Couple of holes with BPR & BPR jr

[RossM 8,121]

Spoke to Lee last night and he said he wouldn't mind taking rhys out for his first time ferreting, last night was frosty but this morning it was hammering down. I knew a handy wee bit that was easyish to do and always produced a couple of bunnies. I took my old bitch along for the ride.

 

Met them about 10:30 and made our way to the first warren, this is a hedge row that separates a horse field from a crop field the bitch Marked it so netted up 8 nets down in total and let rhys take the ferret out the box and with a wee bit help place it at the entrance.

 

 

 

Ferret was down about 20 minutes without a sign, locator out and a Mark @ 5ft. Waited another 10 minutes and the ferret surfaced with signs of a kill below ground. Lifted nets and moved along the hedge line to a nice wee 6 holer, albeit a undiggable 6 holer. Entered ferret and after 10 minutes we had the first rabbit of the day.

 

 

Onto the next bit at an electricity pylon and you can net most of the holes but not them all, this is where the dog comes in handy! Netted up what we could and entered ferret again. I stupidly put codie back on lead and when the first rabbit bolted, by the time I slipped it it had made cover.

 

I left her loose and when the second rabbit bolted it wasn't so lucky and she picked it up and retrieved it live bac to rhys's feet.

 

Rhys with my flask of tea!

 

Called it a day as we were soaked right through and the boy was getting restless. Ending his first outing on a high for him with two rabbits.

 

End of day

Bleeding weather! I was about that age when I was first taken out rabbiting, I was even made to shoot a tin can off a rock with a shotgun, whilst the older son of my dads mate missed! 35 years ago now, but still remember the first outing!

Looks like you have introduced him into a lifestyle now, no going back!

Well what a wet day it was. Frosty last nigbt but when i woke up at 3am to the sound of rain i thought!! Why didnt we go lamping!!!

 

It sure was boggy and miserable but the wee man enjoyed himself. He was proud as punch with his rabbits and wouldnt shut up on the way home. He told his mum all about it!!

 

He was good as gold.

 

Great experience for him.
