You can, but a lot of folk stop during summer to let the rabbits breed and also so they dont spend everytime digging to nests of kits or pregnant does that wont bolt. Also many of the sets are covered over with vegetation. I ferret September to March and only do it when its completely neccessary for pest control during the summer (and usually there is a better method - i.e - snares, dogs, gun)

 

Sorted.

You can ferret all year round if you have clear burrows and aren't worried about digging ,but theres easier ways to control rabbits during the summer

i usually dont but on one of my permissions theres open buries so i show my face with the dog. i dont use nets as i can never get the pegs in without my sailmakers palm.

If your doing it for pest control all year is fine, nothing wrong with killing pests. People dont think twice about putting poison or traps down for rats and mice and its just the same.

If your doing it for sport, wait while the rabbits are chewing tree bark then its time.
