  1. now, not wanting to spoil your introduction to the pastime of shooting, but you are a little confusing, your posting under the name of danny over on pigeon watch, and have asked exactlly the same questions over there, permission wanted, roost shooting with an air rifle, and shot woodies wanted, now theres nothing wrong in that at all, but it gets fishy when you posted most of that on the 25th last month, yet when I leave a post asking questions quote; (copied from my post in PW) practise on targets before moving onto live quarry, its called having respect for what your shooting, soun
  2. sorry, but why would you send items out before recieving a cleared payment
  3. but at the end of the day, no forum rules have been broken, if any, its members that accept on sending postal orders or items by post, rather than follow the forums guidelines of only every using paypal to transfer money, and NOT MARKING IT AS A GIFT, as then any problems, your protected as a buyer/seller people that go into a "deal" by any other means, are in fact, keeping the con merchants in buisness, either do face to face transactions, or paypal only, and all these failed "swaps" would cease
  4. I have the extending large harris, around 24" and and full height,me in sitting position, its bang on
  5. no ones asked you the age of the ferret if it was a kitt, then some of the advice above does work, plenty of handling, full stomach, knuckle to back of throat etc if however, its fully grown, last years maybe, or older, and you have only just aquired it, then Id say its a biter, that someone has passed onto you, plenty will say you can train an adult out of it, Id say, why waste time and bite marks, there will be plenty of new kitts on these forums in a few months time, get one of those instead
  6. in answer to your question, NO, its a normal SGC if it will hold more than 3 carts, then it becomes a sec 1 fac
  7. Ive cleaned up this topic for you hollie, seems it got taken over by pest controllers and sport ferreters, we can never agree on this, Ive locked the topic, therefore if anyone wants to help you, they can pm you directly
  8. including your location helps, you may find someone nearby

  10. your location and max price may help get you replies
  11. any size you want to build it, normally best to have at least two entrances with bobbin wires
  12. right, for starters, when replying to posts, try pressing the reply button just ONCE, so we dont get multiple reply posts the same secondly, Ive been leaving the ferret section to go along by itself of late, and letting a few "wrong" posts slip by, but I for one(as well as admin) cannot stand trying to figure out what a post says, because of the amount of text talk/shorten words in it, now reading through these 4 pages, its not just "the big oz" but, Ill say it again, after reading this post, go and read the forum rules, on TEXT TALK, some will probably say they are just shite spellers, we
  13. to be honest, I don't think its a good pic, but thats just my opinion, laying them down under the rifle, I think shows a bit more respect for the quarry, rather than positioning them in a comical way as though still alive, clearly others feel the same as me, as 75 views of this post, yet this is only the 2nd reply
  14. why would you need to aim a foot high if you know your going to be shooting at 100yds, then zero in at 100yds, dead bunnies every time,knowing your mildots/hold over/hold under means theres no need to aim a foot high, if rabbits appear at 60yds, its simply 5 clicks down on my scope,
  15. maybe its down to how you come across in the interview with the FAO then, as yes I mentioned pest control job, would be a fool not too, but also asked for an "open ticket" on first application, had 2 pieces of land with permission, and yes, recieved my open ticket, although was refussed a section 1 shotgun,
  16. spoken like a true non pest controller, so what bait/poison is there, that rats wont die from far better using either live catch traps, or mk4 fenn traps baited with peanut butter
  17. it would have been far better to ask these questions/read books etc before buying a ferret read the rules on text talk on this forum
  18. are you a working fully quailified pest controller, or do you do pest control in your free time? as if its the first, then it may help you to get an open ticket on first application, but as already stated, you'll still need that first bit of land
  19. I too am up for making home made stuff, I used a green filter from an unknown source, and cut it down to fit my nightsearcher, works great, green is the best colour for us humans to focus our eyes on at night, and the normal lamp shy rabbits did'nt start running when the lamp was on them however, leaving the lamp switched on, for too long a perion, saw the green filter melt back to the drawing board
  20. needs a price to stay here, read the rules for offers, sell it on e bay
  21. also, having a bead would be pointless, as the modded barrel is not true to your aim, with my pedretti hushpower (full modded barrel) if Im shooting a stationary target, I simply aim/point at the very top, ie rabbits ears/pigeons head, as the shot is lower, if using on a moving target, its slightly harder, as not only do you need to give it some lead, but then also move the aim higher, to compensate the moderator, at 30yds the bulk of shot will hit 4" lower than my aiming point, its all trial and error with a modded shotty, but it dosent take long to sort it out with a few practise shots,
  22. I picked up my pedretti hushpower 410, second hand for £200, keep your eye out for one of those, great gun to use in noise issue areas, specialy when used with sub-sonic carts mine's in the swap section, looking for an un-modded o/u 410 as my permissions dont have noise issues anymore
  23. You giving up stubby ???? no,lol, I have a large int and ext court, a big block of cages, another large kennel and cages if needed, plus that one, and getting gbh from the missus to tidy my end of the garden so she can move her poly tunnel its bloody heavy though, top made from an old anderson shelter
