What breed of ferrets are the best...?

[T78 4]

crow wing...i think ive seen some of the polecat type that you describe and they certainly look nice animals. i have a polecat with a dark ginger undercoat but his coat in general is no darker than normal.

ive got pics of true wild poleat in a cage he was wild as hell in the aberdare area, i think the guy bred him with his normal ferrets got pics of him etc black with yellow , ill stick to my tried and tested tame workers etc

ye rexes strain after old rex williams ahah , no but being seruios i done some [bANNED TEXT] rabbiting 4 days a week sometimes and then nites at roe and hares etc had a handfull of ferrets that were real good the rest were just workers , hopefully get some more this season cheers

 

 

You remind me of me Whin..we always ran a decent lurcher..my son still does..day and night and we were always either in the Tyne or the Wear after salmon and sea trout with the lamp and gaff..those were the days mate (g)

Yeah the pal who traps one every couple of years does so in Wales with the help of a keeper pal and he then releases the polecat after the job is done..like you mate I must have reliably tame ferrets..thats the only way they should be..and I will stick with domesticated stuff..

Cheers mate..did you ever meet a farmer down there name Keith Newlove..he was at Bugthorpe when I knew him..had a cracking line of jack russell terriers..nice narrow chested leggy type..his father in law was a man named Oliver Gill and I think they had the lines between them...had some great days out with them..we had one or two of these russells off him in the 1970s..real nice bloke to..proper sporting countryman..

The miners strike 1984 / 1985 was something I was involved in..also 1972 and 1974..sadly we lost the big one and Thatcherism prevailed..but during the year we were out I was into a few things..we certainly never went hungry..while I have used nets in the river I always preferred a gaff..lamping the pools where the fish were queuing up to jump..not very sporting but very productive..

 

all the best

I have had polecats albinos and silver and sandys Iknow the lighter colours are easier to see but the colour does not effect the ferrets working ability !
