Nice to get the old folks out


Recommended Posts

Well was out today with my ferreting partner Ian and we decided to go out with Ian's step dad and 3 other golden oldies :lol: Was thier last trip out to the bit of permission we did theyd took 30 rabbits off of it in two trips already so we wernt expecting a massive amount of bunnies.

After a bit of a chinwag we set off.

 

The three wise men.....

Moved to the first burrow and netted up was a big tree and Kevin wanted to try a young jill so we netted up the 8 or 9 holes and slipped her in. Luckily was a nice clean bolt almost instantly straight into the net and the waiting arms of kevin :D No pictures of this burrow as it was only a quick outing for the young jill. Picked up the nets and moved to the next burrow. Probaly netted up about 20-30 holes was easy going though as there was 6 of us. worked 2 ferrets in this burrow first rabbit bolted into a net on the slope and kevin ended up rolling down the bank with it in his grip.

 

Bit of a tumble hey Kevin.......

As usual Cecil stood back and let the others do the work while he offered "constructive criticism"

 

Give us a hand Cecil....

Then we had another from up on top of the banks followed closely by the ferret. minutes later another bolted that was our lot from this first burrow 3 nice healthy bunnies.

We picked up the nets and headed further along the track entering a small stretch of woodland. This woodland was littered with burrows that hadnt been touched so far this season so we made our way along and soon found another nice burrow which resulted in a shallow dig of 1 foot.

 

Come on Dave we aint got all day...
