I've never tried night-time ferreting.

 

If I wanted to ferret land on which I'd got permision then I'd ferret it during the day, on the other hand if I wanted to poach then I'd use the dog or net!

 

Maybe I'll give it a go one moon-lit night just to see what the crack is.

like i said open park land , with warrens out in the open. as for loosing ferrets, dont wory , the problem is most folk today havent spent half an hour out in the darkness with out a lamp.

 

belive you me its very light under the full moon

I would give it a try it the warrens around here where not all in blackthorn/hawthorn hedges, bramlble/ gorse patches or in the woodlands.. Maybe when i find some nice little open warens i will give it a try.

Nice open warrens? That would be a dream for me! All of the places I go are either gorse or bramble!

My grandfather used to ferret rabbits at night, back in the day, my grandmother used to tell me stories about it when I was a nipper - sounds of the rabbits bumping about below ground was spooky at night apparently. He was a rough-bred poacher though, so it would have been out of necessity not from choice to do it under darkness.

 

I have never had a go myself though, but it would be ok if needs must I guess.

I too would like to try it, but its one of those things that I never get round to doing! One day....

 

I know of a few places that I wouldnt fancy doing in the day...
