AN HOUR THIS AFTERNOON.

[Guest Frank]

How do all.

Was ment to go ferreting this morning, but after waking up to slashing rain on my window , i turned back round in bed and dreamt of unlimted bolting rabbits in massive open feilds. :11:

 

Anyhow, i got a great ferreting DVD in the post today and watched that for a while, then the weather cleard for a bit, so feck it i thought, ill chance it and go, it was 12pm by then , cutting it a bit fine, but thought id better stick to small burys.

 

Took my polecat hob, put collar on and set of with nets and spade, 1/2 hour later, was walking towards the first set, with rain smacking on my face :11:

 

Put hob in, could not heare feck all with the wind, waited 20 odd mins, no bolt, locator on, he was 9 ft down

 

Waited, locator back on, he moved and was out, thank god. He had killed the bunnys and moved on.

 

The rain was bad by now, so took shelter under a buch, over looking a valley and enjoyed watching everything, for a few mins, its not all about numbers and time.

 

Rain stoped, i set up some nets on another bury, waited and waited. On with the MK 3 and got a reading at 2ft. Started digging and eventually broke threw, right on top of the ferret and bunny , the MK 3 is prooving to be a great usefull bit of kit.

 

Enterd him one more time, as it was getting late and out poped a bunny from a missed hole and ran across and down the hill out of site into a hedge. I could just imagine a good whippet behind it. :11:

 

Pics below of my day, only one bunny, but i dont care, as i had a great afternoon out walking about.

 

The pic of my hob down the hole was not the best, he does not want to be reconised :11:

 

Dont post yet, till i have the rest of the pics uploaded
