(If you have reached this site via the Californian Dept of Fish and Game web pages please click here Articles, stories etc. from NFWS Newsletters Field Sports by Jo Woodward Ferrets as pets is a relatively new concept and it is only in the last 10 - 20 years that ferrets as house pets has caught on. Ferrets as working companions, however, is a relationship dating back centuries. Ferreting is a field sport, and the differences between field sports and blood sports are myriad. Blood sports involve an animal being transported to an enclosed area with no means of escape, whereas in field sports the animals are hunted in their natural habitat with every chance of escape. Any ferreter will tell you about the rabbits that have slipped through nets or used undiscovered bolt holes. "How the B**!!Y H**L did he get out?" is a question often hissed through clenched teeth. The rabbit is a pest species. The damage done to agriculture alone cost millions of pounds every year. More sad is to see keen gardeners whose hard work is slowly destroyed by rabbits, or young trees planted as part of the new forest schemes stripped bare of bark and succumbing to disease. It should be noted that the law (N.F.W.S: Pests Act 1954, Section 1) requires people to deal with pest species living on their land or be held responsible for the damage perpetrated by the pests. British Rail learned this law the hard way. The question of how to control rabbits has five answers gassing, snaring, shooting, myxomatosis or ferreting.

Hunting with Ferrets (Ferreting) The Ferret, a relative of the European Polecat, has a long history of being used for hunting Rabbits. With the Rabbit population increasing rapidly in most parts of the UK, the need for control becomes greater. Ferreting is an efficient and important service of controlling the rabbit population, which has been enjoyed as a sport for many centuries by people from many diverse backgrounds and age groups. It is sometimes the only method available for Rabbit control, as it can be used in areas such as banks and verges adjacent to footpaths and roads. The Ferreter spreads purse nets over all the holes of a warren. The net has a ring at either end, through which a draw cord is threaded. The draw cord has a peg attached for pushing into the ground. A Ferret is then entered into the warren. The Ferreter is listening and watching continually while waiting for a rabbit to bolt into a net. Immediately this occurs the Ferreter humanely dispatches the rabbit and resets the net.

5. Ferreting And Rabbeting ferreting Rabbeting. ferreting is an art, not just a matter of laying a net over a rabbit hole, throwing a ferret down and hoping to get a rabbit out. http://freespace.virgin.net/ken.knowles/ferrets/

Welcome to Ken's Webpage Visitor No. My name is Ken Knowles, I have always had ferrets and dogs, when working on a farm or just walking in the fields I have always had a dog and some ferrets and a few nets with me. I have bread all sorts of ferrets, some very good ones and some not so good and some that will always be wild. I also breed African Hedgehogs and fly Radio Control Model Aircraft. Me when I was young Me now Me flying Ferreting is an art, not just a matter of laying a net over a rabbit hole, throwing a ferret down and hoping to get a rabbit out. Your nets have to be laid out so they don't get stuck on twigs and brambles and will not close when a rabbit runs into it. Your ferret need to be fit and not just taken from it's cage after an easy summer and expected to run down holes yards and yards long chasing and killing rabbits without laying up. Your ferrets must be housed in solid cages with room to climb and move around, your nets should be hung out to get the smell of summer, make different nets for different jobs, short ones for when the undergrowth is thick, long ones for two holes that are togeather and so on.

Home page About Us Keeping ferrets Ferret links ... Site index Fred Lay, is a friend who has been working ferrets long before I was born. This day we took 3 of his Jill ferrets. Ferreting can be a muddy and painful job, especially about hedge rows. Using stealth, the extent of the warren needs to be assessed, the burrows and bolt holes located, the nets laid, previously carefully removing litter and snags . As with all things preparation and attention to detail is essential. When all is prepared and ready, the ferret is placed at a netted hole, and it will go in. They will not be forced . Stand clear of the burrows, so as not to be seen by an escaping rabbit, and wait, maintaining silence. Often noise can be heard as the rabbit is harried and often it will emerge and be caught in the net. A spare net is laid and the rabbit dispatched by firmly pushing its head back with one hand, holding the rabbits neck with the other. The rabbit is legged, and suspended from a suitable object and allowed to cool, to make gutting clean and simple. On occasion the ferret will stay down and digging will be needed. A 2nd ferret with a radio collar is inserted and it will either drive out the other;, or stop with it, enabling locating. Digging with care the ferret and rabbit can be extracted. Often the disturbance will fetch out the ferret.
