Jarvis 277 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Oh right yer I borrowed his hob the other month to bring my jills out of season and he said he had given them to someone. I bred his polecat jills. I've always got plenty of ferreting on, you could come for a few outings if your interested. Quote Link to post

Jarvis 277 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Oh bloody hell not good! Yer he was a real friendly chap! I'm away on holiday to the 12th but when I'm back I'll send you a message and can arrange a trip out. Got a couple of hobs I want to give a run out on some small burrows so would be good to have a hand. Have you got any work on at the moment? Quote Link to post
tom17 18 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yeah bless him! I've got a young Hob around 16 weeks old at the minuet but won't be taking him out for a while and no worries mate I will give you a hand No work on at the minuet only work part time at a shop until I can find a full time job Quote Link to post
Jarvis 277 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 How are the polecat jills, they must be 6-7 now? Great cheers mate I'll let you know when I'm next out. If I've got any large jobs on and need a hand I'll let you know. Quote Link to post
tom17 18 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Yeah the two jills are doing great mate I think they are 6 now, we're out for the first day of the season tomorrow got a call from a land owner yesterday saying he wants them gone, bit early for me to start but need to keep the land owner happy! Okay brilliant mate I appreciate it. Quote Link to post
Jarvis 277 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 That's good then, hope tomorrow goes well. If the winter is as mild as last year there will still be nettles hanging around in January, I was catching 3/4 grown in December, just breeding all year round! Weirdest thing for me is ferreting in the summer for work in shorts just feels wrong! Quote Link to post
tom17 18 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Finished the day with 11 rabbits. Same here last year was gutting doe rabbits around Christmas time which can young inside! I think I will wait a month now till I few of the warrens seemed to have wasps nests inside which was a bloody pain getting chased off my them and the poor ferret got stung (must have been deep inside as I couldn't see any wasps or the nest) Yeah I bet that just feels wrong ferreting in summer with all the cover high and I bet there was a lot of digging!

Jarvis 277 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Not a bad day, lots of wasps about but I don't mind, they make me money yer too much digging, got one Jill which kills and moves on though. I try to talk customers out of it till autumn winter but just do small jobs or where customers are desperate to have it done. Do you have dans nets and long net aswell? Quote Link to post
tom17 18 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yeah they weren't happy when a rabbit bolted out of the warren and disturbed the nest! They were chasing me and ferret lol Yeah he gave me his nets, long net and I have started knitting my own nets made 5 so far takes me ages per net Quote Link to post
Jarvis 277 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Not good!!! Haha! That's good of him, it's good to know how to do your own nets! Quote Link to post
