nehunter73 2 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Had a look out today with john off here and me old fella and the bairn. Been planning it for a week and practicing with the longnet coz there's some canny big sets on the land. Woke up, got ready and off out buzzing. Bloody van wouldn't start AGAIN but soon gave that a push and I was on my way. Got to the permission at about 9am, and the day started well, first set and 4 out 2 in the purse nets and 2 in the longnet. Moved on to a couple of smaller sets, carried on bolting 2 or 3 out of every set. Wasn't too bad a day, only had 3 digs but guess who drew the short straw every time Took the gun with me this time for the bairn to have a go, he had half a dozen shots at rabbits but couldn't hit a barn door bless im, never mind practice makes perfect. To finish the day off we went to a set with a few hundred holes, set the long net up and in went 3 ferrets. The ground was thundering and ferrets managed to bolt 8. All of which ran in the opposite direction to the longnet Called it a day then and headed back to the van. Guess what, Bloody van wouldn't start again. Trying to bump start a tranny van on a narrow, boggy dirt track is not much fun. Got it started and about 35 miles from home and noticed running out of juice, pulled into the services to get some and realised that I'd left the fuel cap key at home so had to break petrol cap off to get deisel in. Never mind, all in all not a bad day 25 fat, healthy rabbits and a kid thats going to sleep all night. 1 Quote Link to post
