artic 595 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi chaps, It was my turn to take out "HUNT 4 LIFE" for a days work out with my pup and his litter sister and mother. I love the cold weather, colder the better!! We set off and arrived at our destination for 0800hrs. A quick coffee with the guards and then to buisness. I have used this 15acres for training of the pups for years now, good warrens to ferret without the nets. Grass fed rabbbits, so nice and big they are too....... The rabbits didnt hang around and were bolting left right and centre! I will need to upgrade in my camera for action shots! Here is the first caught by HUNT4LIFE's pup: This is the second caught by my pup: Anyway, here's some pics of their catches Brother and sister Keen and waiting: Mum standing ready: Mine nearest to me, then sister, mum: On stand by: Finish result 17 rabbits. My pup on left, sister mum: Good day, all the dogs worked hard, Chris mind the holes!!! lol............ Quote Link to post

artic 595 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thats true NTMT, we do tend to forget to mention the ferrets, these amazing creatures do have a hard time deep down in those burrows. They bolted them fast yeterday morning, they worked very well. Quote Link to post
