bugg 84 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 So its all looking good for the trip out on sunday, the horses have finally been moved off the field so we can get cracking, its a 6ish acre paddock is the main focus for the morning lined with rabbits all the way around it, however the warrens between the rabbit fencing looks quite a challenge, iv seen over 30 rabbits sat out in the mornings so all being well a good bag is on the cards, and i tell you waht ever since i purchased a 6x4 run with the 6x2 hutch on the top the ferrets are looking in peak condition,feeding them in he run they grab a biscuit and steam up the ramp every time, will let you know how it went as soon as i know Quote Link to post

bugg 84 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 So, the day started very badly, 3 rabbits bolted and went off trouble free and in molested as my dog was was with me on the road bank and an unnoticed hole in the long net which I think happened whilst taking it out of the car,but hey ho time was on our side,we kept muddling on switched sides of the hedge as all the holes were on the road side but bolts generally into the field, afew more half hearted bolts up and down inside the thick cover and 1 in the purse net, things wernt looking great I must say, we carried on....put my 2 young hills in the final set of the road bank on the corner and bang 5 in the long net, smiles all round. On we went still amnd steadily the numbers were creeping up as was the cover density, then the red cheek moment, bloody mixy rabbit which I bolted with midge(the tinyest sable ferret I have ever seen) and she's a youngster but is getting the idea rather well, shortly after the first lay up but well worth a dig as she had 2 rabbits cornered in a stop,a bloody great buck and another nice size one,both however had a faint glimmer of mixy on the eye. We pulled out of the field to avoid more hold ups,I'll go back with the rifle and get the rest, we potters on down the road banks one of the guests at this point was more interested in being in the phone and moaning at this point so the mood of the day kind of changed so I wasn't going to head of to a rested spot and do it half assed so went to a place we had done the previous outing just see if there were many left, got one from there and the owner was pleased with the previous effort as the plague of rabbits had gone (we only had 6 lol) but a happy chappy none the less, so as Dan25 said, a bag of 15 and a nice day out to boot, pikeyboy who I go with regular and dan25 always welcome but the +1...... No, right I need a brew after writing that Quote Link to post
