As you say its not all about breaking records mate. Some of the best days I've had have been low numbers but the company and surroundings make all the difference

deffo bry [BANNED TEXT] numbers mean nothing to me now ,its all about enjoying the day (old basturd lol )

Long time since I last saw a stoat kill a rabbit out in the open, but it's a fantastic thing to witness. Sounds like you had a top day.

In 50 odd years I have never seen a stoat take a rabbit, I have heard it and followed the cries to find a dead rabbit. It is something I would love to witness, nature at it's finest. I think to see that first hand eclipses the number of rabbits caught and would really make a day very special.

it was a nice stead day with no preasure to catch all we could and for me it made it all the more enjoyable.

 

bt forgot to mention 1 bunny jumped in to the river from the warren in the river bank and sat with its face in to the bank to evade capture his ferret looked at it and dived in after it

 

very funny thing to see.
