shootinmagpie 1 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 We decided to take the ferrets out yesterday.We got to the farm at about 2pm and headed off.We started off by doing some burrows along a lane.We put the ferrets down and while we where waiting I saw a rabbit about 50 yards up the lane and I slipped Willow.She pumped all the way and hit the rabbit in cover but no joy.So recalled her and got back to the lads when a rabbit bolted and she was off again and this time got her rabbit.The ferrets where still down and the buck killed at the opening of the burrow and we had our second rabbit. Things didnt really go to plan for a while after that, with the rabbits not bolting cleanly.We moved up to higher ground and we where having a break with Willow sitting in a tree.We needed a break after walking up these hills but Willow went up on the soar then closed her wings and dropped [bANNED TEXT] back down to the very bottom of this land and put a rabbit flying into the air and nailed it at the second go and she had her second rabbit of the day.As I got to her Rosie was over head and she crashed into cover after a rabbit that had ran in but no joy.After a long walk back up we put the ferrets down the next burrow but again the rabbits wouldnt bolt clear of cover so we said we would call it a day.On our way back to the jeep we saw a rabbit so my brother slipped Rosie and she nailed this one.So she had her rabbit and was fed up.I walked on and saw a rabbit out in the field and slipped Willow,she hit this rabbit some thump and had her third rabbit of the day and was fed up.We ended the day with 5 rabbits,4 for the birds and 1 for the ferrets. A few pics Rosie on her kill and the lads Willow on her third rabbit of the day Quote Link to post
shootinmagpie 1 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have recently started to lamp Willow with some good results.I have only had her out 3 times and has caught on the last 2 outings.The first night she didnt really know what was going on but picked it up very quickly.Its something different and you get some good flights on the lamp. A few pics. Quote Link to post
