    Hi my Jack Russell pup Oz is 9months old now can anyone tell what’s the best age to start him ratting? I have been offered to tag on with a rat pack in my area when Oz is ready. He comes ferreting with us and loves it he’s started showing signs of marking the holes. Our back garden is big and backs onto fields with horse stables in so at certain times of the year we get a fair few rats in the garden, the neighbour doesn’t help by throwing loaves of bread out all over her garden for the bloody seagulls. We have got five mk4 fenn traps in tunnels constantly running around the garden and we do w

    Have used both but prefer the MK3 each to their own

    So sorry to hear that you are another victim of the low life scum that we have to share a world with these days. Whoever it is obviously knows you or knows of you which makes it even worse they have no feeling or Conscience so it’s no good trying to appeal to it. We had a load of ferreting gear stollen years ago and since then have never kept it outside in sheds outhouses again. I’d like to say hope you get it back but the police are about as much use as an ash tray on a motorbike, keep your eyes online cos these low life’s are not only vermin they are normally a bit thick so they may just try

    Absolutely not you can never handle ferrets to much the more the better ours are constantly handled and they work great

    Hi Phil yeah I try to only give em a run out when it’s dry but I still hang um up at the end of the day anyway, we did a couple of warrens a few years ago that was under a load of bramble that the farmer had mowed down for us we tried a nylon longnet!! What a mistake took about a week to get all the crap out of it, yet micks hemp longnets did pick up a bit of crap but only a small fraction on what the nylon one did, things have moved on a lot in the 44yrs iv been ferreting most for the better but not all. Look after yourself

    We have quite a few long nets trammel nets and stop nets of all different sizes but the 2 I love to dig out now and again are two 25yd traditional hemp long nets that I bought off the late mick mansbridge many years ago they are still are as the day I bought em, they don’t tend to pick up as much crap off the ground as the nylon ones and they catch great, I know hemp is out of trend now but sometimes it’s good to revisit the past!!

    That is early very for myxi it’s spread by fleas and fleas are normally dormant this time of year. Regards the golf course they will soon get back to yer when the rabbits start digging up the fairways and putting greens, we have 4 golf courses as part of permissions and they have only got to see 3 currants of rabbit poop and they are on the phone saying they are overrun with them lol
  13. max abell
    They look a trio of trouble lol Our team of 12 has taken us a few years of trying to breed the best to the best with gamekeeper friends of ours to get the best workers best to best doesn’t always mean you’ll get the best but having good bloodlines gives you a better chance than breeding crap to more crap. Hope these turn out good workers for you!!!

    Yeah will do I used to have his number but I deleted it somehow bloody technology lol. I had a big ferreting job for him if he wanted it as iv not got time but I had to give it to someone else now as the land owner was going a bit loopy about all the rabbits eating her farm

    We try and do a bit of clearing the brambles a couple of weeks before we intend to ferret certain warrens with the petrol strimmer fitted with a brush cutter also some of the land owners clear cover out the way with the tractor hedge cutter if we ask them We drive round the majority of our permissions so we keep the 4x4 loaded with shears loppers bill hook etc, so it’s a matter of digging your way in. Also keep in the motor a camping cooker tea and coffee and a tin of marvel for the really cold days ?️?️

    Well done nice bag of bunnies there. We get this problem regular we do a lot of national trust land and as you can imagine it’s full of walkers that’s why if we can we do it mid week less walkers around. As you say most people are fine but you do get the odd one that is a pain in the arse, we had one women one day asked us why are we being cruel and putting baby otters down rabbit holes!! and another one we had a longnet surrounding a Warren under a tree and the bloke came past and asked us is there a cat stuck up the tree!!! I rest my case ??
