donkdaniel 236 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 This is about the most i've moved to get the monkey back, but had a few similar depth in the past but no photo's sorry. Not really deep, but at 6ft is was out of arms reach, and blocked in. Most are around arms depth, like these, but usually around 20 plus a day. f**k me bet the farmer was happy wiyh you Quote Link to post
jigsaw 11,897 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Jaysus if I had to dig like that for ferrets Id pack the ferkin game up.It must be a year since I had to dig deeper than 2-3 feet for a ferret,and I do a fair ammount of ferreting.A wild boar wouldnt uproot the ground as bad as some of you lads Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 My worst dig is a toss up between the 4 1/2 ft one through flinty rab & the 4 1/2ft one through the roots of a holly tree, both to retrieve lost fecking collars.. Quote Link to post

mooster 1 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 "20 plus a day"!!!is that 20 bunnies or 20 digs?? I also have never had to dig more than a couple of feet in 5 years ferreting and in most cases my ferret has emerged next to my ear somewhere to see what all the noise was. We certainly all do it differently! 1 Quote Link to post
Brimmer 220 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 "20 plus a day"!!!is that 20 bunnies or 20 digs?? I also have never had to dig more than a couple of feet in 5 years ferreting and in most cases my ferret has emerged next to my ear somewhere to see what all the noise was. We certainly all do it differently! Yep 20 plus digs a day sometimes if things are not going to plan, not bunnies, usually a few more than that. In my 34 years of rabbiting, (I'm 38 now) have seen things progress from bolting rabbits with jills, no locaters when i was a youngster and creeping around on the holes quietly netting up, to not worrying one bit whether they lie up behind a blocked in bunny, and in some cases, entering a killer hob to pin the rabbit and not netting up, if it bolts the dogs are always there, knowing i can have dug out the kill long before a dozen nets could be even set. It works for me, and i know in different areas with very deep warrens it wont work, sometimes i have to do things the old way. Usually ends up with a lot less rabbits though, and a lot of wasted time. Digging em out gets results on the land I work. Quote Link to post
