Ideation 8,216 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 So i decided on the usual evening walk with the ferret earlier on, with aboutan hour of light left, i thought i'd just go out and try to bolt a couple for the dog. Went up into the woods behind the house and pretty much straight away got a mark on a nice little 3 holer. In goes the ferret, and. . . . . . . nothing. Silence! After a while the dog starts to scratch and dig at the ground. So out comes the Disco carrot and informs me i have a nice 4/5 foot dig under a holly tree. A bit of gruelling labour later and ok comes one very dead bunny and one little jill. Ah well, can't always go to plan! Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 That's the thing, when i say it doesn't always go to plan. What i mean is, it doesn't always unfold like plan A was meant to. But you got to have a plan B. Plan B was simple. Spade, and mobile phone with torch on clenched between teeth . It's when you have no plan B that you're f****d. Or when your desperatly trying to scrape together plan C Quote Link to post
