jok 3,213 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 This started when W. Katchum (bless him) asked about a poachers box. Well WK you can see some great ideas so what do you want?. I love the idea of cutting off the front corner of a cube and having a Bowback. Size is immaterial. Mind you, we've till September to sort it Devon. Not sure about the slope. Think that would be a bit tricky. Does look smart though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 A version of a single I put together. I put a slope on my boxes so your arm sits comfortably Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devon flighter 421 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 thanks moxy "everything is so obvious with hind sight " they would definitely be easier on the arm with a slope Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,213 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Well that's it. Gaz has collected his box and seen my ideas for w Katchum. I think he agreed not a bad idea so am going for it. Should be done middle of the week. I'll put up some pics as I go on.jok. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yep collected the box today. Cracking bit of kit. Just what I hoped. That middle pocket is really functional, pics below show it holding half a dozen nets, game carrier, mora knife, a couple of mk1 collars, a mk1 box and a pouch of spare batteries. Not bad at all. Thanks again Jok... Plenty of room for my big Hobs... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

devon flighter 421 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 can they get about the burries ok at that size? just thinking out loud here ,if they can wouldnt it save hassle just keeping hobs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if they find some small warrens a tight squeeze or not mate. They might do? No way of knowing really. They bolt plenty of bunnys though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,213 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I can tell you now that these fellas had to get through a 50mm hole to either get to bed or to dinner. They didn't have no problems. I imagine a rabbit bury doesn' t have any sort of problem simply because a rabbit and a ferret side by side solves the question. Also, I remember digging a Charlie and he managed a burry hole that you could barely get your hand through. Ferrets will get anywhere regardless of size. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Couldn't agree more Jok. They ain't fat, just all fur and big heads. I've got a 4" pipe in their play area and they fly through that. Can't imagine a warren being much tighter than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devon flighter 421 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 so why doesn't everyone just use hobs for working ? it would save the hassle of jills and their seasons ! do they scrap more in the housing ? dont forget your talking to a ferret noob here i only do simple Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devon flighter 421 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 though there had got to be a simple reason ! thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
