Lucky fella

Recommended Posts

I saved this fella about 3 weeks ago , he had his leg in one of the keepers fen traps so his leg was a mess, he’s lost 2 toes but he’s healing well, with the amount of ticks and fleas on him he’s been living wild for a while, soon be time for him to pay me back with some rabbits before the end of the season ?

Surprising how nature heals it’s self , was he bad to handle? 

It is mate, he is very good to handle at first I thought it was because he was in shock but even now he still lets me put cream on him and I gave him a bath with tea tree oil with no fuss.

I have caught a few over the years in Fen traps it NEVER kills them but if I catch then in a  IMBRA or A JUBY trap they are dead the same with Rabbits as it is very rare you get a straight Shoulder hit that kills in the proscribed time , so what do our Masters do !!!!!!! they ban the IMBRA and JUBY  and leave us with a light weight badly designed lump of metal called the Fenn a glorified Rat trap and not a very good one at that 

Bottom  Ferret caught in a Fenn some years ago it took me and my Mrs some time to get her out but she was Finger tame in a day and working in Two , a mean killer who punched well above her weight .

Second picture is a big Gelded hob in a Juby died with his boots on , never even moved the trap

Dan  Cain  ! me and Katchum  left a  Ferret a few weeks back and despite introducing  fresh collard Ferrets and digging for five hours, leaving dead Rabbits in holes to monitor  movement , leaving baited cage traps  and repeated  day and night visits the Ferret was not found , every thing possible was done to find this animal but sometimes  Shit happens .
