Phantom 631 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Thats why shooting them in that situation isn't really efficient pest control, if you ferreted it through however and then filled all of the holes and THEN sat out that night with a lamp and air gun and moped up any survivors. . . . . might be a different story. The Church won't allow Ferreting or Snares. I'd had the warrens filled in a couple of times but they still keep diggin and repopulating. I'd suggest Concrete but they wont pour it down into the graves. Still it keeps me occupied Phantom Quote Link to post

Its to do with digging your ferrets out when they have killed in a stopend, would'nt want any zombies to escape Quote Link to post

Out of interest what's the issue with ferrets, some church yards seem to think its a great idea and some a terrible one. Thats true They used to have a guy ferreting years ago, but the new vicar is somewhat of a bunny hugger! I bypassed her and went to the archdeacon and he told her to put it up for the council vote. Most people were against me shooting them saying it was cruel A few then suggested that ferrets be used again instead and one of the council members pointed out that a pellet in the brain would be more "Humane" than having a ferret rip the rabbits to pieces while they were alive They all agreed that the damage being caused was becoming so severe that it was only a matter of time before the rest of the cemetery was going to begin collapsing with more headstones falling over and if one were to injur someone they would be in real trouble. So the vote was carried but only by a small margin. I had to keep tabs and report the numbers for three months and they would then decide wether or not to allow me to continue. I quearied it at the end of the trial and was told to continue until I heard differently So here I am 8 months later, still knocking em over left right and centre. Even if I managed to wipe out every one in the cemy, the adjacent property and the paddock, I'd still have them moving in from the surrounding fields. Like you say, set for life Phantom Quote Link to post
