I am only new to this game as I am use to using Purce nets the long netting is something I want to learn more about I have done plenty around rabbit warans with ferrets but never done night time long netting this was the first time for me. I am open up to information or web sites where I can learn more of the night hunting if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Set up all the long nets an Thursday and returned Saturday night and lifted them up had a great night only got a few. The interesting thing we saw was not all the rabbits would hit the net but run along it. It was like they new the net was up luckily my mate has a whippet who was a great help.
-
I have seen a lot of photos and videos on the internet and noticed that around the uk and Scotland all the pegs on the nets are wooden and I have always wondered why. In Australia I have never seen wooden pegs on the nets all the people I know use steel pins, I am a bit unsure if timber would even work in Australia as our ground is quite hard.
-
Great video just out of interest what do you use for the poles on your long nets.

It’s unfair when things go like that unfortunately you have to do the right thing for your little man. As I seem to get older they seem to become more family than hunters sounds strange but I believe it’s true.

Could someone please put up some photos of a micro ferret as I am interested in seeing one as I have never really hear of one chears.
-
Just out of interest what is a micro ferret. Second of all unsure on the size of the bush you want to do but in the past I have hade a couple of large black Berry’s bushes and we sliced them down with a wiper snipe and blocked them into patches it all depends on how eager you are. It sounds like a lot of work but you woul be amazed on how happy you can make a farmer. But once you block up the bush let it sit for a weak or two to let the bunnies to relax befor you let the ferrets loose. Makes it so much easier.

It could be a young kid just trying to start out

Went out today and done a garden in a roundabout at a reception center 45 minuets 20 bunnies. Not a bad day out considering we weren’t hon long woul have like to have done more but the temperature started to get pretty hot for the ferrets.

Getting permission to ferret on properties is not a hard thing to do. Go for a drive around the farm lands and when you see a farmer in is paddocks introduce yourself to him. I find this works quite well. What I have found is knocking on doors is not the most greatest idea as I have found people often get suspicious so I wouldn’t recommend that unless someone has recommended you go and see them example another farmer or friend who will give you their name. The other way I found to be the best for me is to make up a simple flyer and when you see a paddock with rabbits hopping around pop it in

It’s great to see the young ones getting into ferreting their is not a lot of young ones these days getting into it. My oldest is 13 she will often come out with me and will quite often play with the ferrets at home and at the moment I have 4 kits that are 12 weeks old and she has been able to nip train them not to bite.
-
This is my cage it’s 10 foot long 3 foot wide two story at the moment I have closed of the top to the bottom as I have a Jill with 4 kits and the big fella lives up top. It has plenty of ventilation and mostly made from steel. It also has sleeping boxes on both levels. Always make sure you have plenty of water on both levels just in case a ferret is unable to get to the level where the water is. I have always had 4 to 5 ferrets in it and they seem to be very happy living in it. I also have another cage on top it’s 6 foot long and 18 inches wide the only time I use it is when I am cleaning out

Wait till all this COVID is over and come down to the land of Down under for a ferreting holiday stay with me for a weak and we can take a nice drive to Echuca and sirbles who I am sure would be more than happy to take us out for the day. I have never met the man bu he sounds Cruzzy.
-
It’s great to see you carry a first aid kit for animals. Your videos are good keep it up.
-
It’s great to see the young ones getting into the sport.

Merry Christmas to everyone and happy hunting for the year 2021.
-
That is quite possible I didn't think of it. But when you see how my kids play with them you would think they were playing with little dogs on how they come to you when you call them. When I feed them I always make that bop bop noise but only when I feed them.
-
I have Never used or owned ferret locators and being using ferrets for years. Never had to dig or even lost a ferret. I think it all comes down to how you treat your ferret as mine are treated more like pets and normally come back. I think if you are loyal to your ferrets they will be loyal to you. Just like a dog or any other pets.
-
At what age do you give the rabbit to the kits.
-
Good video and your dog looks great
-
MMMM delicious
-
It's great to see good numbers
-
Interesting information I would have to say I have never heard of anyone feeding their ferrets a cat before.
-
How are the baby ferrets going my Jill is due to have hers in around a week or so second question what do you feed the Jill when she has her kits

Guys thanks for the information I have looked on the internet and not found a lot of information I have an idea and will make up a system that will hopefully work once done I will put it up on the site for for everyone can not only see how it works but maybe ideas on how to improve it. I did come across one in this form a bloke called kevi made and used a central locking system from a car and was remote I think something like that my be a little bit over engineered or maybe not I do have his number I may even give him a call.
