JoeD 24 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I would never pay to go on a ferreting day as there are so many decent people out there that wouldn't mind showing you how it is done for free. I stumbled across this on the internet http://www.pakefieldferrets.co.uk/Ferreting%20Days.htm He is asking £60 for a 9am - 3pm day depending on light and weather. If I was ever charging people to ferret which I wouldn't I would charge £10-£15 tops. I just find this ridiculous and I would count it as theft. Rant over, JoeD Quote Link to post
Room101 1 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I wouldnt go on a ferreting day with twitchy simon shithead for free nevermind paid Quote Link to post
dj.chapman 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 seems wrong when it costs him nothing, for that price i would want to keep the ferrets and the rabbits caught. what a con Quote Link to post
The one 8,493 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Dont think i'd pay either had boys out and as there giving you a hand it's a freebie and i half the bag Quote Link to post
Halfinch 51 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Great business sense I'd say, Most people on here wouldn't pay because by simply being on this site they can probably get someone to take them for free, But if someone is willing to pay 60 notes for a day out good luck to them. And every time i go out from now on i'll think i have saved myself £60 Quote Link to post
mattydski 560 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 No....I would never pay to ferret. Happy to take peole out free of charge in my area. Prefer to share and get returned outings back. Adds much to the variety in life. Quote Link to post
jenksi87 3 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 if someone could guarantee me a very good days sport and a bootfull of rabbits to take home i wouldnt mind laying out a few quid. £60 is taking the piss though. £20 maximum and thats with at least 20 to take home Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Fair play to the fellah if he can get an earner in these hard old times Unfortunatly,..it's the complete opposite with my crew,..we generaly have to pay guys to fecking come out ferreting with us Each to their own,.eh... The trouble is,..you just cannot get reliable Staff these days.... i am busy working out the cost of breakfast lunch and dinner for the season ... you best take a loan out .............

maphunter 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 personally i wouldn,t pay for a days ferreting,but i suppose thats easy to say when youve got your own permission,just think back when we had none we may have had thought differently,obviously the guy thinks hes seen a gap in the market...

ferret1 6 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) £60 for a days ferreting . I dont know why people pay that sort of money for a day out. I bet he charges the land owner to clear the rabbits and then charge the person to go out with him the blokes a joke. I have taken alot of new comers to ferreting out to show them the ropes and i have never charged them anything i just enjoy teaching people and getting the youngsters into country sports as they are the future of what we all do.

Im very cheap a fried brekkie and a flask of tea and a packet of fags I dont dig !! but I dont mind carrying a few rabbits and I pay me own bus fare Quote Link to post
jazz_11 5 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 if it was a countrymans weekend where you pay like 300 quid odd for all the weekend and one of the days are ferreting i would happily pay the money depending on the other days if they were pigeon shooting and deer stalking as down by me we dont get very big bags so if you go on a countrymans weekend in somewhere like the new forest then the rabbit numbers are huge... depends which way you do it.. i would not pay 60 quid for a single days ferretin personally.. thats just my opinion...

max abell 196 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Never on your nelly would i pay someone to take me ferreting And £60 is a fu**ing joke Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I suppose it will appeal to the proffesional type of people like your doctors and bankmanagers it will give them something to talk over at the next dinner party.[bANNED TEXT] i used to do a bit of ferreting for the yorkshire falconry club i kept most of the rabbits caught then a few of their members wer known for being shovel shy.So good luck to the geezer cos i cant see many ordinary working lads paying it.atb Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,456 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 cant see a problem myself. and to be honest i thought about doing the same myself right £40 for two lads on top rabbiting grounds. 30 -60 a day. who,s up for it Quote Link to post
