MM Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well, what a day. Met the gang at 0830, (Tug was there at 8am, my fault pal) One by one they turned up. Tug (dave) the Ginger italian (Rich) Will1994 (er....will) and his mate Sam. Scottommo, Bob (Evo) Alexf, Myself and my good friend Leanne. Jonny couldnt stay, but turned up to make his apologies. We headed down to the fields in a couple of cars, to some nice weather for a change. The gang knew it was going to be hard graft, as there was a hell of lot of scrub and bramble to clear. It was a pleasure meeting up with the lads i know, and the ones i dont. the day was meant to be one of fun and giggles. A;so, looks like we have contverted a young lady into the sporting life. She might be a member on here pretty soon.The pics and vids explain it. Many thanks to those for helping, and Dave and Rich for their expert tutelage. I do hope that even if nobody learnt owt, they all had a good laugh anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 He should have listened to the safety brief about the use of machetes... "look Mum no hands!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well it wasn't a huge bag, but we more than made up for it with good company. Hopefully those of you who have never been ferreting before got a good insight, and it certainly proved that it's not all plain sailing when it comes to working heavy cover. One good bolt to the net, and one dig to a kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntsman Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 The amount of cover on this land makes it very difficult to ferret,what martin didnt show was the amount of stone wall that is hidden within the undergrowth. Looks like MMcountry pursuit school was a success. well done to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 The stone wall wasn't an issue, the head height brambles were the issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegingeritalian Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Head height for you, well above head height for me. Whilst taking my kit of the car i noticed that the sample pot has leaked gin into my welly , not sure how you clean gin out of a leather lining!

bakerboy Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Looks like you all had a great day out, and well done for organising the event this is truly pigeon watch at it's very best. I have just got in to ferreting with 4 PW members who have been most helpful and have given superb guidance and instruction to my son and grandson (handlebar and handlebar2). Most of handlebar2's nets and other equipment plus the Ferrets(Colinlad) were given to him by PW members and are soon due their first outing, you will hear how we get on. Stealth Stalker (Neil) Catcherpelt (Ian) The pelt man (Ian) and Jim the fish (Jim) are a great bunch of lads on the five visits to a new permission we have had getting onto 250 rabbits and next weekend we expect a bumper harvest (that will spoil the day). Keep up the good work MM. Edited December 30, 2012 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Got them setting nets and everything, good learners who were prepared to listen. It was hard work, and it's always nice to get a couple more bunnies - but it's not always bumper bags and it's best not to spoil them too early Edited December 30, 2012 by Tug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 yeah, its easier if they chop it all back first, and then we go in all quiet hahahha. Just kidding. A top bunch of guys (and gals) and a great day was had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
