Great shooting!! That call certainly is deadly

Thanks all, couldnt believe the weather it was glorious all day saturday, very much unlike today as its rained all afternoon :(

I wish id have taken the gun as spotted a good few woodies and crows, there was even squirrels out that seemed to be mocking me, **** law I guess..thanks fruity and zabala they did great for there first day out, I need a quickset long net next and will be in business

Went out this morning at first light with the ferrets and my patterdale George, tried a field I Know that has a few buries in it first as it was the first time out for my polecat jills and George had never been on a proper day out rabbiting with ferrets, also id only ever shot Pigeons on this particular field so the odds was stacked against us, we netted up and had 5 mins rest whilst letting the dog off lead and then let the ferrets go in.. Around 10 mins pass and no rumbling and out come the ferrets... No joy here at all. Off to the next field I know there is only one bury in but worth a try anyway, so we arrive and net up only six holes...in go the ferrets and George watches on from the fence he is clipped on too, I hear a rumble and out pops the first rabbit of the day...from an unseen and un netted hole arghhhh!!! Seems today is not my day so pack up and take a ten minute drive to a small 3 acre field and I know there are plenty of holes to put ferrets in around the hedgeline.. So we net up and bag our first of the day.. I quickly despatch it and then let the ferrets have a play to get them interested...george also has a play and we do some retrieves by throwing it around and then he gets the idea..time for the flask then on to net some more holes.. I take another three rabbits from one bury and start to think my luck is changing and then net up the last bury, out pops another but would you believe it... Another unseen un netted hole.. George to the rescue catches the rabbit and fetches back to hand for me to despatch it, I check the time its 11am and time to head back home.. A well enjoyed few hours and very impressed with the dog and also the ferrets, they all did very well for a first effort and the only mistakes made were on my part lol, anyway heres the pics.. I think the last pic might not be from today but its the only pic I can find of five rabbits so maybe/maybe not... ATB Damian

Lmao

Well done Ricko and Jay!! Will be funny to see all these after the full month.. Im going to sign off on another new permission on thursday and dreading It with this moustache

Another 16 days does seem like an eternity.. Its ok at work a load of the lads are doing it but can see ppl in tescos etc talking to my moustache and smirking :( I quite enjoy looking like a 70's porn star lol

Thanks for the support I will search for the team! That video was very comical, my moustache is like the colour blue...

Hey guys as you may or may not know its MOvember and im growing a moustache to raise money and awareness for mens health issues click the link for more info and to see pics and donate please give generously every penny helps... http://mobro.co/Damian1225 Thanks in advance Damian

Cracking pics mate, nice to see people appreciating these kinds of sights whilst out hunting

I was unlucky with emails, sent them to golf courses and farms and riding schools and had no joy :( But the more you ask and the more different ways you ask you will always have success at some point if you try hard enough

I really struggled to get permission, and found that speaking to lots of people about hunting I found one or two people into it, got out with them and got a couple of two acre permissions of them, also a friends parents had land so signed off on another 16 acres and this monday a guy i sold a dog too has very kindly found me some permission on his friends land and from what i hear its more than i will walk in a weekend so a substantial plot of land, all from talking to everyone I meet lol, I sent 156 letters out two months ago and have had no response back as of yet, cost me a fortune in stamps too :( I went from none to lots in the space of two weeks, hopefully now I will do a good job for them and keep my permissions which will be just as hard as gaining it. Best of luck Damian
