Llincolnlass 0 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hello all. I've been away from Ferreting for about two years but now coming back into the field again after being offered a cemetry permission. It is a difficult permission as there is no digging, though I can back fill. My fiance has the same permission to use his air rifle (I don't shoot at the moment, but plan on getting an air rifle soon) for the rabbit, and pest birds. The bounderies back on to National Trust land which we have been asked to ferret and shoot too. I am just so thrilled that my good reputation two years ago have come to such permissions!!! So plenty of work ahead... the only trouble is... I sold all my kit two years ago so as for ferreting; have to buy all new, including ferrets and tracker !!! Can't wait to find my new work mate (ferrets) and start bonding with them before the real work begins which I am so eager for. I luuurved being out in the field so much and can't wait to get back out there. Is the Deben Mk3 still the way to go with the tracker or is there anything new on the market that you would recommend? I will have to try and find some of my old ferreting photo's and get some up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Duncan 802 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Welcome aboard! I left Lincs back in 1990, and in the last few years seem to keep getting new friends (through shooting and field sports that way). Wildfowling on the wash, culling hares near Spalding, pigeon shooting by invite etc... I love shooting bunnies over ferrets (bolters of course!) so if you need a hand, let me know Cheers D.

Llincolnlass 0 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Thank you for the welcomes and advice on the Mk3. I think I will keep to that one. I got hold of two young gill's that are a nice polecat, did idealy want a white but never mind. Sorted out a ferret box and got some of the kit to have a go at making my own nets. Never really made any before, but with You Tube... How difficult can it be (may regret saying that!!!) So getting there. Nice to see other Yellow Bellies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
