  1. Does look a nice well made box I know where to come now when our one's finally give up the ghost
  2. Thank god these old practices are left where they need to be in the past!! The old fella seemed like quite a character though there were a lot of old boys like this around when I started ferreting in the early 70s and they were interesting to listen to like the famous jack Hargreaves loved the programme out of town
  3. Hi Micky tried the recepie you gave me for these shallots just waiting till Xmas now so I can taste one.
  4. Got a nice wild boar haunch what's the best way to cook it without drying it out and shrinking it to much?? Any ideas please don't want to ruin it
  5. As said above rabbit squirrel and feather best if possible. We do give ours more kibble is the hight of the summer due to the flies. If we have a Jill with Kitts we give them fur and feather and remove the carcass first thing in the morning. Not that there is Not a lot left with 8 hungry Kitts THEY ARE PURE EATING MACHINES
  6. I agree it is mind bending when sites are 1st changed i.e. Banks forums etc but with time you do get used to em slowly. The trouble is I'm so slow by the time I've sussed it out it's time to update the site again. Technology moves faster than I ever can
  7. Another great pic well done lads ???
  8. Great write up love seeing this type of post the young lad looks pleased as punch with himself and so he should. They are the future of our sport WELL DONE LAD
  9. It's the heat that's a killer to ferrets not the cold blueboybilly As said plenty of straw in the cage or court facing out of the wind this combined with there winter coat they will be fine and can cope with quite extreme cold. In the summer the opposite change betting to wood shavings keep cage in shade if poss if not face the back of the cage to the sun
  10. That's the way to do it mate think everyone can benefit from adding a bit of new blood to their line of ferrets now and again. Try and strive to get the best workers!!
  11. Hi Ian ahhh that makes sense now. Thanks for that thought I was having a blonde moment. The trouble is I was born in the early sixties And can use a pc But only just I'm one of them blokes that my kids say WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NOW ?
  12. That's good news we get a lot of ferret Kitts over in the uk that end up in rescue centres etc every year cos there are a minority of ferret keepers that breed cos they think they are worth money or think you have to breed the Jill's. Don't think to use Jill jab or vasectomised hob etc. My motto is if you don't need any Kitts or don't know how your going to re home them then don't breed your Jill that year. Use one of the other methods to take the Jill out of season. This prevents loads of unwanted Kitts that end up in rescue centres or even worse not looked after properly. SORRY about the bel
  13. Nice Kitts good news you have got homes for most of them already
  14. Is it just me or is any other member totally lost with this new site??? i can find the list of posts only the last 2 recent ones what am I doing wrong???
  15. I'm TOTALLY LOST with this new site

  16. We're lucky to have thousands of acres of permissions within about a ten mile radius of home so thankfully don't have to travel to far. We do get offered other permissions a lot further afield but tend to pass them on to ferreters in that area. If our permissions weren't local then yes we would travel to continue doing our rabbiting
  17. Love jack Russell's by far my favourite breed of dog loyal great workers and brilliant characters
  18. Good day there mate well done
  19. Comes and goes mate we ain't had a really good year since 2003 we have got thousands of acres of permissions but since we had that really wet spring in 2004 there's been no big numbers even on new permissions that have never been touched before. No idea what's going on BRING BACK the 70s and 80s loads about then. I'm showing my age now lol
  20. Also give the local police and rspca places a ring never know might be lucky enough that someone has found the hob wandering about it's a long shot but what's a phone call GOOD LUCK getting him back mate
  21. Even though the weather was crap looked like a great day well done mate
