JoeD 24 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Ok so I planned to go ferreting early this morning but slept through the alarm so it wasn't that early after all. I finally got to a new bit of permission which is quite small but seemed to have a lot of signs that rabbits where around. So I netted up my 1st warren and nothing came out, so moved on down to the open warren in the small orchard and as I done this a gust of wind blew a load of apples with 1 hitting me and now have a little bruise on my back anyway I stuck the ferrets down and 10 minutes later a thump of feet and a rabbit bolted through a hole that I somehow missed. 20 minutes went by and the ferrets kept popping there heads up so I gathered them up and had a go on a small hedge warren, I netted it up and within 15 minutes of putting the ferrets down I heard a squeak and a rabbit was in the net with the ferret hot on it's tail. Quick dispatch and carried on waiting, 5 minutes later another rabbit in the net out the same hole this time I wasn't quick enough and the ferret got to it before me so quickly finished it off. Then the rain came so gathered up my stuff and went home. I also got asked if I wanted any apples and that was a simple answer as I will be making cider now so I have 2 big buckets and a big bag full of apples to press as soon as it arrives in the post. Edit: Put photos up Sorry about the lack of photos and the photos are a bit boring but it's the best I could do single handedly. Edited October 11, 2009 by JoeD Quote Link to post
