2nd time out for polecat and jack russel

[mhopton 807]

Evening all this is only my first post apart from saying hello . Me and my son( 11years old ) and brother and his lad of 14 took my little polecat out for her 2nd time with my jack russel both are under a year old and I've been out off hunting for some time through working away. Any way new land we gained permission on over the summer was on the hit list . Arrived about 8 Sunday morning set off up the fields to a 16 hole hill side set nice and open perfect ' with all the nets on and jess (my polecat) ready to roll ' in she went half Hartley thinking the worst how wrong I was . 8 in the nets my son was like wow dad how good is this he was over the moon . After a few more sets time was on for 1 o'clock and 17 rabbits in the bag thought it was time to go , on way back Molly ( my JR) put a rabbit up and ran it down a hole and she followed getting stuck in the hole got her free but she was going mad so we set the nets 4 holes jess in and it was like bombs going of under ground 5 more in the nets two slipping but never got far as Molly was on every thing . It's up there with my best ever hunting trips ever seeing jess & Molly working so good and together for only the second time and the looks on the kids faces said every thing it's a day they will never forget or me

Brilliant day and bringing on a young terrier pup and a ferret that's my idea of heaven. The JR will soon get the hang of it and the penny will drop whats required

Great stuff

 

oh and welcome by the way

Cheers every one :-) it went a lot better then her first time out jess was ok it was her collar it came off in the set twice. first time was just a arm length down but the second was in a hedge Rowe 21/2 foot down and it was all bloody roots took ages lol . But Sunday was really good very pleased with the way they work together its unreal and it's all down to our lass I work away so she looks after them she's got them running around in garden playing together like best mats we'll I've never seen it before not like this . When I'am home Friday i will video it and post it on here To show you , but I must say I thought they would be rubbish as they are more like pets well they are to our lass they only hunt when with me twice a month
