Paid Ferreting

[Cameron Burns 1]

ok so heres how it happened:

 

a couple of weeks ago i was out with my ferrets just for a look about (nothing serious) just checking a coupleof burrows and i noticed a couple of burrows in an adjoining site, they looked active so i went to inquire, no the site in question was a mine rescue training centre and the rabbits were actually digging on top of the training tunnels. Anyway i went inside sporting camos and wellies, and spoke to a secreatary who went and spoke to a guy named dale who took me into a board room with the head boss and i had to exxplain ferreting and my intentions, now ihad went inhere thinking the health and safety would by too risky reply but instead the guy started telling me how much of a nuisance the rabbits were as they were digging up the ornamental gardens and even though when i first said i didnt want paid for it he still offered me £30 to get rid of his rabbits,i got a tour and got to work, taking 5 rabbits that day in half as many hours including recon time on the burrows. i was totally shocked at getting paid for it, the only bummer is i cant go until september, as they made it clear no digging or shooting. damn the baby bunnies. pics will be posted later

I no I use to find it hard to belive that I could get paid for ferretting but my list of paying clients is growing year on year .

I performed ferretting on 3 estates all paying good money egnough to pay my way from november to febuary.

The thing is with the cost of wheat/barley reaching new heights rabbits can do alot of damaged in pound notes the farmers cant ingnore the damage like they use to.

And to perform effective reducation of rabbits its a full time job which in turn they have to pay for.

As most user of ferrets do it soley as a hobbie on weekends which catching 30 rabbits a weekend it never going reduce the numbers .

So full time pro pest services are needed I charge £500 a week for my services and that cheap in our area one company charges £2000 a week for there services.

my mate is a greenkeeper on a golf course on a large estate owned by a university where its a big no no shooting traping ect ,after months of moaning it finaly went to the top dogs who decided to ask the pest control co who do there wasps about the cost of controlling the bunnys after ruling out gasing shooting ect they went with ferreting ,the guy submited a quote of 10k for 1 monthly visit of 5 days for 2 men over 10 months which got knocked back presumably on cost at this point my mate offered the same service free of charge . the email he got back said ok but we needed to relocate the rabbits lol and provide written permisions from the landowners we released on and also video evidence of the release . sort of defeats the purpose lol so its not to be , although some may be lucky to get paid theres always the antis out there who are keeping the stocks up

if your good at something then you can from time to time get paid for it but they are one offs norm . i have paid too ferret ,shoot shotgun , and 22rf and i have been paid for ratting more times than ever this year at £50 per terrier per day by a breeder of gamebirds and next year looks the same but all the ferreting and shooting will be free

the big boss man loves too see the terriers at work at rats .
