benelli montefeltro Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 hi all, was hoping to get a bit of ferretting done over the xmas period and was just wondering if ant of the other members from ni on here could point me in the right direction as to where i might find rabbits to start with! all my old favourite spots are useless now and have been for some time, i used to do a hell of alot of ferretting in tyrone, augher, clogher and stuff. there aint a rabbit there no more, and there hasnt been in years now. its hard to figure out.

ollie Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Stay away from Antrim . Good luck with your search, there isn't a great deal down our end of the country but there is enough to get a few days sport over the winter. Do you net them or shoot them?

benelli montefeltro Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 haha, no problem ollie. i prefer to stand 25 to 30 yards of the holes and shoot them, only the real good bolters mind you! ive never netted in my life, doesnt do it for me. did you ever ferrett around tyrone around 10 years ago? it was crawling with them down there, but there aint a damn thing now, its a wasteland!
