Jamie m 668 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have now a 45 acre plot with one or two warrens and a 250 acre plot with a definate 7 warrens and some more possibly. How often would you all work such land ? obviously wouldn't want to deplete the population? etc I would think there be more ???? Quote Link to post
OldhamLad 66 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 here's hoping, as I said new to it so ill know more when ive been and investigated the area, the 45 acre ive been around and there is only one or two warrens. Quote Link to post
The one 8,479 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 well ive had personal guarantee that theres an old railway line littered with them and at least seven warrens he knows off there so should be worth the trip! want wo work it for the meat and sport but also want some to return to next year , suppose its finding the balance Have you asked who owns the railway line ?. round here they handed the old disused railway back too the farmers as it was too expensive to fence and they where worried about health and safety 1 Quote Link to post

cookiemonsterandmerlin 145 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 wowza very nice heres hoping, how long did it take to get them? and how many ferrets did you use? Ferreting is one of the purest sports its not rocket science but over time you will learn ,you can ferret with one but twos better ,when the season comes we tend to rotate 15 over the week working four hobs and one jill . Its not about bag sizes its about enjoying the great countryside but over time permission will grow if your good and well mannered and respectful ,one thing is that is its never instant expeirance is something you learn over your lifetime . The bag in picture took half a day using 4 ferts You can only catch whats there plenty of lads on here catch alot of gear ATB Cookie 1 Quote Link to post
