Minkenry 1,044 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 In this video they call a special ferreting device a "ferreting endoscope". I tried Googling "ferreting endoscope" to see what they do, and how I could buy one, but I couldn't find anything under this name. Is there another name for the device used in this video?

OldhamLad 66 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Its a video unit basically that allows you to view inside the warren just like the ones surgeons use to put up our arses ! I think its not practical in terms of cost and time, Use a collar locate the ferret and dig it out ! Anyway quick question why is ferreting illegal in the U S OF A ? 1 Quote Link to post

Minkenry 1,044 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Anyway quick question why is ferreting illegal in the U S OF A ? It's not illegal in every state, but where it is illegal it is because of the fear of them creating feral populations here and becoming a pest, like the American mink is for you guys. It's a stupid, irrational fear that was spread by liberals who know nothing about animals and just like to dream up laws to control the people with. If ferrets were going to create feral populations here, they already would have. We can use ferrets where I live, and I talk with the falconers who do. The problem is, our rabbits don't dig warrens, so the ferrets are only useful in junk piles, or when the rabbit tries to hide in a badger hole. In the eastern states ferrets are much more useful because there is an animal called a ground hog that dig lots of holes that the rabbits have to hide in more often then they do out here in the west.

Never seen or heard of one, so I thought I'd learn more, and see how much they cost, in case I found a use for one. I can think of some uses for one that wouldn't necessarily apply to just hunting. Like maybe helping me check up in holes looking for baby mink or something. I don't know if they would work, but it sounds interesting enough to look into. Quote Link to post

The one 8,503 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Watch the video and you should be cringing with embarrassment all the gear you need is a locator and a sharp spade I think the endoscope was just for the camera 1 Quote Link to post
moxy 617 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I couldn't think of a more useless tool to take ferreting, other than a socket set and a spirit level.Not when you have the use of locators.I have mine for other uses......... So who's first!! Quote Link to post
micky 3,325 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 santa brought me a WELL MAN heath check a few years back, among other things like blood pressure and various tests I had one of those things stuffed down my throat , if that wasn't enough fun for one day they then pushed another one up my tackhole. 1 Quote Link to post
RubyTex 1,957 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Exactly...endoscopes are for going up your ring piece when you've got something dodgy going on in your back passages that needs shifting lol Quote Link to post
