martnmagik 68 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 well its been a while since i posted in this section but thought id share my pups first trip out with the ferrets. it was a very cold -15 last weekend and was called by my mate for a day out, so the ferrets were rudely awoken at 4.30 am and the nets were loaded into the bag. being the nosey keen little bitch she is my 3 and a half month old pup was out in the run to see what was going on. so i let her out for a little fuss and instead of running around like a looney she just sat next to the ferret box and refused to move, so after a quick brew i decided " hmm why not" a look wont hurt im sure so she too was put in the car with the ferrets and gear. we arrived at the first set and i let her have a sniffle about and she didnt do what i expected her to do with being so young! she showed a little interest then came back to me and gave me a look as if to say "now what". so i tied her to the spade while we netted up and sat as good as gold paying lots of attention and was very alert. anyway first bolt and she was straining at the lead to see what was going on. i dspatche dthe rabbit and took it over to show her and she started to look around for others lol. anyway after a few more times of being held back while we was at work i decided to do a few small sets away from the others so i didnt piss them off while showing the pup the ropes. she was very alert to what the ferrets were doing and kept pushing them back to ground if one showed, and was very steady around the nets. so all in all a good day was had with total bag of 27 but i couldnt be more pleased with my little bitch, i just hope she keeps up the good work. there should be a pic too if i can manage to put it up lol Quote Link to post

Be just about the right age when you next start ferreting after the summer ?. she sure will. although one of the places i do i have to do all year round. there isnt alot of rabbit there but enough to give her 2 or 3 days during the summer to keep her interested and fine tune one or two little niggles like taking nets out of the bag once ive just put them back in lol but yeah cant wait for the new season Quote Link to post
