Help getting into ferreting

[B Woodsford 55]

Looking to get into ferreting got a lurcher that I already work that’s 18 month lamping and day time mooching and a 7/8 whippet 1/8 greyhound pup that’s 7 months that I will lamp next season and want to go ferreting. Wanting to use them both for ferreting but just want to start off with the whippet for now. Wondered if anyone has an permission near Retford that wouldn’t mind taking me along to watch thanks. Don’t mind travelling

Just put a ferret in your box and walk till you find something in and out and move on you can walk miles and find new spots

I used to love a Sunday chilled out ferreting session we used to do well down here on my old land plenty of work for a Few dogs now I recon one dog would get bored of just standing around with not a lot of action happening it’d been getting shiter an shiter for the last 4-5yrs down here so called it a day  I ebayed my ferret finder off last year sold a load of nets to a local guy not that I really bothered using nets most were like new. The thought of my little arms having to dig out stopended rabbits sends my little arms in to shock there not cut out to operating the spade these days f**k digging d
