Best day so far...only 1 bunny.

[Guest vin]

Hello all.

 

I've been doing a lot of pest control jobs these last few months and apart form the odd trip out with the lamp I havnt had chance to just have a little mooch. . .The cover is still well up everywhere and Ive tried a few of my local spots where its still way to overgrown.

 

My young lad wanted to have a walk on his last day before going back to skoool tommorow..So after dinner we got the dogs and his little micro jill and another jill in a box and with a few nets, a bag of butties, we set of for a mooch with a view to seeing if the little micro fert was gonna be able to bolt anything..lol.(its tiny)

 

The hedgerows are active with burrows etc etc but impossible to seee where all the holes are..so we went into a wood where theres a few old warrens that have the odd visitors from time to time. The dogs marked up a couple of holes on a banking that was almost bare of cover and realtively easy to net up with about 8 holes..just a few brambles and twigs but most of the undergrowth was bare...luxury ferreting for this time of year..lol.

 

So we netted up the holes and dropped the little micro jill in.. I've had her out a few times so far and she seems to find em and get em moving if they are willing to move...I know she,ll struggle with a big buck dales bunny if he dont wanna move but for something so small it seems to make up for it in tenacity..Time will tell,There was no more in there,I ran the other Jill through aswell just to make sure.

 

Anyway as you can tell on the video my young lad is still learning about being quiet..he was buzzing after seeing his little squirter bolt that big old bunny... and the older grey beddy is only a spectator,she,s his pet...but she does a good impersination of a lurcher,unfortunately she could'nt catch one in a tent...lol. . . thats the truth.

 

But it was just fantastic to be out with my lad and the dogs.

I was trying that one of kens out the other day and today..she,s a nice gentle natured little fert.

 

The 2 young ones I've kept are beasts Ray... there like tasmanian devils going through a warren...lol.. I've already had them in some tricky spots and they are doing great so far..by the time they get onto them big easy warrens on the hills they'll be spot on...there big buggers for jills and very strong..they look like hobs..lol.

 

Looking forward to coming down soon matey...ive got young kieran a lovely pair of jills to get him started off with. . . You and Brynns gonna be busy this winter mate.

Will do mate, he got pulled the other night and the cops were asking him questions and comparing the answers to what was on a A4 laminated sheet

Just the laws on the hunting ban mate, still they were decent with him and weren't bothered about him getting rabbits on permission

[TOMO 29,101]

[patterdalejoel 669]

genuine question, do you honestly see a difference betwee a dales rabbit and any other, or was it said in jest?
