Thread: Bird Predator Control

The ferrets seem to move on from my original cage site on the estuary – seven was good – then just the odd rat and a few hogs. So I brought the cage home. I got a call yesterday morning from a resident down the bottom of the street – they had seen a ferret running across their lawn. I took the cage down last evening and set it up with a nice fresh leg of rabbit – a lovely spot at the top of a walking track up from the water and outside the owner’s bedroom window. Nice big section of about two acres on the edge of the estuary – plenty of young rabbits running around – perfect place for ferrets.
Phone rang this morning to say we had caught a ferret – took the .22 down and dispatched the cute little buggar – large nuts but no smell. Left a leg attached to the rabbit leg – so hope for another one tomorrow.
