A Surprise Bolt

[Jamie93 57]

I went out ferreting Sunday and cam across a small 5 hole set.

 

The holes barely looked big enough for rabbits and were covered in rabbit sh!t.

 

Hob in 5 minutes of no rumbling but no show meant he was on something.

 

Sure enough a full grown fox bolted in the net.

 

Anyone else had this?

Once dug a fox in a small two hole earth that we spooked down when out ferreting. Did you slap it one or did it run off with your net?

I've also seen a big fat ginger tabby cat bolted into a long net. Was ferreting hedgerows with a few lads off here and the dogs were marking the hedge because it kept moving down the hedge, then it ran out straight into the long net. Tangle up a treat!

yeah bolted a decent sized one in august no nets ,but proved the new lurcher wouldn't make a fox dog

I was so shocked I froze mid run.

 

I wish I had gave it a whack now as that brush would be hangin on my wall now.

 

But he kicked the net off his head after a bit off a struggle.

Ferret dint show out a three holer dug down and a vixen with two cubs had killed her but, bolted a couple on other days they usually fly out

Bolted a fox once whilst out ferreting also bolted a cat trying to get that f****r out the net was hard work.

If you can lift a net and let the fecker bolt, it is often best, ..coz,. if he turns back into the bury, it can get emotional

 

 

 

That's exactly what happened to myself and hedgesteeper, I headed off charlie before he hit a longnet and he turned brush and when back to ground, we had had best part of a dozen rabbits out of a big old place we were working, so we gave him best and lifted the stinkers and moved on
