Here in the UK, many austringers use ferrets to bolt rabbits for their hawks. I belive this is illegal in most of the US? I thought that some of you may be interested to see these pics of ferrets at work.
I also use my ferrets in a slightly unorthodox way that may well be of interest to a few of you across the pond.
I understand that many american falconers love a bit of squirrel hawking. Here, a ferret is being used to flush grey/cat squirrels from their tree hollows.
