sundays ferreting Feb 21st, 2010, 6:52pm sundays ferreting. me buck bucks son and brother in law set of for a days ferreting it was a cold frosty start that soon turned to snowy rain not the best of days. we decided to ferret a big long hedge that a farmer has been pestering me to do for a while i have seen a lot off rabbits along this hedge when ive been out lamping so i thought we should be in for a good day apart from the bramble we had to contend with . all went well but we had a fair bit of digging as thay were not bolting that well . all in all we ended up with 24 good clean

hello ferrets can start behaveing like this if you rush or try to grab at them when thay come to the mouth off a whole you should pick up the ferret slowly and calmly many ferrets get this problem when people are lunging a them whch makes them reluctant to come out i have bought many ferrets over the years that work fine and are very tame but have the same problem as yours due to being messed up by the learner ferreters grabbing at them . as for intiseing the ferret out with a rabbit it will work for a while but the ferret soon comes wise to this and in my opinion only makes it worse wh

why dont ya smoke em out with a strimmer engine and have no worries about your ferrets

its a big un

why dont you go and have a look theres nothing like seeing it first hand

nice catch keep um comeing

nice catch of 24 there good to see the big numbers 24 rabbits can cause a lot of damage to the farmers crops keep it up

well done looks like you had a great day keep the good work up

try going out with someone else whos not haveing your problems you may se things your doing wrong hope you get it sorted anyway

your right there triss you are the lanky one remind me not to get any pics done with you i look like a midget

Good point! Are you doing things right when the ferret is in the hole? You know, things like staying dead quiet, staying out of view of the holes, not smoking, not walking round etc. No disrespect intended though! good advice maltenby keep quiet dont talk while netting up stay out of view of the holes the more noise you make above ground the more reluctant thay are to bolt as for the hob i think thay can lay up more because off there size thay can hold rabbit much easier than a small jill but i have had small jills that lay up just as much as a big hob keep up the good work

been ferreting every week saturdays and sundays for the last 2 / 12 months catching 25 rabbits on average each day and have not seen any young till this sunday i dont think thay are breeding all year round but thay are definatly breeding much sooner it our milder winters now days south east
