beatingisbest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Couldnt you just get a ferreter in. When they bolt from the holes YOU could shoot them, thus giving you sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Its a bit late to take ferreting up for this season if you are serious about it you would be better to get yourself set up for next year. their will be no shortage of kits available in the summer months and you will have plenty of time to get the ferrets used to you and being handled and get some kit together.

blackthorn Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Its a bit late to take ferreting up for this season if you are serious about it you would be better to get yourself set up for next year. their will be no shortage of kits available in the summer months and you will have plenty of time to get the ferrets used to you and being handled and get some kit together. as jeff said. go for it its great sport, thinking about getting back into it myself, one thing i will say is give your ferrets plenty of your time. you don't want to stick your hand in a warren with an untrusted ferret.
