ferret finders?

[kingfisher 0]

i was walking through some fields the other day and my mind turned to ferrets while i was looking at some beats and i was wandering if ferret finders are really nessasary as they are quite expensive?

Is this a question... or a mind fart?

in my opinion they work for me saves alot of time if you have to locate the ferret and dig down rather than sitting around waiting for your ferrets to show.

if your serious about ferreting then their worth it 100%. They save time and energy and most important of all you have a much better chance of not leaving your ferret out in the field. its well worth the money.

If your ferrets just pops in and out the holes you will get by without one .If youv'e got a honest hard working ferret or are doing pest control you will definatly need one

right then nobo, it was a question. i asked because people have had ferts before finders came out, so think before you make stupid comments :wankerzo4:

and to the rest of you guys that answered my question, thanks. i havent got or really want any ferts but it was just a question as i like to know these things. i understand that if you want to keep your ferret and save yourself a lot of hard work then you need them but is there another way of getting them back (leaving food in a cage) or would you have to write the ferret off if it didny come out?

or would you have to write the ferret off if it didny come out?

 

and you ask if a locator is needed

 

 

would you write a terrier off, if it did'nt come out of a hole, or are they worth more

of course not but like i said is there a way of getting them to come out? ie leaving some bait in a cage. i mean how did people get them back before locators were invented? im pretty sure they wernt around a couple of hundred years ago. anyway never mind, its hard to get a straight answer off some people.

people didnt use them 50 years ago ever no such thing back a thousand years people ferreted successfully for generations and generations....

 

me i like locators makes finding lay ups much easyer and moving on quicker so more rabbits for me....

To be honest mate you are being pretty obscure i your question and answers. Personally I would never leave home without a locator. As previously said, if you value your ferrets or dont want to lose a rabbit thats been killed underground then they are a godsend. Yes there are people who ferret without them but in my opinion that is irresposible. Technology advances so wy should we not use it in the field?

[Sterry 0]

i personally dont use oneand a few others dont on here, its really down personal preference and also if you ferret does kill often, if it does then i would suggest one or a ferret that doesnt kill.

 

most people i know if their ferret does lay up and they dont use a locator either use a bramble branch to find out where it is in the small warrens or using a dog to mark where abouts.

 

But as alot will agree it is best not have a ferret lay up in the first place.

When ever I find a stray ferret wandering around, it never has a collar on, but then if it had a collar on, would it be wandering around in the first place?

Good point there stealthy.... would people take more care if they had £50 of kit hanging around their ferrets neck?
