First Ferreting Outing!

[dibbz2000]

Went out on my first ferreting afternoon today, Set out about 12 to my first bury with my 2 Jills 9Who havnt worked yet!) A small bury 6 holes, netted up and set them down two holes! We waited about 4-5 mintues before a bunnie bolted straight into the net, then straight out of the net, but was taken down by my 12bore 30 yards later!!

 

That was it for the first bury, the next was a big 19 holer along a hedgerow, didnt use the nets this time just shot. Set the ferts down 2 holes again, 20 seconds later a bolter appears, stands then shoots up into the hedge and down another hole. We had a few do this I didnt want to shoot incase my girls were behind somwhere! But eventually 4 tried to make a break down the field, had all of them!

 

The last bury had 6 holes which again I didnt net as they were in the field. Set the ferts down. Took a few minutes before 1 bunnie appeared at a hole with my biggest jill latched onto its backside! Necked that, then put her down again, only to be followed by a long squeek....... No sign 10 minutes later managed to get my arm down deep enough to drag her out!! Left then again, whilst we still had 2 ferts!!

 

Sorry got no piccys but im going again 2morrow morning so ill take afew then!!
