stubby 175 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 had invited richie,ferreter216 and joed to a new permission of mine, but had woken throughout the night to pouring rain and high winds, a few telephone calls later proved everyone was still up for it, so we met up around 9am, by this time the rain had ceased and it looked a nice wintery day, the landowners made us coffee, then we had a wander around the place checking out the warrens, two straight boundary hedges about 100yds each and ideal longnetting, we netted up the first, and then it started....the rain was back we stuck 6 ferts down, and had 3 bolters that we caught, approx 4 ran the length, and as we had'ent put stop nets in, made there escape, plus definatly had a few kills underground by richies "ted", but with the weather the way it was, we were in no mood for digging, we had a quick break of jaffa cakes from richie, then netted up the 2nd boundary, again quite a few kills underground, but only one bolter, at this point the nieghbouring farmer show'd his face, and after a quite chat, said he was quite happy for us to be on his land that the boundary divided, gave us his number for future visits, just to let him know we are there, niether myself or richie took any pictures, it was just too wet to contemplate getting the cameras out, but even though it rained, it was good to be out, lovely area of land, and in good company, thanks guys, Quote Link to post
