richie 1 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 we went out this morning to do a few hedge rows ive been wanting to do for a while. the first hedge was about 100yrds with a few sets evenly spread. we threw a longnet around & pursed up a few that were easily accessable & placed 3 ferrets in. within the hour we managed to get 3, 2 in the purse net & 1 in the long net. one had the after effects of mixi so probably explained why we never pulled no more from there as mixi was rife there 4 months back. the three... we moved onto another set that we were sure held a few as the holes looked used.. put the ferrets in & they showed no sign of interest as they re-surfaced after a short while, we re-entered them but no joy. we drove to the next joining field & netted up 3 seperate sets on a hedge row about 150yrds long. on the first set we netted up 20 or so holes, the 2nd set had 5 holes & the 3rd set had 4 holes. the 20 holer we placed 3 ferrets down, my hob & jill & jims hob. we only produced 1 from that set. as we approached the 2nd set of 5 holes we noticed we had already caught one that tried to go to ground, result !. once again we placed 3 ferrets down, we took another 3 within half an hour, also the the big hob surfaced with blood all over his face so we can say at least 1 kill under, so four retrieved in total. finally we moved onto the last set & only entered 1 ferret & within the first minute we had a bolter which was the only one we had from there. 9 in total. & thanks jim for coming to help me again, much appreciated jims hob.. whilst we were working the hedge rows we noticed a hot air balloon hovering low just above the tree line.. all of a sudden i heard a voice shout down to me, CAN WE LAND IN YOUR FIELD !!! ? i said, IS IT AN EMERGENCY ? YES... WEVE RUN OUT OF GAS ! a few shots.. i thought it was rolf harris Quote Link to post
