  1. My lab got attacked by a staffie one day I guess that it must have been worked to kill foxes too or other dogs. I have to keep an eye on my lab as shes wary of other dogs now and has to be watched very carefully. Shes ok with my new pup though which is strange. I guess my lab must be a killer or has killed a fox or dog when I wasnt looking to make her like that. I wont bother trying to socialise my lab slowly to try to get her right again ill just have her put to sleep as I don't want a killer in my house.
  2. Yes it is preset on poles. I will try that thanks nelson. I should have explained it all a bit better. Would you be able to just roll it up around the first poll and just roll the whole length up? I understand it might not be the quickest method but would it tangle? I made it in to a quickset as I though it quicker and more efficient to have the poles and bagging already set. Maybe its more appropriate to call it a preset instead of a quickset as its not that quick without a basket
  3. Lol. Im not getting mixed up, like I said its a homemade quick set without a basket. When I said I took the poles out I meant out of the ground. I made it by looking at previous posts. I dont wish to use a basket as its just another big thing to carry. Also like I said I had 3 rabbits hit the net in a matter of minutes plus ferrets to keep an eye on. Whats better dispatch the rabbits or delay the inevitable as they struggle in the net. If you dispatch one and are untangling it then another rabbit hits the net id say its better to drop it and despatch the other, and if your ferrets come out put
  4. Hello. I went out yesterday with my ferrets. On my permission theres a large warren which I wanted to tackle with my homemade quickset. I Got it all set up around the warren, only set 3 purse nets as the longnet didnt quite go around the full warren. 3 rabbits bolted within a few minutes and went straight in to the net. I put the ferrets in there box and untangled the rabbits from the net which had already been dispatched. I left it a while before entering the ferrets again. After ten minutes of no more bolting I decided to pack up as I only had 2 ferrets working the big warren as I only have
  5. You could try taking it back to retrieving training. Building up on blind retrieves to you pointing the direction of it. Let the dog build up trust in you pointing it out for it. Then move on to the reflective strips/shiny eyes on a dummy at night and get it confident on you pointing it for it. Then lamp again. Sometimes best going back to basics. Atb
  6. Also would getting your own public liability insurance for working/hunting dogs help out with any fees for accidents? Dont know if it would help in public places though but would probably help on private land.
  7. If you were on private permission and was hunting/working your dogs, and a cat was killed, would it then be your fault and would you be liable for such bills? I think not as its on private land, aslong as you had permission ofcourse. Maybe best to keep dogs on leads in public places and search for local land owners permission to let them off for a walk/run.
  8. Not sure, I hope he is and takes note of what people think of his nets. Had a good chat to this lad via pm. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/328221-net-trouble/ It was not hard to find out who the seller was really. TCI got the net made in to a quick set net today. Still got to repair all the holes in it though

  12. Is it titled purdeys progress on youtube? I cant find it if it is. My internet is rubbish so its not ideal. Would like to see it as its so recommended. Cheers for the reply
  13. Do the mark 3m collars work with a mark 3 reciever? I have a mark 3 with 2 collars and need another collar for my new jill.
  14. Where can I get a copy of this dvd? Have been reading past posts from newbies like myself looking for training advice and saw a lot pointing to this dvd. Help appreciated Cheers
  15. I've just bought a long net. It arrived today and I have tried to set it up to see how it is. I wanted one to use for ferreting some awkward places. This is my first longnet and have never used one/set one up. Is the line supposed to go through every mesh? Also some of the meshes aren't even joined properly. Is this just a badly made net which I should be sending back? Any help appreciated. Thanks
