Cant understand you mate.You are pissed off that the sport you enjoy is banned but you would like to see some other persons sport banned just because you dont agree? Double standards or what? shooting hares, SPORT,dont make me laugh its the control of a species and nothing else yes its shooting to control numbers,some shots are easy some are testing,the disadvantage of being a good shot esecialy if your walking is you have to carry the hares,no fun on soft muddy ploughing,i prefer to course them but shooting can be good sport to

try simon whitheads new book the essential guide to ferreting,its very well written and has some of the best photos on ferreting to be seen,if anyone is just starting out its a mine of infomation which you can refer back to at any time and with a whole chapter on ferret locaters it will answer the frequently asked question how does the mk3 locater work,cost £20 or if you go on amazon you might get it cheaper, with a book like this,you can refer back to different matters ie locters when your not sure ,aa half day or even a full day even if you cram it full is a lot to take in,what are you look

Will fill in the gory details soon, but in short loads of duck, but lots of sods law and poor shooting by me. I got two goldeneye, a drake on the eden and a hen on the Tay, my mate got one wigeon, but we missed many more. They were like rockets in a 35mph wind! Just ate the Hen goldeneye, seared and braised with a haw and orange gravy, yum I'll post more when I get a moment which wont be too soon! look forward to your post,save us some duck and orange gravy to go with it,jim

if your failing with the spinners,pop down the supermarket for some sprats and try wobbling or sink and draw,if you feel like a break just let it sink to the bottom and it still fishes as a dead bait,all else failing to catch take the remaining sprats home and cook em for tea,very nice all the best
