  1. Get one mate it'll save you hours of time and loads of missed rabbits that you wouldn't know about. I got 8 from a stop end the other week. Your ferret might not be one for coming away either so you'll waste a full day near enough waiting. You might get some high and mighty old dinosaurs dismissing their use but what they did in the olden days and now 20 years on since they last ferreted a rabbit are a world apart, locators are as essential in ferret work as terrier work.
  2. I got 32 on my new permission last monday which is as you say like a bowling green. 28 out of a ten hole burrow in the middle of a paddock with 8 out of a stop end . The ferrets minds were on other things though.
  3. Where abouts are you scouse? I'm sure someone on here could show you the ropes.
  4. Macnab highlander 12 bore with colour case hardening or whatever you call it, I could shoot with that gun.

    what lube.

    Beat me to it, better with a good bit of ralgex in it too though, gets things spiced up
  6. 'This area' being? I'm getting too many at the moment but unfortunately they have got to be killed. You could have some if you weren't too far away.
  7. If theres anyone round the preston area after some really good and cheap chicken carcases give me a pm and i'll send you the number, I got 60 kilo last week not knowing how much that amounted too and struggled to get rid. The box is about 6 kilo for a quid.
  8. The dog isn't going to be there as much as the vixen and cubs are, just think how many opportunities you would miss waiting for the dog who could have fecked off or been hit by a car weeks before. Do the vixen then the cubs won't be moved and then do the cubs. If the dog is a pest too sit and wait for him or trap him.
  9. It takes ages to read some threads when someone has quoted the whole thread practically rather than just scrolled down a bit further to the 'add reply' button. Kay wasn't the only one confused by your post mate and I don't think she was having a go, chill out.
  10. Oh and the jill poleys who's areas his territory would cover, most hobs go a bit daft when there nuts are controlling their brain but I would imagine a wild one is more so.
  11. I wouldn't be so worried about a territorial wild polecat being on his tod Dawn, he was probably just missing the vast area he'd cover in the wild as his home territory.
  12. Stick a pic up and i'll keep my eyes peeled round here. Not too far away.
  13. Probably mate, my whippet does. Bit annoying though when the running dog is in the bramble and the quarry is off with a terrier up its arse
  14. Come on lads, we know you've got a good sense of humour so give em some come backs A scouse lad on another forum come out with one that tickled me 'if I wanted to listen to an arsehole i'd fart!'
  15. Might go, gets my pup a bit of socialising if nowt else.
  16. Well done on catching a maggie but how come you didn't make a proper one with a call bird compartment and 2 or more catching compartments? Theres plenty of plans knocking about or pictures if you search. I would call that a cage trap not a larsen but it worked and thats the main thing mate.
  17. Mine had their pup jabs and their first booster. My terrier is ten now and I think bugs are scared of catching something off him
  18. Where abouts are you John, perhaps someone could come and show you?
  19. Shellduck, rats, stoats and a cat but that doesn't count coz the ferret didn't let it bolt and by the time we broke through it was well past its sell by date
  20. It would be good for eating you out of house and home but then that would probably only be for about 8 years.
  21. Location location location
  22. I've had loads of magpies over the years in larsens but this year they don't seem to be catching, i've had my trap in two seperate places and caught one bird each place but then nothing? In the past they just seemed to steadily keep coming? Me and a mate have three traps on the go and his are the same, he caught one in one trap after he'd took the call bird out to move to another trap. Are the magpies clued up to the trap or just not feeling very territorial? Anyone else having bother with them? Cheers, gnipper
