John Buckinghamshire Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hello All, I'm looking for someone with ferrets to help me reduce the numbers in an area where wheat is being damaged. The plan would be to bolt them to shotgun. Let me know if you're interested. Locals only. I don't want you to drive a long way incase it's not a success. Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooder Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 better off using nets if possible, as its more reliable than bolting to guns, when the noise starts they can be reluctant to bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
222mark Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Never heard that one before or experienced it. Always seem to bolt better if your not walking round the holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why waste cartridges when nets do a better job. Better and safer sport with nets. If you are worried about noise above ground which I agree is important for bolting then we use long nets on most situations. Shame I am not closer I would love to help. With 3 generations of ferreters from 72 to 4 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
