killer catch 18 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 this is my second season now with my fmh and just got through my first moult. i free lofted her and fed her up on a good diet and the moult went well, she looks brand new. her feathers have been ready now for about 3 or 4 weeks but its has taken me for what seems for ever to drop her wait after waiting all summer. meantime i got my self a bit of permision on a local horse paddock surrounded by woodlands, very happy with this. finally she is responding well, abit heavier than last year but she seems ok. and now on to try the new permision. unfortunately on the day my pal blew me out so had to go out on my own, kinda tricky when having to ferret, as shes not to ferret friendly. straight away bird on the fist ferret down and no longer than 30 seconds got my first kill of the year. 5 minutes later a new set a second bunny bolts, fantastic chase from the woods into the paddocks back into the woods and the down a set, got away but a great chase anyway. after that i decided it was a bit to tricky handling both ferret and bird so packed up for the day.but for only being out 20 mins and testing out the new permision i had a great morning and cant wait to get back out. atb cheers 1 Quote Link to post

Accip74 7,112 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Nice one mate, it's always a bit nerve racking ferreting on your own even when the bird is broke to ferrets, I used to use an ex-girlfriends pet ferret & she hated hunting! I could never relax, cracking ferret though..... Good luck with rest of season Quote Link to post
