One of my permissions is a smallholding with a field on a steep bank which has one large Rabbit warren and many smaller ones. The farmer wants them gone ASAP. A friend and I have had limited success over the past 2 months with shotguns and lamping with air rifles, and a typical bag would be 2 or 3 before they go to ground for the night and disappear so it’s not very effective.
Farmer has expressed an interest in ferreting several times but it’s something I know nothing about. He has even recently gone to the extent of getting a hutch to keep ferrets and asked me to speak to those I know in the shooting community to get him some ferrets.
I’d like to hear from anybody local who would be interested in a mornings ferreting to ‘show us the ropes’ with a view to doing more in future/ as required. If you want to know any more, or think you might be up for it, please just ask.
Thanks
Dan
