Ferreting In April ?

[jandcguns 65]

Hi guys was wondering if anyone still ferrets at this time of year is it ok to do so if you release the small baby's that you could catch, some mates of mine were out yesterday and invited my to have a look out tomorrow on a farm that wants rid of rabbits should I or shouldn't I that's the question

That was the saying when i was a boy but speaking to some of the older boys they say that they've had young all year round. If it's pest control then go for it though a locator and spade would be needed imho

Thanks for the replays lads much appreciated

Mine is the same...fcukin xbox's All i wanted to do when i was a boy was get home from school and go down the river fishin or chasin rabbits with my JRT's...loved it. All they want to do is play games. The boy was interested in the shooting for a while but hated the ferretin...can't understand it
