First Patterdale pup 8weeks old
-
2 x Dark polecat / dark fidget jills wanted now. (no hobs); Somewhere between 8 - 12 weeks old ideally Will have an A* home for life Not necessarily looking for freebies, looking for good ferrets so willing to pay "but don't want my pants pulled down over the price!" Looking in the North Wales, West Midlands or Cheshire area. Please PM me if you have some nice kits or know of any going. Thanks, T42.

I use a game bag with the flap open tucked behind the bag for easy access then just flip it close when finished or moving between places. Works for me.

Great watch. Sometimes you can get lost in the modern advances of today, but as said, a lot of things said those 30 odd years ago (and way before, from the people who taught him) are still the first things you should learn and practice today.

Also try australian hunting net. I've been living in Sydney for the last 12 months and the guys on there have been really good to me. Had heaps of lads offering days out with them. nice bunch the Aussies, just provide them with beer and they are happy! Atb T42

Fitness And Conditioning (Skycat) Running Dog Maintenance
T42 replied to paulus's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Brilliant read. Very informative. Thanks Skycat. -
Ye your right, i haven't got a firearms licence that is valid over here. I was working out the city a bit today in Rockdale so didn't get to the park. I will have a look at that forum though thanks mate. Would love to see how things are done over here. I will probably travel around Australia before going home. Hopefully to see a bit more, and get a bit more hunting in.

Top pics mate and some top dogs too.

How you going mate. Welcome to the site. I am spending a year in Australia, been here since march this year. Currently living and working in Sydney. Trying to sort out and get into some hunting over this side of the world. Very much like youse of I am a small game hunter. Rabbits by ferret, long net, lurcher and rifle and foxes on the rifle too. Been busy fishing here and also took a trip over to Nz and did a bit over there too. Any pointer as to how to get involved this side would be great. Cheer mate.

Thanks for your responses, I ended up calling the vet. She took blood tests and took her into the surgery for a scan that night...Turned out it was not heat stroke, the little nipper was riddled with a tuma. So unfortunatlely I had to let her go... not ashamed to say I shed a tear for her as she was a good ferret, not just working, temperment and character too... That's life though... Tvm, T42.

*HELP* VERY ILL FERRET... Jill. 2 Yrs old. Not in season. No life in her whatsoever. Breathing quick. having full body convultions and seems as though can't control bodily functions. Has been in a run with three other ferrets... all of the others are 100%. 30 minutes ago, She has drunk a tiny little bit of water. had two small pieces of meat but has sicked them back up. She can raise her head and just about move around, but by that i mean crawl. nothing more. just lays still. Any help or ideas what I can do? Thinking that maybe she has sunstroke or has eaten som

Don't take this the wrong way, but have you done any research into owning a ferret? In reality you're pissing in the wind with one ferret. You'll knacker him/her out in 2 hours. It will be running round the warren in circles trying to get rabbits bolting and just using up energy bustin it's back for nothing. You need two atleast! no more hasssle to keep or maintain and definitely worth their weight in gold. you say acquring a ferret... what do you mean by this? you're getting given an old one or you're going to buy a young one? Ensure you are going to give the ferret the best possi

Obviously through the use of the knocker box and collar combo means wear and tear... and also the leather collar gets wet and mucky. Now obviously when i get back i clean it in warm water to remove the mud etc but then let it dry out naturally. i don't force it on the radiator. This cycle obviously means the leather becomes coarse and the inner face of the collar becomes (over time) brittle. i have used saddle soap on the outer but not sure about using it on the inner...? I know you obviously use boot polish to protect your leather boots against damp ingress etc. but your b

I use the old MK1 knocker box and collars. Always spot on. Reliable. Battery in the collar and box has been in for over a year now! Never failed. my ferreting partner uses the MK3 and collar... so far so good. Excellent locate and search function to be fair, hope it proves to be a good en! It's a hinderence having to re-lay the nets every time a ferret passes so it's about time an alternative locator came into the equation... Something like a microchip in the neck or in a very thin collar is a long time overdue, but it would have to be a superb bit of kit for me to replace the Old MK1

Did you go out today? If so how did you fair?

her retrieving has come on leaps and bounds! she has finally stop all that nonsense dropping short and now delivers straight to hand, we are still working on holding until I'm ready but she is getting there She came out ferreting with us on sunday. I wasn't to sure on when to bring her out but spoke to Simon Whitehead at Midlands game fair for some advice and he said he has his pups out with him from as young as 4months!! she soon learnt the game, ferret goes in rabbit comes out. she ran the first 3 which went into the long net and you could see her confidence grow, and she ended up catching

.22 - rabbit 243 for fox and deer. Granted both of them but not allowed to shoot deer with the 243 until I contact them in writing with proof of permission. Still granted for fox though.

As above, I will be buying my first rifle in the very near future which is more than likely going to be a .22 Sako Quad pro hunter. With the rifle sorted I was after some advice on optics ...... What is the best scope I could buy for around £200? and whilst we are here what can people recomend in the way of moderators? again for around the same sort of money . . . . . . Many Thanks T42

Thanks birddog i will look into that.
