Ah didn't know that would be great to have a lesson I live in West Wales, What is the best time to start Ferreting?is there a season as such? during which months is it best to leave the rabbits alone? ATB Jono

first time we've worked them don't know about before but the are rescue ferrets went straight down the holes no problem

Hello I went ferreting with my "expert" friend yesterday and came back with nothing. We went from 7am till 3pm netted 8 warrens and had nothing what are we doing wrong because surely we should have had 1 rabbit out of 8 warrens,shouldnt we? Please help never done this before absolutley inexperienced, and my "expert" friend couldn't decide which end to peg on the nets, so I am guessing he is as clueless as I am Jono

Hi has anyone ever made their own decoy's that work? To me hunting is about food, I only shoot what I can eat,so effectively food for free/nominal cost.I know a lot of hunters out there will go out and buy the latest kit and if you got the finances,why not? But hunting is an age old skill that shouldnt need a lot of money.so instead of blabbing on about costs anyone got any idea as to how to make cheap decoys.I had thought about making a salt dough/ clay pigeon mould and making shells off that with papier mache.but do any of you have a quicker or more effective method? ATB Jono :hmm

thanks to all for your help really appreciated ,hopefully they'll start laying soon Jono
