    Sounds like a top day mate ??
  2. Bobtheferret
    Well done mate, he looks made up. How did you get on?

    Mine all do the same! Got a court 7ft high and they hang off the roof!!! Opened the door this morning with 8 ferrets attached to it ??.

    What happened to the grew that did so well last season Trev? I read in another thread she is injured and your trying to put colliejohns Dan over her?? Real shame if she won’t run again looked incredible in your videos.

    I personally won’t worry about ped or not just make sure it’s the right dog, mine is quite biggish for a whippet which I wanted but depends what you want out of the breeding. Take your time and find the right stud to compliment your bitch.
  6. Bobtheferret
    Mum was a non ped and Dad was ped. First whippet I have owned but very pleased with him.

    Don’t know anyone that breeds them but there’s plenty out there, when I got mine (2 years ago) just looked for worker cross worker and found a nice litter bred for owners own use and got a cracking pup. Got as much chance of that as anything I would say.

    That is a perfect explanation of my I voted leave! This should be shown nationwide on all tv channels, I have always said the EU was about power for the unelected and the lack of accountability for those in charge was the major flaw in the EU project. It sounds a bit extreme but Nazi germany was about trying to make Europe one by force and frankly could you say the EU “project” is really that different? Both led by Germany with a view to having one glorious super country led by them, both have very little tolerance for anyone not buying into the master plan, both working against the will of th

    What a lovely offer, fair play mate. Hope you find someone decent that listens and learns ??

    I take your point and understand what your saying but why is it (I am a southerner I am genuinely curious) that certain areas just refuse to vote Tory no matter how much it actually makes sense for them to do so? I also think your point about brexit party and Tory’s doing deals on candidates is a good one but not sure it will happen unless Boris commits to a no deal which he hasn’t at the moment.

    I genuinely despair that I live in country and time when people can actually vote for a party like labour with a leader like Corbyn. How blinkered are people that they can’t see that a man that has supported almost every major terrorist organisation (or at least made excuses for them) and wants to bring socialism of the worst kind to this country (look at Venezuela) has zero actual economic policies and has people like Diane Abbot in his top team would be nothing but a complete disaster for our country. The man can’t even stop antisemitism in his party! People on the left keep saying Bor

    Get your current dog working and trained first and then think about getting another one. Training one dog is hard enough let alone two! Good luck with your dog.

    Went out Tuesday for a little look with the lamp and caught 3 doe rabbits all pregnant and at a relatively early stage and all milky also, this felt pretty late to me as normally they would have stopped by now, these rabbits were about a month from being born still. Are other people finding this? No bad thing in my opinion but I’ll leave them be for a bit longer, grounds still hard and cover high anyway.
  14. Bobtheferret
    That’s a serious haul of rabbits ??. How big an area and how many snares was that?
  15. Bobtheferret
    Touch that, sounds ideal.
  16. Bobtheferret
    Could you not have a walk round with an air rifle or something until the cover etc has dropped off? Just to show willing. That’s what I do on the permissions that want all year round control, ferreting this time of year is super hard work! Even with the rain three foot digs in August must be hard going!

    By the looks of the pictures on social media and some of the write ups in the air gun section there are large numbers of rabbits in some areas and very few in others but this is basically what has been said on these pages for the last few years what’s a little more promising (in some areas) is people saying they are seeing rabbits in places they haven’t for a while which would suggest they are coming back after being wiped out. It’s also very promising to note that after RVHD2 was released in Australia they seemed (from my reading on the subject and a few conversations with Aussies) to develop

    Whilst there’s no doubt that hunting rabbits all year round, night vision and excessive hunting have had a negative impact on rabbit numbers those things pale into insignificance compared to RVHD2. That is without doubt why populations fall from decent to almost nothing over a few weeks, when you add in that mixi is still very much present it’s not hard to see why the poor rabbit is struggling. This may be wishful thinking but they will recover, rabbits do build up immunity to both mixi and RVHD. When mixi first struck people thought that was the end of the rabbit yet they came back. I do howe
  19. Bobtheferret
    Good write up and a good result. Any signs off mixi round your way? Numbers look reasonable round me but mixi is definitely about, just hoping it doesn’t wipe them out.

    I thought the rabbit looked alive still as soon as I saw it!!!!! ???

    RHD2

    Bobtheferret replied to jigsaw's topic in General Talk

    Personally think it’s absurd that badgers are protected they should be able to be controlled, perhaps not completely unchecked but definitely need controlling in some way. The damage there digging does to the land is unbelievable and as stated they are very destructive to other animal species. There numbers have increased 10 fold round my way they are basically a pest that you aren’t allowed to do anything about.

    RHD2

    Bobtheferret replied to jigsaw's topic in General Talk

    RVHD2 has been in England for close to 10 years and RVHD for nearly 30 years it’s bad but as Micky said they seem to recover and develop immunity. In Australia it only took approximately 15 years from release to the point that it was of negligible affect on them so hopefully it’s not curtains for the humble rabbit due to RVHD! I fear it won’t be the last non natural disease introduced to try to end the poor coney! The rabbit is a born survivor though so hopefully will always been around.
  23. Bobtheferret
    f**k me that’s a lot of rabbits!!! Hopefully they are still there come September ??
  24. Bobtheferret
    I really hope he has been banned.... ruined to many threads. Been nice and friendly recently ??

    I am sure your ferrets are doing absolutely fine by the sound of it, it’s hard to know without being there but with no collars and not loads of experience it might be that your jills are killing below ground and you don’t even realise. How long are you waiting between bolts? How many ferrets are you putting down and what size of Warren are you working? If they are smallish sets and ferrets go 10-15 minutes between bolting any rabbits there is every chance they could be killing and you don’t even realise it. Depending on the ferret that is plenty on time to kill especially if there is more than
