norseman 424 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 bring a spade nah mate, just work them as you would any ferret, I have a big hob and he's a real grafter, only kills the odd time. you'll hear people saying hobs always kill in, but its not always the case. 1 Quote Link to post
huntingman13 3 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Do you use a ferret finder Quote Link to post
norseman 424 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 yeah, wouldn't ferret without one lad, Quote Link to post
pie-eater 377 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 My best worker is a big hob. You might do a bit more digging to hobs but as long as youre fairly fit that shouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to post
huntingman13 3 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Iv got a hob what kills dwn the hole and comes back up within 15 minutes how is this Quote Link to post
Dengil 27 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 One of my best workers that i ever owned was an albino hob, wish i still had him but he long gone now. Quote Link to post
vanman1 411 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yep i regularly work my 3 hobbs and i would go as far as saying there my best workers slow yes but thorough and i dont think over a season i dig to them anymore than the jills to be honest,a decent jill will hold a bunny or two in a tight tunnel 1 Quote Link to post
pie-eater 377 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 If hobs could pass through purse nets without disturbing them Id probably not keep jills at all if Im honest. I find them vastly superior in every other way. 3 Quote Link to post

bobkizzyhugo 40 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 We have hobs the same size and some even smaller than our Jill's. Quote Link to post
Dan25 87 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I had 2 hobs good workers but nasty buggers to handle Quote Link to post
adam87 31 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Both my hobs are great workers, full of life and love the job . I have never had to dig them out either!! My big albino will even drag the rabbit out if he gets hold down the hole. Fantastic little workers A.T.B Quote Link to post
The one 8,467 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 We only use our two hobs when there out of season and work them with the Jill's on two permissions that are big sandy burrows where the Jill's get pulled about the tubes but the hobs don't the rest of the time we use Jill's. 1 Quote Link to post
