what got you into ferrets

[deanflute 550]

i went ferreting with a family friend in about 1989-91 and always wanted to go with him after that, my mum wouldn't let me have any ferrets at her house so lost interest in them for a few years...now i have got my own place and 4 ferrets and want to go ferreting again!!

A friend had some when i was younger, couldn't have any when we lived in the pub but now where out of there I got myself 2 thanks to Morgo hopefully many to come in the future.

My uncle had ferrets and i grew up handling and playing with ferrets at his house, a neighbour of ours had ferrets also.

 

we moved to a farm when i was 13 and the old neighbour and a mate of his came upto the farm to go ferreting, in due course they gave me a ferret, i bought a few nets, my uncle gave me another ferret and i was away

I got into ferreting as i went with some mates and loved it so purchased me own at 13 and now have em at almost 16 snd still love it.

me and a mate stoped skating and spear fishing, then i went rabbit shooting and lamping with rifles, i liked it alot more, and we wanted to shoot.

we asked our selfs how we can catch rabbits without breaking the law with ilegal guns lol, and his older brouther had ferrets and worked them. he said " lets get ferrets'

and havent turned back ever since, i now own 2 long nets, 3 ferrets and my pride and joy a whippet x grey named cooper

 

bomza started going with me and my mate, and he got them 1 year later

Went out with my godmothers son and his ferts when I was about 10.

Travelled to permission, some old hand dug gravel workings, on a motorbike and sidecar!!!

Good day if I remember.

He still has ferts and so do I some 40 years on!!!

Gave me his old MK1 locator and collars this year what a star!
