ANY TIPS ON FERRETING

[Ideation 8,216]

Best single bit of advice is get a marking dog.

 

Ferreting without it is. . . . .crap!

 

But in the mean time, talk to Jamie m is he is local to you, he knows his shit

All the things i could recommend have been said... the only other thing is... take a thermos full of tea. a cup of tea can work wonders on a cold day

Yep ferreting with out a dog is hard as I am finding out.

I used to have a marking dog in my young days but now we have a pet cocker and can't have another dog so I am stuck doing it the hard way.

Did about 6 warrens Sunday all looked fresh but no joy and also using inexperienced ferrets so you start too doubt the ferrets as well.

I do plan too try our cocker but I aint hopeful he was yelping like a baby at the weekend when a bramble went across his nose so him diving into brambles too put rabbits too ground is a step or two away.
