quick question???

[Guest manda]

does anyone go ferreting just with the ferrets and dogs i.e no nets etc, is it much harder than using nets? the reason i ask is i have had ferrets for quite a while but just started working them and aint used nets (although i can get some nets off a pal), but i like to see the dog course them so which is better in your opinions??

Depends what you wanna do really............if you need the rabbits then nets are a must.........if you just want to see the dogs working then don't bother with nets. Or do a combination of the two..........net some holes and leave others open and give the dogs a chance (and the rabbits).

i used to just let the dogs course them but the numbers are no where near as big as when you bring both. hope this helps!!!!!!

if you need to get rid of the rabbits quick then definately dogs

with nets but for fun its a joy to watch the dogs chase without nets but u wont get as many rabbits

It also depends on the buries you ferret. Bit of a sickener waiting for a bolt for an hour to then see the rab disappear back down the next hole!
