scent 509 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 if youve got good working terriers mate money dont come into it b&f all the way i made that statement in another thread and got slated but i stick by it.Iv used the mk3 and think you need a fookin science degree to use it so i got a bellman and flint.Iv only used it for around 11 or 12 digs but its been bang on so far Quote Link to post
THE POACHER 13 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 mate im not having ago but if your in the digging game get the right gear and you wont go far wrong surely you owe that to your dogs. dont bother with deben an absolute load of shit if i had to rely on deben i would pack it in simple as that lol Quote Link to post
terrierman taunton vale 82 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 hi, I run a deben mk 3 long range. i use it 2 days a week in the seasson, it is funny at first to operate but when you get your head around it its simple!!! Also depends on what type of dog you run as the b&f is great for hard dogs that grab hold cos your supose to put it down and wait for your dog to settle to its quary then move it till the depth is at its lowst then dig!! But i find if you run smaller dogs through big places it can be going around and around for half an hour before it catches up with its quary so the b&f is a bit obsalete but the mk 3 long range alows you to know were your dog is from the minuite you put it in.. Hope this has helped. but im sure ether is a very good choice Cheers Jamie Quote Link to post
Bryan 1,362 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Guys the best box is the Barryvox Pulse or the Ortovox S1. but almost no one has spent the money getting them! just go for the cheaper B+F??? Bryan Quote Link to post
