Thers two things i plan to do on the 1st of september First bieng take the ferrets out to do some smaller warrens to get them ready. Then im to go shoot the first duck of the season :clapping:

Unfortunatly my fire has been well and truely pissed on

 

Unless this foot and mouth turns out to be something or nothing (which is doubtful) then Im hardly likely to get much done this year Been feeling sorry for myself all day lol

Got 3 more ferrets to work as well as my experienced workers. Got the week off work next week so Im going to build a bigger carry box. Got a new mk3 locator and just sold my mk1. Going to buy some more nets and apply for my shotgun cert (I know Ive left it a little late to apply but Ive been very short of cash!).

 

All in all was getting ready for a cracking season, total (even more than last year) dedication to rabbit extermination. And now foot and mouth has the possibility of f*****g things up And as if that wasnt bad enough I noticed mixi on 3 of my permissions a couple of weeks ago

 

Its seriously depressing!

Hope this foot and mouth does`nt spread which it probably will or we can kiss the season good bye. Feel sorry for those whose lively hood the countryside is there just recovering from the last outbreak. Fingers x anyway 007ferret

Best of luck to those affected.(more problems just been reported on tv this evening).

 

Back to the original September starting......I remember reading an article in the spring where a gardener at cew gardens pointed out that everything had bloomed about 1 month earlier then usual.

Down here in Devon blackberries are plentiful (usually September) and the swifts have all gone back to Africa today from my part of town.

Does all this mean the bunnies will be ready for harvesting a month early??? If so i'll come back from holiday early!

Just a thought.

the swollows are all lined up ready to go round here , has anyone noticed a stop in young rabbits ? havint seen any young for over a month . anybody noticing the same

[Guest little_lloyd]

I found 2 rabbits with Mxyi on my ground a few weeks ago one dead and the other i managed to dispatcht before it entred it warren. I thought to myslelf that evening ohhhh f**k f**k f**k its ruined But i have noticed alot more rabbits than normal now :clapping: Still a few young uns about but i would say enough for a good days sport

 

Just want to clear some warrens full of brambles to make them accesable to ferret as theve all grown right over since i last cleared them around.

 

But to be honest i cant wait! Ive just started to make some pegs from my Hazel tree in the garden need to pop down to pinkers and get a few more nets and locator batteries and thats me sorted

 

The ferrets are restless they can sence its nearly time
