Frank Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 How do all. Was ment to go ferreting this morning, but after waking up to slashing rain on my window , i turned back round in bed and dreamt of unlimted bolting rabbits in massive open feilds. Anyhow, i got a great ferreting DVD in the post today and watched that for a while, then the weather cleard for a bit, so **** it i thought, ill chance it and go, it was 12pm by then , cutting it a bit fine, but thought id better stick to small burys. Took my polecat hob, put collar on and set of with nets and spade, 1/2 hour later, was walking towards the first set, with rain smacking on my face Put hob in, could not heare **** all with the wind, waited 20 odd mins, no bolt, locator on, he was 9 ft down Waited, locator back on, he moved and was out, thank god. He had killed the bunnys and moved on. The rain was bad by now, so took shelter under a bush, over looking a valley and enjoyed watching everything, for a few mins, its not all about numbers and time. Rain stoped, i set up some nets on another bury, waited and waited. On with the MK 3 and got a reading at 2ft. Started digging and eventually broke threw, right on top of the ferret and bunny , the MK 3 is prooving to be a great usefull bit of kit. Enterd him one more time, as it was getting late and out poped a bunny from a missed hole and ran across and down the hill out of site into a hedge. I could just imagine a good whippet behind it. Pics below of my day, only one bunny, but i dont care, as i had a great afternoon out walking about. The pic of my hob down the hole was not the best, he does not want to be reconised Dont post yet, till i have the rest of the pics uploaded Thanks for waiting. Frank.

Hunter Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Nice pictures I find you always get results if you keep going for it. I have gone out on days when I just knew there wouldnt be anything out.. rain, wind, dark, hot, all kinds of days. But if you go for it, and dont give up, you wont be disapointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
