Day Three

[Glen Loth 1]

This is my nine year old with her favourite of my two ferts, "Monster" the hob.

 

 

Putting him in,

 

 

VOILA!!!

 

 

The ferrets were fresher today but it was quite warm(about 30c) so I only did one set well after lunch.

 

The set, about a 45 holer

 

 

we kept these for the table(ours and a few mates, my freezer is now full)

 

 

Eventually I hope to do a post "a girl and her whippet"

 

 

cheers

The permission property is a few thousand acres and filthy with bunnies. There are many warrens well out of my league with my current crew. This one had well over two hundred holes.!! Even a long net would be hard.

 

 

 

There are gullies of continuous warrens, very hard to tell where one starts and ends, or if they do.

 

 

 

you would be a brave man to put you fert down without a collar

 

my jill

 

 

Having a ball!!

 

 

cheers

G,day Ian, yep we get all sorts of critters, some of the spiders are worse than some of the snakes but you grow up with em and you sort of learn to live with em. I do have a compression bandage(snake bite first aid) in my bag or glove box at all times. Main thing is no crocs here, they are the second most dangerous thing out(waves to mother -in-law)

It's great to see the young'uns getting interested in the sport,especially young girls! Do you have a market for rabbits over there or are people just fed up with them,and,do you get the Mixy over there.

atb...............Martin.

 

p.s. Can't wait for the Girl and her Whippet,cos I got a Whippet myself.

[Guest bigredbusa]

We have pro shooters who have mobile chillers, its illegal for unlicensed people to sell rabbits to butchers or the neighbours, etc, and they all have to be headshot. Yes we have myxy but its no longer effective to any degree, it will hit from time to time. They tried the callisi virus, but it was only mildly successful. The rabbit thing varies a lot. I lived on several large places(one 60,000 acres) a few hours north of my current location that didn,t have a single rabbit!!, but heaps of boar and foxes. The country changes a lot as you move about,

 

cheers

 

heres a bad pic of a much younger me with some dog caught boar and foxes from when I lived further north. You can just see the charlies hanging on the far rail between me and the coloured hog.

We start getting kittens here in late spring and autumn if we get rain. We have had the best season for 10 years, last year these paddocks were bare as, and we have had about 8 bad seasons in a row before this,

 

cheers

[Guest bigredbusa]

thanks for that

 

isnt that callisi virus more of a cat virus ? someone told me there was a similar man made virus to myxi that never got realeased over here but if it did it would wipe out % in no time .. scary if true

Lovely to see the little lass enjoying the events

[Glen Loth 1]

I forget the exact workings, but they released the callisi virus here a few years ago with mixed results, and immunity developed very quickly,

 

cheers

Yep, your sister is just up the road(about 280km)

 

Your right about the mornings, we have had 48 days in a row of minus 6c or worse during june/july/august but often 38c plus in summer!!!
