andy s410c 61 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Arrived at the bottom quarry for 9'ish gusty westerly wind & very overcast.I headed off to the new sets we found the other week at the nature reserve,only 3 small sets but close together.I netted them up in a oner & gave things time to settle.I took the 2 jills with me today as i only planned a mooch around sesh,anyway got nothing out of these 3 sets so i followed my instinct & decided to head to the top quarry to have a recce in the small wood which i shoot in the warmer months but have never ferretted I yomped up to the small wood & netted up a few small sets & a well used dozen or so holer with a old drainage pipe included,on the way round these sets i came across a pheasent carcase which something had enjoyed a munch on Nothing at home in ANY of these sets but i was still positive we would get a result,nets up & moved further into the wood. I netted up a well used 8 holer by this time it was approaching 1pm,nothing in the bag so i had a bite to eat & put the 2 jills in,the wind was getting strong so i couldn't hear a thing,result tho 3 in the bag. Feeling a lot happier i had a good mooch around the wood & did a couple of small sets but drew a blank.I called it a day as the rain was coming down the valley & the wind was getting worse.

stealthy1 3,964 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Nice one Andy, glad I'm not the only one struggling lately, I did a twelve holer and drew a blank, thought there would be a few in it, I only wound up with the three too. Quote Link to post

It is lovely weather all this week so i may get an hour in the morning around the farm on christmas day! i love to take the ferrets out on christmas, or borrow a shotgun and take the terrier out for an hour.
