Mad who me?

well,I cant be accused of being a sunshine hunter as last weekend I ventured out against my better judgment.We went into the arsehole of nowhere where theres a few handy ditches and some grounders.We climbed to the top of the hill and along the flats on top,well we lasted 2 hrs.The heavens opened.We had no cover and I always took pride in the fact that our ferrets rarely laid up but truthfully we had 2 small jills in,and BOTH the little shits stayed put below for half an hour in seperate places.1 was located at 2 feet and the other at over 3 feet.Well Falcon dug to one and I dug the other out,resulting in 1 dead rabbit and one very much alive,we ended up with 4 scabby rabbits.Back at the car I stripped down to the jocks,not a stitch on but the jocks and around the corner comes a car with an elderly couple heading for mass,he slowed down a little took 1 look and I reckon he did a lot of praying after seeing my naked form,tommorow were trying again but I swore I wont head out unless its bloody dry(Tommorows forecast:blustery winds up to 50 miles an hour,some showers are expected,and between the showers there'll be more ferkin rain)Good hunting to all and hopefully I'll have a go in the morn.

Yeah lets hope its not too wet tommorrow,with the weather so mild there will be baby bunnies soon and I've still got a lot to do.

HH I saw a bunny that would fit on the palm of your hand last Sunday.I was a little surprised to see them so soon,this is the 2cd time in a few weeks i've seen some.We're well behind with our rabbiting due to the weather.I'll have to go on a little longer than I would normally do.I usually finish up around Feb or March,but have to get back to a few farms again as we only cover half of them at a time.

I came across a couple of nests holding kits last sunday when I had the jills out.

I think it's fair to say you could come across kits at anytime of the year.

yip i was out yesterday with del and my wee lad, we got 17 and out of them at least14 had young inside

[jigsaw 11,899]

Got back at 5.30 today,we had a hell of a day.we were ferreting ditches and used 3 ferrets.We ended up with 14 but they were the hardest earned rabbits I ever took.The blighters wouldnt leave the ditch,they wouldnt bolt to save their lives (literally).We dug 9 out of the 14 and struggled all day to get up numbers,but again its better to be out than in I say.The rat ferret got a fine kicking and has a new hairstyle now,and we got 2 in a stop end.All in all though a poor day.I have to get a lurcher soon,watching all these rabbits poping from 1 hole to the next is nausiating and has me repeating constantly''I have to get a bloody dog''.11 rabbits were carrying young today so thats the start of the end of the season.We'll get another 3-4 weeks and then call it a day,good huntin people.
