Digging

[The one 8,457]

We where out today ferreting the bosses garden a big field that runs down to a canal he has a path cut round it in case he fancy's a evening stroll but the rest is wild , we saw a couple of rabbits run into a big burrow round a tree the first one flew out the second was a spade job for my son whos 21 and six foot three he got ripped and made hard work of it , so he says next ones yours smart ar*e , next mark was a big old wind blow stump and you struggled to get nets on the exposed roots hob in ten minutes later out with the box mark at under a foot i just leaned on the spade and said can you take this rabbit while i back fill made my day and nice and quiet on the way home

i don't see the need too dig ferrets out or is that just me or maybe a bit lazy people may say but what i can see no collars on no digging why not keep it simple instead dig this here and dig that there or am i missing the point, i have never lost a ferret yet touch wooden i don't but just feed the ferret before you go out then you don't need to dig.

 

As i said maybe i am missing the point on digging

If you don't dig to keen ferrets you are leaving rabbits underground, also you will spend a long standing around waiting for ferrets to surface.

Im sure the land owners would love it , give me a few pennys for killing rabbits and im driving up the farm road waving goodbye with a couple of rabbits in the car and all these rabbits start coming out burrows with bald arses that my ferrets have cornered in a bury and sat clawing at there arse LOL you would last about a week . every ferret collared up I get a mark spade comes out ferrets dug out when I leave a burrow I know its empty and all the rabbits are dead . you get paid to kill them no exercise them

Sure helps though when your sons six foot three and goes at it like a jcb

[jok 3,188]

Blinking eck Scott. What do you you do? 2 and 3 hole buries about a foot deep where you can just stick your arm in and retrieve the ferret oh and the rabbit.?? These buries might be 30 or 40 holes with the chance of a fox or similar in there. On a high bank on the side of a railway or whatever. What do you mean you don't see the need to dig. Sheltered life pal.LOL

If you put a ferret in always be prepared to dig them out what's the point in a ferret killing a rabbit then leaving it below ground, seems a pointless going out if you ask me

[mhopton 807]

Defo when there every chance the ferret could of climbed over a dead rabbit to get the next one kill that and by doing so trapping itself and suffocating its self 100% dig fella

I need to bang an Amazonian woman and breed me a giant to do the digging when I get old.

well yes 2 or 3 hole better i know were yous are coming from but why ferret if the ferrets is going to lay up all the time well i don't ever need to do 30 or 40 holes if i did i would need at lest 4 ferrets to ferret it, aye well i do not ever need to dig as all my ferrets are feed well before they go out to do a days ferreting i never used a ferret finder yet and can say its waste off money, if you can locate them the way they did years ago then why pay the money but everyone to there own people

Well mine have access to food twenty four seven , but I don't have the luxury of only working two and three homers I work any burrows in several county's but if my ferrets didn't stick at the rabbits and need dug out they simply wouldn't be here are aren't what I would class as a working ferret and certainly should never be breed from .

 

I might be working a garden one day , a field the next where the ferrets go off the gauge of a fifteen foot box . And a railway line the next where there's four , five hundred holes and it's the same ferrets that's working them and if the rabbits don't bolt they kill them and stick at it
