18 on sunday

[ben west yorks 4]

hello all,decided to go out Sunday morning with a couple of friends to some permission,so off we went with two terriers 6 ferrets 2 spades a quick set longnet and my purse nets, arriving on the land didnt see that much on the top which was quite unusual as last season season it was very productive, approached the first set which normally held about 6 rabbits usually last season, positive mark from the dog banged ferrets in and nothing for ten minutes, out with the mark 3, 4foot mark broke through about 3 foot to 1 very dead rabbit,did 2 more sets both holding 1 a piece, with not much happening on that land we decided to move to some more land with just 3 rabbits. after a 10 minute drive we got on the other land and a quick talk with the farmer we started the first 6 hole set with a good mark from both dogs out came 2 rabbits took the tally to 5, then started to do some small warrens with a combo of long net and purse nets producing better numbers,next set we had a good 4.5 foot dig through some big tree roots .then a 2 hole run through marking by the dogs added a another in about 20 seconds. then after a quick sandwich it seemed to be alot of digging the next few sets,any way ended the day with 18 not the best bag but we run out of daylight and we spent most of the morning on the other permission that didnt produce, and a 2 hard digs on the other land with tree roots which took up the time ,all in all a great day with some good banter.a few pictures from the last set and the only easy dig we had sorry didnt take any more photos but battery was flat. crap end of day pic aswell but it was coming dark by the time we had walked to car.cheers lads atb
