Furrosious ferreter 499 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Took my middle daughter out today as shes been banging on bout coming ferreting. She loved being out... but wasnt keen on seeing the rabbits in the nets... so had to keep the dispatch and gutting out of sight... but she did look after the rabbits and have a good look at them, out of curiousity. We had 2 in the two small warrens we did with 2 new to working jills that show good potential. FF 10 Quote Link to post

FF Good on you pal that's how I started many years ago with mine, she don't half help me out though i take the whole family out with me sometimes, we have actually all been out today One thing that sticks in my mind is taking a chap.off here called Nobby out as he wanted to learn ferreting and long netting. After a.few.times out he said his kids were interested and wanted to join in so took the whole family Mrs and kids out and put them on a nice easy set with plenty of bunnies and just enjoyed sitting watching them, his kids loved it and he then repaid the favour by getting me into sea kayaking and we have been good friends ever since 5 Quote Link to post
Arry 18,536 Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Well done for taking her out with you, prime time. You have to savour those days wether it be Ferreting, Shooting or Fishing etc out teaching the kids. They are priceless memories, so many the lads cooking sausages threaded on a hazel whip over a little camp fire while fishing for flounder. Or the youngest lad shouting insults at a net he was tilling that kept falling just because he was hungry. Lol. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post
Furrosious ferreter 499 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 She did well asking questions and being polite to the land owner... got an invite to come and sit on one of the horses too. Not been a great weekend for me as i lost my granddad on friday morning. He always asked about me ferrets and was interested in me hobbies. I have fond memories of him passing on knowledge that i wont forget. FF Quote Link to post
