yes ive trid it

it was on the nights that were to cold and frosty to go with lamp,and it was magic mate.

but like your dad we were on spots that we shouldent have been.

we spent hours waiting for them farm house lights to go out,then got out off the hedge and done a bit

it was me that answered that other post about night time ferreting. all the young bucks were saying its no good , waste of time. of course easy to say when you have never done it.

 

night ferreting has been going on for hundreds of years and aint sommat new that warrener did on his film or brinded wrote about in a mag .

 

i have done it countless times in the past , and you can do it on those nights you would otherwise not be out,

 

also done it in places where there is light polution, next to a power station was another faveroute, never used bells.

 

get out there and give it a go lads open park land and a big moon

[Guest bigredbusa]

starlight floats sound ideal . gonna give it a go .

you know ,i havent ferreted at night for ages! when i was a lad we used to do it all the time! there was a group of us that all lived on the same council estate and went to the same school,occo,bert,gubby and myself would often be out on a school night poaching,sometimes it was trout sometimes eels occasionally game birds,but our favoritewas going up onto 'the old castle' old sarum near salisbury,it was and still is infested with rabbits,never once needed to dig the rabbits just kept bolting ! we only had 20 nets between us so more escaped than we ever got! on the way home we allways passed burts nans house and we would leave a couple on her door. good old days.
