Good write up Kev. You will be pleased to know that it's Sean's turn next Sunday....I am bringing a hob that I have been teasing all week with his ear muffs!

So last Tuesday saw SeanC and I embark on the most surreal ferreting trip I think either of us has ever undertaken. To set the scene cast your mind back to the week before Christmas; I had rung Sean to tell him that I was on my way to a charity auction at my local, where I had entered a days ferreting as one of the lots. I say my local but this would more accurately be described as a place where I drink semi-regularly. As a result I was nervous about how this lot would go down, having volunteered it one night when I had definitely had too many. Sean had offered no words of encouragement, s

So our season started this week with a Tuesday afternoon reccy to a spot that we only got one day on last year. However this spot provided me, seanc, newkid and a few others with 67 rabbits in 6 hours; not bad for a bunch of devon banks. We were gutted that we only got one shot last year at this hallowed ground, but the oportunity to kick this season off with a bang meant that we soon forgot about that. The reccy proved productive. Last year we had to call in reinforcements to tackle these hedges, and I think a conservative estimate would be that we only worked 10% of the banks. There were rab
