Joe 2 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I'm so pleased for you mate. Its such a happy feeling. I lost my hob about 6 weeks ago in a massive earth, which I was silly to ferret. I set a trap, left his box there and visited four times a day. This went on for 3 days untill he was been spotted in a garden of a cottage that was located in a large wood 1/2 a mile and across a busy road from where I had lost him. It was still unlikely that I was going to find him. I started to check the sheds and out buildings but there was no joy. I spotted a scruffy greenhouse that was 20 yards from the sheds and aproached it. When I entered I thought I could smell a slight ferrety smell so gave a whistle...... nothing. I was so close to leaving but just incase, I gave a second whistle. Out he climbed from a top draw with an old newspaper in it. I couldn't believe it. Quote Link to post

Crow 1 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Excellent :dance: I had to leave my best worker after a rumbling below ground resulted in a fox bolting - I set boxes, went back, but nothing. Anyway, I'm glad that it's not always bad news. Quote Link to post
