[Guest bigredbusa]

im quite happy to take someone out but i live in cambridgeshire

 

you will need :

 

ferrets

spade

nets

locator mk3 or locat8or etc..

flask of tea / slow gin

if there is two of you a broomstick is handy for carrying large bags.

 

make sure you net correctly and all holes and do it as quiet as possable , dont smoke or talk

[Guest smashygadge]

box

10 nets minimum

spade light

couple off ferrets

and a rubber mallet

thats all i started with stick with nice open 3 / 5 holers you wont go wrong .

 

invest in bleeper when you no your staying in the sport as not a nassesaty for smaller sets.

Before you spend a penny ,your doing the right thing by tagging along with folk and seeing what works in your part of the country .Folk will say you need x,y,and z when you could get away with using z .My opion go out enjoy yourself and have a wee think about what you saw being used before you spend a penny mate

I'm sure that if you fill in your profile in you may get a little response to your request.

Do you have your own transport to get to a meeting point?.

yup certainly do have my own transport to get to where ever just think it will be like having your very own golf caddy for the day carrying your stuff for you lol

[richie 1]

do you have your own permission yet ?

[rigga 0]

um permission nope not yet thats another reason i want to tag along with someone else so i can get my learning done before going round nocking on farmers doors and there is alot round this way luckily

[richie 1]

the reason why i asked was that your only 10 miles from me & if you had your own permission i would shown you the ropes on your plot..

 

i just have to be careful now as to who i invite to my patches as a while back i invited a bloke down & he ended up back dooring me, luckily it was only on land that was for ratting & not rabbits, ratting is something ill never do again, but a lesson learnt, "once bitten twicw shy" .

 

personally if i was you, i would start knocking on doors now as getting permission is a very hard thing to do...

 

if you need any help in the future, give me a shout...

i can understand where your coming from bud i didn't relise it was difficult to get permission but luckily i have cookham just next to me wich is mostly fields so hopefully should be ok when i know what i'm asking i have been told bits so far like say that your only taking ferrets and no dogs that should help apparently
