Ferreters Not The Most Chatty Folk

[Leigh Temple 2]

This has been an amusing read, but yeah noise is a sin when it comes to hunting you dont want to shout down some rabbit holes when your trying to flush em out

[Jamie m 668]

Yep noisy ferreters grrrrrrrr or the ones who don't put there phone on silent there the lowest of the low, on the phone to the missis every two minutes cos she's a crack pot : ) where are you what time you back etc etc , shouting for nets ,

My first hot topic thread lol !

[GreyRake 108]

Hahaha, theyve spent time quietly setting nets, not banging the ground or talking loudly so the rabbits are not scared to bolt and the ferrets dont kill in. Then.........

haha no not really pip although I used to do the bomb disposal dogs to, so I used to try not to move much either ! James I wish it was so easy where I live its becoming increasingly less rural pal and my contacts are all saying that mixy has ruined there spots!

mixy hit most places mate,my area looked promising ealrier in the year then mixy hit it but you can still get a few runs and they always bounce back.now most of my lamping is done out of town

next time it happens just obseve & when the lads /men are clearing nets up ferets safely away try & get a conversation going cos you never know you might hit lucky -me & my mate always liked a chat with strangers to the sport & we have even gained permission through it -not all lads are miserable ignorant twats lol-billy

i quite like it when people take an intrest, id rather educate somebody than just f*ck them of and like you say ive gained permission through it aswell.

and about the noise issue the rabbits round here still bolt even when ive shot 5 of there mates with the 12 bore! so someone asking how were doin from 50 yards away over a fence isnt gonna make much difference, you just need better ferrets lol

To have some land your a very lucky man! I left army got hitched new house then thought I need to get into ferreting did a bit with a local vet when I was young, got the lurcher now 7 months old poor things never seen a bloody rabbit lol Everywhere is being developed on and too many farmers near me have had enough of the knock on the door and please can I ferret on your land question lol

My last resort is a small piece of land in Bradford I know the lad personally just hoping something comes off it!

 

Looking into getting into falconry now think itll be easier to get permission and go for a ramble across the moors with more chances of catching quarry! Havent got the balls for jumping into someones land and have a cheeky poach lol

U Woz in the army won't ya ? U must av balls .jump the fence and get on with it wots the worse. That can happen ? Nowt as bad as the army. Just blab ur way out ov it .

[OldhamLad 66]

I did the other month I put a post up and I ended up with a fecking shotgun in my face lol I then managed to worm my way out and befriend him BUT if you end up with a police note against your name in the line of work im in ITS just not worth it,

[air gun ant 1,666]

i am lucky in that i have alot of land local aswell and the lad i shoot with has alot of land to so between us were never short of somwhere to go! but before i started getting all this land i had no choice but to jump a few fences lol GOOD TIMES !!!!!!
