Land Permission

[DonaldD 0]

hello i've recently came into ferreting and i love it started with 1 ferret now i have 4, always loved going for rabbit but nothing beats using a ferret. I'm from south lanarkshire and around my area it's mostly game keepers that owns the lands so i'm finding it difficult to get permission on land just so see if yous guys could offer any advice it would be much appreciated.

Lord rake may give you some permission or if not some good pointers.

Get a good reputation in the area, both for being an honest, decent guy, and also for being good at catching rabbits. If its all keepered, get out and go beating, offer general help around the shoot, especially smaller syndicated shoots, which may struggle for man power, and generally get your face known and your foot in the door. Usually, if you do this, something will come up. Also never overlook any land. . . schools, gardens, garden centres, church yards, stables, anywhere with any bunnys, get in and ask, if you get a bit of land, however small, us that and the owners name to work on the surrounding land and so on. You just got to be persistant, good at your job. . . and a wee bit lucky.

Just back from ferreting n caught 2 healthy rabbits missed 4 though due to a bolt hole i had missed but hey my ferrets worked and done what they are meant too, i also have located another location where the farmer is letting me on to get rid of the rabbits by all means necessary either ferreting or shooting them so all in it has been a very good start the the Saturday.

Used my male today hes still to hyper and when i try to pick him he goes daft and runs like f... but on the plus side hes a belter ah polecat and will do a fine breeding though i need to give him a run now and again. On the plus side took him home and took my females again and sure enough the bolted 1 rabbit so happy days. Can [NO TEXT TALK] care to put me out my misery "Do you feed your ferret before you got out or how long after they have eat do you need to wait i have heard so many stories. it would be much appreciated thank you.
