stoney3107 0 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi all Went for a couple of hours out yesterday with ferret and dog in hand. Things were all going fine when the dog marked a small warren at the side of a small pond. In went the ferret and a short while later out bolted a squirrel to my total surprise, closely follow by the ferret. I have never seen this before in twenty years of hunting, and wondered if anybody else has encountered this or any other surprise's. Cheers Stoney Quote Link to post
