matt101 115 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I was just browsing through some photo's from last season and as they brought back some fond memories, i thought that id post some up. They aren't all from the same day. The photos with the stopnets in are from the same day and resulted in 17 rabbits and the other ones are just end of day shots + a photo of the two hobs i have. Hope you enjoy matt Quote Link to post

matt101 115 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 cheer mate, Yeah these are the first stop nets the i've used and they are very useful bits of kit! plus its very exciting seeing a rabbit kick a net off, hammer it off along the hedge row and straight into a stop net. I think out of the 17 we got that day, about 5 were taken in the stop nets, all of which would have been lost if the stop nets weren't there. Yeah i'm please with the ferrets performance so far, although they are a nightmare at the moment as they are in season and forever struggling to get out of your hand. Before they came into season they were fine, nice and calm and were quite content to just chill out when you handled them. Cant wait till september! Quote Link to post

Alex Harker 3 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Looking good fella, we got our ferrets today so next time your down we can give them a try. How's your ferrets coming along? Quote Link to post
matt101 115 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Yeah cheers for the nets albert, they do the job very well. Billy baltic, nah no dog im afraid, id would love to have a good lurcher but my situation at the moment will not allow it. Something to look forwards to in the future! Cheers alex, thanks again for the day at yours, was very enjoyable even if i did almost scalp myself on barb wire in pursuit of a rabbit! Yes we shall give them a good go and see how they perform, i'm sure they will do nicely. My ferrets are fine, just a bit mad, quite a hand full at the moment but they will calm down by the end of summer. Just contemplating whether to give them the snip, it would mean they could live together in the summer, but i was thinking of adding a jill to the team and if thats going to happen then id like a vasectomised hob to take her out of season. Oh well, lots of time to ponder. ATB Quote Link to post
