Guest Magwitch Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) I had the day off work today to do a bit of ferreting as the farmer is getting a fair bit of damage to his apple tree's, he asked us to ferret a hedgerow behind the house and we obliged. The weather held off most of the day just some drizzle and a strong wind but bearable all the same. We unfortunately bolted a couple of youguns which takes the shine off the ferreting for me but still a enjoyable day. The bottom row of rabbits are what the farmer had shot a couple of nights previous he told us that he had shot + with the rimmy so we picked a few up for ferret food. We are out again tomorrow for a few more Edited January 18, 2008 by Magwitch Quote Link to post

Guest Magwitch Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) There's probably about 200+ arces of plums apples pears and cherries plus a large set aside field on this farm and we do the neigbouring farm which is another 100+ acres of orchard i should imagine, both are overrun with rabbits.
