Ferretting today very good fun


Recommended Posts

We have taken on a new bit off ground due to former ferretters being unwilling to ferret some of this farmers ground due to size of the warrens.

 

To say the warren was on the large size it run roughlt 500 yards along a bank with a thickish hedge.

 

We pursed netted the top half as it was open but at the bottom just netted the outside holes with two longnetts though gaps .

 

All 11 ferts in working the top open section first it was slow for a while bagged 5 then started to overlap the ferts moving downwards in hedge when we got to centre section it kicked off rabbits bolting backnetting and in the longnet.

 

A couple of good runs for the lurcher and our long legged terrier who loves catching in bottom of the hedgerow.

 

Had a brew and snack and then worked our way back down and collected a couple of rabbits that must of slipped back though the warren.

 

You can see the huge grazed area
