Off out for a couple hours this afternoon.


Recommended Posts

Well after walking round some my permission last night i've decided i need get out with the ferrets today knock some numbers down , don't care what anyone says about seasons for ferreting , rabbiting etc... they are pests and on this particular piece of land i have control them all year round as it's mainly crop land , had the farmer on to me saying they all over eating the seedlings. So thought i'd pop down and see for myself , and it was like watership down they were everywere. So bag packed , dog and my little 410 at the ready , wish me luck . Will try get some pictures for you guys.

Thats fair enough mate,but you'll probably spend more time digging than you will getting through the setts. Could you not lamp it with dog or rifle or possibly longnetting after dark much better this time of year if you need them gone
