    IMO you should deffinatly try to find out who owns the land, I have been ferreting some paddocks which have a ditch on some neighbouriong land which is stuffed full of coney. I went out today and I'd already looked on google maps to see if there were any buildings on the land As I was desperite to get in there. I drove out to the building that I saw on google and knocked on the door. it was answered by a man who turned out to be the owner of the small shoot which unbeknown to me boarders my permission. After a chat I walked away with permission to ferret the ditch (got ten bunnys [3 x Whippet

    If you need some help, then I am only 30 mins away in Southampton, If you seriously have too much on your hands then please PM me as I am not getting out enough this season as my patch has been hit bad with Myxi. Cheers Ludwig

    I've got one dog pup out of "Strike while the Irons hot" and a bitch called "loverly girl" who is also out of Mike Browns line but was owned by a guy from South Wales; I have found him a lot fun and to be honest He has taught himself to Jump fences and has picked up a few rabbits which is no mean feet when you take into consideration that they have all been day stalked as I don't lamp and use long nets when ferreting; although I wouldn't ever describe him as easily trainable like the Collie Cross I used to have, I have often thought that having come from what is arguablly a long line of workin

    Ditch shitter is spot on as often seems to be the case; I started ferreting a few years back on a grave yard which the rabbits had dug into the graves, I couldn't see any point in buying collars and a locator cause if a ferret didn't come up I couldn't dig (and if I did i would have probably been arrested for grave robbing ), it also seems a bit dumb to put a ferret down with an expensive peice of equipment if you can't dig to it. I have always advocated feeding the ferrets well before going ferreting Unless I am looking to dig in particulaly shallow burys. I should probably start a new to

    Hi Artemis, I until recently was a council pest controller for a council in the sunny south and I just want to say were not all as useless as is people think, What is the main problem with council PC is that they are sometimes lacking in what we in the hunting fraternity call feild craft, that paired with the fact that the pay is better in the private sector means that pest control can sometimes have a fast staff turn around so the council ends up losing anyone worth keeping to private industry. Also the fact that pest control is very close minded as an industry and seems IMO to ignor

    Depends on raw or dried food and the time of year; if it is cold then, raw rabbit/squirrel until they finish eating it (normally 2 days for 4 ferrets) but in the summer they are often on dried which I top up every evening, If I am working them then I always give them extra the day before as I find they lay up less on kills.

    what happens if your ferrets lie up? are you allowed to dig? On the Graveyard I work digging is not an option so i just wait until the Ferret comes up (never more than an hour and half) This has never caused me a problem; but a mate did try putting a hob down with a FF collar on (I can't see the point if you can't dig) and apparently he never came up, my guess is he caught the collar on something but he never worked out the exact location because something was giving false readings on the locator. I only started using FFinder last season and never had a problem with lie ups as I ju

    Got back from ferreting last Sunday and was challeneged by a neighbour who used to do a bit of rabbiting who started to tell me that in his day he only hunted in months with a R in it. This got me thinking; I hunt all year around and get out more often in the autumn,winter and early spring because the covers died back; but some of my permission is a council owned graveyard and they cut back the ground cover all year round so why not carry on through just to keep the ferrets and whippet in shape. i guess the subject of milky doe rabbits is relevent but this has never been of to much bo
