fcuktheban 140 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have had ferrets for over 30 years. I have euro and greyhound ferrets from working stock. Don't get jealous just because my ferrets not only work better than yours but look better too!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol. Hard core ferreters PMSL. Some of you have not seen a decent days ferreting. How many of you hard core ferreters do it at night? I ferret with nets and hawks and make my own nets etc etc etc. Bloody key board ferreters lol. I like the greyhound type but don't think they deserve a different name. I have seen litters with different sizes and shapes. When you hunt full euro ferrets how to you get them to come back to you and do you wear gloves? I doubt your ferrets look any better than mine no matter what name you give them. As for ferreting at night, I'd rather go lamping. Quote Link to post

RaiderBoy 19 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I like this thread, a lot of good comments. I'll admit i dont get out as much as anyone here but this EU polecate nonsence should stop. The way i see it is like, refining the finest grade fuel and them dumping a load of crude oil back into the mix. Richard Quote Link to post

Richard becuse you can do places you cant do in the day at night on big parkland, had some good scores But for me ferreting has always been a "cold winters morning" activity and besides, i worry enough about losing the little buggers in the day, nevermind in pitch black. Also how do you know if a rabbit has hit a net?. Richard Quote Link to post

Well stop going on. It is simple - if you want them and willing to pay the price then go ahead. If you don't then carry on looking in the free to good home section Quote Link to post

You can see quiet well and just keep checking the nets. It's not as easy as day time. I also use White ferrets and not polecats at night. Quote Link to post

What about putting a small bell on the nets? Quote Link to post

If you don't then carry on looking in the free to good home section There's a saying for this and it's "a fool and his money are easily parted". I'll be honest with you, i think its just a gimmick to fool people who want to be different. Why go through all the heart throb of owning whats basically a wild animal, when you can own a tame ferret that looks identical? Is it just so you can say i own an EU polecat? thats the only reason i can find. I dont think you'll find a better worker than a bog standard ferret thats been bred from working parents. Im not saying nobody should own one because thats just like saying dont buy a porshe when you can have a ford for half the price but their just not for me. Richard Quote Link to post

Good point, but i'll stick to the air rifle and lamp at night and keep the ferrets for a winters morning. Richard Quote Link to post
