Always make the same noise just as you are going to feed them. I always go "tut tut tut tut tut tut " (you get the picture).
They will hopefully associate this sound with food and it makes it easier, IMO to get them to come out of a hole etc.

If there's a local(ish) hunt in your area, go along to a few meets. Alternatively go to cattle markets or pony sales.
You'll soon see who the farmers are.
Get to know a few people, talk sensibly and "feel your way in" It takes time and trust to get decent permission.
Good luck
If you can get a thin sheet of galvanised metal or similar as big as the area they are shitting in and put it down and put some of their dung on it they will use this area and you have an easy slide out tray type mechanism which is easy to keep clean. The farther away from their nest/food the better.
Well done mate, I often ferret by myself and dog and it's hard work sometimes.
You've got to be selective in the buries you ferret or you miss too many.
