Ideation 8,216 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I was just having a think while feeding the stinkers. It's funny how everyone is always saying get jills and not hobs, and jills are what they work etc. But the thing is, when you breed a litter, you really need a good, working hob. . . . . . . .

Adam13 4 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Are the big hobs any good for hunting? Or do they just kill everything? Edited November 26, 2011 by Adam13 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I've only worked my 8 month old monster sized hob twice but he bolts the bunnys for sure. He has made one kill down a hole but came out after couple mins and on another 2 occasions he has dragged them out of the hole backwards by the face. Can't fault him. Got a medium sized hob and 2 small Jills. Think variety is the key to a good team Gaz Quote Link to post
mick20 23 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Biggest hob i've seen in many years, photo doesn't do him justice. Quote Link to post
ryhope toma 42 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 totally agree longtail , last season went out with me mates BIG hobs and mine , me mate started to get carried away with himself and went in front ferreting some small 3 holers while i was picking up nets . by the time i was finished me mate had been in and out of sets and got none so i decided to put me little jill in and got 3 rabbits out of 3 sets which he already done ? I WONDER WHY ALB Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 ive got 2 brothers exactly the same, tried to get a pic of them both but it didnt work out. theyre identical. second picture is one of the brothers dont have a clue which one, hes not the biggest hob ive seen but big enough Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 this is my old hob. had to get rid of him as when i was at work the mother in law let the baby near the hutch and he got hold of the wee mans finger. that was it with the missus. he was a nippy b@stard and was always looking to sink his teeth somewhere. didnt have him long but he was definitley the biggest i have ever seen. picture doesnt show any of his size but its the only one i have. he was as thick as a 2ltr bottle of coke and heavier than one. and absolute monster.
