Malt 379 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Fishing with jills? Not really a good idea, best to feed them up first as people have advised you to do in your other thread. Quote Link to post
ROBERT954 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 will do (make sure they are full before work) Quote Link to post
diggermad 154 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 you use a hob for one reason in lining its bigger than the jill a jill will not move another ferret off a kill especially on a line i wouldnt use a liner anyway save up and get your self a locator and collar thats the best thing cheers Quote Link to post
The one 8,514 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 And what if you hurt her dragging her about underground with a line ??? Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I can understand a new ferreter itching to get out and catch rabbits, and also understand that money can be tight to start with buying ferret finders, equipment etc, but please do not use a line on a jill, just think to yourself the twists and turns,tree roots etc in a rabbits warren, think of any ferret with a line tied to it, maybe 200yds of line underground, with you on the end of it, trying to pull a ferret out it would be a bit like the old tom and jerry cartoon of pulling a cat through a "knot hole" but in your case it would'ent be funny if you cant wait and save up for a locator, then simply, only ferret small warrens, if you happen to loose a ferret, do all you can to find it, leaving live catch traps out and waiting around for a number of hours, even returning the next day, and the next, rather than leaving it be, and putting a lost ferret post up, as you'll not gain many admirers that way or simply post your location details up, in the hope, that a more experienced ferreter, might take you out on a trip or two Quote Link to post
diggermad 154 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 hi mate if you do by chance lose a ferret in a warren block all the holes up and get back there first light in the morning and take a rabbit with you and put it in a purse net and leave it outside the hole with peg in the ground that should entice it out unless a rabbit is on top of it then you are in trouble and that is where you need a locator and shovel cheers mate DM Quote Link to post

will.f11 24 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Dont even think about pulling it out with a line you will kill your ferret. I ferret without a locator mainly because if I did have one I wouldnt be able to dig on my ground anyways. if you cant afford a locator, ferret the nice small burries and prepare to wait a while. If you take a few ferrets we usually just leave a box out and block up all the holes, then we will go off and ferret another burrie close by and go back later. Quote Link to post
