Ferreting with the professionals

[Jordan 1]

Id been invited out for a days ferreting with Philg from the site. We were ment to go out last season but never got round to it. The wait was worth it. We ferreted in comfort and drove right up to the burrows we were planning to ferret.

Just used longnets and the lurchers on the first few burrows. The dogs had some good runs and we missed a few.

Next burrow was underneath aload of fallen branches so just left the longnets where they were and had the dogs standing by. Philg can tell you the breeding of the lurchers better i know the collie x is from Mr hancock and the other is a kelpie x whippet x grey. Both very obediant dogs and very good rabbiters. Just a shame about your springer phil

Unfortunately we did end up with 2 digs and accounted for a rabbit on each of

them.

Next bury was in a small piece of woodland apparently it had produced good results last time so was hoping for one this time

We had bolted a couple from the last bury which ended up over here. So we knew at least 2 were at home. Netted up with the purse nets this time cover was quite high but managed to get all the holes. We accounted for the two we had seen bolt to the burrow there were other rabbits down there but they didnt want to play ball

Moved out of the woodland and back into the field. We walked along the outside of the wood and got a strong mark from the dogs and phil resulted in 1 easy rabbit.

Carried on along the edge of the field and found some nice burrows it was getting on we decided to just bolt for the dogs. Had to dig a couple from these burrows think we ended up with 4 or 5 from these.

Fair play mate you managed to get a picture of that fecking spaniel stood still!!! Really glad you enjoyed it mate it's so good to see our next generation of ferretters/lurcher men getting stuck in like you. Again I'll say sorry for insisting on you being the one to have the pleasure of pulling any rabbits out that were dug to but i just aint as nimble as you young uns. :11:

Your spaniel aint that bad phil you just need to teach him to respect the longnets

as for me pulling out all the rabbits i reckon your just scared that your ferrets might bite you Next time ill bring my ferrets and show you what real workers are like

how can you have real workers when your permision is the size of a postage stamp you plonker :11: . Them ferrets of yours are more like domestic cats the great fat things wouldn't fit in the average rabbit hole!!!!!! :11: :friends: only joking mate.

Your right about the permission though and ive lost a large piece of it now.
