Out last week had trouble pin-pointing the ferret when we got down the reason became clear a litter of cub rabbits the ferret was chasing and killing them Got 4 large rabbits 1 pregant Then another this week looks as if this is us finished for this season hopeful a lot of other folk that hunt the same ground will do the same give the wee burrgers a chance to build ther numbers up

Search back 12 months, you will find similar posts. Go back another year and it's the same.

Its about average here, in fact a little bit better than normal. I have only had pregnant does and no younguns yet and I am pretty far south. Previous years its been worse.....

I can remember going back nearly 50 years. It has always been the same, when I was a kid I was big into trout fishing. The season would end in September and we would start rabbiting straight away. Come the middle of January sometimes Febuary depending on the weather we would start to get pregnat doe's as soon as they showed up we stopped. and the fishing would start on the first of March.

 

Every year seems different, but only by a couple of weeks. The days are lengthening and all animals and birds minds turn to sex, wish my wifes would.

It a personal choice we normal ferret till the end of April then go on to other forums of hunting and we might have to use the spade a bit more but thats all part of the game

had a few pregas does last week will try some other ground this weekend then i think that could be it for me. unless i get a call for pest control rather than sport i stop around now but always get a few people ringing me in the middle of bloody summer but to be honest i usually just shoot a few then to keep em happy.
