I use to ferret squrrels all the time. After mixie had wiped out all the rabbits in the 1960s we had nothing left to hunt only squirrels and rats. Although I would only put them in holes in trees that were not above head hight. Most ferreting was done out of old dry stone walls that ran through the oak woods.

 

The noise the squirrels would make as soon as they smelt the ferret was pretty loud, they would chatter and scream at the ferret but they would always bolt rather than fight. It was real good sport bolting them to the terriers. Plus you had the up side that you could eat the younger ones. It was not a numbers game and if you had more than a couple in a day you had done alright.
