she's still fat from the summer mate and her rest with the torn gracillis muscle. . . But so far so good. 

Yes, its Venus mate..9 years old now. 

 

I was back out today and after netting up 2 warrens and using over 30 nets I'd had enough of the bloody things.

So I let the dogs do their thing and caught more than I had previously on the next 2 warrens without nets. . . even though I was in a thick woodland area. Less noise and more bolts.By the time you've snapped a load of twigs and thumped about putting the nets down the bunnies don't want to bolt. My method..sneak up, drop a hob in and let the dogs do the rest. 

 

Wow 9 years old all ready. It only seems like last winter I was having my first night out with Her and Tomo. Time goes like feck mate.

No need for nets with those dogs Vin. My old bitch was decent enough at doing a similar job. 

It's good to have some new ferret blood down here and I'm sure they will get plenty of opportunities this season.
