You should know by now that I am a man of my word. . . I kid you not my good man.

 

The sedge is plentyfull and theres a few spots with plenty to go at...Dont you worry.

Not something I have done a lot of.I couldent think of owt better that this type of sport. I may try braking my two to ferrits.

I try and get out at least once a week with a ferret spade and dog. Got a fair bit to go at ferreting wise here plus in my opinion nothing better than watching a keen dog cover a bolt snap it up within yards then take there place back up on the warren. I got my pup working well with ferrets catching a couple of bolters every time out as said teaches them a lot can already see the penny dropping with marking and putting them to ground. Good way to build trust between dog and owner aswell if my old dog says no it means no it's just a waste of time setting nets.

I do it the odd time. Dont really have the land suitable for doing it. The rabbits can make an escape fairly easy as the ground i hunt on is littered with warrens and the rabbits be out and in a hole and gone. Was ferreting the the other day with no nets for a bit and my bitch managed to get 3 out of 6 bolters.

[trigger2 3,137]

its summat i dont really do as i am a lamper and my dog aint built for catching bolters.

 

having said that i do enjoy the odd time my dog pics up a bolting rabbit on the very few occasions i go ferreting.

How many of you do this regular these days ?

 

In my humble opinion it is the sport of kings and maybe the only thing left that we can legally enjoy these days.

 

Ferrets down, No nets and dogs left to do their thing.. Its poetry in motion when all the elements come together.

great sport it is .the value of any rabbit run caught or missed by the dog far outweighs not having as many rabbits in the end of day pic from using nets/ and the ferrets still get their work and the shovel dont get used much

But I agree, it's the sport of kings

 

100% agree .im not a running dog owner and never have been but its what started me off in all hunting field sports "i was invited to go out with a mate of a mate ferreting ,no nets just a whippet x ,i can remember that day's events 37 years back like it was this morning ! " its what gave me an interest in all working dogs and literally hours of enjoyment since with dogs THE OLDER I GET THE MORE I WANT TO GO BACK and enjoy the naturalness of this type of sport !there really is nothing like watching a dog work along side us , unfortunately now ive got the time to do it health is holding me back or its the way i would be heading .

Bolting is all about just getting the dogs the runs for me, if they get away they get away, if they get away down another set I leave that set for another day you know he's not going to bolt again when the dog's been hard on him and yes there could be more in the set but feck that digging if you can help it, that rabbit's another run for the dogs another day.

[Marsh Lad 321]

It's my favourite pastime but you do need the right land

 

[LOL 212]

Do it all the time now the land i have is great for it and there is something at the endof it for the dog.

I love this man dearly,...I realy do,...but, whenever I see one of his 'bolting rabbits for the dogs, with no nets' posts,..I am so envious, that invariably, I feel,... physically fecking sick

 

Inshalah,...one day soon,...we will catch a rabbit...

 

Whilst we were gazing down on the moor yesterday I said to Tomo " look at that massive patch of sedge down there,lets save that for when Phil has a trip up".
