i was also out for a mooch today,had been told about a few warrens about 10 miles away from me that nobody was ferreting,took a drive down this morning and seen about 12 or so rabbits in field and around 30 burrows along 2 hedge rows.on the way back home i went into farmers house and politely asked if he minded me going onto his land to catch a few rabbits and that there would be no dogs running around mad or no guns being used and if there was any digging to be done that all earth would be back filled and left as seen.well he couldnt have been happier,said he would have no problem as the rabb

how many 3.6 ft purse net can i make from a 500g spool of spun poly?

hi iam a beginner in ferreting and was wondering is a ferret finder an essential piece of equipment or just a luxury?
-
Ignore 10z, not really what you are after. Go for some spun poly. Get in touch with DDtimberproducts or the Net Loft, They will sort you out and get everything in the post to you. cheers mate,atb

my mate who trains greyhounds bought a bitch thinking it was a pure grey but says its to small for the running track and thinks it might have a bit of whippet in her,he said i could have her for nowt if i want,i am only starting out in this game,just wondered what anyone thinks about this,the dog is 15 mths old ,he says sit,stay and recall are all good,my main quarry will be hare and the ground would be small open fields.thanks

No worries mate like i said dont want to get in a tit for tat but people need to realise this is a real thret in some areas and could become a problem anywhere. totally understand about the tit for tat bit lol thanks again at least it isnt just me making all this up about them!! not directed at you with this raven, what is it they say?? ignorance is bliss?? yes i spose it is until its YOUR dog with its leg hanging off or has been necked all for the sake of a long ear then it would be these that are slating me crying whilst id be sat in my house knowing my dog is fine and dandy lai

so what your saying daks is that the farmers where you come from would put stakes in the ground and run wire across so as the dogs can get caught up in it and he would take the dog of the handler and shoot it ,then kick said crap out of handler,where do you come from? feckin beruit.

[bANNED TEXT] the f**k was that all about you need to chill out mate.

don't forget it's only permission you have,YOU DON'T OWN THE LAND,get a grip, violence has no place in this sport.

100% with you mate never right in the head , blowing a dog away in front of you, if you can live with that after all the service its give to you , and partnership through the years then on your mind be it. i will lay mine to sleep the same way they come in , the body intacted. shooting is humane but i wouldnt want to see the after math , it would be some thing i wouldnt get out of my head. my dogs are my family and i couldnt do that to any one in my family 100% all the way
