Rabbiting with shotguns

[joetilley 0]

I have two ferrets who will be working for the first time this winter. Does anyone have any info on working ferrets with the shotgun. Do you put the ferret down and stand back and wait for a bolter with the gun?

your better off, finding a warren that you can net one side off, take someone with you to look after the netted side, whilst you stand looking out and away over the un-netted side, saves you waving the gun in all directions like a man possessed

use the 3 second rule, dont be shooting rabbits as soon as they bolt because sometimes the ferrets on the arse of them and you dont want to be shooting 1 of your ferrets.
