Ferreting Hedge Rows

im the same as yourself dan, no long nets and no dog lol (but getting long nets soon), it can be a nightmare at times. if theres not too many holes on one side of the hedgerow. I block the holes with big stones sometimes that helps. don't use soil because the rabbits can bust out as I found out

I'm hopefully going to get some long nets aswell, I hadn't thought about blocking the holes! Good Idea! The one hedge I think I'm going to do first has most of the holes on the one side bar about 3, so I will either use a long net or there is a hole in the hedge with fencing in, I might have to show off my gymnastic skills, hurdling the fence (wont end well!) Thanks for the reply ATB Dan

Didnt mean that lol if u block the holes with rocks mate the ferret will chase a rabbit to the rock and when it cant get out the ferret will dragg it back down the burrow so thats not the best thing to do ?

I know what your saying man, its actually happened to me. but that's the sport. I don't always do it but it helps when im stuck. just keep the spade handy haha

Iv never had to dig in my life just luck i think i havent got locator yet going to get one though. Closest iv came to it was i heard a squealing comming from the hole and i put my arm in and barely held the rabbit with my finger tips and pulled it out with ferret attached lol

haha you were lucky there ive got a hob that's quick and lets just say I need not forget the spade lol, but he goes in after the jill's been in. locators are the tool. lands me right on top everytime

Stick to the sets you can do on your own, without too much trouble. you'd be better off with stop nets cutting up the hedge than running it along one side.
