THE GRIFF 8 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I have 6 working jills and one working hob, the hob is probably the best worker out of them all but does tend to get more kills down the hole than the jills. Quote Link to post
2bob 9 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 i've got two small jill's.. but i'll be getting a hob for next season i don't mind doing a bit of digging it's part an parcel of ferreting. we'd all like easy day's but unfortunately that's not alway's the case. Quote Link to post
happyferret123 13 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 sometimes it just depends on the ferret, and you will only really know once you've taken them out a few times. My hob works a lot better than my jill, he hardly ever kills, always comes back when it is clear of rabbits. But then he is bigger so cant fit down some than my tiny jill can. But for some it is the other way round. Quote Link to post
max abell 196 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 had some good hobs over the years but prefere jills they dont tend to kill as often but its personal prefrence mate Quote Link to post
The one 8,479 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Prefer jills working ten of them but got two hob kits last year and im pleased how there working Quote Link to post
Mick C. 229 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I use jills,but a small sized hob would serve my purpose just as well. Best ferret i seen work was a coloured hob. Quote Link to post
Guest alcapone Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ive a big cinamon hob here i bred last year out of a great jill i was given and he's every bit as good as the small jills ive been out with this season,always goes deep not just running around the top,never been a fan of hobs but i have 2 decent ones now that have changed my opinion,but he does make a mess of nets at times. 1 Quote Link to post

saxonmaster 74 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 100% jills for me mate race around the tunnels and back out if nothing is at home. my mate brings his hobs and 99% of the time your waiting about for them nothing bolted and no sign of a kill. i like the speed of the jills and move on to the next. not saying hobs are no good just for me a jill is prefered mate.
