henry d Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 They are at the age to start right now however I would leave it until the undergrowth dies a bit,unless of course you are ferreting a grassy field. Training is another matter.....Mother nature has taken care of that,they take to it like a duck to water. I take it you will be netting the rabbits?

Vermin Dropper Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 yup, I'd work them with nets untill they get used to really shifting stubborn rabbits. once they are confident and do the business then introduce them to the gun, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
