Do you ??

I went shooting on the weekend and where I go is a old rail way lines and the both sides are covered in brambles / stingers / weeds ect for about 100 yards which got me thinking, I know come winter most of it will die back but does anyone clear this from around warrens before going ferreting?? Do you spend a day or so tidying the area or do you just take the rough with the smooth so to speak?

Brambles are the problem, the rest is easy enough. For the most part we just clear round the holes, using hands and choppers.

Clear it whilst there unless tool are needed

It's heaving with holes and rabbits, about 8 years ago I used to ferret there and so did others so it wasn't too bad but it looks likes no one has been there in a while. It's just been left to go wild

if its really bad,,, a couple days before you go ferreting have a go at it,,or if its just stingers,put gloves on and net it on the day you go ferreting,,

Trouble is if you clear it before you ferret it ,the rabbits might no bolt due to the noise ,do it a week or so earlier and somebody else might ferret it , see it they will let you set fire to it ?.
