    Aye good luck not easy at time. Vary the sheep and circumstances too. You can walk them round the same shep daily for 5 months and be bang on. Then go some where else on a frosty morning ferreting and walk over the brow of hill and see half dozen running up the valley bottom and its a different ball game again Then you get the sly ones that know what a long line is all about.

    Ray is right I reckon it is not nice but you have no choice but even that may not work with some like mine. So collar is next best thing and better as you having the timing on your side. Use continuous not pulse or it might run through it. It might take a few goes some times but every time it sets off bang it won't take many goes. In the mean time never give it the opportunity again with out a collar be cause each time it goes it will be harder.Get a long line on. Plus a walloping after the event is not ideal and too late really

    All ways like to give the dog a rag back in the day where's the harm as long as it's dispatched first. Not so important once there going but no reason not too. This was back in the early eighties when we had a bit more freedom and weren't forced to recycle ffs Even now with the ferrets when they start. This was the jills first day out but rarely bother once they are going.

    Well said. Took me over 3 years to break mine with sheep and his now 5 and ok with them. But I never trust him and work him accordly. His not so bad his a liability and has lost things by sheep and not looked twice. But I know the dog and just because he does some thing right one day don't mean he will do it the next. I live in wales and we manage fine. Yes it does detract from the day being on edge at times but I am happy to live with. Some are not which is fine as well

    Never trust them fully but i bet you could have a good go and manage it.

    Guy on tv the other doing ultra marathons and he runs with a pom just goes to show. Any dog will so I wouldn't throw in the complications of a hunting type dog

    Good luck with the cat ?

    Makes sense to peg as you go. If your nice and steady they will sit tight till you pass then head for home but it don't matter then. Or of the wind is not perfect and blowing at an angle when they scent you will have passed and net is down.

    If there was ever a time I was going to skimp on bagging it was when I made this pissing thing ? I got it done with a 100% and it catches fine. Yes I dropped a mesh on the running line lol

    I just don't like the look of all them baskets and stuff Micky. I need a bloody sherpa half the time as it is ?

    They are both Allans. The grey one is an old fishing net. Must be a fair few years old. The last net he made me just a year or ago was a nice little 15 yarder which I often carry around. Had a rabbit with it this morning ferreting. Nice handy little length

    I don't own a quick set never seen the attraction plus its nice to keep with tradition
  19. terryd
    The two nets idea was good thinking
  20. terryd
    That is basically it. I don't do so much now since having the lurcher as I would rather run him. But also if you get it right the long netting can be pretty effective. If you have a spot with ten rabbits on the right night you have a chance of bagging the lot or the bulk of them. With numbers so low the last 4 years I go easy. This spot was a nice blind set you could do on a full moon if you wanted. You could go there any time of day and see rabbits. Now there is nothing. Lamped it a few times and not seen one.

  22. terryd

    I had it once and ended up with a litter i didn't want lol. Most vets have no experience of it that's the thing

    The thing is the test costs the same as the op or take a chance. Just been quoted from 71. to 220. haha but the 71. costs another 71 for the test. Might just take a chance.
