    good point. I was always taught no talking, definitely no smoking, keep noise to a minimum but sometimes as you say it makes no difference. I have also run a rabbit to ground with little dog and turned a Ferret in straight away and rabbit has bolted, yet always been told this is a definite sin. sometimes they bolt, sometimes they don't.

    some ferrets kill and lie up far more than others. some won't stay with stubborn rabbits others will stay till pancake day. no crackpot falconer will ever change that.

    to call someone a armchair hunter who you have never met is bit childish in my opinion. I speak to chaps in there 60s and 70s who have had a lifetime at it Derbyshire men and they are experiencing the same.

    I have to agree with you. I think badger numbers have a big effect on rabbits. some people won't have it but it's no coincidence. I have seen hedgerows and embankments were there were good rabbit setts now taken over by badgers huge mounds of earth.

    dog marked 2 setts in places where I didn't think there was any left. never seen more than a single rabbit here for last few years. resisted temptation to ferret them in the hope they get back but if someone else does them it will have been pointless.

    it's all the do gooders saying things are bad for you. you can make statistics mean anything. they force fed a rat 62 hot dogs......... and it died. so don't eat hot dogs.

    happy days sadly gone forever. you have hit it perfectly there. early 80s pheasants £5 a brace and people in the pubs snapped your hand off. now they give them away.

    in Derbyshire here. there was a rumour someone had seen a rabbit but after thorough investigation it was proved a hoax.

    I have seen more mixy this year than I have in years gone bye. I still believe its a bigger killer than rvhd. how does dales, Northumberland, etc still produce big numbers despite these 2 diseases decimating other parts of the country?

    Good write up. I call that a good mooch, 2 rabbits, dogs done it's job so has the ferret, best not comment on your performance ?. that's my type of ferreting these days 1 jill little dog and half a dozen nets.

    as a young man in the 80s Lincolnshire was the promised land for us lads of the east Midlands. we lamped, longnetted and ferreted right through the seasons. we often shot double figures on the grass verges using a little 3 bore, also known as a garden gun. now when I visit Lincolnshire I can't believe how the numbers have disappeared.

    when you have never had permission it changes nothing. you carry on doing what you have always done.

    I take that as a personal insult Mr Wilkes, I have never I repeat never smelt of sherry.

    I rest my case as you have answered it perfectly.

    Couldn’t agree more with you on that. getting caught on land I see it as a personal fxxck up on my behalf and try and take measures to avoid it?

    well if you don't go mob handed ranting and raving at them they probably would.

    not that old chestnut, entirely a different thing anyway if that happened the chap who comes in to polish my shoes would see him on his way.

    sometimes it can be the farmers that cause problems. you can get roughhouse behaviour from them. the get off my land brigade who can be bully boy's. it's not all one way.

    he killed a rabbit he's either a lucky man or a fxxxcking liar.

    I was up there in September on holiday with the Mrs and took little dog with me. went walking in the hills and I have never seen so many rabbits in my life. they were dropping in setts and before dog got back to me they were sat out again.

    I have missed you Mr Wilkes

    lol its just most people I know use them for ferreting. don't you find them cumbersome?
  24. fred90
    you say they are the best, have you used them for night netting or just ferreting micky?.
  25. fred90
    it must be hard to be discreet with a quick sett. they look cumbersome to me.
