    1.I have worked ferrets for a few years and only recently purchased a locator (last three seasons), so while they are a great piece of kit the absence of one does not prevent you from ferreting imho. Obviously large warrens pose greater problems when not using a locator if the ferret lies up . 2. Usually I only have trouble with having to reset nets when ferrets are wearing collars, normally without collars they slip through the meshes without disturbing the net, although i hasten to add not every time . Are they large ferrets? Do the nets have small mesh size? 3/4. Rabbits do not a

    www.totalfishinggear.co.uk Try a look in here mate. I have the Force 8 extreme and find it a nice bivvy and quick to erect (which is a bonus in winter). The only downside to this bivvy is that it's a bit tight for two bedchairs so maybe next time i will go for the giant. ATB Mick

    Don't know if it is still available but we always used sulfamezathine(forgive the spelling it has been a few year), it seemed to work great but cocci needs to be caught sooner rather than later for quick/effective treatment. ATB Mick

    Hi, i found this on the web, hope it helps What are the symptoms? Swelling is usually the main symptom. This can especially happen on the muzzle of the dog if it gets stung on the face. Your dog may also be yelping in pain or pawing at the sting site. What should I do? First, you want to get the stinger out if it was a bee. Go get some tweezers and try to see if it's still in the dog. Look for the swollen area or around where the dog seems to be aggravated. Sometimes the stinger may not be there, as it will have been pulled out already. You need to check, though, because gettin

    Hi bell, don't know if it's the done thing but we have a large plastic barrel with a pheasant spring feeder fitted to the bottom and the wild ducks love it.Took them no time at all to start using it. We fill it fortnightly as it's a long travel to pond from home so can't hand feed the pond. Used this method for three years (now thinking of adding another) and always good numbers of duck on the pond so they must be happy enough. ATB Mick

    Just my opinion but i think at 4 months old there is plenty time, i taught mine to sit stay (at meal times) and recall in the garden first,any retrieving that may (or may not )occur at this age is during his play time. Never had field trial winners but have been happy with the companions i ended up with for rough shooting. Atb with him in the future mate. Mick
