first day ferreting

[woodchip 2]

well im off tomorrow on my first days ferreting spent months getting my new gear sorted.

a brand new mk1 ferred finder was told mk3 was no good have 20 nets box is all made and im ready to go just hope i can remember what my grandad used to do 22yrs ago as no one seems to ferret any where near me so looks like im teaching myself .

Well charlie my polecat hob is eager to get those rabbits .

ive been training him pulling rabbits ive shot down waste pipe getting him to chase them he seems to be doing realy well.

i just would have liked to have spent time with someone with a lot more experiance (hey anys more than me) just hope i dont let charlie down.

good luck mate i'm sure you'll do ok,your little polecat will show you way.

You'll never forget your first trip mate,the first time you realise your ferret is working with you and for you.

The first time he disappears down the hole shaking his fur with excitement.

The first time he emerges and looks for you to see what you want to do next.

As for his first bolted bunny.....there's nothing to compare with cooking it,eating it and letting him have his share...absolute magic!

Enjoy your day out and come back for any advice if you need it.

Cheers.Mooster.

[Guest houndblair]

I can just see my mate or me for this matter falling of the edge into the quarry Dont know what the quarry will say tho coz im aware lots of my mates from that village f**k around in there (not me of course) and they are quite scrrict...but where rabbit controll comes in they can be alot more understanding, Another place im getting permission for is a golf course which should be good!
