andy s410c 63 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Decided to go to Dryburnside today as the quarries need a break,well from me Arrived 9:30am to clear,ish sky & N/W breeze.I took the 2 adult jills today as sometimes the sets on here can be waterlogged in some parts.After a 15 minute yomp across the slippy paddock fields & marshland i arrived at the top of the burn. Several rabbits ran into the dry stone walls & sets i was starting at,a 5 & 12+ holer i purse netted the 5 & ran the quickset around the other.I let things settle & i put both jills in the bigger set,result 2 in the quickset I then put 1 jill in the small set after about 10 mins a rabbit literally fell half dead into the purse net . I then moved downbank to a nice 10 or so holer,ran the net around it,put 1 jill in,another 2 into the quickset. At the bottom of the bank i ran the quickset & purse netted a few holes on a spread out 15+ holer,only got 1 out of it which i was suprised at I moved into the other field to do a tree root set,quickset & purse netted a few holes,2 on the other side of the fence :angel:I had a bite to eat & put 1 jill in & managed to bag 2,which 1 was recovering from myxi.I decided to call it a day as it was past 2pm & i had a very long uphill yomp ahead of me which i can honestly say nearly killed me!!! End of day photo,8 rabbits & one bloke requiring oxygen Quote Link to post

End of day photo,8 rabbits & one bloke requiring oxygen It's all right on the way out, down the hill. It's the 30lb of rabbits to carry back up that does it! Less of course 1/2lb of sandwiches which doesn't make much difference. Well done. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post

andy s410c 63 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Are you and Brimmer having a contest or something Andy! Just got a bit of time on me hands now due to the "economic downturn" as they put it... looks like it may continue at least for the ferreting season Quote Link to post
