!......so it was good to finally get back out today.

I took three of my jill's & went to one of my permissions in the Isle of Purbeck.

Cold but sunny.......& the odd flurry of snow.

 

Today I used a mixture of long nets & purse nets due to the position of the warrens

I circled the long net around a small group of bushes & placed two ferrets down.

1st bunny of the day didn't bolt & was caught by Sybil (my lad named them!), luckily my dad was near the entrance to the hole & managed to grab the bunny.......he pulled it out along with a ferret latched to the rabbits ear!

2nd rabbit bolted & that seemed to be it from there, so moved on.

 

Moved to a small bury & got two more to bolt.

Then moved to a bury in the open field.

Bolted two from here straight away.

 

Enjoyable day.

 

I may pop back down tomorrow with the 12g or .22 rimmy.
