bradfrance 1 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Most of the time the holes are in tree stumps or low enough to reach but if theyre right up there then you just move on! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,598 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Had a few as a kid with the ferret and as you say you can find them some times in holes in the tree low down. I found the first one by accident when my jr marked the a small hole in a tree. Right old bit of chuntering and out he popped Edited March 20, 2013 by terryd 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
