  1. I don’t use Bucks, shovels or locaters much, won’t keep or breed a ferret that stays with the kill, haven’t lost more than 4 ferrets in over 45 years and put away more in a year than anyone I know, so must be doing something right. Proof is always in the pudding. It isn’t rocket science, a big buck will kill more underground and get stuck behind more than a Jill, each to their own but the digging game isn’t really an option here, so you learn fast to avoid it at all costs, yes a buck will kill them fast and move on ( If you keep a line with this trait. I do) trouble with that is they hav
  2. Good job mate would of been busy and fun day
  3. Good on ya mate good job. I find the odd one here and there, most I give away mainly because I dont work hobs which most of them are, no surprise for the wise there.
  4. Thanks mate the Jok box is still going strong.
  5. Out again with my mate Big Kev Ferreting in the morning and a relaxing afternoon fishing for a couple of hours.
  6. It is pretty small, Just over 100 acres mate
  7. Out and about with the dog's and stinkers on another new property this morning
  8. Food for thought! Where I ferret most of the time, there are visible rabbits most of the day from where I am ferreting, if my dogs didn’t pick their runs they would be dead from heatstroke or exhaustion within half an hour, running from one rabbit to the next with little to no chance of catching them before dropping in a burrow, most pups will run themselves to death without intervention, that being said the same dogs on the light usually give their all once slipped, just my two cents worth, I wasn’t there and can’t comment on your dog, but as stated above there can be MANY reasons.
  9. While out running the dogs yesterday young Fleet somehow managed to chop off about 1/3 of his tail, to my surprise it dint even slow him down, back to the car bit of antiseptic and a bandage, bleeding completely stopped by morning. It should be fine in a couple of weeks. Bloody running dogs!
  10. Sorry for your loss, I know the feeling and it sucks.
  11. I haven't seen any, then again I'm not a collie anything fan.
  12. Daughters new Lurcher Ha Ha Chase 8 months old
  13. When you use your dogs 2/3 times a week over a period of years, anything that helps maintain their enthusiasm is beneficial, when they know you want them as much as they do, some dogs work better for you, than for themselves on their off days, It can with some bring out the best in them consistently, instil this in a pup, once I know he knows it, then there is no need. I always do this with all the pups until they are about 1 1/2,. Just my way, works for me. A hobby dog ( take out couple of times a month) is a bit different imo.
  14. Bought one of these awhile back of Les Nelson, handy bit of kit, wouldn’t put my ferrets in it though ?
  15. It's ok buddy, he is almost old enough for the silent treatment, I'll be out tomorrow night, I'll take a few snaps you can see how I get on.

  18. Thats shit news, feel for ya mate. My brown bitch got hit not long ago almost had to put the car to sleep, the dog got a few scrapes and bruises.
  19. This is the video footage we took the other day, when I was out with Matt who I met via social media he hadn't been ferreting since he was back home in Ireland 7 years ago, he had a great day, and went home with a feed of bunnies.
