A couple of hours this morning before the heavens opened........

[-=Magwitch=- 29]

It was rather windy when we arrived at the farm this morning but being extreme hardcore ferreters me and Tony braved all that mother nature could throw at us and continued our mission of harvesting underground chickens. It dorned on us that the bank we intended to ferret was still rather overgrown but where the farm hand's son had been driving his quad bike around and around he had made a neat track around the buries, so we deployed the longnets in a figure of eight pattern to surround both halfs of this particular bury and then we entered the two jills and the hob. The wind didn't seem to bother the chickens too much today and they obliged by bolting freely, but after taking 9 healthy chickens from this first set the heavens opened up and we got absolutely drenched with a drop of the wet stuff. But with a short break in the weather we hurriedly longnetted a small bury on top of the bank right next to the farm house which produced another 3 hens and a cock. No dogs or camera today....................................too many restrictions from this particular farmer (being a keen shooting man himself) is making it hard to get stuck in this year, but we've got a little something tucked up our sleeve for next weekend and maybe its time to unleash the "Ted"...............................................

I forgot to add what a chore carrying his ferret boxes is ,because, when I put the strap over my shoulder the box reaches down to my ankles.

I drove his car along the orchard the other day,while he was picking up the long net,I couldnt see over the wheel!
