If you were closer I’ve a hob you could of had I’ve had the same line of ferrets a number of years decided to pack in ferreting last year got rid of all my Jill’s because ferreting down this ways a waist of time you waist a day ferreting for maybe 1 rabbit that’s how bad it’s got it’s not worth the hassle it’s dead time your get more sport with a lamp an dog trespassing rather than stood around waiting for a bolt down here on permission the poor c**ts not even had a days work this season as I’ve not felt the times worth waisting

I'm the same mate ,up until a few yr ago plenty rabbits to go at but now it's baron local ,if I see young about start of spring/summer I always hoping  they coming back but no such luck yet .once my old jill and daughter gone thst will b it until numbers pick up .i kept this line ferrets for yrs and the two Jill's are the last of the line ..its a shame numbers have got so bad as ferreting always been my main thing ,but not to worie we always find something while out on a rake about .

Shame ain’t it mate I was thinking the other day I wonder how many lad/lasses that have always liked a bit of ferreting that kept there own little strain of ferrets have called it a day due to lack of numbers   It’s grim if you think to much in to it I mean some people have kept ferret stains an there choice of dogs they like to use going a long time an now more an more are finding there’s hardly nowt to go at so are pretty much redundant unless there dogs are handy enough to lamp a few or switch it up a bit shame really

Got one hob left I used to keep 2-5 Jill’s an a hob it’s been a roller coaster ride the last 5yrs they’ve been slowly declining Down in the midlands I used to travel to some spots But not to far within half hour drive I had a few different bits of permo still got a couple of bits of ferreting permo was speaking to the owner of a sheep farm I get on last night He wants me to hammer the last of them back as much as I can as he’s got a few fields hes doing crops on this year so I’m going to have hammer the last of the warrens or else he’ll shoot the remaining I was trying to save them as stock for next season but it’s a opportunity to bring my pup on I know there’s rabbits along the hedge rows plus my hob will get a bit of action this season
