simonrocco 175 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Me and my mate desided to have a look out with the ferrets yesterday we went to one of my permissions that I haven't been to since last season due to mixy. We set off at 7am and arrived about 8.30am we should have been there sooner but there was quite a bit of snow and ice on the roads. We arrived and after a quick chat with the farmer we got all the gear and headed off to the first set in a little strip wood my mate started netting up while I ran the longnet out in the died just outside the wood as there's a few holes in the field once I had done that I joined my mate setting purse nets this set is quite a big one of around 40 holes once we were netted up we entered our ferrets I had brought my Jill and my two big hobs and my mate had brought his two jills we entered my Jill and my whit hob and my mates young Jill and it wasn't long till we heard bumping and rabbit number 1 bolted out into a net my daughter had made but the net got snagged on a branch and didn't purse right and the rabbit got out and ran into the next set we ended up getting 5 out of this set and dug 1 we moved to the 3 holer where the rabbit had ran put my Jill in and rabbit number six was in the bag. We moved down to the old railway bank and started netting the big set up we had 91 nets out and 75yrds of long net to cover it all we entered all 5 ferrets in this one working it from one end to the other as there was just 2 of us we ended up getting 7 out of this set with 2 digs the 3rd set is one that you can fun the longnets round but this one had nothing in there was a 20 holer further down from this one which produced 2 out of it we moved further down the banking and I set the longnet out around all the holes and my mate set the purse nets on the other side of the fence we entered to ferrets in this one and after a while we had to locate this one after a short dig another rabbit and then another 2 in a block end then my mates ferret bolts the last rabbit just as it was about to hit the net it turned and went back down a hole and wouldn't bolt so another short dig and the final rabbit out of this set was in the bag we desired to do one last set as we were loosing the light we ended up bolting 3 rabbits from this set and digging the last one in the dark we ended up with 20 rabbits a really good day enjoyed by all.
