I agree with that Jim. Nothing I love more than taking the dogs ferreting but you can get away with a lot more without them.

 

I often nip out with a few nets and 1 Jill in my pocket and I can go ANYWHERE to get a couple of bunnys and never get any hassle. As you say, people will wave as they go past you. Let them see a lurcher and it's a whole different story :yes:

f**k going ferreting without a dog. Who marks? I ain't into wasting time netting emptys. Some if our permissions don't like lurchers but that's part reason I keep little dogs aswell. Marking up and helping put bunnys to ground and pushing them into long nets. Ferreting is like everything else there's a time and place to get job done quickly and bag up but it's also nice to kick back watch the animals graft and ferret at a lesurely pace enjoying the day and land around you.. Next time you up this way give me a shout Jim, even if just for a quick brew and chat about mongrels..
