Im looking forward to going, I usually always start in September, But its still very humid, A good tight frost would be good, but its a while off yet!

I live in Leicestershire ,as allways we have had dixi very bad down here,the rabbits are now scraping out theburrows for late litters,in fact ,all the doe rabbits i have caught recentlyare lined with small embryos,so the season wont properly start til late october if it stays mild

Still 4-6 weeks before i even think about putting a fert in a set...too much undergrowth,myxi ,working like a slave,apart from that life's grand

To much undergrowth and nettles here, I hate nettles, probably November here after a bit of frost, worst luck

im thinking of adding a strimmer to my ferreting kit but don't think the bunny's would be very cooperative after the racket lol

4 or 5 weeks yet mate...

 

cant wait.....

Still far to many fluffballs around even on the high ground, plus the flies are still out in force, and the high temps will knock the dogs off there legs. End of Sept at the earliest for me, (I'll make up for it though you can be sure!)

not properly, i just turn up, say hello and clear the undergrowth ready for a few weeks time :-)

maybe do a couple of 2 or 3 holers for the ferrets and let the rabbits bolt to get the dog in the swing of things.

Well I have a large shed to ferret under and 2 warrens on open fields and luckily for me the owner has cut most f the undergrowth near the hedgerow warrens, no myxi it seems around here and no babies.
