    on fence wires (cant do it up here anymore) i used to put a cable tie on the top of fence above the wire as a marker its discrete cheap easy to remove and you can carry hundreds at no extra weight or bulk

    great advice i recently started using long nets for ferreting and there a superb addition to the equipment. gat some shorter nets rather than one big long one though more versatile that way!! enjoy cheers P

    i have perm up in north of scotland in highlands and fairly high up. ther was massive population of bunnies we were hitting them hard all year with shooting trapping snaring ferreting and the winters were very hard on them tto and the bunnies are still there but nothing like the numbers and they have not returned to big numbers since.

    You'd have more success with snares mate and considerably cheaper.. Certainly an option mate, any where in particular recommended for snares? Cheers please remember that in scotland the rules for snaring are different.......... must do a course for snaring get a unique number from your local plod and have every snare with a tag showing your number! if caught snaring without this ............................... not only are you in trouble but also arming the antis with more ammo to fire at us!!!

    i combination feed mine....... dry stuff when i aint got any carcasses and sometimes a wee bit of both........... but as stated already they guzzle water when on the dry stuff.

    every year at birthday and christmass my mum would ask "what would you like for a gift" .................. "ferrets mum" "no chance son"................ "well waders then please" "sorry son but not them either" this went on for years.............. until i left home and set up with what was at the time my girlfriend.............. she also was very clear that ferrets were not an option.................... so when we split up 3 years ago my sister went out and obtained me a couple of sinkers................ i was 37 by then!!! been happily bolting to nets since then..................... new gi

    we were clearing an area hat had been tree planted and rabbit netted all round (no dog at this time). we back filled them all until there was no sign. also did it on massive sets as we went but just so we never had to net so many holes. cheers P

    a guy at my main permission gave me a 1/8th sized bunny the other day for the ferrets that his dog caught............ so will be a fair few weeks yet before i get them under ground! cheers Peeps

    hi i worked a marlin semi for years and loved it!! very accurate and reliably so long as it was kept clean. as soon as it got gummed up it started to miss feed. the only greavance i had with it was that it only took high velocity ammo and would not cycle subs............ but it was built for HV's........... and would work just about anything i put through it. killed thousands of bunnies with it! cheers Peeps

    hi guys, interesting thread! but i think its worth mentioning that the laws are different around the country. Scotland has its own rules around snaring. you need to complete a coarse, get a number issued from police, have a tag on every snare with your number and there is NO fence snaring permitted. cheers Peter
