fishy 1 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 go next to pheasent/partridge rearing pens or next to cover crop,usually loads of holes. Quote Link to post
nobjerk 161 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 we find that a constant food source like a grain store to be the best or around any penned livestock , bails are good these were from a yard where grain was open and opposite the bail store , you can clearly spot the holes and greasy runs when there are a few about. another good method we use is to lamp these barns at night with the terriers on slip leads , it seems to work best if you put a few boards against wall for them to run to when the lights are turned on and then you can pick them off one by one.

sharp_shooter_sam 0 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 if you do any ratting inside farm buildings, look for dirty marks aroud the walls, where they run. They never run across the middle of the room. Follow the s***ty marks and it will eventually lead you to a tunnel or hole. They are phenomenal climbers. I was trapping some that lived in a wall cavity and they were climbing up a sheer brick wall to get into the nest. Anywhere there is a food source for them, they will be nearby.
