charlie nelly1 142 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Today we decided to go for a bit of ferreting seen as it was half term and we were both bored, me and Patterdalejoel, without that messer DeepEarth and his awesome shovel we did some sets in a feild and lost 2 due to 1 bolting straght after another and obviously having no net to hold it, and me probably grabbing a net and not the rabbit, ill take the blame for that one we also had a dig, when we broke through i only had hold of the ear with 2 fingers and it jolted back down what was probably a stopend. we then started to dig again a new hole along the stop end when joels little jill was still down and she started digging at the rabbit. as i was hard digging the jill managed to draw the rabbit out and it saw joel and tried to bolt down the other end of the hole but joels cat like reflexes grabbed it, very impressed with this jill, so would whin as it was a big strong hill rabbit and a small female ferret, not a big dog ferret we then wandered up and lost a rabbit in a warren as the ferret wernt cooperating and sticking with the rabbit, oh well. we then trekked up the hill to the top of the vallley, and bolted a couple of rabbits after my lab flushed them out and marked the warrens, would of got more rabbits but they were just sitting on top and not going down again big strong hill rabbits and not a dog ferret in sight whin we then went home, the rabbits destined for joels pup as food then went to the auction to sell some of deepearth's cockerels to the ethnics as DIY halal (haha joe was not happy about that) thanks for reading here are some pictures, 1st rabbit in the net- i must add it was in one of andykelly's poke nets-highly recomended) only dig of the day on the first warren 2nd warren which joel did whilst i was de netting the 1st the result of the 1st two warrens dont know if you can see the 5 rabbits but its on a field i am working to get permission on, they where only 20 yards away and completly obliviouse the treck from the bottom of the valey to the top, it took some doing netting the 3rd warren which held a disapointing zero the last photo-my 11 month old pup nelly thanks for reading and looking at the photos Quote Link to post

patterdalejoel 669 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 how is that young pup coming on joel? yep shes doing well, she was chasing bolting rabbits but id rather her not as iv heard it can cause her to yap while chasing, she can get bored and isnt focused on what is going on yet, but obviously that is to be expected due to her age and only going out a few times Quote Link to post
