stealthy1 3,964 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) Woke this mornig to find it was sunny for a change, and with the end of the ferreting season looming I thought I would take the fezzers out for a trot in the countryside and make the best of what time I have to spare, I dont care if its day or only a couple of hours out, its just nice to watch the little beasties at work. This is the place I chose work today, its a an odd shaped field surrounded by mature woodland, the bank in the first pic is like that all the way around the field, easy to ferret if your short of time, or just need to top up the freezer. Anyway, nets down, in go the combatants, one hob and one jill. Its not long before you can hear the fezzers getting to work on those stubborn bunnies, and bang, and the first one hits the net. A quick re-net of the hole, and stand back and wait. Bang! another hits the net from the same hole, and by the jill again, this time she comes out to see where the bunnies gone. A quick stretch and number two joins his neighbour, had one more after that, bolted by the hob, final count three, ok for two hours out in the sun, still no young here, so still time to fit a couple of trips in yet. There is a few more pics, but cant get them to load, so thats it for this post. Cheers Stealthy1. Edited February 27, 2009 by stealthy1 Quote Link to post

I like these nets too, stand out when you pack up, saves leaving one behind. Quote Link to post
