99 views and not a single response. The ferreting and running dogs sections are booming but it's like a ghost town here. If I go Into this blind I'll try and do some content to get this fired up :)

Hi Years of ferreting and running lurchers. Now find myself with enough time for falconry ( childhood fantasy that hasn't disappeared in over 30 years) I've got the time and cash now! Want to have a serious look at next steps into moving into falconry. I need a sponsor someone to show me the ropes and let me come out with them. Anyone fancy taking on the challenge. I'm an easy going guy ex squaddie 35 year old manchester based happy to travel.

Would ask the mods to ban you tbh. You miserable git. Grief is very real and this forum is about supporting one another. You get out what you put into these forums.

Welcome to forum. Big problem wild boar too. So ethically and environmentally sound plan

Agreed

Interested. What's the details please

This was the original reason they first disappeared. So suspect as the group have said its likely to come back. The area is lawless to a degree so wouldn't be any management of them.

Last time there was rabbits in this location was the 90s. 30 years since. So It has previously held a population. It's almost 90 acres in size upto the peripheries. Mixture of forest,grassland and sandy moorland . Which is perfect. There isn't natural repopulation as the areas around the land are built up now. Those that know Oldham probably know what where im talking about. Agreed on people getting stuck into it on their own accord as the area has a plenty of housing. The area hold foxes,Badgers, deer you name it. Just a shame that no rabbits which is a key piece of bio diversi

Evening All Been chatting with another member and I posted some time ago regarding the topic. I'm interested in rewilding an area of land near mine for wildlife purposes. So here goes the question. If anyone has any live rabbits please give me a shout would be very interested in releasing near me. Can discuss terms privately. ( Additionally what success or failure stories have you all got ) Cheers chaps Thanks

Thanks Pal. Going to hold for now ( Im only at Oldham too so very tempting! Ive got a bed / whippet bitch but shes 6 now so was tempted to bring on another pup ) As per most of comment thread fair play on pricing !

Hi Love the video! And some QandA at the end. In terms of Ferreting UK vs Oz for me two fundamental differences climate and breeding season. In the UK it is traditional to not ferret in any month without the letter r in it as its the warm summer months such as june , july and august when rabbits are breeding. By not ferreting during these months you get less lay ups when the ferrets kill in the warrens / burrows and eat the smaller baby rabbits ( which if you ever ferret in the summer in UK happens alot) I was always taught to teach the ferrets to recall/respond to t

Paracord a squaddies best friend! Good shout
-
Is this something you'd still be interested in now or a time gone bye to remain? Thanks
-
Had a ferret get out and eat a couple of neighbours rabbits i sh%t you not! I wasnt a fan with the locals at all!
-
Thanks lurchers keen to see if anyones up for it. Ive got some time yet so see what comes through yet ( agreed always a massive hit with people the falconry stands )
-
Btw loving the photo drops and everyone getting stuck in with their thoughts and experiences. From what im seeing it looks positive and reckon something needed to be seriously looked into!
-
Thats a really interesting concept of getting shop bought but showing the right attributes and realising and seeing success.
-
Good job were all just discussing the theoretical side of things ?️ Thanks everyone. Good dialogue and conversation ?
-
Weird idea but honestly i think due to the urban surroundings it just never got a chance to repopulate. Query is would there need to be existing warren networks. Reality is a rabbit just plonked without a burrow is going to have a hard time isnt it....

This is a really good shout !
