j davies 8 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 elo lads well im totally gutted today after the daily routine feed before we set off we got to the sets around 7.30 but hwen the light broke about 8ish we noticed 3 dead carcusses dotted around the land also a couple of dead woodies by the looks of it some prick had been out with an air rifle and a guess they werent the best shot in the world (well that was my thought) anyhow we cracked 1st set nothing so onto the 2nd a small 2 eyed set 1 large hole and a little bolter about 20 foot up the hill so in went the big fella and what a noise then nothing after about 10 mins got the locator out 3 foot so out with the spade ...we got about a foot into it when bang fromthe bolter shot the biggest buck ive seen this year it was my daughters 1st trip and she was straight at it and the smile on her face (i knew she had the bug) however my heart sank as the locator had not moved i was hopeing the collar hd come off in the fight but when i got down to him he just lay there gasping one of his eyes had popped the only decent thing i could do was put him out and send him to big warren in the sky...... ive only had him about 8 weeks but i guess the rabbit got a deadly kick in ... so i cut the day short and headed off home sorry to here that mate i really am. i got 3 ferrets and my misses hated them now she want let me feed them she does it all when i take them out ferreting im that scared in case some thing happens to them if i lost one i dont think i can go home she loves them Quote Link to post
