Slow Start

[simonrocco 175]

me and my daughter and a couple of mates desided to have a look out with the ferrets on sunday we went to a driving range where i have permission to control the rabbits we arrived at about 7.45am and got to the first set it was only a 3 holer and looked well used so nets on and ferret in but nothing at home we contined along the banking which runs along side the mini golf course trying every set we came across but the out come was the same nothing at home every set looked well used and there was plenty of signs of rabbits around the sets. we moved around the course trying sets until we came to a little strip wood at the bottom of the course and just as we were getting in to the wood a rabbit bolted out of cover and straight down a single hole so net on ferret in and 1 rabbit in the bag we walked through the wood and found only one set a 2 holer that looked worth doing so we netted up and entered the ferret and after a few mins rabbit number 2 was in the bag. we deside to have a look on the side of the lane leading up to the driving range the cover was a bit thick but we managed to get through it but found no sets so we desided to go back to the car and head to another place my mate had permission but yet again plenty of sets that looked used but no rabbits so we headed back to the car and on to another place not to far away we got there and netted the first set it was a 4 holer we entered the ferret and it wasnt long till we heard bumpping and a rabbit bolts into one of the nets shortly followed by another we continued on trying more setts and getting either one or two rabbits out of them we ended up losing light and the last set we did was an easy 3 holer which we were doing in the dark we netted up and put the ferret in after a good few mins we heard bumping and then the bushes moving the rabbit had bolted out of a new hole under some brambles so we quickly put the shovel in it as it was a bit hard to get a net on it in the dark not long after we heard more bumping and then another rabbit bolted which was quickly dispatched we gathered the nets up and headed back to the car and home we ended the day with 11 rabbits i didnt think we would have ended up with as many after our slow start. it was an enjoyable day in good company and also my daughter has started netting whole sets up and ferreting them herself which im really proud of her for doing it was just a shame every set she netted up there was nothing in. hope you enjoy the read atb sr.

yeah i agree its better to get them out doing something outdoors than them sitting in playing on their xbox or ps3. she absolutly loves to go ferreting with me shes always asking when can we go ferreting.
