A Quick two sets

[ianrob 2]

I was workin 'till lunchtime today, so decided to have a quick couple of sets. The first is an awkward one, as it has a five foot high rotten wooden fence round it held up by wire netting. It also has trees planted in it. We, " My oldest lad and me, he's 29 and 6 foot 3" netted it up and put two ferrets in. Tthe ferrets were gone awhile, when a rabbit bolted, and my son grabbed it and chinned it. We have worked together loads of times and he does most of the killing, "he's quicker than me". 10 minutes or so passed and we got the ferrets back, and as we were lifting the nets, the rabbit he'd chinned got up and ran away. We went on to another small set and got three. Has anyone else ever had a "dead rabbit " recover and escape, as it's a first for me.

Seen it happen a few weeks back to a mate who ain't a small chap,we were ferreting with long nets and a rabbit hit the net was chinned by my mate taken out of the net after about 30 seconds it got up and hopped back down the hole.The burry was a large one one around a large hawthorn tree so we didn't put the ferret down again as digging would have been hard work.He even said he felt the neck go when he chinned it.

Aye the lad said he felt it's neck gan. I tend to neck them more than chin them when they're in purse nets anyway. I usually chin them in the long net, as the head's usually right through, and you can feel more whats happening.
