Terriers first ferreting trip

[gaza 508]

Big 1 today and lucky to get the rabbit, jill killed to ground. Lesson learnt and collar batteries ordered. 1st time since was a kid stupidly going without them collared up. Just couldn’t quite reach the rabbit. Started to think before that if she’s not killed to ground does this little 3 holer link up to big warren further down I’d left. Public land forestry block full of dog walkers left spade in van and didn’t get there early, spur of the moment to go today. Ferret surfaced got back to van and drove round other side of the wood through a building site compound just to dig a rabbit. Security guy walking towards the van as was driving off. Just didn’t want to leave healthy rabbit there, even without the collar today if I wasn’t lazy and carried the spade could of had it and moved on, was only a shallow 3 holer. 

Not much of an education for the terrier wanted him see a few in the net so he twigs what it’s about instead of hunting up the entire wood . Good mark from him though and he’ll work any cover.

That terrier will be perfect with a bit of experience. You will have a great little team. Can't beat a terrier for ferreting. I couldn't have one around though because its badgervil
