mooster 1 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I nipped across the boder to Cornwall myself this morning for a spot of ferreting. This was against my better judgement as the weather forcast was for rain and high winds.But I was desperate to make the most of my day off! My nets were blowing in my hands by the time I started setting up.Gulls were screetching overhead in anticipation of the impending storm and even a storm cock came to sing above me in that melancholy way that they do. I fully expected a bad day and was ready to blame my impatience. Imagine my surprise when my little jill had bolted four rabbits by 11am from some of the most thorn covered hedges i had ever had the misfortune to net up. And all in very high winds along with sodden squelching ground underfoot. A great morning.......who says rabbits don't bolt in the wind?! Quote Link to post

mooster 1 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 A decent days ferreting is just like a decent days fishing in my book.ie outdoors in the fresh air piting my wits against nature. My best fishing trip was when i caught my first fish and my most memorable ferreting day was when my ferret bolted her first rabbit. Numbers are just a bonus. Quote Link to post
