Thats All Folks.............

I ventured over to meet Chrismdd again yesterday to have a final go at the rabbits.Chris has usually finished by now but with the young ones not showing much we decided to have another day.First port of call was a nice long hedgerow and a couple of warrens that could be surrounded by the long nets, this produced a total of ...........1, with one other slipping through Chris's legs.The only other highlight was watching the ferrets chase a couple of young ones above ground.

 

We moved on to a couple of other fields that were to be done with the purse nets, we made our way around the headland netting and again bolted a rabbit before the ferret was dropped in.Things were looking up here and we soon had 5 more in the bag.We carried on for a couple more hours but could only manage another 2 making a total of 8 with 2 escaping our grasp.

 

The story of the day was fresh newly dug burrows produced nothing while the old hidden ones came up trumps.Good weather and a good craic with Chris was again had.

 

Until next time.....................

Cheers for the day and the write-up Rik.

 

Looking forward to next season and we'll try out those new permissions.

 

When the river season starts in June we'll have a go at catching those roach and chub and net a few of those crayfish for tea.
