jhiggins 48 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Just got into ferreting this winter although ive had my two jills for about 2 years. I have only tried small warrens around the farm and have had no luck. I am sure that the rabbits are there becasue i often see them above ground, but when i net them up and put the ferret in they come up after about 3 minutes before disapearing and re-surficing soon after. This game goes on for about 10-15 minutes. I have tried picking them up each time they come and putting them into another hole but still no luck. Im sure i am doing something really wrong and would really appreciate any information on the sport in general. Many thanks Quote Link to post

jhiggins 48 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I had one that contained a rabbit 3 weeks ago but it went back down the hole and slipped out of the net. Other than that nothing yet Thanks Quote Link to post

auld salmon 28 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) just because they look used dosent mean that there home they could be lying out in the rough just be patient they will come good :victory:if you see rabbits entering the sets then you will now for sure , and will see if there working properly .if they are first timers they might take a while to realise what there mean to do Edited January 31, 2010 by auld salmon Quote Link to post
