No i was not thinking about importing any ferrets. I don't even know if ferreting will work out that well here due to the difference in their need for burrow as compared to your part of the country. I don't know what the terran is like where alot of people in your area hunt rabbits is like nor how cold it gets in the winter there but it may be a little more harsh than here. I have seen several burrows while out hunting but nothing like what i saw in the you tube video's. So i am not sure how well it will work out here because i am guessing a big percentage of the rabbits here don't u

rob190364 that sounds like a bargin to me !!! When do you want to trade ?!!!! The one, poison snakes and other things are something that i will keep in mind if i do get to give this a try. Which i think might be a possibility. I finally got an answer from the Arkansas game & fish today and they said yes i could use ferrets to hunt rabbits this fall. They sort of laughed about it at first which everyone that i have mentioned it to has simply because it is a new concept to them. People do pratice the sport of falcontry here but not that many that i am a ware of. I don't know just ho

As some of you suggested, " you tube" is worth a thousand words. I tried to pull up ferreting and look on you tube the other night after rob19064 had reccomended it to me but the videos that i selected would not open up for me. So i done it again this evening and i did get a couple to open. And it was very interesting. I had never heard or seen anything like that before. I did some research as to the legality of ferreting here in the U. S. and did not find anything saying it was illegal nor anything saying it was legal either. So i called the local game & fish department this after

Thank you all very much for your help. I don't know if it is or isn't legal to hunt rabbits with a ferret here in the U. S. but i am going to check with my local game warden the next time i see him and if it is I think i am going to give it a try. That sounds very interesting. I have never heard of hunting rabbits with ferrets before and i would bet there would be very few if any others here in the U. S. who have heard or have hunted rabbits with ferrets either. Most rabbit hunters here in the U. S. use dogs perferribly begals to jump the rabbits and then shoot them when they get a

I have been reading through the archive's tring to learn more about the art of ferreting and i know it is a little aggraveting for some of you who know how to hunt with ferrets to be bothered with alot of dumb questions. But i have never heard of useing ferrets to hunt with before now. Since it is sort of common knowledge for most of you here most of what i find in the archives or previouse threads is information on maintance & care of the ferrets. I know if i keep researching i will eventually figure out how you use ferrets to hunt with. But rather than reading through alot of pa

Hi I am a new member here and have just recently heard about the hunting life forum. I have been an avid outdoorsman/hunter all of my life. I am 51 years old and have not had the time to do as much hunting & fishing as i would have like to have done in the last several years but i am hoping to find more time to hunt & fish in the future. When i was about 6 years old i use to go with my older brother to run his rabbit traps. I really like eating wild rabbit and plan on tring to learn how to trap them myself this fall. And i am hoping to learn how to do that by researching the
