    Would the prize be a days mink trapping with you D.S? Another point -Surely the rats measuremaent must include tail .If the tail is cut short then its not a contender .OVERALL length surely.

    [The Silver and the BEW genes are both the same, the silver is how this ferret started off and in his next year he was DEW or BEW] heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey.Explain this in finer detail mate .I'm no stranger to genetics but this leaves me bewildered The genes of whites and polecats are different.The bew is closer to the white albino than the polecat ferret and the silver has polecat blueprint ,just different colour.

    More pics of that dog please mate [in action ]

    Its good to try different methods mate .Some ,as yours did ,fall flat ,but others open up whole new avenues .

    Nice bag there lads .

    Couple of points I'd change mate -1] The bait needs to be more pungent ,mink are drawn first to a land based bait by smell. 2]The lure stick ,while being a good thing ,should be under the trap,between bait and plate or on the plate .If the lure is the draw and to the side ,then there is a strong chance of the trap being turned over as the mink tries to find the source .EXPERIENCE.

    The person who feeds 'em is the one who decides what's important. Very true just dont breed from it .

    The reason for feeding the raw complete diet is that is is just that -Complete .Dont waste your money on the supplements as they are NOT NEEDED.

    Out first light on Friday with no real expectations of a shot due to the weather,absolutely swilling down. Decided on a walk around a quarry I have which would be the most escluded place for a deer to lie up on this farm .Checked out the surrounding area with the bino's and saw nothing so a slow walk into the quarry mouth was in order .A rabbit bolted at my feet and around the corner and must have disturbed some deer as I heard the clicking of hocks before I saw them.Peered around the first hedge and saw the biggest roe buck I'd ever seen ,stood staring straight at me .I knew he wouldnt be a

    This should be the sticky for the site ,well versed mate .Airguns make a mess occassionally!

    What nobody has failed to mention is that of RECESSIVE GENES .That is to say ,how is the silver bred or the black eyed white .If they come from true breeding parents[those that throw only that colour ]then the chances of deformities are higher when bred to a ferret of similar breeding but a different colour.IE-as you say ,a bew to a silver mit .These two ferret colourations are misfits really ,bred from a chance breeding off two normal coloured ferrets ,some time ago .These original parents had genetic defects ,affecting the colouration which we found attractive .The problem lies in that the c

    Has he a touch of beddy about him mate or just linty coated .

    Worst year ever .Geared myself up with extra ferrets this autumn as numbers were at an all time high ,then wallop,lucky to see 10 all night on previously heaving pastures .Not seen the dead and dying of the mxy scurge so some are saying its RHD?

    I thought they issued coppers with something more than bamboo sticks .lol.On the serious side ,just as well they stopped the c-unt as hed have killed someone the other side that bridge .
  18. Squirrel_Basher
    Nice account mate .Bet you don't forget it again .
  19. Squirrel_Basher
    Having found out you are in Eire mate ,this would seem the way forward .Messing about with a mink on the pole and a part open trap door is asking for a bite or escaped mink ,or both .

    King ratcatcher -do you as your name suggests ,use the ratcatcher airguns .Had a lot of success with my one on the rats and squirrels .Cheers and happy new year
  21. Squirrel_Basher
    Its also a disgrace,and probably illegal to trap the very rare ,bulgey eyed,snake tailed rat but hey...............
  22. Squirrel_Basher
    The diet you described is spot on mate .If you include some greens of some sort ,the supplement would not be needed .
  23. Squirrel_Basher
    Hes not bad -for a yank .lol.Christ -one out of five would of done me .
  24. Squirrel_Basher
    No such thing as overkill .Dead is dead is dead.As long as no suffering occured then its fine by me .Probably shot off the end of the barrel anyway ,squirrel thought that silencer was a pheasant feeder-lol.

    A well trained lurcher is a bonus at a dig and for marking especially .Its the run-amok lurcher that digs at holes and is never in the right place when needed that annoys me .As to the sport aspect ,lol,If a keeper around us thought you were there to enjoy yourself then you'd be out ,lol.Lurchers need to be restained on a slip if a bolt is required as they always seem to be wrong sided if left loose .OMO.
