In The Bracken Beds

[neil b 2,355]

As per usuall we were on the fell just as day broke once we had the ferrets collered up and gear ready we made our way slowly up the fell side onto the bracken beds watching the lurcher, waiting for a mark, first set was a nice easy 6holer. This was the view from on top of the warren first few rabbits were soon in the bag, then the rabbits just didn't want to bolt resulting in a few digs 6in total luckily 2foot seamed to be the deepest onwards and upwards just following the lurchers nose, we ended the day with 10 6of which were digs. happy hunting Neil b

well done mate... nice looking dog too love it when they can lead the way marking all the sets with bunnys at home...

Saves loads of time, just trust the dog100% and away you go

[nottzhunter08 898]

I sure do agree with you bud a lurcher wouldn't be complete without the ability to scent and mark

[neil b 2,355]

That's what's I predominately wanted her for, marking ability, anything else is a bonus. We have that much ground to cover a lot of time could be wasted netting up empty warrens

cracking pics neil , have you tried the quickset system up there ,as you know its a lot quieter to set than purse nets ,so bunnies bolt easier well they do for me lol

We do use them were possible but it wouldn't work very well on those deep bracken beds, some days they just don't want to bolt it's just one of those things,
