neil b 2,266 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Today was to be our first real day out on our new permission, we met up with the keeper, who took us to the first place he wanted us to concentrate on, open fields and plenty of warrens littered here and there, all pulled out and looking promising, Nell marked the first warren we came across so I left my mate to it while I made my way out into the unknown, it wasn’t long before I had a positive mark, so with 100yard of longnets out I entered 5 ferrets into the sprawling warren it was a good 20 mins before the rabbits started to cooperate, with 6 in the bag and a ferret missing it was out with the bleeper, at just over a foot down I broke through to recover a very dead rabbit and the said ferret, as I was picking my net up Nell was marking a small warren just above me. I always carry a few purse nets for just this occasion a quick 4 more to the tally, we just carried on in much the same manner picking up 2s&3s. The final warren of the day produced 7, taking our total for today to 29, with the constant wind and rain it wasn’t a bad result the time was 1pm so back to the truck for a buttie and some soup so from me Neil b until next time cheers 13 Quote Link to post
