I agree mate, offcourse you still need manage them, and don’t let them over do it. I’m of the opinion if your pup has bad genetics a bit of ferreting will expose it, by time its 12 mths old you will see if it’s injury prone. Keep that same pup back and run it later it will still break down, seen it many times, pro’s and cons to both methods, but I will always start mine young and at the end of their career s you can see whats what. I will run my pups, but I won’t ruin them.

It’s my opinion that people who hold dogs back until physically mature, are doing the breed a disservice, you hear all sorts of rubbish about it, but the fact is if your dog breaks down in the first 12 months why the F would you want to breed from it? If what I say isn’t true, Why then are their dogs of a particular line that are specifically bred that are renowned for their soundness, in the wild nature takes care of this on it’s on, but we keep genetically inferior dogs that would normally die in the first 12 months in the wild, and breed from them.

I think helping people is in your nature, people are usually givers or takers. Day two, and the Hob is a lot better than he was yesterday, by weeks end he should be right

Cheers Ray. I have been managing an injury she has had for a while now, hard to keep the weight off her since I got her fixed up, she eats like pig, and they have access to as much dry food as they want. Her weight will drop again pretty quickly now she is working again. There is plenty of pro's and cons to when to start a pup, each to their own I say, but the proof is always in the pudding, most of mine go the distance, work all year round, day/night, and do ok, so I must be doing something right. A.T.B mate take care.

As long as you enjoy it thats the main thing, I love what I do, have always kept ferrets, and been an active hunter since I was a kid, I'm still learning too.

R.I.P old boy. I know how it feels

Some years and areas have more than others, but it will never get back to how it was pre mixi that’s for sure, a lot more people now , and we are building over their habitat more and more this is a huge country and in some places they still do reach plague proportions, a couple of places I still go you can still take 100+ in a night with a gun and the dogs, usually just before summer when the numbers are biggest and most kits are at least ¾ grown, as for ferreting I average about 50 a week over the year which isn't big numbers at all considering how many hours I put in, but I'm happy with what

After Jonesy left he took the ferret I gave him, picked up his kids and went back to try her out, so good to see this makes it all worthwhile.

Recently I was contacted on one of my social media pages, by a younger guy now known as Jonesy, who asked if he could tag along and pick up a few tips about ferreting so he could start to take his kids out to enjoy the sport. He explained he knew very little about ferreting and had recently bought a few young ferrets, amongst them was a very nice silver Buck, he said was very aggressive I said no problem, bring the buck over and I will work with it for awhile and see if I can tame him down a bit. Well he wasn’t wrong he was as savage as I have seen, bit right through my leather glove

I also gave him that Jill I had given to me a few weeks ago and told him she worked ok, will do you till the others are old enough to work.

I dip the whole ferret (not the head )in Malaban wash, not that you need too but it doesn't hurt, kills fleas and ticks too

Hey guy’s I hope all are well and enjoying life. Yesterday I was out and about as usual, this time with a friend Mark, who doesn’t mind a bit of shooting over the burrows, our destination I assured him would accommodate this activity. This place has some spectacular scenery, holds some very old and fond memories for me; I hadn’t been here for quite some time. Hope you enjoy the video as much as I did revisiting this gem of a place.

He is disappointed the season is ending, this is his way of asking you To immigrate to Australia where there is no such thing as a season. -
Those golf course rabbits are well educated, hard to catch, and bolt at least you got a few, always good to have a few local you can go at.
