Ferreting tomorrow

[gibby 0]

I have went and agreed to ferret for someone whos in need of a bit of pest control tomorrow!

 

Hes going to shoot his shotgun over my ferret since there would be too much cover for netting. Hope everything goes well Im not looking forward to digging to little uns all day!

 

Only ferret I can take is my big hob since my jills just weaned a litter recently so shes out the question, and I dont think the 8 week old kits will be much good lol!!!

 

Anyway has anyone got any advice about summer ferreting? Only good thing is I get to keep the rabbits and Im in need of fert grub! Luckily its not my usual permission or I would be taking out next seasons sport.

 

Cheers,

There doing grand mate! That hob will have a good job next year servicing the kits I bred to save line breeding.

 

Shame todays ferreting wasnt any good! Bolted a few (4) rabbits, but the standard of shooting was awful...

 

Luckily though i never had to dig to any baby bunnies I thought it would be a nightmare. Anyway so much for having a rabbit problem half the warrens were empty! Packed up about 12oclock because it was getting too hot (in between the showers!) and didnt want the ferret getting too hot.

 

Cheers,
