shepp 2,285 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Been out today for my first ferreting trip in 18 years due to giving up and taking a long break from it. Used the ferret finder for the first time, which i found good but luckly not required. I found it fiddly to fit the collar on the ferret, with the first one i took so long the ferret stared getting snappy, so i got the other ferret out. It's there first season and the one i used went down and worked well with just a bit of messing about on the first hole. I bought some 10 oz 1 meter nets from KP & S Nets and i found them good quality and with the extra weight they were very nice to work with and easy to untangle. I only did two warrens and caught a rabbit from each in the space of two hours, plus i found and cleared some cover from some holes which i plan to ferret next week. One of the rabbits slipped the net and my lurcher was on it and snapped it up after a few metres. I can't wait to get back out there. Shepp Quote Link to post
