rather than ferreting loads of empty sets is it worth getting out there with a torch/lamp just before sunrise so you can see where they're heading? you'd look a bit odd without a dog but at least you might see a couple drop down into a warren or two so you know which ones to ferret? sods law that you'll see loads of squatters with not having a dog!

My usual spots have been crap this season. I was out one day last week from 8 until 2 and caught 2 rabbits. I just got permision to ferret a small woodland which seems to have a good population. I got 11 yesterday which I dont think is bad for a solo trip round here.

im not struggling at all this season..........cause I packed it in after 30 years.I had a few days out and never got above 6 rabbits,so Im puting the nets away snd sticking the locator high up in the press and will wait till the situation changes for the better.Ive tried to find a home for the ferrets and cant even manage that.No one wants them cause no one can get the work for them.
