popnoodle 4 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 get an air rifle and go after youve eaten your tea if you wait until theres a load out you can nobble a few before they catch on and run back in Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,217 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 It's do-able it's just mostly grim. Gardens and shit is alright, but crawling about woodland up to your eyes in nettles is just shit. Depends on the ground. Quote Link to post
max abell 198 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Did a one off garden job for a lady recently it went ok as it happens we got 7 with no hang ups but i certainly wouldn'd reccomend summer ferreting This is NOT a dig a the people who ferret all year round good luck to them and i wish them all success in the world but its not for us Quote Link to post
