First frosty ferretting day of the season for us

[Guest cookiemonsterandmerlin]

Well after the most amazing couple of weeks ferretting in t shirts the last couple of days have been a shock to the system.

Set off from homefirst time I have had defrost the van lovely picture postcard images when dawn broke.

We have be clearly ever hedge in a system for our client and this was a mop up job in a hard to reach blackthorn infest hedge not prime ferretting ground at all but still with good numbers it heals the pain of all the headache of working the ground.

 

While netting up first a charlie trots along the hedge without a care in the world no fox shooting takes place on this 30000 acre estate so its full of them and there are near tame.

 

Then two roe pop out sniff the sent and shoot off .

 

We are netted up by then plonk a great big old hob in and bang a quick first coney.

We worked the hedge up to the point I finnished on friday accounted for unlucky for the coneys 13.

 

So we moved over the road to the next area to clear again we tackled the first and worst area infested with thorn.

 

Longnets and our last dog as we have losed three to only age and cancer in a month.

Working in tandem up the ditchline pushing the coneys into the net or the open for the dog.

 

 

And we finnished with a respectable 43
