ANTHONYCHEZ 27 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 After Saturdays bismal performance, I bullied the old feller into actually walking for once! (should'nt do it really he 70 yr old) but really needed to get on fresh ground rather than clearing odd's and ends up. The snow had gone (at last) and also looked a decent day, so we hit the ground as high as we go on our land! The top of the hill is where we were going, this is halfway up! Took only one of the young dogs, 3 ferrets, our dinner, and 'A LONGNET' nooooooooo! Took us a while to walk up there, had to keep stopping for the old feller, who found every excuse in the book to stop, usually the dog is marking there (which it was), this saw us not arrive at our chosen spot till 11am, with 6 rabbits taken from setting the devil net! The devil net only caught around three rabbits to be honest, it was set three times, at which point packed away, probably for the rest of the season, and got down to what we do best, killing machine ferrets, and the trusty blade! Things moved a lot swifter then, the dog catching anything that bolted, and the ferrets nailing most rabbits, and quickly tore out of the ground. This is ferreting for me. Had around 20 digs today, a few toughies, but nothing serious! Weather started coming in around 3pm, heavy mist, and the walk of a mile and a half back with a pile of rabbits made us realise that another day was needed up there. It was a hard slog back for us to be honest, I carried all the bunnies, whilst the old chap carried the ferrets, then he helped me out with the nets halfway down, he looked fooked to be honest, so I carried on swapping shoulders again every 100 yrds, finally we got back to the truck. Guess I was the least tired at the end of the day! 31 rabbits carried off on one strap ungutted. It's a long road, wish the old feller was a bit younger, we could have done better today, but not bad really! well do brimmer. what locator do you use mate? Quote Link to post

Brimmer 220 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 good stuff as ever brimmer, in all seriousness you could do with a quad bike brimmer. would be dead handy for the old man and could carry all your gear and catch. love those dales mate Cheers Tomo We've talked about for years, and only in the last few weeks my old mans dealing one up of a farmer he does the moles for. It will make life a lot easier mate. It's just the secure place to keep it, I need to get a shipping container at my mates farm which will cost maybee 500 quid, then I need to build a trailer which can carry the quad there, and then be towed on the land. Probs cost us another 300 quid to make. It's the only way i'll get him up there again! Quote Link to post
