Ferret Muzzle

[COMPO 54]

Pointless, and it must also be bloody hard work to muzzle a ferret....... I did once know someone who came by a jill ferret that the moron who had her before had snapped her canine teeth in half using a pair of pliers..... If I recall correctly someone went and gave him some amateur dentistry so he knew what it felt like......

muzzles/ collars with a bell on/ lines or pulling teeth theres just no need to do any of them theses days with locators

I dont think Fred would have been using muzzles in his later years....he was a forward thinking man,it was he who originally thought of using a vasectomised hob to bring jills out of season,and was housing his ferts in courts before theyd been thought of Dick Walker was lauded with the invention of many fishing techniques that were actually invented by Fred ,not that it bothered either of them ...RIP Fred and Dick

Yes,I have read it,the guy loved his sport for sure,allways suprised me he never seemed more interested in running dogs,he certainly contributed a lot to fishing/hunting.I have some of his fishing books somewhere always a cracking read,cheap as chips on ebay

Fred was a legend, me and him had a mutual friend, dick hawkins, sadly dick is dead now too........ Fred as I understood wasn't into running dogs as he concentrated on catching rabbits, not the dog.......

No need for them here,,,

 

But I have watched a few vids on YouTube ,,of ferreting in lanzerote,,and the Canary Islands ,,and they do it with string,,and I must say it was done in a very slick manner,,and the ferrets were very well handled ,as they didn't struggle ,,,I suppose using ferrets there in the rock holes,,and lava fissures ,,,it makes sence,,,and I assume no natural preditors ,,,although I'm sure there would be rats there

Think I watched the same clip I think the reason they do it is because of the terrain as obviously they couldnt dig the ferret out if it did kill.
