big napper 3,656 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 went out this morning again with a few mates, never ferreted this perm before just shot with air rifle, the pup marked straight away, netted up and dropped in the ferrets and after 10 mins we had 3 good size rabbits, all the sets are massive and in realy awkward places with thorn bushes and brambles, there is hundreds of meters of it, we only did 3 sets that the pup marked and finished with 7 good rabbits, we must have missed the same amount that bolted from holes we didnt find, (wont miss them next time thou), again the pup marked great and done a good bit of work in the cover today, the ferrets worked well and got what they like 7 Quote Link to post

big napper 3,656 Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 cheers pal, the last few times we went out the first set he marked didnt have rabbits in but all the others he marked did so i think that it was over excitement but today he was bang on from the start so hes defo getting better and like i said he did better in the cover today aswell 1 Quote Link to post
neil b 2,504 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 It's just a matter of reading him now and learning to trust him, some of the spots we do have all the evidence of being used you would put your mortgage on it holding only for the lurcher to walk past without giving it a look, earlie on in her career I'd put a ferret in just to be sure, not once has she been wrong I just let her take me were ever she marks now pic from yesterday 3 Quote Link to post
big napper 3,656 Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 il be doing the same soon i think, if he doesnt mark i wont be ferreting it, unless i see one go in, (then that would be a sickner) but hopefully that wont happen if he carries on like hes doing Quote Link to post
