sorry pal i got rid of the ferrets as couldnt get permission anywhere, tried all over moray, still cant get permission for rabbit control either

tried mine together a few days ago and my jill beat the shit of the hob biting him on the back of the neck and following him about everywhere, poor fella was well upset with her

always good to see a lad and his dad out hunting, my boy prefers call of duty so my 6 yr old daughter now takes his place!!

have a mooch about any building sites nearby always plenty of off cuts laying about, i help myself to whats discarded, got enough pipe now for my ferts to walk to america!!

just wanted to check in again and make sure im giving my ferrets what i should be, this is the routine i currently have going with them. My hob and jill are both in seperate hutches outside, i clean them out first thing in the morning, while i do this both are given the chance to run about the house with my JRT and have a wee play about. Water bottles changed, crapping area cleaned out, fresh kibble placed in bowl. I spend about an hours quality time with ferts giving them some ferritone and a quick brush. Both ferts have been given spot on earlier in August. Ferts back into hutch i go of

a pal of mine went away for a week and got his dad to take care of the ferrets when he came back his dad told him that one of them had somehow got out and he found it roaming around the garden (a large hob) so he put it back in the hutch, my pal opened the hutch and found he had an additional ferret, the large hob his dad put back in the hutch was an escapee from another hutch somewhere in the town, but the hob looked well chuffed he had been locked up with a couple of ladies for a week!!!

Hi, looking for rabbiting permission in the Moray area or to join others, i have a van, night vision, rifles, ferrets, longnets, all the gear required for a good session.

Hi guys, found this advert on Gumtree so putting the word out to any Scottish lads:- http://www.gumtree.com/p/pets/ferret-found/1027117585

i took my kits on a "training day" today, i went to a well used warren that i shoot every weekend, i netted up and put my gill down first, collar on i showed her the hole and she flew down, quick as flash she appeared at another exit, i walked over and she was more than happy for me to pick her up and i put her down another another hole. This went on for about 20 minutes, i couldnt believe how quickly she would appear at various other exit holes, bolt hole etc. I then swapped over to my hob and exactly the same, and he was quite happy for me to pick him up and place him down other holes, no is

i've just got back from taking my kits out in a nearby field, no holes just wasteland, put thier collars on and let them roam about, both of them just followed my jack russell about and then rolled about in the grass and chased each other about, not bothered at all about the collars at all....result

great tips here will put the collars on my kits tomorrow!!

i've looked about and put the word out for other local ferreters but heard nothing back yet, i only moved back to this part of Scotland in April after 22 years away in the submarine service so quite a few local hunters that are older and bolder than i am are still "sussing me out", which is fair enough, i have no issues working alone anyway but like you said an extra pair of eyes or an experienced ferreter to slap me around the ears when i get it wrong wouldnt go a miss

cheers Pie-Eater I just purchased one of his books off Amazon for £19.00 on your recommend, having watched him on youtube its fairly obvious he's what I would class as an "expert" on ferreting, thanks for the tip I didn't even think to look up if he had a book out until you mentioned it

cheers Norseman, I managed to find a locator and collars on the forum today so hopefully ill get them early next week and test them out a few times prior. So far so good my 2 year old JRT no longer see's them as an easy kill since the old boy that gave them to me also had a Jack Russell so they are used to the dog hassling and sniffing them. A good success earlier today was that the two kits and my terrier all tucked in together eating a bunny I shot this morning, the dog making sure he got more than the lions share, but hey its a start for the team.

Hello all, i've just been given a couple of polecats from an old boy down the road from me who is in his 80's and says he's too old to keep ferrets, he gave me a couple of 6 week old ferrets a hob and a jill and 2 hutches, food and about 40 purse nets just about everything. I've been shooting bunnys for over 20 years and would often throw a few his way for his ferrets, i guess thats why he he offered them to me. Before i get shot to shit i have no intention of taking them out until i know what im doing, which will hopefully be in a few months. I've chatted to the old boy about ferreting for
