John-B 4 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Well guys and lots of thinking over the last few months I have decided to call it a day with ferreting to concentrate more on my fishing, It has been a really really hard decision to make but I feel it is the right one, I have give away all my nets, my receiver and collars are on that well known auction site as from about 20 minutes ago and I will be keeping my 3 jills, Sandy, Sky and Bella as pets with no plans to breed from them or work them again. I will be keeping my permission going as the farmers are happy for me to lamp and shoot on there so I will still be doing that. It's been tough after doing it for bang on 20 years from the age of 13 but I don't think I will have any regrets. I will still pop on here now again as I have made some good friends and to just have a general nosey as to what people are up to lol. Right time to go and sort out my fishing gear and get a bait order in Edited February 5, 2011 by John-B Quote Link to post
