Ferretin' job - St. Albans ?

[Baldie]

I may (still) have a ferretin' job for someone in the St. Albans (-ish) area. Not seen the job, but shooting is not an option due to proximity of public access. [Not my opinion, the land-owners. I haven't the area remember. ]

If interested, your first couple of visits will be supervised by myself, as you will be there at my recommendation. If the gaffer likes yer, I'm sure there'll be more to come.

PLEASE, only volunteer if you CAN actually attend.

Local bods preferred as these are more likely to turn up I'd expect, but any BBS member will be considered.

Be careful - if anybody takes it now they are either keen diggers or know jack all about ferrets.

ferreting season is well over - won't start until the 1st frost (approx). Too many kits mean that the ferrets will kill in, so you have to dig them out. Add to that the amount of vegetation covering the borrows and you see why it's a winter sport

Yeah what he said....

like it or loathe it the only viable forms of rabbit control this time of year if shooting is out are snaring and gassing, neither of which are ideal (snares need checking at least once a day, preferably twice and gassing is indiscriminate and no ferreter would be willing to work the warrens for 18 months or more after gassing).

Thanks for the 'heads up' Comrade Cooper.
