Few hours out with the ferrets ...

[fresh earth 47]

Had a couple of hours out this morning with my black bitch not been able to get her out this week due to mucking about with work and pups so set of at 7am to a bit permision iv had for years with two young lads. Done a big banking but was murder rabbits bolting from hole to hole and there must be 100+ holes on this field along a hill side so we called it quits at 1 rabbit and moved over to a small wood where we done two sets wee had my old jill and a few youngsters with us today young ones were prity poor not doing much and refusing to go deep but my jill located 2 in a small 6 hole set took her 20 minutes to put 1 up and it turned and jammed up the hole luckily i seen it and got in for it not long after out poped abother one screeming like mad. The young lad had put down one of the young hobs 30 yards down the field in a 3 hole set and he had killed not to far down so after a 10 minute dig we had our fourth. Done a few small sets with nothing home then come to another large hillside swarming with holes my jill was tired now as she had been working for 4 hours and bolted most of our rabbits so wee called it a day then on the way back wee seen a rabbit go to ground in an old dyke so wee chucked the old jill down and bolted it to make a total of 5 in the bag the wee bitch run well as usual only missing the ones on the banking that would have been impossible to get bolting 5 and 6 yards or so at a time . Forgot the camera so here is a quick one from when we got home .
