  1. Yea and if you don't use guns or a dog even easier. As what harm can you do with a ferret and and few nets. I also mention at worst it will be just me and some times my two daughters when I bribe them to come so they don't expect a mob of blokes turning up. Mind you I would love too have a ferreting dog like the old days bit of a struggle with out I also have Country Cover insurance which cost 20 quid so I wave my certificate about at least it helps prove you slightly responsable
  2. Having her a bit wary and keeping out the way of the ferrets is a good thing. Less chance of her being nipped and one day retaliating. My little Russell would cover a hole in the hedge and when the ferret came out he would be out the hedge in a jiffy rather than be in a confined space with a ferret which was fine. He had a nice healthy respect for them but wouldnt think twice going toe to toe with a fox in the old days of course
  3. kizzy but I did call my first terrier moses I don't think he ever for gave me
  4. you got that right. Sounds like he peppered one of them just as well for him he didn't kill him though doubt he would walk free if he had even if he was right too do so
  5. Sounds like they have a good home now just get a bigger hutch sorted. Not sure about the dog food mine have dried ferret food and rabbit when I get it. But they do enjoy a dog biscuit as a treat
  6. Yea they love too come out. This is jeff having a run I might sod the ferreting and taking him lamping instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_hMixhwEqI
  7. Ok cheers for the info I will keep my eyes open
  8. I don't know my mushrooms very well so try and stick too the field mushrooms. Just walked a few fields and didn't see any thing yet
  9. Mine love toys it keep them busy contantly changing over old cerial boxes and egg box s etc for them. They love an old welly too dig into as well. I change things around so they don't get bored. I have too be careful what I do rig up though as my hob has a death wish so things need too be very safe. Any boxes that go into the recycling go too the ferrets first apart from any thing like washing powder boxes and that. One goes in the box and digs and the other jumps up and down on top of it funny as hell
  10. Any tips on finding some field mushrooms and is the about the time of year too be looking ? I remember as a kid horses fields were good is that true ? I have noticed they do seem too come and go
  11. She was great her best night as I remember was 21 but that was one night I was just greedy. She thought nothing of storming up the inside of hedge after a rabbit when they thought they were home and dry when we were lamping
  12. I never measured to be honest but she was small here she is next too my old JR and he had no problem getting too foxes underground as a comparison
  13. The grandmother lost her bedlington whippet once. So on the off chance I drove about 4 miles up the road with the lamp and started covering some fields I had worked her on in the past. Kept flashing the lamp and giving a little whistle then spotted two little eyes coming towards me and it was her. Over the bloody moon and very lucky
  14. Why would people poach foxes not like there good for any thing though once upon a time you could sell the pelts but obviously not this time of year
  15. I wouldn't worry she will be fine as a kid this little thing was a demon. She wasn't fast due too her size maybe but more than made up for it when the turning started Perfect for the catching for the pot and no trouble what so ever
  16. I like that very tidy did you draw some sort of plan up before you started ? The one I made I sort of made it up as I went but I am useless at diy. Saying that it turned out ok in the end and it will outlast my bought one
  17. Out of interest why do you use Plain Flour (1/4 Cup) Corn Flour (1/4 Cup) Are they both used for thickening or does the corn flour do some thing else as well ?
  18. Great report enjoyed reading that. Lovely looking land there too. Unlucky forgetting the nets I tend too do that with bait for fishing
  19. Didn't you find them a bit tough cooking for so long ?
  20. They look delicious I will give the pasties a go. I don't mind rabbit but mostly eat it because I enjoy catching them so I am all ways looking too find some thing that tastes exceptional. Pigeon on the other hand I love. Thanks for taking the time for such a good post and that book is a nice touch
  21. As I recall many moons ago I all ways tried too position my self between the rabbits and home on the lamp eg at the bottom of the hill and work up. To try and tilt things in the dogs favour as much as possible. Not all ways possible obviously. Nothing more scary than watching your beloved dog hurtle over the brow of a hill and down some deadly slope
  22. In a word yes Cant fault the gun I love it and would get another fills the freezer and cost me quid for the gun
