stealthy1 3,964 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Now then, last week I was on a week of nightshifts, half way through the second day, I woke up and just could not get back to sleep, so I thought I would take the ferrets out for a couple of hours and get them something to eat, the place I chose to work them on is a medium sized hedge surrounded by four big fields owned by four different landowners, one of which I have permission from, all four land owners drink in our local pub, the Ferret and Pursenet ( The Poacher). There's always rabbits in this hedge, handy for a short stint. I only took twenty nets and proceeded to lay them out, anyway, my jill Anika was put in, and promptly bolted one nice rabbit, then all went quiet. Out with the MK3m which pinpointed at two and a half foot, quick dig, out came rabbit number two. Then I heard a landrover door slam shut at the gate where I park my car, it was one of the other landowners, he walked up and said aye up lad! how many you got, just two I said, took them off your side of the hedge I said with a smile, thats good he replied, I'll get you a beer when I see you down at the pub, and after a short chat off he went. I sat down and had a minute, as you do. Five minutes later a van door slammed shut at the gate, it was one of the other land owners. Have you caught any he said, only two I replied, from your end of the hedge as it happens, well done he said, I'll get you a beer when I next see you at the pub, Cheers I said,we passed the time of day and off he went. So I decided to pack up and go home to bed. I just got packed up when the land owner I have the permission from stroled up, I'm on to a winner here I thought. He also asked if I was doing any good, to which I replied, only two, taken from your side of the hedge. Thats funny he said, you should have six then! Rumbled! We had a good laugh about it. Anyway, finished the day with two rabbits and three pints of Stella Artois, and hence the new name for the hedge, as coined by the landowners at the pub. Quote Link to post
