NEWKID 27,738 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 As we were cleaning out the ferrets today my little girl asked if she could take "her" ferret out, he a big old polecat and as placid as can be... he gets as much attention off of her as the dogs to be fair.. I was going to take the dogs up the farm for a mooch anyway so we chucked him and another hob in the box grabbed a few nets and a 50 yard longnet... It was early afternoon so we only had a short amount of time, I had an idea there would be a few under a couple of old stumps which has a fair bury around it (hence the longnet).. sure enough Bella marked well and I set the long net as Isla hovered over me with her ferret in her hand askin " can I put him in yet ).. eventually ( well 5 mins is a long time for a 5 year old ) she could let her mate get to work... I put teh other hob in to as theres a few holes and piles of branches etc... instantly there was rumbling followed by squealing, to far out of reach and directly under the stump they'd caught... I hoped they wouldn't hang about long and luckily they didn't, the white hob showed and had obviously killed. I moved him a long the bury a little and a rabbit bolted instantly hit the poorly set net ( I was under pressure from an impatient 5 year old ffs ) and rolled out, martha hit the net as the rabbit escaped... finally got after it and missed it by a gnats cock as it hit some brambles.. cue Bella crashing about in the brambles for 5 mins for the now long gone rabbit Luckily I only had my tree top look out Isla to witness my poor excuse of ferreting, I was thankful Sean or Mick weren't there Luckily for us there were a couple more at home and these were nicely netted so it wasn't all bad... Isla came down out of her tree at the end and asked if she could gut the rabbits .. I'm sure she's a boy in disguise Took a few pics of our short trip... Spot the tree top look out Isla with her Hob 19 Quote Link to post
