G;Day Mate I live in Melbourne have been longnetting for many years now in my late 70's not getting out much theses days but happy to hand on any info if I can help

Raw chicken never fails for me

does anyone have a good treatment for corns on greyhounds feet i have had to make up boots out of soft leather & foamrubber to ease pressure on bitches feet

newspaper over the whole floor weld mesh over that to stop them scratching up, to clean take out mesh roll up paper job done.been using it for over 60 years with out a problem

it's not the corn so much it's the cob that can can not be digested

hi I made up one a few years ago using a car central locking system connected to a small 12v battery.I mounted a solenoid on every 4th pole so that each one pulled out 3 pins that way there was not to much pressure required. then dropped the net using the remote that came with the system I know this is a bit hard to follow so if I can find any photos I will put them on but it was a few years ago.system worked well where there was no cover & could be dropped from a distance

Got my first ferret at 8 yrs old ,came home from school & mum said see had a surprise for me.She had found a ferret in her hen house & had put a drum over it ,bloody thing bie hell out of me.But I got a cage made ,a carry box out of an old banana case, & Dad showed me how to make nets out of any old twine I could find.I am now73yrs old & have never been without a ferret in the back yard.I have 10 at the moment but because of health problems they would not know what a rabbit looks like,but hope that changes soon

also works on foot root in ferrets although you do not see it much these days

reminded me of my childhood days in the 40's & 50's

G'Day and welcome from Melbourne Oz I also hunt with springers & pcpair rifles

hope you know that it gets into your blood .I got my first ferret when 8 years old am now 73 & have 14 working ferrets

If you are able to build a cage ,you would be ok making a carry box, then if you check on the netting section you will find a net making pinned section.then to start all you need are the ferrets & shovel ,a locater can come later

I have found the rabbits will run over the net with no trouble at all,it is ideal in orchards where a drop net can get caught on the trees.also can be set & left without being to visable.easy to makeup give it a go

Have known Brian for quiet a while,He has stayed with me twice while holidaying in Australia.He introduced me to the quickset method also the dropnet & last time over helped me make up the lift system which I find very usefull in an area that has little cover, as you can lift from a long distance away . I also use his longnets that he brings over for me to try & have found them to be of good quality, Kevi

had the outside back toe removed on my greyhound a few years ago ,has not effected her speed but she does tend to loose traction on sharp turns arse spins out a bit
