Do any of you guys use bells

[Hunting-top-shots 2]

no not talking about the Whisky, I have attached bells to the Deben coller and it works a treat if they are above ground you can hear them and the Rabbits don't seem to like the music in the den been trying it for the first time this month the Rabbits seem to bolt faster, even on burrows that I have been to before that have taken up to 30 mins are empty with in 10mins.

 

interested to hear what you all think.

Hello mate,

Yes the bells do work i use them and i find they make a big difference, i have a young polecat and he was a bit to quick underground and he caught virtually everything and we tried to find away of at least trying to give the bunny a sporting chance against linford the polecat and hey presto the bell was attached and the bunny hears him coming and does the the 100 metre sprint only to find a purse net impeding his progress!

your also right in saying that it's easy to find them above ground in dense bramble etc, but the only fault i have found is that the do easily become clogged with mud.

some say thay are shit cus thay fill with dirt.... so tip it out lol, yeah a mate tryed it and his ferret was a killer, and thay were bolting quicker than he could catch them

Hmm, that sounds ideal for the situation im in atm...

 

1 of my ferts has hurt his leg somehow. He escaped and when I next saw him he was limping around the shed his hutch is in. Took him to the vet and he said its just a bruise but i cant take him out for a few weeks.

 

I tried ferreting with just the one ferret last weekend but he just killed underground (rabbits chose to face up to him rather than run I think, because he didnt have his mate with him) I heard a load of thumping and he came up covered in blood. If a bell will shift them better then I might just try again with 1 ferret today. Just got to get my hands on one now lol

First time you use them in a wet area will they not fill up with soil and stop working ???

Im sure you can scrat it out with a bit of stick or something. If not running under the tap would clear it out I would think.

I had the problem that the bells were filling up with mud so I have made a harnes to attach the bell to the top of the ferrets neck and the MK chip has also found a place on the harness it looks like a back pack on the ferrets I will get some picks this comeing W-end and post them.

 

cheers for the answers
