They're all back together in the new court i made them.... no bug changes on day to day looking after though Shavings on the floor, shredded paper in the bed, grub and clean water.....

Well Leanne I think it's plain to see how craigyboy was thought of on here, he was genuinely liked...... And he was genuinely liked by people who have never met him....That may seem mad to some but craigyboy was someone who you could connect with through his posts they made me laugh out loud at times....... What everyone has said here are not hollow promises and I know when the correct process has been set the lads and lasses on here will give generously to one of our own......... The special garden is great idea and I hope it comes out exactly as you would want it......

I use the old mk1 my ferreting partner uses the mk3m and I'm thinking of upgrading he's had no problems neither has another lad I go with who uses the mk3m..........

Nice couple of days there mate... -
Ideation: I agree with you on the hole hopping, I don't think we cover as many holes as you in the hedge ( judging from your earlier posts) but try to cover as many of the runs as possible. I've tried in the past to work the terrier on top, she will catch bolters in the top of the hedge but I've found the ones that are missed are reluctant to bolt further along the hedge. I also prefer the odd rabbit that tries to make the long escape across the field to be ran by the lurcher. Weasel I can see the benefit of using long nets when on your own ferreting, I tend to avoid hedges on my o

We made that hole to get in to the hedge and work from the inside. The one we did the week before was holly and hawthorn, 60 yards long and with only 8" clearance between the top of the bank and the base of the hedge. that's simailar to the new bit of permision I whent on the other day, only difference being on mine they have sheep fencing around the hedge so cant get get in there!! Any sugestions? The only other thing I can think of is using snares but I've never used them, and I really want this permison for ferreting but just can't get into the hedge! A lot of ours has sheep fenci

Shame you had to stop early mate, but sounds like you've got a good day in the future there...

Cheers lads Stealthy: your not wrong mate any digging would be a nightmare the bottom of the hedges are big rock boulders.....luckily they was no digging on Sunday, just a bit of waiting lol
-
Good write up lads and nice end of day pic
-
Good post mate you come accross like a decent youngster...... I'm sure ideation and Johnny will share there knowledge and experiances for a day on what looks like nice land..... Good luck and look forward to reading about your trip

No moon to be seen down here thick cloud and a breeze, good luck to those who are out
-
Out on a new bit tonight, just got the all clear from the farmer........ The weather good at the minute here hope the cloud stays, not so fussed about the torrential rain lol
-
Cheers for the replies lads Cookie: 90% of our permission is hedges so we've not got a lot of choice, it's Oct now so it's a case of getting in amongst it and doing the best you can............. plus I'm not happy on a Monday unless I'm covered in scratches Sirus: We give each other a load of stick if we miss 1 , Sunday was a bit of a mooch we waited for the dogs to mark and done sections of the hedge rather than working 1 end to the other. As the season progresses we'll work the entire hedge, stop net the end and purse, run nets in the hedge. The dogs are invaluable on these hedge

No worries mate

exactly...even though this site is full of helmets there are some proper decent people on here aswell. Thats what I was tactfully trying to say

Fair play to you getting him out there and having a go mate...... As said pick your nights and pick your runs for the minute give him the best chance you can..... Shake the lamp when the rabbit nears the hedge it often puts them off and they make mistakes, they'll hit the hedge,bank, fence whatever if your dogs up their ass it'll work to his advantage, I don't know what land you run but if you've got some small paddocks around with tight hedges or sheep netting concentrate on these they'll suit him more as I would think. I run a fairly small dog mate and she don't miss a lot if you stack the o

Sounds a good enough day to me mate..... And your new fert done you proud
-
Sorry to hear that Rob but nice one Redtail....... Another time this site shows what this hunting game is about........... Good luck with the new fert hope he does you proud

One of mine lost a lot of hair this year both the lads I regularly ferret with had jills that lost hair too, more than normal, mines all back now, in fact her coat looks great. Should be nothing to worry about mate other than crazy woman hormones lol
-
Cheers All Sean, it was pretty rough mate, I've got the typical hands after the day before , the ferret was a pain in the ass mate cost us a bit of time... still a good day..... I'll speak to you soon about a day, got a big hedge on a bit between the pair of us it's too thick at the minute, we'll have a look after a couple of frosts.....
-
Know what you mean on that mate, we catch the majority in the run nets on the top, you just can't get at some of the holes to net them. Tend to use a long purse net ( 1 peg) and not pokes with 2 pegs, I did ask on here before about the D ring fronted nets and if people had used them.... Not tried them but could be useful...... We didn't miss any yesterday, more luck than judgement I reckon.... Cheers Kev
