When does the season end? i thought you could ferret as long as there was an "R" in the month.

There isn't an actual 'season' as such...ie you won't be breaking the law if you ferret in the summer, but most people stop around mid-february - end or march time as thats when the rabbits are usually breeding.

A good rule of thumb is to stop when you catch baby rabbits.

 

I'm not stopping just yet, not seen any young 'uns round here yet, I'm gonna keep going to the end of the month at least!

I had young bolt today.... which is a pain in the ass, They are all ment to be big as its starting to get into winter.

 

But mate, i have had worse days. Walking in extreme hot weather to catch nothing. Walking like 13 kms... with the kit.

 

Torture
