[brown trout 1]

hi lads hows your ferrting been this season ,cos ours has been crap , to much rain not enough frost really had a shit en :{well in yorkshire anyway

[jamesmc 582]

i have always kept ferrets,and this year i ended up getting rid of them due to lack of work for them,weathers mental now

[Country Joe 1,411]

Im doing alright, four and five rabbits every time out, this would be crap for most, but i just use them to feed the Whippet and Ferts,

So this amount is enough for me.

last year on my permissions i could go out for for the day and could pull 30 if worked hard enough for it and was out most weekends as well as lamping during the week, this year iv maybe been out 6 times, only really had sport for the lurcher during the day but not enough to talk about, its a real bad state even after leaving a good stock last year the weathers just had its way with them

There seems to be pockets of rabbits across the country but numbers are pretty low all over this season. I went for a mouch yesterday, done 3 small burries - a 13 holer, 10, and a 5. Nothing at home in the two bigger ones and I got two small bucks out of the 5. I didnt know wether to feel hard done by or privileged. Theres a few still out there, just got to look in the places you used to turn your nose up at, and get used to the idea of smaller bags for more work.

exactly the same in south wales, pockets of rabbits here and there, but no decent numbers, iv heard though that weve got a freeze coming,so some good ferreting weather atleast,

[HIGHAM 47]

hope this cold snap will help out as iv just landed a decent bit of permission and need to get onto it asap for the farmer , heard alot of people havnt seen alot this season when others have seen lots , hope next season picks up and plenty of breeding gets done for the sport

[AndyKelly 251]

still seem to be pulling 25-30 when we get out, occasionally 13-15 but judging by what other people are saying i consider myself lucky that it sems not bad considering

[Guest vin]

I've still got too many to go at and not enough time. .. So have quite a few of my mates.

 

But I travel to get my sport. . .So does anyone these days who wants to keep up their game.

 

If I was local I would still be getting a few,But obviously the closer to town you live the more people are out there locally hammering everything that moves.

 

My fuel bills far outweigh my game bag..thats for sure.

Had a good few up here, been a good learning curve for the kits I bred last summer. Really getting there teeth into it, also the pup has been marking perfect. Couldn't be happier with our first proper season, apart from the pups injury a few weeks back its been decent enough. Cheers

well fingers crossed for a better season on rabbits next season. I think we have done more ratting than out else so it hasnt bee a complete loss
