    depends on your budget , preference for mk1 or mk3 is up to yourself, i been used to the old mk1 knocker box, have bought new mk3 still getting used to it, how many collars depends on how many ferrets you have/want collars on, some dont bother, some get 1 collar for 2 ferrets & work the uncollared one, if lay up send second ferret in with collar on to get a location, regards john

    get knocking on farmers doors be polite & look the part, is there no golf courses near you ??? i have permission on 4 courses around me, i wrote a letter to secretary & visit in person as well, you could always do a bit of over the shoulder ferreting but i don't recommend it !! it is end of season so to speak so plenty of footwork is needed to get good permission, seek & ye shall find, if you don't ask yo don't get but cannot see any one agreeing to your request through here could be wrong but you never know A.T.B in your search
