oyama 27 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Had my first ferretting trip on some new permission today.Started well 8 out of the first bury within half hour. I thought this will be a good mornings work. Went to the next bury and the rabbits were all sat in the field.Sent my terrier in to put them to ground, but they made a B line across an open field into a yard!Anyway netted up, ferrets in,bloody stoat shot out! It met my terrier,shame really as I like them.Did a few more buries and had total 17,not bad for a small outing. Quote Link to post
Brimmer 220 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Shame the stoat bought it, like the rascals myself. (just wish i had a tribe of the hand tamed rascals at my beck and call!) Quote Link to post

mattydski 560 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I was sighting in my .243 the other day at a rifle club that a freind (on here) is a member at. We were watching a stoat at 100m going in and out of the butt... Lucky little sod. Didn't bother him at all... We left him be,he was a gorgeous creature and he went about his business with savour... Bouncy wee thing..lol Quote Link to post

fireman 11,030 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Shame it met the dog,haven't seen one for a good while now myself,like to see the little critters as long as they leave some rabbits for me lol.Bet the dog stinks a bit?,took molly out ferreting the other day for the first time in a while,she did allright and marked up ok for me.She'll be coming out more in the future thats for sure,a first class dog in the making and quickly becoming the best terrier i've ever had.

oyama 27 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Unfortunatly my lurcher had one out of a bird nest this summer! We once ferreted a wood and a whole family bolted.To putting your hand down a rabbit hole,I once went to do it, changed my mind then a fox bolted.Lucky Quote Link to post
