That’s good, thanks

If NATO had left Ukraine alone the war would’ve been over years ago, a few people would’ve been shot and Ukraine would have quit. Instead NATO pushed with supplies and money and have kept the war going for no reason as Ukraine isn’t even part of NATO. this might also cause a ww3 to happen and now America as always is trying to run with their tails between their legs and kissing Russia’s arse. Don’t even get me started on Starmer what useless person they have controlling. he is taking everything he can from his country and people to give to others, a man who goes against his o

Well that’s sad to read, maybe you can leave the country and lay a brick on your way out

So I have noticed when I’m driving on the way home a large bird of prey and it’s not a hawk it’s much bigger, I saw it on the ground one time whilst driving home and I have seen it ever since and yesterday driving home I saw it sitting in the top of a small tree, there wasn’t any place to park for the chance of a photo but I will try and get parked up next time and see how close I can get to it and take a photo. From what I see it’s larger than any hawk and it’s blue or grey. I’m now sure if somebody’s lost it but it’s definitely claiming a certain place as home looking over and hunting on the

Looks like a good hutch that mate and is it 6 foot long? Maybe I’ll build something like this. atb

It’s very true I haven’t noticed any difference in the working abilities in 30 years but I guess he’s got to make up something to get some publicity. Even pet ferrets can be great workers. the only difference I see these days if people trying to add more EU polecat back into the gene pool. bad points being that the eu polecats are darker to hide ticks, they are more nocturnal because the polecats like to hunt in the dark and they’re much faster if you happen to take them to work hedges there’s more chance of them running away. then there’s the point of some being nervous around people

That’s a good setup mate and definitely a bonus keeping them all together all year round.

Yes I think 6x2x2 or a 4x2x2 which would make 8x2x2 with two floors is a handy size and I definitely agree when building something you have to make sure your arms are going to fit to clean it out.

Yeah I normally go for 2 foot high so they can climb too, I think I will make a 4x2x2 double with run down next. atb

Yes I watched the video. Be handy to separate ferrets if need be.

Has anybody seen this video of Simon whitehead, the hutches look a decent size and easy to keep. But what do you think about the dimensions because they only look like a foot tall they aren’t much taller than the water bottles?

So whilst thinking of ferreting I thought I would share a few stories. Tiny polecat. So a friend and I took our ferrets out and walked a long the railway line past a quarry and you come to a wall and on top of the wall a hill and a rabbit warren of about five holes, my friend first entered his ferret which starting squealing and ran out for its life and he ran after it and caught it and then a few moments later my hob ferret did exactly the same thing. What we saw was a tiny polecat stick its head out of the hole and no lie the head on this thing was no bigger than a thumb, so

A friend and I found a polecat in a snare in a quarry many years ago and we removed the snare, we took it and put it down a rabbit hole and a rabbit ran out and the polecat ran out and grabbed it by the arse and pulled it back in, never seen a ferret so fast. At the time I couldn’t keep it and so I gifted it a Scottish guy I knew and he told me he put it down a rabbit hole and it ran out and legged it and he ran after it and he couldn’t catch it. Crazy fast! Strangest thing is that it was tame.

Thanks mate

Does anybody know if you need a gun licence to go on a paid deer stalk or can you get a licence for stalking but not having land permissions?
