21dangermouse 86 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Was out on monday ferreting for the first time this season. Just a quick trip out to my mates dads horse paddocks, to shift a few rabbits out. I just fetched a few nets, stop nets and locaters. No need to fetch my stinkers as would be using his ferrets, so the team was polly the polecat, stumpy the 3 legged ferret and billy the young hob. To complete the team we had rags a rescue lurcher belong to my mates mate, who wanted it to be out while he was at work. First warren nothing, second warren rags gave a mark so stop nets and purse nets went out and ferrets went in. First bolt and we all miss it including rags shot out of a bolt hole we had missed. The we heard abit off underground thunder and waited for the bolt but noting. So out comes disco carrot located were the lay up was so out comes the spade. Now me being a clever dick think lets take a mirco spade as it would easy to carry. Turns out not that easy to dig with. After finally starting to make a decent effort the ferrets started to show albeit stumpy minus her collar. So we carried on digging down to the collar after about four foot we broke through and found the locater. Just as the collar reached the surface this big buck come shooting out behind it, feck me made me jump. So this buck comes flying out and hits the ground ruining and i'am fecking scrambling after it, my mates making a dash for it. Then rags shoots after it and gets on its arse forcing it in to the stop net. Now this rabbit would have made it if he had ran 3 inches to left as he was only just caught in the stop net. now that was a fun few seconds. Just did one more set and got another one out of it. So one each for me and my mate. Not the biggest bag, but a good start to the season. Will soon be out with my pup bring her on ...... Atb dangermouse Quote Link to post
