My old jr marking he new to be quiet and keep to the side of a hole very smart fella. Around here a rabbit will rarely dash far out of cover anyway as a rule lurcher has no chance at least a terrier can get back in cover and put it to ground again.
-
that's bloody brilliant love it even the music is spot on
-
Some interesting points of view nice to read both sides terrier or lurcher. I would all ways go for a terrier simply due to size and the fact they can get in any cover and under or through any fence. The only thing that would stop me now a days is the fact if it was a good terrier it would go to ground on either a fox or worse so when I replace my cocker it will be a whippet cross only due too that fact
-
terrier would be good for that and they can get under the sheep/pig wire as a rule As for the training just get them out as much as possible with the ferrets and spend lots of one on one time they soon catch on
-
Terriers make great ferreting dogs as they will hunt the rabbits up in thick cover and put them too ground and mark. They can obviously due to there size get in any cover unlike a lurcher. If you miss a rabbit with the nets when it bolts they will just put it too ground again or a good one will any way. It might not be so keen to bolt second time round but it is efficient. My only concern in this day and age would be badgers as they seem to be every where now a days

Mine was just good for latching onto my jack Russell who was actually a great worker

I use the mesh boards from here http://www.agouti-nets.co.uk/category/41-mesh-boards 2 1/4 inch ones and the net I am making at the moment is 12 meshes but I will be adding a half a mesh either side for selvedge

Maybe do a couple of purse nets to get started then start your longnet if you want a 100 yards set you need to knit 200 yards. I would do a couple of 50 yarders so thats a 100 yards. Hazel is fine for pegs You would need a tad over two spools of twine like this for a 100 yards of net to give you a 50 yarder http://www.agouti-ne...-long-net-twine I would make sure you are happy with your knots before starting the net though very frustrating to find your knots are rubbish 20 yards in oh and don't plan on using it this season unless you have loads of spare time. There will be much more ex

Lol you don't want a terrier to go to ground for rabbits thats what a ferret is for. Did you bang your head or some thing
-
Or just forget the hole and use a couple of cunningly placed 5 yard stop nets they are very handy to have in the bag and catch well
-
Agouti has the videos you need get started as well as the kits http://www.agouti-nets.co.uk/tutorials

The machine nets catch fine if they are made correctly like this one was and not by me but so do the home made ones But I do find the home made ones very nice to handle plus you have the satisfaction side of things. So my favourite net is the home made because it feels nice and I made it so I am slightly biased even if it is far from perfectly made But they both work fine
-
I am double knotting a long net at the moment because for the life of me I have no luck with single knots and I want to be happy with the net when I finish in 2017

If some thing happens you need to know who it was and the only thing that will do that is cctv and a half tidy dvr and camera will about cost about 150 but it would be worth it. Other wise you wont have a clue who it was and there won't be sod all you can do or prove
-
When I replace my cocker I was thinking of a terrier for ferreting as my best ferreting dog as a youngster was a jack Russell But in them days if he went to ground and you had to dig some thing out it wasn't the end of the world. But now a days I dont think I would get one because badgers are ever where and in some very public places so that would be a disaster waiting to happen
-
If you make so there is no weakness she should just give in
-
same as ferrets really every time you pop them down a hole it could be the last time you see them but that's what they are for and enjoy
-
I know which is the top and bottom well most of the time but when I go to peg the bottom line some times it is easy to get a mesh caught (at night) as well which gives you a tight spot Also your running lines should be in a big loop not separated
-
Lamping is extremely risky for a dog lost my best luncher one night and if I ever get another I will be extremely careful where I go with the lamp
-
I would agree with that makes it much more enjoyable if the ferret is happy to be handled by you and you work as a team rather than a ferret that is nervous of being handled and you have too watch your fingers all the time
-
Hi Tom if you just use the search on this section of the forum with any topic you need to know about it should bring up plenty of reading
-
Try cock tail sticks to pin the net on to the wood enough

The daughters x boy friend

I would agree with that I am sure they have and do exist. But when you think what is required it would be one clever dog. It would have to nip around the edge of the field then quarter the field back to you and also not give chase or miss any ground and all in darkness. I could picture a sheep dog type being a good bet as that is they way they work sheep but a big ask. Unless you just meant for company in which case I would leave it at home. Stealth is key
