nitro 0 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi there, I just lost my first ferret, He locked onto a bunny about 15 feet down a hole and wouldn't come out. I waited till it was dark after trying to dig him out, but to joy. I returned at first light the next day, but I couldn't get a signal from his collar. So now I'm down to my last jill and she is really loanly, so i need another couple more to get back up to strengh. I could do with a hob and a jill so I get them breeding. Can anyone help? I live near Leicester and don't mind travling 50 miles to collect / meet up. Quote Link to post
higgins 75 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 that's some depth for a ferreting job!Were the batteries fresh in your locator,it could have been a weak signal,also what were you ferreting a rabbit burrow at the foot of a big banking? Higgins. Quote Link to post

nitro 0 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 This is the first ferret I've lost in 10 years of working them, the batterys were new in the collar and locator. It's the first time i've worked this new patch.The soil was quite sandy so the tunnels can go down very deep. I've had them go down 20 feet round here!! Quote Link to post
