    poke net

    Mitch replied to richi's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting

    The Scottish Pokenet, A double pegged Purse net with Wire sliders instead of rings. Purses from both ends unlike the standard Pursnet. Mate get your self some kit and stitch up a few. Its not hard its better than reading a book

    Im sure Mr waters would have something to say about this. Its a shame it certainly is. The few that do it wrong out of arrogance tend to ruin the 'Art' for everyone

    Interesting Stuff Nightrunner, I have read an article on Rabbits, now i am talking European Rabbits, the ones introduced into Australia. It has been tested and found out that Rabbits do not track down there food by scent, so adding and smelly numbers to bait or for lure is not going to attract them from my understanding. Anyone else experienced this.,

    Too Clear things up, I didnt really refer to them as pests but i understand what you are saying When people are reading they may miss understand. I love watching hares run i truelly think they are a terrific game animal. Around my area they are found in 2 or three's here and there so i spose you could say it is nice to have them around. Its great to see them especially with a dog running them, They trully are athletes, But they can get into pests proportions in particulay areas and cause a few people problems in the rare case. I eat all the game i catch, by dog, gun or

    It is a good one isnt it, Is it also possible to take hares in Fenn traps ect... You lads mightnt understand but we are from Australia and hares can be a problem down here,
  11. Mitch
    They are all tools required for the Job. A snare will work better than a trap in some places, A trap in others. When you are in my situation, the are feral animals and have to go. So we need as many tools as possible

    Would Doubling up your whippets give less of a chance of injury?
  13. Mitch
    You will saught them out with these snares mate

    She looks like my girl is she a Deerhound X ?

    I have a locater and they are great. But i prefer the bolt as this is the most exiting part of ferreting IMO, especially when you have a dog to course the rabbit or a Longnet for the rabbit to hit. But I dont mind a dig if the ground is right I just dont see the point of leaving a dead rabbit or rabbits to ground i feel its a waste.

    When you say starting, Are we talking about giving them the odd run here and there or are you refering too, 3- 4 nights a week on the lamp
  17. Mitch
    Your a lucky bugger steve!! She will be hitting the sharp stuff soon mate, and plenty of it when she gets the hang And Hares aswell
  18. Mitch
    Abit of fencing wire, Bent around a [bANNED TEXT] bolt

    lol they where gutted when i was out in the field. And to my suprise yes that doe had kits, I have done alot of retreive training with her and she will retreive a toy with rabbit fur ect... But when she catches a rabbit she hasnt put two and two together yet. So she needs more practice with the retreiving of the rabbits. I can get her to do it in the backyard but she still needs more practice with retreiving

    Hey guys, Gave my girl her first decent run on the lamp tonight. I got a lightforce 170 and a battery pack and decided this was the best way to do it and it will give her the best chances. I am well chuffed
