Probing new depths?

[mole catcher 1]

Just wondering how many of you ferreting folk still use the good old probe whilst out ferreting?

 

I know with the advancement in locators some say there spot on, others say there a mile off. Thats not what im looking for. How many still use a probe to help compliment the use of their choosen locator?

 

I for one find them a godsend when digging deep as its a little to easy to loose the tube by no more than an inch or two.

 

PLEASE LETS NOT TURN THIS INTO A SLAGGING MATCH OVER CERTAIN PRODUCTS AIMED AT THE LOCATION OF FERRETS

The Probe is a useful rabbiting tool,...

i also use a probe ( T bar) for digging to the ferrets, its always a usefull piece of kit for locating the tunnel, i have mine marked at every foot so i know approx how deep i have to dig.

i use mine in terrier work and wouldnt go digging without it !

I've got a small one clipped to the side of my box for when i think i'm close to breaching but just to one side. Only about 1 1/2 ft but joes the job well enough.

Don't have one but would like to get one to compliment the electronic box of tricks.

 

Not keen on slicing my ferrets in half and would prefer to use the probe to make sure I am in the right area.

Never really found I needed one. I wouldnt mind a small one what would fit in the bag, other than that just extra gear to be carrying around.

For ferreting or terrier work I wouldn't leave home without mine, got used to carrying it and feel lost without it even with the locators we have I use the bar for making sure before digging.

I use one everyday of my working life for mole work. I couldnt do my job without it. i use one in ferreting as well. It has a nice shape teat on the end that give me a very positive feel when im into a mole/rabbit tunnel

Sounds ideal....

[Guest JDF]

wether ferreting or terrier would'nt leave home without it,i can even remember using it to locate terriers before i could afford a locator,imagine that

I have to say it a great idea i use one to catch moles too. Never thought to use it when rabbiting, but i will do know. Seems silly not to have thought of using it before now. I two on the van
