Guest ferrets1234 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hello folks, thought i'd tell you all of my new permission, whilst out with hounds the other week, and watching a brace go away from cover, from a disused railway inbankment, i noticed a few rats feeding on a field of beet, the terriers were in the landrover , but as i was out with hounds thought i'd call back the next day. This i did, with ferrets at the ready and terriers screeming to go i unboxed and walked down a hedge bottom , terriers marking and ferrets were working fine, a few rats were killed, then the farmer turns up , puttting up some new electric fencing. I had a word and he said there was no problem, but in an hour could i call at the farm. This i did, He gave me permission to hunt the farm, rats rabbits and sqirrels at first, So far , in five weeks i've killed nearly hundred rats, had a few rabbits, then i gets some more permission at some sheds about a mile from the initial farm, This place has to be seen to be believed, there a beck at the back of the sheds that runs up through a village, rat holes for yards, the barns and outbuildings are lifting with rats, i've been going up every other day for two weeks , lifting old tin sheets and ferreting the beck, i decided to use a smoker, but therats don't seem to bolt as good as they do with the ferrets, any ideas, ? Anyway, this one day i was ferreting the lane , a big old ash tree , that i'd seen rats run into the base, the terriers were marking on the lane, when a four wheel car turns up , the driver had been watching me for a couple of days, and impressed with the way i work , he asked me to clear the rats and rabbits from his release pens, another good place, with plenty of fox kills about, last friday saw me working down a beck again at the edge of the pens, when the terriers put up a fox, trouble was i was stood in the beck, and shotgun was by a tree, so could'nt get a shot in, the keeper had seen a few on the lamp, but none close in to have to safe shot , so he asked if i'd be interested in checking a few earths out, that should be fun, just goes to show you, six months ago, i was contenplating packing it all in, to stick to fly fishing, then all of a sudden i gets this permission, should keep me busy for a while, Oh and a race horse trainer has just asked if i could look round his place and clear some rats rabbits for him, and he's offered to pay, bloodt unbelieveable innit, keep at folks, c ya.
