2 ferrets or 1

[jonboy 0]

just starting out ferreting proper. is it best to take one ferret out or work 2 together. i know this may depend on how big the warren is and how many burrows there are. just wanting some pointers as i want to get off on the right track

If it`s just a small set i would probably just put the 1 down the bigger it is stick 2 in. Happy hunting

My mate only has the one collar and he uses it on his hob.

 

Works the jill and if it kills he enters the hob and digs to that location. Almost like a liner without a line.

 

I dont do it, I only work mine with collars. If I feed the ferrets before I go out I have never had to dig, but they dont seem as devoted in working though.

 

Good luck ferreting

f**k me, the old timers must be laughing from their grave! What a load of bollocks!

 

I've done far more ferreting without a locator than I have with, and I've never lost a ferret yet! In fact, my locator is only used in the same way as a line (as someone has mentioned before).

 

Ferrets get lost because of a lack of knowleadge, not a lack of locator!

 

Good luck

Why doesn’t he just put it on the Jill and then he wont have to put his hob down.

Ta for all the advice am going out early sunday morning with m'dogs and ferrets on m'bit of permission

[SeanTheHawker 0]

i always use one, but handy to have two, for the odd large set and also when batterys fail or bleeper fails you can check it out with other collar, also can help shift a ferret if its arsing about a hole

[wabbithunter_15 0]

if one is young and the other older and experienced at hunting put the older one in first then the younger one in the same hole straight after this gets the younger one used to goin down a hole to get wabbits hope that helps..

only thing i can add is lack of patience as well as lack of knowledge

 

Too many folk want the rabbits and ferrets out within 5 minutes or start digging wait a bit, sit and watch the world go by, the ferrets will (99% of the time) shift those rabbits
