    Ferreting is a dying sport with less people understanding how to ferret or giving up as soon as things go wrong. So here is my 10 ten tips for beginners. 1. keep quiet. you will get a lot more rabbits bolting and you will have to dig less to laid up ferrets. 2. Take your time laying out your nets and try to keep the cord fairly tight so the nets purse as soon a the rabbit hits it. you will get a lot less rabbits slipping the nets this way. 3. keep down wind and if possilble out of sight when waiting for the rabbits to bolt. 4. Whistle when feeding your ferrets. this way if

    i used to use a locator when i 1st started ferreting. now i don't bother. i have ferrets that don't lay up and will come to the whistle. it's easy to train your ferrets to come back to the whistle if they don't lay up, just whistle before u feed them then if one goes missing in the field a quick few whistles and your ferret should soon come bounding back. works for me anyway and have never lost a ferret yet. keeping quite is the biggest key to stop your ferrets laying up, standing down wind and out of sight also helps too.

    Aint she a bit young to be out running after rabbits as she will still be growing mate. I like to leave my dog till they are 10month at least, it reduces the chances of long term injures
