out this morning.

[jigsaw 11,902]

I went out with the young lad this morning,we had a ''different'' kind of day.I got a tiny little jill from a friend during the week,she is minute.I thought she was too small to do anything so I decided to try her out and see if she was worth keeping.My son and I went to a steep hill with lots of ground burrows,full of bunnys.I ran her in the 1st burrow and after a period of time 2 large rabbits hit the nets.The next set we had 1 large rabbit and 3 babies which we safetly put in seperate burrows to grow big and prosper,as Schwartsanager once said ''We'll be back'' Then In the next burrow we got 3 adults and 2 more babies,this little ferret was doing well.1 adult was a strange color,predominantly black with the common brown colors speckled here and there amongst its fur.Then in the next burrow I had to dig,I was more than surprised that a tiny little ferret could keep any rabbit in a stop end.Killing one didnt enter my head.Well I had a simple dig of 2 ft and I couldnt locate the ferret,groping around in the dirt what did I find?Her fecking collar,it was 35 minutes later that she reappeared with her head well skinned.I am well pleased with my new charge and we ended up with 9 big bunnys and 1 small dead one(ferret kill)We released 5 more little uns and my son had a great day,the black one really made his day,heres a pic of a few of the bag.

that black one is pretty unusual, i've only ever seen domestic ones coloured like that.

and what are you doing making the poor lad stand in the sun like that to have his pic taken? my mum used to do that to me - half the pics of me as a kid, i'm squinting like i've just been sprayed with CS

Aye shes kind a wee jigsaw,but ive seen alot smaller.ive two hutched at present that are proberly smaller and lighter in weight but are fed well,she does look quite young in the face mind,obvously bred at least last year im thinking and not this year Anyway bud if shes doing the buisness for ye thats what matters.

 

Strange markings on that rabbit,never seen anything like it ive killed blacks,pure whites and blues out on high groung all in the same day, but that takes some beating mate

[Guest Frank]

Thats a good little size alright jigsaw, the best of luck with her and thanks for putting up the pics.
