derbyshire lamping and ferreting

[foyrious 13]

ive moved into Chesterfield recently and need to know where all the bunnys are so i can attempt to gain some permission for dog and ferret work. im near wingerworth, clay cross, holmgate and surrounding areas. Please give me some tips about the area lads and lasses as ive looked around for miles and cant find anything, day or night.. im getting desperate now. Also would like any farmers to contact me about starting my jack russell on some rats. cheers all. steve 07526003516

Have you knocked on the farmers doors mate? Put some adds in countrystores, get beating to make contacts and just keep trying. We all struggle with getting permission, thats life unfortunately. My mate has some permission in Derbyshire that was crawling with rabbits but recently when we went for a night out, no rabbits on several hundred acres, bizare as the farmer hadn't found any bodies and we didn't see any signs of mixy. I also have some small permission in Derbyshire that is good for ferreting and lamping bunnies, you just need to keep trying, we have all been there.............

I don't mean to sound blunt but who in their right mind would tell you where the Rabbits are? They either have permission on their own land or if they do know where Rabbits are they are likely to be seeking permission themselfs, I also can't see farmers contacting you directly off here mate, Try tagging along with someone local and enjoy some sport that way

 

Good luck either way

I think you assume everyone thinks like you, which they DON'T.. I've been told by MANY experienced and very 'right minded' people over the years where decent hunting can be found, which is why i had plenty of permission and had the pleasure of hunting with some very good people and fine animals. I don't know many people in the area i've moved to, so will rely on those people you referred to as not being right in there mind to point me in the right direction, and best of luck to you and your secret peermission.. good hunting

Well lets just see how many 'right minded' folk on here tell you where the Rabbits are! I'm guessing not many at all will

like most places prob been lamped to death. You get alot of people start early,as lot dont like the (cold).?? Even if you have got permission, dont think there is only you useing it. .Its name of the game today, lurchers are very popular, and so is lamping. just take pot luck (any where) as most do on here and have a luck,

i know what you mean mate... i'm off back to derby itself tonight to lamp my permission. i moved up here to have more room for my dogs and more land to hunt on, but i'm having to go back home to find the bunny's, which is costing me some serious diesel... luckily someone gave me a nod in the right direction and ive got land a few miles from here which is okay just for bunnys... im sure ill have a good enough season, and i need one after having last year off due to a few problems.. you know how it is..

Plenty on the estates there though if your willing to risk it.

Best places is high peak bakewell area and further up towards edale never had permission up there when we used to lamp it we got good numbers 50s if you find the right places.

Getting ground for the dogs is hard i get ferreting rights most times i go out but pick my areas first if theres sets on the roadsides or dead rabbits on the road i stop and tour the area then ask at each farm if theres numbers you will usually get one that will let you on do a good job then when theyve got to know you then ill i ask about the dogs atb in getting somwhere to go

Dont mean to hijack the thread lads but can i just say that rabbits have become very scarce here in my part of Ireland.We ve seen a massive increase in mink and pine marten which may be a major problem!!!!!!Just wondering have ye got a problem with these pests???
