FENLAND FERRETS


Recommended Posts

picked up a bit of permision last week out on the flatland, thanks to a good a mate of here, the farmar has had to re-set some barley so hes not best pleased.

 

so friday afternoon armed with a few stinkers, some nets, and the old kelpie cross i had a couple of hours sport , just bolting a few out of the little burrows up a couple of dykes, and a warren in the flat of a field.

 

unfortunatly the land owner had tried to fill the warrens in , with a digger but the od holes here and there had been re-opend , i was worried of having to dig with so many holes filled in , but only had 3 digs, and one of those was to a cocker.

 

only used the purse nets on two burrows , wich acounted for for 3 of one and 2 of the other.

all in all a very enjoyable few hours with the dog working well catching bolters. she only missed 2 one of wich i dug 10 mins later.

 

i have a couple of short film clips, one of wich unfortuatly doesn't capture some real clever thinking, a rabbit had stoped about a foot out from a hole,, i was thinking feck she will strike and force it back in ,,, should have gave her more credit , she froze till it bolted proper, and cought it bringing it back like field trial lab

 

the bag resulted in 13 and the cocker,,,, here a few pics just click the films ones
