springfield 20 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Spoke to someone that stocked rabbits that needed 10 for animal feeding.It was agreed that if I could catch them by thew weekend they would be sold.Off I set on to some permission I had about 6 miles away.After working my permission of about 11 field I had 6 in the bag.Not wanting to return without 10 I walked the public footpath lamping About 4-5 fields from the hedge rows.Ended up with 9.On the way home I called into some ground in my village a caught another 3 from about 5 fields.Getting us to 12.I carried 9 on my shoulder for about a mile I would like to know what the guys that carry 30-40 a night have as a pre-lamping meal. I left home at 9.20 and was home at 11.30.On getting home the camera was in my fleece pocket soaked from ferretting on monday with no battery.After waitng on for 15 minutes for it to charge decide to take shots this morning.1 has been put in for ferrets so 1 down on photo.I also must say this year so far I have never seen so many badgers around must of saw 8 last night.Enjoyable evening Quote Link to post
