wilbs 249 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Had a nice few hours ferreting again with the kids. My little lad learnt a very important lesson don't put your hand near the ferret when it's grabbing a bunny or you will get your finger bitten!! One of the regulars on here is going to come out with me to help me get the numbers down but unfortunately he had to work. I'm taking him out for a day or two of rabbiting and in return he is going to teach me a few more things about kayaking am looking forward to it, hopefully he will be able to come next time I go. Had quite a few bunnies with young uns they seem to breed all year round now. The best part was I let my daughter do a set all on her own out in the open, she got 15 and I tried to film it on my phone but it's a nightmare keeping phone still and i gave her a hand making sure bunnies were despatched properly and it's hard to film, think it would be easier with a third person. Can anyone tell me if you can upload a 7 min video on a post on here or would it be too large a file as am well proud of her she really got stuck in Wilbs 9 1 Quote Link to post
Arry 18,498 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Well done to you and the kids. Nice to see somebody getting the numbers. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post
wilbs 249 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Cheers for the replies lads am a bit crap with posting videos etc. Don't really take pics when I'm out unless I take the kids. The video is a bit all over the shop I nearly smashed my phone as kept cutting off and going back to start. Managed to get some nice footage of her and it was good to watch. There is one chap on here who does some brilliant filming I may have to contact him about sorting a day out as i would like a proper video of them with plenty of action. My daughter has a newish iPhone what a load of rubbish that is you can't even pause your video. If anyone has any tips they would be very much appreciated. Quote Link to post
The one 8,393 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Just stick with your daughter mate if she got 15 on her own thats great going 1 Quote Link to post
wilbs 249 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Cheers pal I let her do a set on her own putting all the nets on, running long net out and diving on the bunnies. I gave her a hand when a couple bolted at once etc. She's a right strong bugger I've had her out with me from a young age carrying bags of rabbits, long nets etc. One of her old PE teachers said she was a natural athlete I grinned and thought if you knew what it was that was keeping her fit! You can't beat being down the fields in the fresh air 2 Quote Link to post

Trev70 5,185 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Good day that mate well done you and the kids, just like what's been said you have to put the vid on youtube then copy and paste the link onto here, if your wanting to do a few vids i'd get a camcorder mate, atb.

wilbs 249 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Cheers for that Trev70. It's hard trying to film when there's kids, dogs, ferrets, rabbits etc about but it's nice to have something that you can watch and look back on when the kids are older. That's what I like about yours just simple, dog and camera. Will get my Mrs to look into the YouTube and camcorder thing. Never used to bother with pics and videos as am out quite a lot with dogs etc so it's just an another night but when you have kids you can look back at it and the memories. 3 Quote Link to post
big napper 3,559 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Great stuff mate Quote Link to post
flynndog 543 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Good do that can't wait for my lad to get out nagging to go if it's not air guns dogs hunting or fishing hes not interested 1 Quote Link to post
wilbs 249 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Cheers big napper - have shown my kids the comments as some kids get brainwashed by school and the media my kids get the truth and am sure there are probably antis/snowflakes reading this. I do rabbiting/pest control and you might laugh at this a couple of people I know who have land/small holdings and like to see rabbits running around and they pop the odd one off for the pot but they haven't seen a bunny in a couple of years and i have helped them to organise repopulating these areas, it is nice to see and i have had a lot of permission from it. You learn to respect the countryside and it's wildlife. Kids from farming families are some of the fittest and healthiest kids about Quote Link to post
Guest vin Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 That’s what I call a proper day out mate. Best way to film on the IPhone is to do little short clips of about 1 - 2 minutes. Get a YouTube channel and add the vids to the channel. Then Post links on here. Quote Link to post
TOMO 24,836 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 what a cracking day out ... Quote Link to post
wilbs 249 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Cheers for the replies vin and TOMO. Was supposed to be taking kids out again today for a days ferreting but too breezy and sometimes bunnies seem a bit more reluctant to bolt when it's really windy. Nipped to see Moocher71 off here and picked up one of the ferrets he needed rehoming to one of my mates who is a decent family man and will give it a good home. We had a good chat and i gave him a big bag of bunnies for his dogs/ferrets as a thank you. 1 Quote Link to post
