auld salmon 28 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) well got up this morning and there had been 1 inch of snow so me and the auld fella were away decided to do a hedge so a few purse nets set easy holes and the long nets either side was the plan for the day so first bit two ferrets down and then a few mins later one bolts onto als side then another starts hole hoping for a while with the poleys hot on its trail then we eventually get it in a purse net then onwards along the hedge . same senario a bit of hole hopping and then eventualy bolt with 3 out of this bit then next bit same again with the dog starting to show a bit more intrest with these holes mabe starting to know whats going on down there so a few more bolts and i think we lost one with the dog hot on its trail she should of had it but never picked it up ! she;s a slow learner but will get there .onwards rabbit bolts along the middle of the hedge and trys to get back down a hole but net never pursed to much shit around hole so away it goes along the hedge then another bolts which the dog seen and got to before al had seen owt onwards a couple bolt then nowt for a while out with the disco carrot and find it at 6inches so dig down and get it then another on als side he found it and dug down and was man enough to put his hand down and pull it oot the next set another not moving for 20 mins so found it 2 ft but the ground was as soft as sh then it moved this happened another twice before i got hold of it as it was the albino that was down and shes half the weight of the poleys then last set one bolts and hits the net on als side and mine at the same time dog got to the one on als side but managed to get away and my one ended up in mid air were i had the long net over the burn but by the time i got to it the fecker had flipped out and hit the naet on the other side but we got that then the dog was at the set we had just done as the rabbit had went back into it then heard another banging and bolts back to the last set as al was netting it up again so there were two in it . so ferret back down 20 mins later and nowt but found it at one of the holes i had backfilled and it was an easy dig got it by the head couldnt find the other one so called it a day . so it was great to be out as usual , ended up with 15 good big healthy rabbits think 3 bolted on my side the auld fella got the rest on his side with help from the dog ferrets enjoying a well deserved treat at the end of a hard day Edited January 10, 2011 by auld salmon Quote Link to post
