    That's good going, if your looking for a larger long net I would recommend two fifty yard over length of hundred or two twenty five rather than fifty alot more versatile when ferreting. The best nets I have are five yard stop nets! Great bits of kit! So much more enjoyable and easier ferreting with a dog, some days I would have come home with an empty carrier if it wasn't for the dog.

    Yer they are handy and save alot of time! I've got a beddy x whippet

    I've got a mate who makes them for me when I need some. Alot of my ferreting is hedgerows so I try to use long nets and stop nets through the hedge to reduce noise trampling over the burrows putting purse nets on and let the dog roam mopping them up as the rabbis pop out.
  4. Jarvis
    Not good!!! Haha! That's good of him, it's good to know how to do your own nets!

    Not a bad day, lots of wasps about but I don't mind, they make me money yer too much digging, got one Jill which kills and moves on though. I try to talk customers out of it till autumn winter but just do small jobs or where customers are desperate to have it done. Do you have dans nets and long net aswell?

    That's good then, hope tomorrow goes well. If the winter is as mild as last year there will still be nettles hanging around in January, I was catching 3/4 grown in December, just breeding all year round! Weirdest thing for me is ferreting in the summer for work in shorts just feels wrong!

    How are the polecat jills, they must be 6-7 now? Great cheers mate I'll let you know when I'm next out. If I've got any large jobs on and need a hand I'll let you know.

    Oh bloody hell not good! Yer he was a real friendly chap! I'm away on holiday to the 12th but when I'm back I'll send you a message and can arrange a trip out. Got a couple of hobs I want to give a run out on some small burrows so would be good to have a hand. Have you got any work on at the moment?
  9. Jarvis
    Oh right yer I borrowed his hob the other month to bring my jills out of season and he said he had given them to someone. I bred his polecat jills. I've always got plenty of ferreting on, you could come for a few outings if your interested.

    Yes I was on the course with Dan, he's doing well aswell working for a consultancy company.if I get any jobs I need a hand on I'll let you know. I got some flyers made up on vistaprint only cheap to do and look professional and have got me a good amount of work. If you do a good job one job will always lead to another. For example I went to a mole job, last week, handed them a flyer as I turned up and he saw I did squirrel control and tree work so now have 7 fruit trees to prune aswell as his squirrels.

    Hi mate, good little advert of yourself. You didn't by any chance go Moulton College? I did the same course at Moulton college 7 years ago, started up a small round of maintenance jobs on days off and weekends. I then did the land management degree and started up on my own and haven't looked back! I undertake all aspects of land management from mowing, tree work , domestic commercial and agricultural fencing and pest control. Got so much work on I'm seven days at week at the moment. If your passionate enough and are willing to get your name out there you will always find work. Just my opi

    This is best way to do it with multi catch.

    I saw them on Mick dadd's stand. I personally wouldn't want one, would do my head in flapping around. If I remember rightly they were £15 might be wrong, but could just use some old material and get a needle and strong thread and make your own for next to nothing. But I'm a tight git!

    Like the look of that bottom entry one. I made a similar side entry one and only issue is its not as discreet, as when trapped half a squirrel is dangling out.
  15. Jarvis
    Yes know what you mean I just have 4-5 I've made and have on small garden jobs and work well.
  16. Jarvis
    I've made pretty much the same boxes, work really well on the squirrel jobs I've used them on. Because the look like a bird box aswell general public don't pay an attention to them.
  17. Jarvis
    I've had a Jill kill young at about five weeks just as eyes were opening. Just bitten through their skulls and some half eaten, not a nice scene to find! I put it down to a disturbance in the night.even the calmest of Jills can turn when they have young.

    Hi folks. Does anyone know where to get good priced mounts for a yukon photon xt, to fit on my cz 452. Thanks
  19. Jarvis
    I NEVER do anything with the hills, until the traps are set. Once set, you'd be surprised how many moles you catch as you're knocking the hills flat.... Get the traps in first..... Thanks for the tip I'll do that. generally I start setting at one end then level off as I go along so I can see where I have been.I'll try your advice, cheers.
  20. Jarvis
    Spraying isn't a bad idea. I generally level off the mounds then set the traps out. I then put mounds of earth over the traps I've set. that way members of the public just think it's a mound but it's the perfect disguised marker for you.

    Are they not the Talpa traps with the loops.Talpex is flat bar the shape of a goal post? Yes your right the ones with the loops are 'Talpas'. I have used the original Talpex as well and the springs are so powerful! I find the Talpas work as well and are able to be pushed into the run walls and break through easily enough once triggered.
  22. Jarvis
    I've only just started using them and I think they're great! Brilliant for that little sod of a mole which insists on filling your traps up with dirt. I had a job 3 weeks ago and this little sod was giving me the run around for a week. I looked into theses traps ordered a couple and the day after I had set them I had the blighter! Some of these traps have loops on the top of them to make setting easier. Only problem is they stand out a bit when they have been triggered... And are a magnet to two legged pests.
  23. Jarvis
    Cheers. Just put them together myself. Looked at old topics on here of squirrel trapping and got a few ideas of different boxes. They are good in places where you have be inconspicuous, as people just think they are bird houses, that is until there is half a squirrel hanging out!! Job was in a back garden, had three and have not seen any more in a week and no bait taken so hopefully that's it. Got a new squirrel job in an attic tomorrw so hopefully get some more good pictures...

    I think in years gone by bull x's were used but they are just spoken of more now and are very much in vogue at the moment. It's similar to how jack Russells were popular now it's moving towards patterdales. Personally I'll be sticking with my whippetxbeds but it's horses for courses and everyone has preferences So good luck to them.

    Had to dig to a Jill, had hold of the doe in its nest in a stop end. Wasn't any young but I think the other jills got to them before I dug them out. Luckily was only 1.5ft dig.
