GALE FORCE & COLD RAIN.

[Guest Frank]

Must be mad, but i loved it, every miniute of today.

 

My mate called for me around 8:20 this morning. Weather seemed fine and the sun was dawning.

We got to our place and walked a while, to gather the surroundings and plan what warrens we were going to do. Set nets on a nice 11 holer, poped my polecat jill in and waited, bang first bunny hits the net and rolls out and pegs it away Feck!, i thought. Second bunny, the same thing , supersonic bunnys?, No, my mates fecking net laying i found

After giving him a bolocking , i reset them and re enterd the jill. Another hit the nets, this time i had it.

No more bolted, so we moved onto a 32 holer

Well, a big black mass moved over us and what followed was, all i could discribe it was, a cloud burst and with the ferts just enterd in and no shelter around. then to top it off, a bunny, flew out of an un netted hole ans acroos the feild. Roll on my young whippet pup.

 

We got soaked by the time the sun came out again. Did another 9 holer and got just 1 out of that, when the clouds droped again.

 

In the third warren, we dug 2 foot, to where the jill had one killed, third in the bag.

 

The last warren we had another dig, 2 1/2 feet, got the ferret, but the bunny moved on .

 

By this time, the rain was coming non stop, so we packed up and made do with 3 hard got bunnys. :11:

 

Plenty about on this farm, so we will be back on a better day.

Cheers beagles, it was not easy, but fun all the same, as the farmer was easy going, so pest control was off the cards today, cant win them all.
