well yesterday seen me on another cracking day out with Runningwhippets, I left my house at 7am to get to the lads house,
after a long jurney, got to the lads and we set out with 3 whiipets, 6 ferrets, couple of longnet and a few purse nets, when we got to the permission, there is a big set in brambles which is rabbit heaven, there must have been 20 rabbits sat out when we got there, we set the long nets up either side, and wacked in a few ferrets, the rabbits were bolting but never left the saftey of cover dispite the ferrets working well above and below ground.
once we got the ferrets out we moved on to another field where we seen a couple of rabbits sat out, the first one was inclose to the hedge so bow was slipped and sent down, that was nuber one in the bag, as we walked round back towards where we had seen the other rabbits all three dogs were loose and finn managed to pick that one up.
we moved to some new sets that havnt been ferretd before due to the amount of ground cover, but after a few frost the amount of warrens has become clear, we netted the first set up, and put in three ferrets, rabbits started to bolt and then one killed in so we had a dig, a nice little 4ft lol, that gave us 6 rabbits total in the bag.
we moved further up where we had anotrher 2 good warrens we netted up and entered the ferrets, rabbits bolted and the nubers were climbing, we were into double figurs with 10 in the bag, we had seen 2 foxes and a hare wich got up and sprinted the field when we were joined by a hunt.
the next set we did we set long nets up either side of the bank and rabbits where soon on the move but hole hopping, we let the ferrets kepp worrking and we soon had another five in the bag.
we dicided to do one last set whch was in a holy bush so agin we set the long nets up and entered to ferrets , this produded the final one for the day, this give us a good 16 rabbits, and had lost a few due to thick cover.
afters a re-fule and some rest for the dogs we took Tod and Bow out on the lamp, as the wind had been up with plenty of cloud perfect.
by the time we got to the permission there was no wind and no cloud but we gave it a try, Bow had a good run where on his way down the bean the rabbit disapered into the long grass at the hedge, as Bow got there the rabbit ran into the field and after a couple of turns it headed for us, Bow picked it up with a good strike about 5 yards from us, we mangaed to get Tod a run, but he was unluckey, we then got another run with both dogs and afters a tremeduse run it was caught.
heres some of the pics, the hare was shot and retrieved.
