new to the flock Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Okay Lee a few hints for ferreting with LB. Be sure once you are at your chosen location to be first out of the truck. Grab lots of stuff to carry, just be sure you grab all the light stuff. When you are approximately 1/2 way in to where you are ferreting "accidently drop"....place it so you know exactly where it is as you do not want to find it too quickly......an essential piece of gear. Notice this just as LB starts to net up. Be sure to belittle yourself some and go to "find" said item. Note this should take just as long as it does for LB to net all the holes....especially the ones in the nettles and under the thorn trees. Be sure to stand quietly while the ferrets work. If you see a rabbit hit a net some distance from you wave LB there as he is very light on his feet and seems to float over the ground. If by chance a rabbit bolts close to your feet. Pick it and the net up. Wave LB over to get a new net set in the hole, once he has done this hand him the netted rabbit to dispatch and untangle. Of course if another rabbit hits at another net be sure to point it out to him. Enjoy your day out and be sure to let him buy the breakfast NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
