Hard Ground

[Guest Keeps]

Theres been a few hard frosts these past few nights which has made the ground a little hard to risk the running dogs. So Indie had to stop at home today We decided to take the terriers out, they enjoy a bit of ferreting and especially bushing bunnies.

 

 

 

Setting the nets

 

Don’t know if it was because it was so cold but at first the rabbits didn’t really want to bolt, which called for a bit of digging, on some very stony ground

 

 

 

but eventually it paid off

a bit later on the rabbits started to bolt

 

 

 

 

Daisy made friends with the ferrets, she’s always been very dodgy with them but taking her out with them seemed to do the trick; this was only her 2nd time out

 

 

 

the terriers thoroughly enjoyed themselves bushing in the long grass & bracken, they followed a few to ground, which was very helpful

as always the light determined the end of the day; but a very enjoyable day it was

 

 

 

 

back to home comforts, a warm fire & a few minor distractions :11:

Great show of pics

We took one of the youngsters out with us yesterday, we took her out last week and she did very well; she bolted a few bunnies & looked very promising. Anyway, yesterday after coming out of one of the sets in the morning she looked a bit peaky, not at all her usual bright eyed self, so we put her back in the ferret box for the remainder of the day.

 

We found her dead today I don't know quite what happened to her yesterday but guess that she must have been kicked

 

RIP little Mocha

Quality pics mate, looks like you have a cracking team around you

[Guest wickidweasel]

Right shame with the young un would like to know the cause

[Guest diesel]

nice one mate as usual!!!! went out on friday my self got 19... so wasnt a bad do... [bANNED TEXT] are youre terriers like with rabbits in the nets do they reck the nets???

[Guest Keeps]

Me as well wickedweasel, don't suppose Ill ever find out though, there wasnt a mark on her. I think she'd been kicked, she seemed dazed drowsy & floppy but I didn't expect her to die.

 

Diesel the terriers are fine, they will hold the rabbits in the nets till you get to them, but they don't damage the nets, they learn to let go when you tell them to Im really pleased with the youngest plummer, I never thought she'd make it ferreting, shes never been very trustworthy with ferrets :11:

 

shes not much bigger than the bunnies
