Tank2013 3 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hi all I'm new to the site and to ferreting in fact it will be my first outing at the weekend but I have high hopes as I've found a perfect spot with at least a dozen warrens all in use and I still haven't looked around the whole place yet. I will post again after I've been and let you know how I've got on and hopefully have some good pics aswell, wish me luck! Quote Link to post

Tank2013 3 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 thanks lads went out this morning and dont know what im doing wrong but drew a blank, netted all holes and know warrens are live as could see prints leading in and out of them in the snow aswell as fresh droppings and ferret went right through several times but no bolting rabbits tried for ages before switching to another warren but same again on every one only thing i can think of is rabbits were out in the fields. what do you lads think any advice would be appreciated!

AirgunGuy 362 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Its common to see fresh signs yet not be there. They may use them when out at night for safety if spooked but will use a larger main warren mostly...thats my theory anyway haha Quote Link to post
Tank2013 3 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 makes sense haha il have to find the bigger one then cheers Quote Link to post
