  5. I may have the perfect day coming your way soon Jim.. its a little job requiring a mass attack for one day only. Ferrets,dogs,long nets and purse nets. lots of hedges and spinneys. I shall arrange it and we can have a THL ferreting meet..hopefully get young Rew to come and do some filming. if your looking for extra hands me and my mate will gladly represent the north west ??????
  6. We went over last year only to find myxi had landed we came home a day earlie,
  7. we should have providing myxi doesn't come right through
  8. Why does it have to be made public knowledge? Surely they could keep it quite only the farmer it is going to affect needs to know
  9. As with any hunting morning it starts off well before day break with a bowl of porrage and a quick slurp of coffee, then it's northbound to meet my hunting partner. Once all the relevant equipment is loaded into the van off we go, whilst meandering through the country lanes as dawn broke we watched 2 barn owls, 1 hunting the other being mobbed by a couple of crows. Once at our chosen destination we collared the ferrets up,got our gear together, including my mates best friend in his pocket we hadn't gone far when the farmer caught us up the quad on his way to check on some stock, he said there
  10. Right lads what's your gym routines here's mine
  11. Maybe something for the mods to see if they can sort it out
  12. After lining a total of 5 Jill's to 3 different hobs and not providing a single kit I asked on here for any advise but none came, so a chat to my vet came up with the possible problem septicocklecanulas ( not sure if that's how it's spelt) an internal infection, so a 5 day course of clavudale 50 mg anti- biotics should clear it up, then he advised re dosing upon mating next spring, so fingers crossed it works otherwise a bloodline 30years old could be lost, cheers Neil b

    If you share your permission with fellow hunters ferret that first then move onto your own permission, there's nothing worse than starting the season off really well then tailing off at the end

    Keep all the same colour nets the same length for example, red = 3ft blue=3ft 6 green=4ft ect that way your not going through your net bag looking for a suitable net,
  15. Got my coat this morning, highly recommended and good chap to deal with
  16. yes he's been used between 3 of us for a good few seasons, a trip to the clap clinic then
  17. Well after the 5th Jill not looking like going to produce any kits, all to different hobs me and my mate wondered if it would be possible that all our Jill's have been lined by the same vasectomised hob for a good couple of seasons would he maybe pass an infection onto all the Jill's making them infertile? It seems very strange that we haven't produced a single kit, cheers Neil b
  18. I'm just waiting on a Jill now, 10 days left, I've used a hob from outside our line now so fingers crossed if not il have to make do next season with a few ageing members of our team
  19. Quite possible 2 years ago she had. Young and was very protective with them,
  20. After 3 Jill's missed to 3 different hobs we lined a polecat Jill to a different hob only for her to miss too, she showed all the signs, last Thursday night she had a bloody discharge at feeding time so I though the next morning would see a nest full but not a single kit. Our last hope is a Jill due in about 10 days,
  21. If your happy with her mate breed her!
