    How about air rifle and night vision mate ( best way for lamp shy bunnies), you must dig your ferrets out constantly in the summer when the warrens are full of young. I know you gotta keep land owners happy to keep permision but that must be hard work. Have you ferreted the permission constantly for a couple of years? If so how do find the population of rabbits after a couple of years? Thats not a dig mate just interested if they re-colonise quickly if your constantly taking them as we rest our permission out of season to be honest mate this is the first year and i know we wont be

    Any spare time this winter been out with the dogs( bringing a pup on) or ferrets a little gutted though as I've heard this has been the best cod run for many many years all around the coast. a mates been having some off lilstock the tamars produced along with most places. Talking to another mate who dropped a couple of nets over christmas off of budleigh beach ( this is not a known venue for cod) he said he was'nt far out of casting range he had 60 cod 4lb- 8lb boxing day night and same sort of size couple of nights later, he also told me one of the charter boats out of Exmouth had 40 cod not

    Another great day mate with the bunnies. I used to do a load of match fishing years ago and worked in our tackle shop ( exeter angling centre) till i was about 18. I'm still good mates with Geoff Salisbury and Kev his son who are the owners , I don't know if you've approached them to supply your baits but it's a massive shop might be worth a call. PM me any details and I'd happily have a word for you or forward their details to you.

    That sounds like winning the ferreters lottery to me mate....... You can't beat the quickset longnets and at £40 ( do you fancy selling it for £45)

    Definately seem to be holding in pockets this year, lamped some permission thats normally pickled early in the season didn't see one, farmer said there had been a load of mixy there, 20 minutes down the road we've had some nice bags ferreting this year. Went to a bit, lamping tues night ( ideal to get the pup going small fields loads of rabbits) not many about at all, there were loads there last year so had been waiting for the right night to get up there with the pup. I reckon there's a lot of factors but alot of mixy about last summer and the last couple of harsh winters can't of helped fr

    It's good to have permission as long as the land owner don't expect a clearance job. Went on some with a mate ( his permission) a couple of weeks ago with the dogs and the farmer came out for a walk to see the dogs run he was impressed with my mates dog ( my pup was just watching) but wanted a corn field sorted out properly.. My mate went back with the ferrets on the weekend and air rifle in the week to sort it. It's a bit of effort to keep them happy sometimes but I suppose you can have a night out without worrying about a pull sometimes

    I'm starting back after a few years out of it and do it because i love being out with my dogs, I always did but couldn't find the time for a while. My love for the game was started as a kid catching rabbits, I still love catching rabbits, my little lad will learn how to catch rabbits. Over the years caught more than rabbits, but to get back into it I've got a rabbiting dog, I hope in years to come I don't lose sight of why I got into hunting in the first place

    Mick c Sorry mate must have been posting at same time said similar things

    Why not try both mate, you'll probably want to have 2 with you anyway. Over time you may find one will work better than the other and you'll get a feel for the way they work. Usually the hobs will kill more readily meaning a bit more digging, but can be really useful for moving stubborn rabbits, usually jills mean more bolting rabbits and I think especially when working long hedges with long nets move a bit quicker through the warrens. Nothing is certain though, so i would say use them both and see how it goes
