stealthy1 3,964 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Kids eh! Once when I was twelve I got a smack in the mouth and a boot up my arse for asking for my nets back from a gamekeeper just outside Doncaster, got the nets back, did'nt ferret there again. Quote Link to post

micky 3,325 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 As the weather was rather nice today i decided to go ferreting today instead of tomorrow .I arrived just after 11 and I let the dogs have a little run about first to let of some steam,I picked up the ferrets and started off to catch up with the dogs who had gone ahead sniffing around ,when I caught up with them it was obvious someone had beat me to the rabbits there were signs that someone had been ferreting there .So with a temper rising I marched along the field down into the hollow where I know there are always rabbits ,to my shock 2 youths were there and one of them was digging :realmad: ,my gobby bedlington was going crazy barking at them at this point and when I appeared in view with the other dogs they decided to do a runner leaving behind 5 rabbits and 4 nets ,as I was picking up my freebees what comes toddling out of a hole but a lovely little albino jill a little thin but rather friendly ,So in the end not a bad day ,the little ferret has settled well into her new home and tucking into a huge fat pigeon for tea with her new mates spoils of war Quote Link to post

andy s410c 61 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I can understand your frustration Sue of having"poachers" on your land.But i've done it in the past & the few times i've had me collar felt i never left my ferts underground.However i'm grown up now( ) & would'nt poach i value my ferts too much. It pisses me off when they leave the land in a state,litter,no backfilling but i'll see the landowner to make him aware of people coming on to the land & that keeps me in the clear The jills got a better home so that's a good positive to come out of this Quote Link to post

Sue just picked up after them. We dont know the situation. If it was on a keepered estate or on a poultry type farm leaving someones ferret their could be a reall annoyance to the landowner. If we ever loose one we make sure someone is there all the time if there is poultry near by Quote Link to post
