    thanks to all for replies. I have never had insurance, only went pigeon shooting as a kid to feed my ferret!! And have only just got into shooting, lurchers and ferreting more recently and am just starting out. I do have some permission already and it was my intention to get insurance ready for this season, I mean who at 16 with no guidance from anyone else goes out with an air rifle and thinks maybe they should have insurance!?! The offence: I was in a field just off a public footpath (had jumped over a stream onto private land), the air rifle was not loaded at the time but was being

    I was 16 (so considered a child by police) and it was a first offence so they couldn't really have given me any more, it's a non-specified offence so considered not serious by them. Also - I had to admit the offence really because I was caught red-handed by the police themselves, think I had been seen by someone in the houses at the top of the field and they must have called the police. And yes, I admitted to the caution on the application, I spoke to the inspector about this when he came out to the house, and although he did'nt see it as a problem I presume the decision isn't up to hi

    just to add - for the above offence i only received a police reprimand

    applied for my licence a few months ago for it to be declined due to the fact that when i was 16 I was caught trespassing with an air rifle (not shooting or anything was only seen walking with it) I am now 21 and they said that I cannot re-apply for a "reasonable period of time". I wrote a very strong letter asking why it had been declined, informed them of the reasons for me applying ( to inherit my grandads old guns and also to further my hunting) and also asked them to re-consider my application, which they said they did but still declined. I had my house inspected, had the gun cabinet in

    This is an excellent little van 2005 (05) reg. It gets 60+ MPG and is only insurance group 1. It's very nippy and has never let me down. It has recently had a full service which included the cam belt, alternator belt and all filters etc. 82000 miles It is in excellent overall condition, there are the odd very small dints to the exterior but barely noticable. The cab area is in very good condition, I have always had seat covers on both seats so they are clean and mark free. The back has a cage guard, ideal for dogs which is what I've used it for, or for safety of your equipment as the ba

    This place always brings a smile to my face. This has got to be a regular on the wind up.. very good. I dont believe for 1 minute anyone is this stupid. Well i'm off to prepare the dogs salads, dont want them turning into stock worriers. Yours in sport Pernod I wouldn't do that mate, never know when you might get permission on a farm growing lettuces, you'd be f****d then. brilliant

    Theres very little cover, it's literally grass verges all the way down one stretch without any hedges This is going to be the last time for this season.

    Wish I'd never posted this now ! Anyway - thanks for all the advice to those who contributed well. I'll be out this weekend, the first and last time there until next season. And suppose I'll be prepared to dig but fingers crossed I won't need to. Then I'll have a word with the farmer let him know what's happening see if he wants them shooting or snareing in the meantime. Although, don't want to spoil next years sport Will put pics up as soon as poss after the weekend let you all know how I got on Happy hunting

    How's it going over there in Cukoo land? Back to the topic - one thing always strikes me. If your in desperate need of going ferreting to keep the numbers down, to keep permission, to me it suggests one of a number of things. Either - - It's permission you have just got in summer and so need to make a sudden and visible impact. - You're doing a pretty poor job over winter and need to take a look at what you are doing and what you promise. - You have too much land and over stretched yourself, again making promises you can not keep. Discuss. It's new permission, only

    Funny both my dogs get raw meat and both are stock broken, it's the training and how they're brought up, not the snap! And with ferrets it don't make any difference what they're fed, they are killers regardless of what they're fed on and it's just sometimes they lay up sometimes they don't. Sureley best way is to feed them a bit before you go so they aren't starving, whether it be meat or dry food. Mine get a mixture.

    Thanks for all the replies, only just really started ferreting this year and so got very limited permission, therefor want to hold on to all that I do have - which I why I suppose you get the worst jobs first and gradually work you way up to 'better' permission, hopefully by next season I will have somewhere that I can use the dog etc. but for now, looks like I'll be doing some digging this weekend

    You might be right, all it does it lower testosterone levels which doesnt always eliminate aggression, as that could be there for a different reason. My dog won't be getting done anyway
  16. lurcherterrierferret
    no think its a tenner, or £8 if ur competing the dogs
  17. lurcherterrierferret
    Might ask if he wants them shooting instead. He won't let us use the dogs

    Thinking of going out this weekend, but don't want to be met with lots of young, though from what I have seen the first lot of young seem to be about 1/2 grown round here? Is it a bad idea? Should I leave it til next season, just don't want to lose the permission as landowner wanted them off as they're causing hell to his crops.
  19. lurcherterrierferret
    Mine's only 11 months and already showing signs of agression I can't see having his balls off making any difference, he's aggressive through fear when on the lead, and doesn't like it when boistrous dogs come over to him, or me

    My JRT was like this, don't just throw em in, mine once fell in and panicked so much she nearly drown mate and it might just make him even more scared of it. It's just time they'll go in eventually try him in shallow water first put him in it and try and show him it aint that bad, hot days are the best time to do this as they'll see how nice the water is too cool them down.
