ferret finders

[deadlyshot 25]

what ferret finder do you lot reccomend ive been looking at the debden ones but they are a reddiculous amount of money whats your thoughts

[Country Joe 1,411]

Im afraid Deben is the only company that sells them, so they have the market covered, you could go for a second hand on ebay, say the mark 1 which was the original, and they have a big following, but these also make silly money, or you save up and go for the new mark 3, either way, I would not go ferreting without one.

i dont use one mate too much money your ferrets will come out within an hour or so if you just wait thats what i do havent had to dig yet and they have lay up once or twice

i v got a mk3 one but is broke it doesnt give the right depth it was good while it was working though im using the old grey box locator now both cost alot of money but they are an essential tool when out ferreting id never go ferreting without one saves alot of waiting around at sets if your ferret kills and lays up a quick dig and your on your way. atb pal

Many a time ive dug and pulled two Rabbits from a stop end, which I would have missed without the finder,

I would not go out without one, in fact when I had to send my mark1 for a service, I never went out.

Just got the mk3m not cheap but in the long run it's worth every penny

[DKGPestControl 22]

I have 2 of the old grey boxes, I brought the micro box for about £ 5 or so years ago and i was given by a mate the bigger one. both still working fine. the have been dropped, left out when i have lost them for a weekend or so, run over with a quad, yet they still work! The only trouble i have is finding collars for them although i have been told that the mk3 collars work with them. Be warned they always seem to say the ferret is about 12"-18" deeper than they actually are! I have herd of a few ferrets killed my the spade whilst digging. Take it slow and use a spike to find the run.

A finder is a definate must for any one working ferrets IMHO

The only trouble i have is finding collars for them

Mike Dadd sells brand new Mark 1 Collars £40 with one year guarantee, look at my post on them I stuck up a couple of photographs.

I find it hard to critisise anyone who decides not to use a locator, I spent years ferreting without one,, but at the same time,, If the tech is there, you should use it,, I use one now, and it`s an amazingly handy bit of kit.

 

 

 

 

Oh and get a MK 3M.

[muddy210 34]

mk 3m here find it one of the most useful bits of kit in my equipment. on layups its gret for locating your animals ad o the bigger sets such as hedrows it shows if they have moved out of the area you are looking at. i often tie wrap mine to the spade and shove the spade in the ground thirty yards down wind if i hear it going i know the ferts have move off in that direction. not ideal i know but dont allways have 2 sets of eyes

[stealthy1 3,964]

MK3m all the way, its only the price of one weekend off the lash, and it may save you a kidney in the long run

You say that its all good for you bet you have a job and all that its kinda hard buying a ferreter finder when your doing gamekeeping and have to send the little money you have on clothes ecctt...... and how can you say that i dont vaulue my ferrets i do soo dont judge you do what i do and i will do what i do

[Plong 21]

You can ferret with out one but having one does make it easier. Some of the lads I ferret with never had them as kids but still never lost ferrets. Even using one it's not fail safe.
