Ferreting today


Recommended Posts

One of the gardeners at work said to me you want to try to get to the Principals house theres rabbits on his lawn and hes pissed off LOL .So i saw him and after any chance of a word please ? are you doing your garden this year ? " yes " Would you like the rabbits controlled ? Would i like the F*cking rabbits controlled any time you want .

 

So today was that day after i drove up the drive he said help yourself we took a walk round his front garden the first rabbit bolted across the drive and we into the branches of a tree about three foot up the trunk i couldn't see it so we left it for later .

Then we went into the walled garden and after i shut all four gates we let the lurcher loose and she only marked under two sheds in a acre of garden i put a ferret in and we got a mark under the back right hand corner of the small shed i lifted the corner and the rabbit bolted and after a short course the lurcher had the first one in the bag .

Then we went into the field at his back door that ran down to the canal and there where a good few holes but the lurcher walked past them and marked six holes round a stump i popped a ferret in ten minutes later i took a spit out and got two rabbits for my trouble toast.gif. The next burrow was five holes and after ten more minutes a mark at a foot got me the fourth rabbit ,Then i did a bigger burrow spread out round two trees and a big doe rabbit bolted nearly straight away and i got a mark and just as i was taking the spit off a youngster bolted and the lurcher had him and at the same time the ferret grabbed a second one in the mouth of a hole .

The next burrow was holes in a pile of scrub and ivy and we didn't net it just dropped a ferret in and the lurcher grabbed two from there .

We went to see the gardener who was planting onions in the walled garden and showed him the tree we put the first rabbit of the day in and we put a ferret into the branches going round the trunk and he couldn't believe it the rabbit was doing laps round the tree from five foot to roughly ten foot it was running in between the branches and the amount of leaf mould built up in the branches of this old lime tree we nearly pulled it to bits and the amount of crap we piled up had to be seen to believed but some of the bigger branches had us beat and i left it for another day laugh.giflaugh.gif. What i great day i had for seven rabbits the gardeners got a great story for the rest of the gang on Monday and i don't think i will have to buy much veg this year laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif
