Out with the big dogs

[Guest Keeps]

After reading a thread on here mansbestfriend put up about ferreting with his deer x I decided it was about time we took our old girl out ferreting for the first time. Now she’s no small dog, she measures 29†to the shoulder.

 

 

She took to it well but shes not one for standing around much

 

 

 

marking some burrows

& wandering around quite a bit doing her own thing

 

 

 

we set the nets and waited

Indie was his usual well-behaved self (most of the time :ph34r: ) We’d just decided nothing was happening in one of the sets and started pull the nets up when two bunnies bolted together, his reflexes were sharp though and he nailed one of them straight away I had my hands full of nets at the time :wacko:

 

 

It rained most of the day, so I didn’t manage to get many action shots

 

 

 

The ferreting was really slow :wacko: so we decided to call it a day, and make our way back to the car

 

 

on the way back Indie coursed and caught another, with the plummer not far behind him.. shes getting fitter again

 

 

 

 

 

Our deer x was OK ferreting, not the best I would have said :11: but then together with Indie she caught more in the fields than we got ferreting today :11:
