I agree with pretty much everything said on this thread, the problem with a lot of these sayings and phrases are you spend enough time around the morons that you use them and you start saying them ironically to take the piss and end up using them yourself ??
-
That cracked me up ???

Nice video Trev, keep em coming. Tilly doing you proud.
-
I thought exactly the same.....google tells me that apparently pet ferrets are banned but if you are a pest controller you can obtain a permit to own them purely for the hunting of rabbits ??

I have always kept mine in straw. Not fancy alovera straw though just normal run of the mill stuff personally think it’s nicer for making nests etc than shavings.

I’ve got one from nelson and would recommend it.

Completely agree. Been out twice this weekend and didn’t use nets either day, Saturday was in fairly dense woodland lots of holes not loads of rabbits. Mistake tbh dog tried hard but was hard going and he missed most of them and was probably lucky not to hurt himself. This morning went out on recently chopped ditches and hedges and catch percentage went right up. Still missed a few but terrific fun and still got quite a few.

The worlds reckless economic response to the least deadly “pandemic “ in the history of mankind will send more kids to bed hungry than at any time since WW2...the shit has yet to hit the fan.

I refuse to believe with all the benefits and universal credit (which has gone up because of Covid) that parents can’t feed there own kids for a week! The free school meals are still available during term time but this vote was purely about the half term holiday. It’s all about priorities and managing your money, where does it end? We need more Personal responsibility which just seems to be dying, we need less Government interference in our lives and less reliance on the state not more. It’s to easy for folks to just moan and claim benefits of all kinds (which is what free school meals are a b

New permissions wanted Scotland/North England
Bobtheferret replied to David84's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
Permission is a bit like money. Money makes more money and permission leads to more permission, farmers all know each other and if you come on do a job and are respectful they will speak to Dave at the next farm and so on and before you know it you have 5 or 6 farms. Work hard to get one permission, respect it and the owner and more will come. Don’t ask for permission as a first post on a hunting forum. Good luck though. -
Can the people that have no interest that there could even be a small possibility of big cats in the uk just stop coming on this thread? Or at least just read shake your head and not comment the same stuff over and over? It’s a good interesting thread and one that should just be enjoyed for what it is. Just leave it be for gods sake your adding precisely f**k all!

Thanks mate, you to. Hopefully they both turn up.

Don’t the Chinese like to eat fox?? Heard it is utterly inedible not that I have tried it myself
-
Thanks mate, I’ve put some cage traps down with rabbit in them and got landowner keeping an eye plus Mrs put it on Facebook as a footpath runs near to where I lost him. Just got to keep trying and hoping really. I lost a jill about 8 years ago and 27 days later she wondered up to a beater on a shot day fat as a pig and I got her back so there is hope.
-
Sorry for your loss mate that’s shit. It’s brutal mate but if it’s any consolation the dog died doing what he loved. We all know every time we run a dog, put it to ground etc it’s a risk but life’s a risk and would be bloody boring if we didn’t take risks and they love even more than we do. Lost my best ferret on Saturday spent all weekend looking for him and been back in the week no sign. It’s only a ferret I know, not the same as a dog, but it still hurts and hate to lose a good animal.

I get upset about digging to a rabbit over 2ft definitely not interested in a deep dig through the rocks ?. Glad you got him back ??
-
Browsing through instagram yesterday (I don’t have Facebook) there’s been some amazing numbers of rabbits caught this season already. Trevs posts just back that up, considering there’s still a lot of talk of rabbits disappearing been amazed at the volume been caught this season. One team had over 240 between 5/6 in a day! Incredible numbers. Trev you always seem to be able to produce the numbers week in week out, keep it up ??.

Personally I often find kits need a bit of time and best to be patient, some will take to it straight away but don’t give up on them if they don’t do a lot at first. Got a cracker here from last year and almost got rid as was so inconsistent. One minute great then next trip rubbish but by the end of the season he was first ferret in the box and just did the job no problem.
-
Class as always Trev. Keep posting mate always enjoy the pics and videos.
-
That’s pretty rubbish, some people’s opinions are stuck in the past unfortunately. Plenty of clueless men out there hunting and doing damage to land etc. Good luck finding some people that are a bit more open minded.

After several years resisting the locator I bought one around 20 years ago and now wouldn’t be without one. Would be a sad day for me if I went out collarless, I have several atm but hopefully by the time they break someone will be making them again. The technology is pretty simple would think for the right person or company would be a nice if niche little earner.
-
Class day mate and a quality dog in Tilly. One thing that struck me was how the warrens only looked ok, didn’t look absolutely heaving with loads of spoil etc and fresh digging but they were obviously packed with bunnies! Keep up the good work!

Personally I think all the nay sayers just need to take a step back, the tone is getting fairly aggressive and all basically aimed at poor Greyman. I enjoy reading what he has to say and whilst I think it unlikely there are big cats in the uk no one can be 100% sure either way but I would LOVE greyman to get his evidence. Until then let’s just not force the one man that keeps this thread readable by constantly belittling his beliefs. Spread the love gents ?

Probably the only pussy he destroyed that night after that ???

The wounds and injuries that wild animals can live with and recover from are incredible, you have to be pretty tough to make it wild ??. Human beings used to be pretty tough but in my opinion the majority have gone soft, Covid proves that with bells on!
