got up this morning at 8am and got the ferrets ready and set of with bow and flynn for the 6 mile walk to the first of the days warrens.

i had decided that i would be best to do the warren beside the greyhound training gallop. so i arrived and entered the ferrets. a few minutes passed and a white van pulled up, it was greyhound trainers. who generally are ok people.

so he started by hurling insults over the fence to me at the tune of " im (&)ing paying for this what the are you paying for?,
take them dogs away from here!"

so i held my dogs back while 2 rabbits bolted while this was running his greyhounds up and down the track. as he left i was greeted with a archers salute which i returned

so few minutes passed and another van turned up this time it sat off and watched i thought to myself owh fuk here it comes. but it was the training ground owner who came over and i explained i was ther first and the ferrets were entered, i also told him that i kept my dogs on the lead while that was running his dogs.

so by this time ther was no sign of the ferret and i got on to locating them first ferret was 8ft in a warren i was assured was only 5ft in its deepest place so i set about the dig. and while i was digging one of the ferrets walked out other one remained in the same place after what seemed like ages i was in with a rabbit out of a hole just beside me, flynn and bow in pursuit but unfortunatly i hadn't got the camera to hand

ferret moved on and i couldnt get a reading for a few minutes. finnaly got it pin pointed at 6ft and thought to myself i dont think i can manage this one by this stage it was getting on 1pm and i hadn't left the first warren.

but set about it anyway and it took me an hour to dig this to find the ferret with a rabbit. as i was climbing back out of the hole my back was giving me major shite so thought id best ring for a lift home. only part of the day that went to plan this was

so returned home with 1 rabbit
