Off Out For The First Trip Of The Season Tomorrow 30/08/2015

[tjones3862 3,423]

Just to clarify, the ferrets are experience in their jobs and no baby rabbits/nests dug to, In fact no digging at all. Also, no ticks or fleas found. After 20+ years at the ferreting game I think I'm well qualified to make a decision about when and where I choose to ferret.

Thanks to all the supportive comments.

 

As an aside, we had nests in December here.

There's not much higher ground down here, nearest is probably 4-5 hours drive away. I'll get some pics up over the season. ATB.....

OK if a plot of land has 1,000 rabbits resident on it, if I start early season taking good bags longer daylight more hours that peeters of mid January to 15-20 a day but ended up with around the 800 mark, now you prefer to start later and get good bags and end up around the 800 mark from similar land which crops will have the most damage considering the land was drilled in Aug-early September?

gaz ,,,some folk go to the same old blackpool every year,, and then you have the other,s ,,, what want a little more life,,, any way getting back to the post I DONT LIKE FERRETING IN SUMMER,,, i dont think thats a bad thing,,, ,i think you will see some of the big boys on here and many more will start putting post,s there ferreting trips late sept, , and will do all the season on and offffffff, may be these are all old school prats,, like me,,,lol theres a lot will sit on fence with this one, ,,may be ferreting his not there game,, , but iff they was to ask a local chap from there town,, whos bin to the moon and back ferreting and takes it to a good standard they would get the answer, its to early matey ,,,

You might be right Jim. I don't really class myself as a ferreter. I'm a lurcher man. The ferrets are only here to provide a little daytime sport for the dogs. I've only ever been ferreting twice to get big numbers and not took the dogs. The rest of the time it's just to bolt the odd one for the dogs.

 

If last day in august is too early for that then so be it, shoot me down now, I'm a summer hunter. Lol

 

well done for getting out and having a bit of fun with the kids ferret and lurchers

i can see both sides of the argument here,but at the end of the day its each to their own.

i have ferreted in summer and it is awful to be honest sweating nettles etc
