Recommended Posts


doe's any one ferret in the evning or late afternoon t-time or just morning ?

 

 

given the fact that there isnt much light during the evenings in winter time i always ferret in the mornings and carry on right into afternoon, i dont ferret during the summer months or at night :)

Kreet Ive got a similar idea mate I have been persuading myself all day not to go out tonight after dinner (so will be about 6.30) and do 1 warren with 1 ferret... because its either that or I go out with the airgun I think. I really dunno... Hmmmmm :hmm:

 

Edited to add I normally go first thing in the morning and if Im still there I dont like entering a ferret after 3pm in the winter. Its an old saying I think but Ive learnt it the hard way I got a right sweat on trying to dig my hob from under a feckin great tree root at after 4 with darkness approaching fast!

just back mate went up but the feilds aint cut yet and the bit i was gonna work is a banking thats about 500 yards long with another banking 400yard running up fields like a T shape but the grass is upto my waste so had a bit look there were rabbits about but would have been stupid trying to ferret so just walked back down the road ill head up when the feilds are cut and see if i can get some done if not ill have to wait till the grass dies down abit .

 

Did you head out with the gun gibby ?

Not tonight Im afraid :no: I was gunna go around 9ish but somethings come up. Was out on monday night though got a couple of rabbits and a crow. Im down to just the crow now just chucked it in for the ferrets a min ago. Got some chicken to feed em too.

 

I think im going out tomorrow night with my mate with his .22 rimmy for rabbits and his .243 on the back seat of the landy in case we see a fox as there were some foxes spotted on his shoot the other night. He lets me have all the rabbits he shoots if I hold the lamp for him so its all good :thumbs:
