  2. What's book called mate every time I try to search I keep getting the Beatle lol would be interested myself as my dogs great grandfather was a john Lennon dog supposedly. Cheers
  3. Hardest fighting pound for Pound must be mahseer a mate went to India and he said it was well dodgey as soon as hooked rod passed to guide then he would feck off down stream running and jumping over huge rocks along a cliff top then if lucky he would get to wind it in out of a flat pool apparently the big stuff are in the most inaccessible parts of river. That is some paddle on the back of that catfish mate bet that took it out of you Atb

  5. What a collection always liked Sylvanian families Must have taken years to collect that lot,a good investment wish I had the doe Good luck with the sale
  6. The real big burys we split them up with long nets all round then purse the well used holes,tend to get a few back netted. Also the bag of net is all important nothing more annoying than rabbit bouncing of a tight net. Out this week with the long nets on a big bury. Will post a few pictures. Atb

  11. Mate was telling me about the old days of using motorbike batterys in made up wooden boxes and car headlight held on a radiator hose, said he ruined so many coats and jumpers from battery acid escaping. I said about LEDs having a tight beam he said they used to try and get them to shine tight. He still bagged loads with that setup Glad we've moved on a tad ☺
  12. That would look good in my pear tree superb work, any ideas where I might get a barn owl skeleton from love those little dinosaurs Atb
  13. Hey gaz could you put link up for the review and video when you get a minute please mate, I only on this site when working dogs and takes me ages to find stuff. Cheers
  14. Been thinking it might be cheaper to feed mutt with a diet of carrots for night work lol
  15. Wouldn't want to give wrong advice here mate,as mine was a pup when introduced it seemed to me that the ferret's could take care of them selves and a couple slaps on the nose when he got ruff with them and told no. Plus he was bitten a few times so he soon learned to respect the ferret's. Not sure about older dogs maybe one dog at a time on a lead in the garden couple times a day till your confidant with them together. Once dogs realise just what the ferret's bring to the party while working it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck mate
  16. A bit like passing driving test you buy a motor that gets you to a to b and does the job.seems these cheap lamps catch rabbits maybe not everyone in the field but hey they get you out.Maybe when your top of your game you know the best kit for the job and can afford it then have the roles roce bit like fishing gear you can pay a fiver for a rod and catch fish or you can spend 500 on a rod that does the same but casts a bit further Guna get one of these cheap LEDs due it fits me pocket. Happy hunting fellas
  17. You could just ferret it during the day most stables we ferret the horses keep their distance, or they really friendly. However there is the odd one that just don't like dogs,had a situation when entered field about 10 acre got half way across then noticed as few horses and one charging round fence line, so put dog on lead. Horse came straight over to me and dog horse was fine with me but hated dog so it took a long half hour to walk out of field horse running circling us to get at dog. Atb
  18. Fella 2 doors up does may be 4 litters or more of jack Russell x shih-tzu guess they are called jack shits maybe ?
  19. Yeah ex army quivers they are heavy, but the poles last a life time and the bag gets lighter as you goA brush handle cost 98p at the moment not sure what we paid would of been less 10+ year ago Atb Dog has now stopped retching socks does that mean he good to go or rest him longer mate cheers
  20. A broom handle isn't long enough to cut into 3 longnet poles is far to thick and far to heavy ... if you've got a 50 meter net with the poles set at 5 meters how big has the fukcing basket got to be to hold all those brush handles ... daftest idea I've heard for a long time ...... Lol I can't seem to edit my posts but more for your old type longnet with steel pins and separate poles copper collar on bottom drill hole 3 mm cut head off 6 inch nail knock in hole copper stops broomstick from splitting. Will post a picture we use them on 100yard nets
  21. Broom stick handles cut into 3 and notch the end, if you have access to a lathe turn down notch end 2 mm down an inch then cut some 22mm copper in inch pieces and sleeve on,to add strength they will last years,but they heavy OK if working out back of truck. Easy net with basket and glass poles is the way foward IMO Atb
  22. Rare occasion that phone was on and captured a bit of action. https://youtu.be/FHExDEK2dYc
  23. Be sure they don't overheat during the summer months mate, size wise make it as big as you can the more floor space they have to run around the better also consider dividing it in 2 if you want to breed later on so you can separate the families Good luck with the build
  24. No worries mate ... you can send me the money for a drink in the post if you want ... it's about £30 a pint in my local lol ... give the dog enough time off for the cough to go mate ...... Lol how about 2 rabbits and a pheasant Dog will be rested,he won't like it when I box the ferret's in the morning,but he will get some good grub for his dinner if I'm lucky Atb
