Ferreting today

Had a look out with the ferrets today. Was a perfect day early on, no wind and a frost on the ground. Wind got up later in the day but we still managed to get a few rabbits out .

 

The land is a few grass sheep fields, bordering moorland and usually gets the full force of the weather as it has no trees to protect it.

 

 

Tried to get a photo of the area but had my finger over the lens :(

Pretty bare as you can see

 

Havent ferreted this patch of ground at all this season so was expecting some good results. Didnt manage the big bag i expected as we only managed to do 4 sets but got a respectable 8 and missed one due to a rotten hemp net. Had to dig 4 out altogether, which wasnt at all bad as the wind was gale force at some times.

Was hoping to get a run for my lurcher pup but we only flushed one on the way to the sets and the dog was on the wrong side of the field.

 

Going up one day through the week to do the rest of the sets, still around 5 or six that i know of.

 

final bag.

Good going mate. I don't know how you guys can be assed digging, I suppose I am lucky that my ferret will leave a rabbit after a while if it doesn't bolt. Love ferreting at this time of the year as it gets me an extra months shooting after the game season is over. :good:

hiya mate, i like to dig them out every time the ferret lays up, adds more rabbits to the bag and sometimes the ferrets put the rabbits eyes out ect. so i like to get the rabbits out and disppatch them

 

 

thought you was out rock hunting on your second pic lol well done anyhow :good: :good:

lol, You can just about see a net on that rock, there was a hole underneath it and a rabbit came out of it but got stuck, the ferret then dragged it down under the rock
