ferreting

[The one 8,483]

I prefer jills and im not fussy about colour as long as there not polecats i find them hard to see in heavy cover

[Malt 379]

I prefer albinos, but only because they are easier to see when they exit a burrow.

sandy or white but had them all, so no preference , I LIKE THAT ONE JUSTIN ABOUT YOUR FERRET DRAGGING THE RABBITS OUT IT AMUSES ME TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT HEARD A FEW TALES LIKE THAT OUT OF BOOOKS ITS REFRESHING TO NO THAT YOURE FERRETS DO THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS MYTH ,MAYBE WRONG LOL

No preference, on colour really, as long as they graft. Yes albinos are easier to spot in undergrowth and fields(exept in snow lol) and i have mostly worked jills over the years.

just wondering what peoples perfered choice is when going ferreting poleys or whites hobs or jills cheers folks

Albinos for me, much easier to see but they all work the same.....................

plenty of boys on here seen it in action and have observed the myth...and the guy i had it off told me to pick out of three hobs of his and said that they all do it...so not so rare an occurance...and yes, he also walks back to his box and curls back up waiting for the next bury...i guess hes just happy in his work.......maybe wrong lol.....

to be honest the colour of a ferret wouldnt bother me but i do tend to use jills i have a polecat x silver which is sometimes hard to see but i just use bells so i can hear where they are the colour wouldnt put me off using a ferret

i use polecat jills . my mates got whites. you wont beat a good working line of polecat

I have two polecat jills and a sandy hob i would not say one woked any better than the other the only gripe i have got is the hob tends to pull the nets all over the place when it leaves the burrows

[Marksman 934]

I have both a white and poley jill and to be honest dont think there's much difference in working them apart from the poley tends to be a little slower at first entering the warrens but once she gets a whiff she's away.

 

They also tend not to disturb the nets as much unless the locator collar gets caught

Ive had both Albino's & Polecat colurs in both Jills & Hob's,

over many years.

Pretty much had Albino's most of the time, no preference.

Just found the ones i had were very good.

Currently have an Albino Hob, a Polecat coloured Jill & a B/E White Jill.

 

There all desexed.

The polecat jill i have currently is excellent as is her sister

the b/e white...

I'm happy enough, they rarely spend more than 8/10 mins down before showing

themselves.

They're both easily called up, with a bit of dirt scratching at hole entrances

pretty much every time, or i may do a sound i use often when handling them.

 

All good,

 

Cheers,

Got poleys whites and a sandy they all work equally as well

But my ideal ferret if good worker would be a white jill of medium size
