Shrubber 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I've acquired some land that is over run with rabbits but the farmer seems to have a fetish for corrugated metal. There are old sandpits with metal dumped into them where obviously the rabbits have realized they're on to a good thing and dug warrens under the all the junk cos they're virtually bomb proof. The ferrets manage to get around it OK but would a ferret finder work if the ferret is under layers of metal sheeting? Also,most of the warrens are dug into steep banks so the warren probably goes down quite a way. All of the ferreting videos I've seen are set in nice,clear meadows with little more than a tree to get in the way. From my experience though,its never that ideal so will a locator actually work in less than ideal situations? Quote Link to post
auld salmon 28 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 your answer to the ? is yes but remember if your ferret lays up you will have some digging personaly i wouldnt put any of mine down a set were i had no chance of digging them out i found some sets which are in amongst rubble big slabs of concrete thats a Quote Link to post
The one 8,494 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The mk3 should but the mk1 would scream its head off near metal, fences etc Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Try poking a MK3 collar in one of the holes and see if it gets picked up properly, if it does, then get on with it, if it doesn't, walk away and find some thing easier. Quote Link to post
Fat-Ferret 857 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I have a MK3 and find it goes mental when I use it near the railway lines where I ferret. Quote Link to post
