I Would Like To Start Ferreting

[newferreter 0]

Hi im looking to get into the sport of ferreting I have liked the look of the sport for many years now but never had the chance to have a go at it. I would like as much information and advise as possible as I do not want to give the sport a bad name. I have a large hob and a dog hes whippet x staffy would I be able to work him? Thanks

yes youll be able to work with dog infact having a good dog on a big set helps quite a lot also mate its not really that complicated ferreting make sure everythings coverd and get a collar and shovel and away you go mate its just cost me over 300quid to get all the gear I need to go ferreting properly if your gunna do it may aswell do it right youll need a cage nets but stay away from the nylon nets either polly or hemp and a carry box I made my own for a 5er just as good as shop bought and get a mk3m finder if you want to keep the ferret you have and not lose there a very important piece of kit say your ferret kills or corners a rabbit down hole unless you want to sit there for hours in the hope it comes out or dig blind collar is the way to go

You can work anything to a extent if you put the work in mate , take it you have no permission ?. i would try to get a day out with somebody local before you buy all the kit and find out its no for you
