1st day ferreting on new perm

[big napper 3,601]

Got a new shooting and ferreting permission last week,  (a big overgrown garden and some paddocks) the day i got it i went on shooting with air rifle and got 3 rabbits, had a good look around and found some decent warrens in the garden, went ferreting this morning with my mate and his son, he took his 10 month old whippet x beddy pup and it worked great, its been out a few times before but today it marked up well and caught 5 out of the 11 rabbits, some good long runs and 2 in the scrub the rest in longnets and the purse nets, ferrets worked great in some really big warrens

We had the longnets all the way up the line of brambles on the paddocks side and in the garden had the purse nets

Big gardens or small acreages are my favourite places to ferret and are perfect spots for the little rabbit dogs to come into their own.Good on ya.Nice dog too mate.
