    Ferreting in Summer

    Evening all.

    Been offered a working jill, hutch, 50 purse nets, mk2 locator, 2 collars and all accessories for £200. First off, is it worth it? And secondly, can you ferret for rabbits in the summer months?

    Is that just because the majority of rabbits are out and about? Forgive me for my innocence.

    It's not a bad deal
    what type of nets are they and im lead to believe the mk2 locator isnt that good however I've never used one so couldn't say if this is right or not
    get it bought and get out ferreting
    nows the best time to be doing it

    Decided against it to be honest. Need more experience with ferrets and ferreting beforehand so have got myself 2 jills with a 4ft hutch. Going to get them used to me over the summer and start the end of this year.
