I tend to start early but thats just me. I can't see it making too much diffrence, just make sure you don't stomp around or make too much noise and they should bolt ok... just make sure you're not laid up when it starts getting dark!

earlier you start, the more time you can spend, i like to be out first light, you usually get to see a few bunnies hopping around.

I try to be arriving no later than 10.Especially with short days in winter.That way,if you do get a lie up you won't be digging and panicking in the dark which is never any fun.

Some people go in the moonlight at warrens they are familiar with but you need to have a lot of confidence in your ferrets.

I recently saw a piece on this site by a young lad who went after school,no problem if it's a small warren you are farmiliar with...a bit like lovin' if you get the chance...take it!

I prefer the morning myself, I try to get there no later than 8-9 oclock. But Ive been in a panic when its been getting dark digging out a ferret before. Its not a good situation !

[Guest midnight_runner]

first light for me mate

[Guest Leeview]

Not saying never but there are very few times in a season when we catch more rabbits after noon time than before so the earlier the better

I usually go as early as possible. Some of my permission is 45 minutes drive away, so I usually end up starting a bit later there, despite my good intentions!

[Guest Bigbob]

The further away im going i like to leave earlier but next week im going to do both side of a farm road and last time i got a locator reading 6 foot down under the middle of the road and you just got to sit it out ,it wouldn't be the first time ive phone the wife to bring a lamp after a 7 am start to finish and get the ferret out :11:
