I started off with a couple of ferrets and a bag of good quality nets not the cheapos or you will be untaggling them all day. If your wanting to do some lamping with the dog, then you'll need a lamp and a set of waterproofs.
I ditched the ferrets and find i get a better bag when i go out in the summer time, they are spaced out with the heat and don't run so fast they are also everywere just sitting in the fields. I sneak up on them and i mean sneak and unload with the shotgun. I 'll shoot one and another 10 ft away is still standing wondering what the f**k, you won't get this in the winter.

yeu need permission from owners berfore even start tryin to sort stuff out. as if u got no permission then you got no land to rabbit from which means all ur gear is pretty much useless.

yeah cheers paul.Im pretty sure i can get some permission sorted out and cheers for that also Mandog.I think im gunna do it with the nets rather than the rifle to start off.cheers

I go quite a bit both ferreting and lamping. Like paul said get permission sorted first. Im quite lucky my pals have a lot of permissions, so i get to go with them. Im still quite a noobie at it but do enjoy going out with the dogs. There are nets for sale in the for sale section.

I'll have a dig around for some nets i got years ago and if there any good you can have them free. Don't know how many though as i give all my decent ones away but as i'm pottering around in the garage sometimes i find one hanging about. I'll let you know how many i find.

Got to go flick just farted time for bed i think.
