How Do You Use Your Locators?

Just wondering if people put a collar on the ferret all the time or use them on a hob in the way a liner was used in the past. I have just got a mk3 with one collar and rather than splash out on another collar or keep swapping it over i was going to try the liner method. i would like to hear your thoughts on this.

I use a wind up radio and a collar

Never put a ferret to ground with out a collar so I use a lot of collars , it's got to be time wasting if a ferret kills or sticks in a burrow you have to collar up. Another one and too search for the first one

Got to have a collar for every ferret below ground, feck pissing about with cold hands changing collars. I think Ive converted a lad who used to ferret "loose" but after a few times out, he noticed it was always his collar-less ferret holding us up. Plus, if its collared up, but you cant dig to it, at least you know where it is and can block it in for the night.

keep grafting them and youll soon realise what ferrets work what way, then use collars accordingly.. i tend to have one on each ferret even those i dont dig to regular, just so i can keep tabs on them

I wouldn't work any ferret without a collar easy to keep tabs on em and your able to dig to em which means more rabbits for you

Aye if your working a large burrow and have a few ferrets in and it goes quiet its just a case of box out and dig them out one at a time job done on to the next burrow , if you only use one collared ferret its going to take all day to get your ferrets back you wont get much ferreting done

Looking back when i was a skint teenager (as opposed to a skint adult) and i remember worrying if the collarless ferret had come out and buggered off whilst i was digging to the collared 1... soon saved up enough for some nice shiny new collars

Collars are a must in my eyes , the days are short enuff without waiting for the ferrets
