i like many have enjoyed a day out with the ferrets,but today we took the shotguns instead of nets.

i have quite a lot of land and a good lump has rabbits all over.

we got there for 10am this morning with 3 ferrets.

the first set was huge and after an hour we had 13 rabbits at our feet.

my mate saw some rabbits run into a set half way down the bank(everest is smaller),we got there to see 3 holes,i did not know that such sets were around,10 minutes and nine rabbits.

ok we missed a few but we ended the day on around 30 big bunnies.

a great day........

this place has one more that shoots it......he likes to crow shoot,but someone has been poaching it ......

all the daft ****** has to do is ask and he will get on as the farmer keeps live stock and they are damaging themselves with all the holes,it looks like they are shooting from the road and leaving all the rabbits where they fall..(shame)....

all in all not a bad day and just had a ferret given that followed an old woman home...Honest.

its all skin and bone and looks like its been out for a few weeks but we will see if hes a worker after we get him back to normal...

now back to work tomorrow then off sea fishing on sunday.....its a hard life eh...

with such a good day last time,we decided to do it again.

this time at an old slate quary i have.

bad...bad move,4 ferrets all in the slate and rocks,on a plus side we bolted 13,and shot ten.

bad point is we managed to lose a mk3 collar.

this was located ten feet down under a huge pile of slate,now we need a new one cos only an idiot would have tried to dig it out.

next time we will make sure that the collar is tighter before rushing in.

oh and we got a bonus pheasant.

 

 

the moral to this is.......check it then check it again...................then check it again to make sure.

but still enjoyed it in the wind and rain.
