whippet08 8 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 hi all ,not doing much so decided to put this up,had planned to go out today for a couple hours with a mate ,turned out just me,so got my bitch, boxed up the ferret, and set off to a part of my permmision that i had not tryed before, my bitch had gone over too this warren but diddnt seem to interested,but fresh droppings,scratchings. so i laid the nets, collared ferret up and of he went,... nothing ferret was just popping back out,so so i started to pack up and move on,my friend now arriving, bit late but had reasons,so off we went across a field to the other side,i set the bitch off to go find a warren ,now i havent been too sure about understanding my bitches marking as quite new too this,but i have taken rabbits before, on warrens she had been keen on,but she as i, have got good understanding now,today on this warren shes just found she found a hole ,sticks her head right in there popping out looking at me then back in. so my friend and i netted up 9 holer popped in my hob,and waited, no sign of him so looks like were in buisness,....waited quite a while, so got a mark with the locator and proceeded do dig ,very shallow,about 2 foot. As this is happening, bang! rabbit hits the net,bitch is on it, untill my friend can get to it,gone over to have a look and,me ferret is there too,but quickly back in the hole i returned to my dig, broke through and theres ferret looking well happy with a nice rabbit in his grasp,pulled rabbit out and killed,checked for more,run the ferret through once more and packed up, and filled in a hole ,to check next time i had a look at some other big warrens to do next weekend and theres plenty ,few more for the frezzer ,sorted. thanks for reading heres a pic p.s lurchers are top!!!
