Nick3439 83 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Quickly popped out to the local Golf Course as I was keen to try out Andy's nets I'd bought off here... Having not bought a set of nets for 15 years I've been used to using Bisley Nylon ones and knew no different. Had a wander and found a small warren at the base of a tree, fresh droppings and digging identified it as worth a try in lieu of a dog to mark for me; quietly setting up the nets I decorated the tree in preparation for a retro 80's roller disco. I popped the two ferrets down; it's been a 2 week lay off for Clyde as he'd recently been castrated so his first time out for a while... Off he went straight down the holes; him and his sister popped there head back up no more than twice before the next thing shooting out was a Coney now fully dressed in Dayglo 80's gear disco dancing around nicely pursed up. Quickly dispatched I went to reset the net; oh my how much easier is Spun Poly to reset?! With storm clouds looming and bed calling; I waited till the next time both popped out and fetched them away; from stepping out the car to sitting back in I'd been out only an hour, a true 'quicky' in the ferreting sense, but with a long stretch till payday, that rabbit will do nicely on the table, the wife will be pleased!

Nick3439 83 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) The only thing wrong with the little pop out was Ticks. I have never seen so many tiny little ticks ever; so tiny I thought they might be mites, Some research revealed that Tick Larvae hatch in bundles of thousands and it would appear that a few hundred got on each of my ferrets. Absolutely infested. I guess it's to be expected in an area rife with deer. As for the Hi-Viz Yellow nets I'm waiting for someone to ask me what I'm doing so I can say "I'm highlighting the rabbit holes, it's a health and safety requirement" Edited February 11, 2014 by Nick3439 2 Quote Link to post
