nothing wrong with ferreting this time of year mate, I do it anytime a permission ask's

 

also nothing you can do to stop killing underground, my best hob does it all the time, are you using a locator?

 

reason being, put fert down, keep locator on, and track ferret underground, if it stays in one place for longer than a couple of minutes, I mark the spot with a stick, once he's up, and any netted rabbits are dealt with, I then go back to the marks and start digging, this can sometimes add 3 to 4 rabbits to the bag

Same as stubby get a locator ,ferrets stick at a spot for five minutes spade comes into play the last couple of years dug out rabbits have made a big part of the bag

cheers lads i havent got a locator yet still looking and debating mk1 or mk3m? only put her down 3-4 holers and that is a great idea about the sticks as markers
