Ferreting

[micko 0]

Hi All

 

This is my first time on so ill get to the point.I have done most types of hunting over the years but for the last ten years I have gave it up because my children have been young but my son is now twelve and after alot of time fishing with him I have decided to get him into hunting.I have decided to start ferreting with him as this is what I enjoyed at his age but because I have been out of the sport for so long I don't know where to start?

The guys I used to hunt with have moved away or gave it up along time ago and I don't know where to get a hunting ferret or a hunting lurcher or whippet?.I'm not even sure if the places I used to hunt will even let me on there land but I'm determined to give it a go and I would love any advice on how to proceed(I'm from northern Ireland if that will help)

Cheers

Before you get a ferret get some permission sorted. There will be a lot of ferrets for sale around June and they will be young so you can get to know them nice and early.
