  1. Where do you toe the line with all the extra's you take??? .My favourite type of ferreting is a few nets or the shotgun and a ferret and keep moving and if a ferret gets a couple of rabbits in a dead end or a rabbit moves as you break into the tube i use a bramble and just leave a few thorns on the last six inches or a stick .But i only use them to check theres a rabbit there by getting a bit of hair on the stick or the brambles them i will dig a bit more and pull the rabbit out .The old barbwire trick was best used when liner ferrets where in use but i think its rarely used today
  2. Short for Black Eyed White ferret Your silver should moult out whiter and whiter each year nearly turning to a bew so would mating him to a albino then mating the young back to him not produce what your after ???
  3. Some will eat a fox but watch out for mange personally its no worth it
  4. Sounds good but i reckon they will fly through it and the best bits will end up on the cutting room floor
  5. I think your looking at this from the wrong direction what you should be asking is ,Is my jill a good enough worker to breed from her ,if theres any question at all use a snipped hob .Theres far too many jills being mated just wait till august september and see the amount being given away free
  6. Good luck heres hoping you get her back mate
  7. Good enough price but they might need jabbed again and repeated injections of the jill jab can form hard lumps under the injection site
  8. You really miss the good ones when there gone
  9. There pregnant for a day short of 6 weeks so its early yet wait till the last week and you will see her nearly double in size
  10. Nice but is chipboard waterproof ?? i wait till i can get old floor boards and make my hutches from them heavy as f*ck but last a long long time
  11. Dont see the point of that cross myself ,still reckon youve got a large poley hob and why you got him by the SCRUFF???
  12. Same type of problem here when the sheep and lambs where first put out the crows etc where eating a lot of the pellets out the sheep troughs ,we put a large letter box trap out baited it with sliced white bread and set it after a few days and thinned then out .A larson trap would only catch one or two at a time
  13. Sounds harsh wee man and you might end up with a smaller net than you wanted but one yard of drawcord to two yards of net and your net wont miss much
  14. Why do you want to go sticking bits on a ferret box ??? keep it simple a nice bowback so it sits on your hip and dont bounce about knocking into the loads of other gear you ggot to carry about with you
  15. Ive got all colours it just makes it easy to see who's moving about on a big berry ,but there all the same under there jackets WORKERS
  16. Your ferrets still a youngster your asking a lot of it i never class a ferret as a worker till there second or third year ,your finding out now that there might be rabbits in a berry but your ferrets not going deep enough to find them and bolt them .We work six at a time but the seasons drawing to a close and the rabbits will be caught other ways shame really as ferreting gives the best buzz
  17. Looks like theres no bagging in it and your pole are bloody massive wee man
  18. A few more than that plus a jill with kitts eats a rabbit a day they soon total up
  19. Jeyes fluids changed it doesn't smell so strong now or change colour I use it let the huts dry right out then pop the ferrets back in never had a problem
  20. What im saying is if somebody is posting 10/20+ posts every day they should manage to produce one pict of what there up to or it smells real fishy to me . A anti on here could just sit and watch post crap everybody takes them in and job done .With all the gear i take out hunting or shooting the camera is the first thing i leave behind but then i take a couple of pictures with my phone .
  21. Its been the best season ever ,plenty rabbits about still looking to get 50 a month to feed the ferrets and i reckon it can be done so i wont need to buy any dry grub
  22. Ask about , somebody should have heard of them .look at there posts if they cant produce pict of them out in the field doing a bit there a anti, a dreamer or a armchair hunter.
  23. If your doing pest control you have to work them ,these type of working sort out the men from the boys ,pick a nice frosty morning .Net up or run long nets round if you fancy a quieter approach then go have a cuppa for 10/15 minutes and then pop a few ferrets in if its quiet pop a few more in and sit back till the action starts
  24. Is it somebody on this site ??do we have to guess who??
