TOMO 26,774 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 i have also done it on pest control jobs in loft spaces,, with 2 people, it can save repeated visits to a property to empty traps, you can get a hole family in one go.. one man inside the loft, with the ferret on a line,,,, second man outside the house with air rifle,, shooting squirrels as they bolt on to the roof tops,,, provided the man outside is a good quik acurate shot it works a treat. 2 Quote Link to post

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 ideation are you being serious or taking the mick yourself? genuine question Mate he's being serious thats me and my dog on the pic.........I do a lot of squirreling with the ferts, not all ferrets will do them though. I ferret the holes but climb the trees and poke the dreys and my mate shoots them with the 177. Once had 7 out of that tree in the pic. 3 Quote Link to post
