What Time Do You Start ?.

[The one 8,485]

Anybody still believe you have to be up and out at the crack of dawn to start ferreting ?.

 

Unless im away to my furthest permission a two hour drive which i leave as close to six am for preferably on a Sunday im quite happy to let the rush hour past before i leave and start ferreting about 10 am ?

Normally get to where I'm going about 8 run the dogs round to clear the land Ave a cuppa let things settle start proper about 9ish

[pie-eater 377]

about half 8 or 9 so not to early. Best to give the rabbits time to get back into their warrens Id have thought.

[RossM 8,121]

I like to get there early purely for the fact to get it done and you may have some of the day left to do something else if you choose.

At this time of year it's hard to start befor 8 unless you want to do it in the dark,,,,

 

But when I go to my permo,,,2.5 hours drive,,,I'm up around 4.30,,, leave about 5 am,,,pick soppy bollox up then we have to stop at mcd,,,,or he gets mardy,,,needs his sausage mc muffin and hot chocolate ,,lol..

 

But if I'm having a mooch local,,,defo after 9 ,,,,want them silly dog walkers out the way,,,last week i put a Jill in my pocket and had a wander about 2.30 pm just an hour or so befor it got dark,,,,

I like to be out at first light,not for any particular reason other than I like to be out at dawn....think its the fisherman in me Never really thought about it,but as soon as the first setts netted up I pour a coffee from the flask,like when you've just tackled up your rod,baited the swim and settled the float on your first cast

I'm much the same I like to net up then give it 5-10 mins to just settle then send the team in

[wirral countryman 2,110]

I don't think it matters what time you start just do it to suit yourself but I never put a ferret in a hole an hour before dark, this time of year that means finishing 3 to 3;30pm, saves any pissing about digging holes in the dark, WM

And you do this on every set?

[Katsdad 31]

No, usually just first but on every one I do leave a bit of time between netting up and entering ferret,don't know why just habit

[The one 8,485]

With my son we will net up a burrow and i will carry on netting up the next or if theres a few close by till i run out of nets then i will go back and help him , but if its a dig he usually does that and i carry on ferreting .Once we get going we tend to crack on

I am the world's worst for early starts...

My poor old body doesn't seem to function too well, until the joints become warm,...and my head clears...

 

Obviously,.on a paid job,..you need to get on site,.same time as the client,..or there will be trouble.

Most Farmers are sticklers for getting, a fair days work,.for a days pay, kinda thing,..so you have to be there...

 

On jobs for the Local Authority ,..Nature Reserves, etc,..you can sometimes wing it and work the day, to suit yourself..

 

Same with removing rabbits from large Manor House gardens,.under sheds, decking etc....

 

The only time I really get myself up for a days ferreting, is when the place is lifting with rabbits..

In such cases,..you have to fill ya boots, make a real day of it,..catch as many as you can,..before some other fecker does

[weasle 1,119]

I Just like early mornings,have nets out by 8,Every now and then you can be ferreting away and have a fox wonder into you on its way home,thats the kind of thing i remember.

Be finished by 1-2 Still have a bit of daylight to do anything else that has to be done.

Last 3 mornings finished up with 13 is that wierd

[The one 8,485]

I just like the peace when your out there a few rabbits are a bonus , a nice bagfull means i dont need to put my hand in my pocket to feed my stuff . But seeing my son enjoying himself or ripping a few mates on a day out means more than ferreting 7am till 5 pm would make it more like work
