ferretville 69 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Awoke this morning to be pleasantly surprised jack frost had been out last night . First thoughts im going ferreting today . So after a cuppa and slice of toast i gets meself ready and awakens the stinkers lol. All 3 were were allready up as if to say what took you so fecking long . Handfull of nets ,spade ,bag, ferrets,and locater and collars and i was off. After a slowish walk up (leg still fecked) i arrived at the golf course and seen the head green keeper having a cuppa . Popped over and had 5 with him and was pleased when he said the course was shut due to being waterlogged so it was just the groundstaff and me . Said our good byes and i headed off to the other side of the course and sat on top of this hill and had 5 whilst i enjoyed the morning air and peace and quiet. Today i was just going to do the easy and accessable setts as i was on me tod . Netted a 15 holer up and collared the ferts up . I decided to bring the 2 poleys today brother and sister . Collars on i entered the jill and stood back. After about 10 minutes not much going on i got the locater out and had a quick sweep . She was deep to ground 7ft looks like bugs did`nt want to leave his bed lol . Gave her a bit longer and i heard movement she had turned it and no sooner had i thought that number 1 was pursed up good and proper . Stuck the hob in aswell and everthing was quiet again only the birds twittering and me waiting in antisapation . Suddenly i had a double bolt but not in the net i must of mist a pop hole somewhere feck knowswhere as i had double checked . Funny thing was the 2 rabbits did`nt run for there freedom they had stopped in well kind of no mans land . I was motionless when the hob appeared lol he had found the pop hole He was off like linford fecking christie into no mans land after bugs . This was like slow motion watching the 2 rabbits turn to see linford coming up there arse . Bugs were off but straight in direction of nets set out . 1 it the first net to back net itself then the 2 did excatly the same brilliant i was buzzing :11: . So with that madness i picked up the nets as nowt more was at home and headed off to do a nice little 3-4 holer . Hob entered this time and i did`nt have to wait long as 1 bolted straight away wey hey number 4 in the bag . This was good sport ferrets grafting and rabbits playing ball . Next set was a nice little 6 holer which normally allways holds a rabbit so nets down and jill in this time . I could hear a bit thumbing going on when whooosh number 5 exited like an express train . Tried a sett not far from this 1 but it was empty so was quite happy to finish with 5 healthy rabbits and a bit work out for the ferts . A great few hours out in the fresh air with a handfull of nets couple of ferrets and not a soul in sight absolute bloody bliss Heres a the end of day pic and the jill raggin a bunny Noticed this rabbit had a white foot lol Feet up for me with a few beers and watch the footy cheers for reading FV Quote Link to post
