stroller 341 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 just got the chance today to get access to a landed gentrys land of which there are thousands of acres and thousands of rabbits, The catch is to clear a couple of hundred rabbits from an area that will be planted with new trees, i need to do it now however my old jill has a late litter of young still in the nest and my two new additions from Ne hunter are still too young to work properly.i know its early to ferret but it needs doing and if i dont then i will miss out on this unique oppurtunity i cant take anyone on the land as the gentleman and his keepers are extremely strict about who is where doing what and he laid it on the line that i was bloody lucky to get access and not to f**k it up. i will probably get a lend of a couple from some of our lads mates but i would rather have used my own stuff. you should see the sets sweet as a nut just a few nettles in clean fields, i cant wait Quote Link to post

stroller 341 Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I know what your saying about the thorny stuff ive had times where ive spent more time after ferreting trying to get thorns out of hands and knees than i did ferreting! Alright John, Trev is lending me a couple of ferrets to get the job done bless him. He is a bloody star otherwise i would have had to try and buy or borrow a couple from our lads mates none of whom do a lot of ferreting so it would have been a dubious choice. The kits are doing fine the hob is really getting big now. i also have a nest of young ones im not sure how many as they are in the kennel in the ferret court so ive just let them be, i would say they will be making an appearance out into the world this weekend at some point.

stroller 341 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 It is a once in a lifetime chance John. My lad was up beating and picking up with the big dog Bob on the Cotherstone shoot last thursday and the keepers couldnt beleive we had been allowed on. I just want it to go very well and to be honest it could do with more than two blokes and two dogs to do it justice but my hands are tied Quote Link to post
