Haven't posted for a long while on here but I'm really interested to find out what your local Rabbit population is like at the mo and previous seasons .. I've been ferreting for 30 years now and have currently got permission on 10 farms, 2 estates and a few odd jobs like horse paddocks/small holdings in the North Wales and Cheshire area's. Numbers on ALL of the said permission is as low as I ever remember. I feel I'm more of a conservationist nowadays and rarely use nets, preferring to bolt to the dog. My rimfire hasn't been out the cabinet in god knows how long. Some of these plac

Have you still got that collar mate? I did send you a pm. Cheers

Cheers lads. @Richynkelly.. I'll message you if I've not sorted one by then.

Only got the 8ft caps on there as far as I can see? Anyone on here got a spare?

As above.. does anyone have any for sale or know where I can get some spares. Cheers

Rabbit walks into a bar and sits down. Landlord comes over and asks "what can I do you for?" I'll have a pint of lager and a cheese toastie please. Drinks his pint, eats his toastie and buggers off. Second night, the rabbit walks in and orders a pint and a cheese and ham toastie. Drinks his pint, eats his toastie and buggers off. Third night, he walks in orders a pint and cheese and onion toastie. Drinks his pint, eats his toastie and buggers off. The next night there's no sign of the rabbit at the pub. Landlord asks about to see if anyone knows anything.. A bloke says

Had a few hours out with a mate this morning. Just did one big warren that we've been waiting for the cover to die back on. It's 100 plus holes and some are nightmare to get near, so we put the long nets and few a few stop nets down with about pure nets. Only had 4 working ferrets with us and a few young uns but it was a quick start with a few bolting from unseen holes in the cover and they then proceeded to exit via THE only spot we couldn't get a net.. It was steady then as we moved down the sett with the ferrets. Finished with 10, dogs picked a couple up and the rest in the

Especially when he gets his old man to drop him off there with his mate and it's 25 miles from where he lives! You live and learn...

Alright lads, well my usual hunting partners don't want to go as often as they used to, so I'm looking for someone local ish to the Wirral/North Wales who's available on mainly Sundays to tag along. Got a fair bit of permission for ferreting and the dogs but also do a bit with the shotguns and lamping with the rimfire. But ferreting and dog work comes first for me. Preferably looking for someone who can offer days on their land now and then as a change of scenery. Bringing a young lurcher on this year so be nice to get her out with an experienced dog. I took a lad out off her

Alright lads. As above, has anyone got any kits for sale around the above areas? Cheers.

Had a steady morning out up in the hills with a mate of mine. All hedgerow warrens, full of the usual suspects..blackthorn, Hawthorne and holly! Long nets and stop nets where the order of the day, with the odd purse net dotted about. One of us each side of the hedge and both whippets working the hedge as they pleased. My young whippets still learning the ways of the long net and followed a few coneys into it like a steam train..but it's all good experience! Finished the day on 12 one of which was a mixy. Not bad numbers for that neck of the woods. Couple of shallow digs and full of tho

That's my pride and joy!

Thanks for the comments. We're lucky that we can drive on most of our permissions. Makes life a lot easier. It's the chap in the backgrounds landy, spent a few quid on it as you can see. Just had mine resprayed myself but im scared to scratch it now !

Hi mate, seem like marmite on here but I've put thousands of subs through mine, different makes etc and it hasn't missed a beat. Shoot as many as my mate does with his cz. I'd say the cz is slightly more accurate but I don't miss many! I've had a few mods done, trigger a must in my book. Not everyones cup of tea but they've sold millions for a reason. My 2pence worth.

We hada couple of hours out with the rimmy the other evening, finished up with 16 but these pics where took before we had finished. Just shooting out the landy window, was easy pickings but only wanted to take a few as its good ferreting land but the farmer was onto us saying there's loads about so we had to show face. Lucky enough to pick up 5 more farms this summer and there's loads around up here this year.They all want me out now.. not a summer hunter but rather me than someone else. Is good fun bunny bashing with the rimmy though! B&W

Thanks for the replies. I never thought about it like that Deker. An Fac is an Fac , it says nothing about any differences in other counties. I'll crack on. Thanks again .
-
Cheers Dan, lands already been cleared as the farmer shoots a 22-250 on there. I'm still on a closed ticket for another year or so. Best watch what I'm shooting then... Just really pi**es me off how all forces are different. They cause themselves headaches, surely it would make more sense being the same across the board. Cheers.

Alright lads, My .17hmr is cleared for Fox on my ticket which was issued by Cheshire police. When I drop over the border into North Wales, who I'm told don't allow 17hmr on Fox, am I still ok to take them? I don't want to open up another can of worms with regard to the 17hmr on Fox but we do come across them when out lamping and I personally think it's an adequate round at short range anyway, I've never had a runner at the ranges I shoot. Thanks in advance.

Good little spades, mrs bought me a replacement last Christmas but bought me on with the MYD handle? Think that's right.. Anyway, get the solid T handle instead as I've had to repair this one already. Anyone know if you can get a replacement T handle? Just a matter of time before this one goes again I reckon..
-
Yeah, my application only asked how much I wanted to have in my possession. It's on its way now anyway. Put down a 1000 rounds, see what I'm told at interview. Anyone applied for an FAC with Cheshire recently? Atb

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Thanks for the reply cragman.

Cheers pal.

So, I only need to list one permission on my written application? And then show written copies of other permission at interview? I know all my permissions are passed for larger cal than rimfire. Cheers for the help.

I'm in the process of applying for my fac but have a few questions about the process. Firstly, I have added a land owner on my application with all his details etc and know this land has been passed for a rimmy, which is what I'm applying for. The thing is, I have loads of other land I'll be needing to use the rimmy on also. So am I expected to list every piece of land I could potentially be shooting on? If so I'll definately need more paper! Secondly, is it possible to apply for an open ticket straight off? I've been a shotgun holder for years and have years of experience shooting ri
