rushy lad Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Just got back from a spot of ferreting. A beautiful day, Really calm. Took one polecat, 10 hemp nets and did a few smallish warrens. Bolted two into the nets, but lost a few when I decided to have a go at a larger spot of about 15 holes. Two or three bolted out of the unnetted holes, But never mind, At least I was out in the fresh air. Noticed a lot of young about though and with this sort of weather I can see them being around for a few weeks yet. Rushy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hi, I have seen lots of small young that can only just have left the nest so there will be a few more around for a while yet unless we have a nice long cold snap! (Nice, but unlikely!) FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushy lad Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Yes at this rate I will have to wait until December to ferret again!, Won,t bother for a few weeks now, Good to see healthy population around my patch but damn frustrating when you want to go out.

Puddytat Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Met office said we're in for the coldest winter in 20 yrs and to prepare for snow.. :thumbs: so that means we all gotta get our beach kits out again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushy lad Posted October 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) They say It every year! But I guess it will happen some time, Haven,t had any significant snow fall in this part of Cumbria for years, Plenty in the lakes but not here and I am only 20 minutes away. This is a great start to October, It was 20 degrees here yesterday! :thumbs: Rushy. Edited October 6, 2005 by rushy lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
