    As far as personal experience of racoon digging goes, i have none.... but ive read loads about working terriers in other countries, especially Europe, but also USA. Most terriers suitable for earthwork will work coon no bother at all, and as far as ive read, they are not as punishing as a fox for an earthdog to takle... Greg Donnell (rip) for instance, who was a regular writer in the EDRD magazine, dug groundhog, racoon, fox and possum with his terriers, and I dont think I ever read that his terriers struggled with the task of coon digging at all....

    Guinneas wont keep vermin away, but they will let you know when its about thats for sure... You tell them apart not by the horn on the head, but the wattle type dangly bits on the chin... now this isnt the correct terminology but the way ive remembered it is that the males have balls, and the females have flaps Its easy to tell them apart once you know this... hope this helps

    Nice size fox cage there, its like an old one I used to use on a pheasant shoot, where I helped when I was a young lad. We had it perminently alongside a release pen..... had some luck with it too!! cheers, DnN

    Are they made by the same person who advertised in the Earthdog Running dog magazine?? Also Pat (warrener) reviewed them on his lurchers hounds and terrier work DVD... Cheers, DnN

    I like his stuff, and have seen and dug to a fair few terriers of his breeding..... a good example of typical grafting russells in my opinion.

    I was moling today on the fells, seen these..... And on the low ground, these.... What breeds are these then?????????????

    Yes too wide!! But you could fix it by attatching a long flap of chicken mesh along each side of the entrance, make the flap about 8 inches wide. then using some soft wire, like garden wire etc, you need to make the lowest part of the strips of wire to be about 6 inch apart from each other. Ive had magpies get out sometimes, and this can be stopped by putting a bit of mesh blocking 6-8 inches either end of the entrance.

    I always caught more kestrels when I used young rabbits as bait.... but ive caught both crows and kestrels together, so they certainly wont put a crow off going in thats for sure, just a pain in the arse more than anything.... Only thing I can think of that will possibly put them off is to use bigger bait!!
  22. dogs-n-natives
    Its a polecat for sure... plenty up my way.... cant be sure from the pic if its a feral ferret or not but if you say it was huge compared to your large hob, id guess its at least part wild polecat, as they get very big. Not likely Phil, they dont tame up well.... ive tried in the past, even bred a female of mine with a wild male and the two younguns I kept out of the cross were not too tame and belive me i put the time in with them... time wasted i must add!

    Option 1: Take ill ferret to vet, to be humanely put to sleep. Option 2: Humanely dispatch yourself. My opinion: I would do it myself, same with an aged dog which needs pts... then I will happy in the knowledge that my ferret has died instantly with no pain and no stress from being taken to vets. Totally legal if done properly with utmost respect for your animal. And so it should be, why pay someone to do something which you can do a better job of yourself? Edited to say, the vets bills are not the issue with me at all, and if any of my ferrets are needing a vet they see one asa
