Ideation 8,216 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Well done. . . . but most ferrets will bolt a fox, if the fox can bolt and you are being quiet. And i dont think anyone said eus didnt work, just that they didnt work any better than a decent ferret . . . . certainly not £40 better 3 Link to post

Marvin 193 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I would of thought the ferrets would of bailed out with the smell of a bigger predator, everyday,s a school day, are there any laws against ferreting for fox lol 1 Link to post

Guest cookiemonsterandmerlin Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Tend to find its better and safer to use a terrier to bolt foxes ATB Cookie Edited March 13, 2012 by cookiemonsterandmerlin 1 Link to post
paulus 26 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 most foxs will avoid ferrets like the plauge and given the chance will bolt readily, badgers on the other hand will kill it without a second thought, over the years ive bolted everything from rats to hedgehogs to little owls, in some large warrens ive seen badger,fox, rabbit, rat and mice all living togeather Link to post
