rabbit.slayer.no.1 3 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 ive seen alot of you guys getting up before the sun and heading to your permissions for a full day of ferreting, is this the best time to start? or can i start at dinner time and work till it gets dark? im waiting on a lad on one of are permissions to get back to me about ferreting his horse feilds. we are aloud to use harris hawks but no air rifles so im hoping he will let me have a go with some ferrets Quote Link to post
BEARINATOR 2,843 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 In the morning is the best time to start, especially if you have some travelling to do Quote Link to post
ledders666 6 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 makes no odds to what you catch, there either in the holes or not whateveer time of a day. so its just personal choice on when you want to go anf for how long. Quote Link to post
atomo 19 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 am, you can get a good day out of it then rather than a few hours Quote Link to post

NEWKID 26,501 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Definately early starts for me, get all the time in you can, the days are short and the seasons are getting shorter, besides I reckon the mornings the best time of the day Quote Link to post

JoeD 24 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Deffinately AM I try to get out for 7/7.30 am Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Jesus wept some people need to think before they ask questions. Start earlier, get more hours of daylight, get more done. How hard is that to figure out yourself? Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Ever heard the saying 'ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer'? I fully accept and would encourage young lads and people starting out to ask as many questions as they like in order to learn the trade, but there is a limit, sometimes people need to learn to at least attempt to use their own brain. The concept that if you start earlier, you have more time and so can get more done is a fairly universaly recognised phenomina and is hardly part of the 'secret ferreting knowledge'. Whatever hapenned with thinking for yourself and asking advice when you get stuck? And 'Rabbit Slayer no1' - I think you will find that i am very helpful answering all kinds of ferreting related questions and have taken a number of young lads out for ther first day. The main reason that people stop using forums is the amount of repetative drivel on them rather than the miserable c**ts like me Quote Link to post
