pics ov your biggest hobs

[Guest long-tail]

As long as they do the job I don't mind. I feel a bit better putting in a good sized hob that can put up a good fight if he comes across anything that might go for him. There have been ferrets killed by rats and other things.

fair point but iv never had trouble with using a decent jill in over 30 years of keeping them on and off so certainly would not entertain a hob of these sizes down to preference i suppose just not for me

Theres nothing wrong in using a medium sized Hob, I have done, but some of the monsters ive seen in this post, would not do for me.

Give over giving jac shit, she knows a thing or two about stinkers. And the man is holding them ferrets, like he is scared to death of them

It's all down to personal preference on this one chaps.

 

I generally use two Jill's of an average size as my first choice but I do have a hob who isn't a monster by any means but he is very good at shifting hard to bolt bunnies.

 

Interestingly the two other new ferrets i am using this season are jills.

 

However my friend uses some big hobs to great success.

 

I prefer the jills as they slip through the nets easier.

When I was after my first ferret as a kid I phoned a number in a local shop and went round to this blokes house to look at an albino hob he was selling and feck me I think the monster would have given the biggest hobs in these pics a run for their money, i've seen smaller adult cats. I would have got a lot of ferret for a fiver but I valued my fingers too much .

I left that one there and got a normal sized hob off a mate who I still gerret with now nearly 20 years later.

I was out yesterday got a good bag of rabbits using three medium sized jills and when i had to dig they where holding the rabbits in the middle of the tubes and they where going nowhere ,So whats the need for these monsters ?.

I think with carrying a box on your back, plus your spade, bag, and your nets, and thats not considering stop nets.

The last thing you need is two Hobs the size of Cats.

ya`s to that aye had

i would,nt want them grabbing my hand

Like i said before though, i see a lot of kits advertised as 'from good working stock', by people who say that they and their mates only work jills. . . . . .

 

 

I agree that some hobs are too big, but i like a decent sized jill, capable of taking the knocks and dishing them out when needed, and you need a decent sized hob to produce such offspring.

 

Also, in big, deep warrens, a couple of big hobs will do the job of a handful of smaller jills. Maybe it's the stink?
