we normaly start very end of august what with the rabbits breeding as early as december if we didn't start then we would never get round it all

but in saying that as i am wrighting this we are awaiting the others to turn up because we have got a rabbiting job on today hopefully stick some pics

up later not the ideal time of year what with the nettles etc but we don't get the weather seasons like we used to so ferreting only when there is a r in the

month doesn't happen anymore else you would be ferreting in march/april etc and constantly digging your ferrets out

I do know what your dad is saying though cos thats how things used to be when i started 33 yrs ago but the climet has changed and we have to change with it

i think we would all prefer to go when the weather turns colder but a lot of landowners want em off all year round,in a perfect world i start at the begining of october...

normally september but have to go out in the summer time to do a bit to keep the permission iv got.

I will be starting 1st September. But it won't really get to feel like 'proper' ferreting until we get a couple of frosts. Have done a bit when needed over summer, but only as a last resort, as it's often the least effective (for most work) method at this time of year.

Never really stopped you can do horse paddocks any month of the year , you only have to wait on the cover dying back on arable farms really

To be fair i am going NO WHERE near a hedgerow with a purse net for another month or two, unless johnnyboy has been at it with the lopers first.

 

Stop nets and dogs.
