Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Had a cracking days ferreting today with some cracking lads. Ken (Socks) invited me up for a day on a job he was doing not too far away, north wales. I haven't got any experienced ferrets at the moment due to a spot of bad luck last season and earlier this season. So we went up armed with my 2 young Hobs and my mates young Jill (Tommy27). When we got there we were greeted by 2 other lads off the forum, Treehands and Off-the-radar. Both top lads and we had a good crack and some good sport. We never got a final count today as the truck was already loaded with 51 from what the lads got yesterday and we just kept adding to it. But we weren't there to count bunnys. We started the day off with Kens experienced ferrets, bolting from awkward places, under big storage containers and big sets. Bolting to Kens and Treehands dogs. Both dogs knew the job well and put plenty of bunnys to bed between them. Then as the day progressed we introduced the youngsters and they did really well bolting plenty to both the dogs and nets and were successfully dug to one of my big Hobs a few times. Thanks again to Socks, Treehands and off-the-radar. Top day all round ?? Few pics from the day... And a couple ready for the pot... In the slow cooker on a bed of veg, fresh parsley, chicken stock, pint of cider, fried onions, bacon and garlic... 12 Quote Link to post

offtheradar 175 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Not much more to add to what the lads have said above, other than a big thank you to socks and for the opportunity to join in on this job and for meeting a few cracking lads off this forum. It's been a steep learning curve for me, and I hope I haven't held up proceedings too much. 3 Quote Link to post
