markieboi 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 went ferreting with Columbidae (tom) today on one of my best permissions,looked on one of the fields that i thought there may be a warren so had a look around no sign of anything till just around 40 yards infront we saw a rabbit crept towards it ,and it didnt go anywhere obivously mixie so tom said he will go grab his air rifle,while he was getting his airrifle i tried couxing the collie x to go pick it up but no joy so tom cam back from the van.croached down took the shot lovely shot i must add,head shot at the base of the ears which was great,so had another look around came back to the van. decided to do one of the warrens i have never tryed as it backs on to a road only a country lane,but a few vans go along the road so was a tad worryed about the ferret but i had a look on the road side and not to many holes so it would be easy to make sure the ferret didnt come out on the road, so me and tom set 2 of my nets 12 yarders n set a few purse nets either side of the warren. made sure the locater is working as if it wasent and i lost one of my babies.i would be quite upset,so stuck her down she went down hear the normal banging underground a rabbit came out the purse netter hole but as it was quite high up it decided just to peek out quick saw me then ran back in.thought i had one bagged but no so she carryed on doin her thing when maria(best worker jill) bolted a rabbit but ended up on it just out side the hole i think it may of relised if she grabs it just out side the hole that i will grab it break its neck and let her have some liver . As this has happend quite a few times.any way sorted that one out which was mixie .put her down again after her little feed of heart n liver,then i had a look around the warren and saw a unetted hole thought oh feck better net that looked clooser and there was a fecking rabbits digging quite happily makeing another tub i take it so i thought as im a pussy :kiss: that ill go grab the glove and pull it out so there it was happily digging (trying to get away from fert or not relising that the ferrets in the warren.and away put my arm in a quickly grabbed the rabbit it was a dead end so when my hand was in it wasent goin anywhere.so pulled it out after around a 30 second struggle .a nice healthy doe so sorted that out.then we thought i have 2 rabbits for the ferrets and tom has 1 for his dinner might as well call it a day so packed the nets up and had a quick nosey over our newly aquired permisson and saw some great runns so we put around 40 snares down and will have a look what we got in the snares tommorow will keep you updated this is me longest post to date fecking hell and thanks to tom for the company and all the help Quote Link to post
