Making a start on the 20/21 rabbiting season

[Terry Ermann 994]

It's good to be out even if the cover is still up and it is still quite mild nothing beats being out with a dog, a box of ferrets and a flask full of coffee 

The young pup is coming on well and is benefiting from a bit of one on one time as her mother is currently in the sick bay.

Roll on those crisp frosty mornings, happy hunting.

Good luck mate for the season  miss a good mornings ferreting. round here don’t warrant owning ferrets no more it’s a lot of time waisted for not hardly any If any return I shifted my stinkers on a couple of seasons ago pretty gutted because I’d had the strain for years just stick to a bit of lamping now days but not as dedicated to that as I once was rabbit numbers are real thin here I can see the type of dog I keep changing to more terrier blooded with size due to lack of rabbits

How’s she bred Terry

@poxon thanks pal, lots of areas are void of rabbits at the minute there are little pockets about. I’m quite lucky around here there is enough to keep me busy and the freezer stocked.

@Daniel cain sorry to hear that, all the best for Sunday.

@Flacko I have her Dam she is a Collie/Kelpie X Grew and I put a Grew over her to produce this one.

Thank you, I will be happy if I get a brace for ferret food

Tell me about it terry we got pockets it’s 2s or 3s it’s a long old slog to get the dog’s enough runs round here but I’m sure the numbers will recover at some point my young bitch keeps finding dead rabbits in cover I recon that vhd virus is active round here again

the first pic I thought had been shot but sat in the hedge line it was a magpie that had the eye out

Pups looking well mate nice to see her, how's her mother doing she's getting on a bit now

[Terry Ermann 994]

Hey there @Night Walker hope all is good with you. 

Mother’s been better, she’s fit and raring to go certainly not showing any signs of slowing up but she’s on box rest at the minute tore a big strip out of herself on barbed wire, thankfully it’s just skin and is healing nicely unlike my wallet after being in the vets
