    Sell me one for £20 and i'll look into it! if you dont ask you dont get, well you asked, , , and you still aint going to get , good try thought mate, Try the batterey for starters, then get an 8 ft coller to try on the 8ft boxes that can throw them off. Try them outside also, electrical equipment sends them mad.

    Up to now this season, the weather has been decent, (maybee a little hot at times) but dry. Every day out last season seemed to be dry, (plenty of days out in the snow, which was cold but dry). Today was return to the norm, cold, wet and windy! Got up there early as usual, but had to wait whilst it came light for half an hour or so, looking through the gloom and mist, only a light drizzle at this point! Tucked into the flask of soup whilst I collared up, know why I take it on days like this! Three grouse dropped in just 20 yrds away, they came closer for a look!

    Very sad to hear about animals in that state. Before you get the jill PTS just, have a look in her mouth again and check she has not got any bone stuck in the back of her jaws, stopping her mouth from closing. I know on quite a few occasions, some of mine get that problem and only pressing it away from the teeth will release it.

    Domestic ferrets do too good a job below ground for some people, and take a load of handling as young ones so they become bombproof. Its taken 100's of years to get them that way, after a few generations of them being feral they are still far too much for most. Me included!

    A fine pair of sandy's John, it a good few years since i had a few, think they came from a poley hob to an albino jill.

    Its the index finger mate and yes its sore! Bleedin bad tempered jills! Its decent going para, but its a one man workforce at present, the old kid just holds the dogs. (then he struggles the old bugger!) We both gut them, then the butcher skins them. Setting nets is a waste of time with only a few in the warrens, the dogs nail them. When i get on the slopes with the terrier later on then i'll be trying out the nets i've tied this summer!

    Didnt mate, it was just coming light, plus the task in hand has you a bit busy, and bothers me to be honest, you respect what you see in front of you, but for the greater good you have to sort it. Respect or whatever, it didnt feel right.

    Shoot the buggers as soon as you see them in the hole. There's a lot of sense in that line John, hows Col?

    Jills are nasty full stop. Ouch! They are not lost ferrets mate, they have never seen a human at close quarters, they are pure and simple feral, been bred from lost ones probably. They have ticks all over them, spit hiss and hick when near them, spray the skunky strink, and try to bite anything near them. (plus they are built like a ferret on steroids through working for a living.) Will try my best with them.

    Me and the old feller were back out today after yesterdays outing, clearing up a few areas not covered yet. Bit of a difference today though. On the days out over the last few weeks, we have noticed a lot of the bigger warrens were not carrying any numbers, and most of the rabbits have been sat out, we thought it was maybee down to mixi, but also thought the odd feral ferret may be affecting this. I have only come across 2 of these in the last 20 yrs on the land we go, one a huge hissing spitting albino hob pulled from a drop box, built like Mike Tyson which I took home and tried with no

    That's Potch in the top photo B.It's Jasper in the box with his sister Ruby(the small pipe cleaner one) .He's fine B cost us over £200 to get him right this spring as he had a bad infection off his vasectomy.He had the most fun today & killed in....just your sort of fella Poor Jasper, has his nuts disconnected, then gets an infection! sounds like the boy is getting stuck in mate, I'm not one for kills underground , but i do like the 100 percent killer mentality. They wont all come out without it!

    Nice one Andy, sounds like you have an extra pair of hands mate, make sure your lass is setting the nets in the nettles next time! (bleeding things, thistles and nettles still have my hands throbbing now!) is that Jasper in the piccies? hows he doing?

    Had our second day out today, went less mob handed than last week, me and the old chap, the three runners (the 2 young black dogs, and the old blue dog) and four ferrets (2 jills 2 hobs). Got up there at dawn, old chap had a brew whilst I collared up and got the gear ready, and we started. Gave the old blue dog Toddy first crack, he did well for a 10 yr old, snatched a few from runs and marked a couple, thats him steadied up and put him back in the truck. Out with the speed freak black dogs now Robby and Jed (My old man comes up with some crap names!), they were alternated most of

    I've got a strain of albino's that look like peas in a pod to Brimmers, I got them from someone local to me 16 years ago, I don't know where they came from originally but as Brimmer says this type have definatly been bred "Up North" for donkeys years. Hope you carry on mate, will need a bloodline soon enough!

    Your ferrets are very like the ones i saw when i first kept ferrets, yours look solid as well not these scrawney weedy things you sometimes see , today you hardly ever see lean ferrets , they seem to be far more weighty & a totally different shape They are just workers Kay, natural selection, call it what you will. Hopefully there will still be decent workers on the othere end of the scale when i need a line.

    The sibling hobs from the same lines are much more square than the jills, and look far more stocky. Albino ferrets have been a reliable working ferret up north. If they come from certain lines, then they are dying out year by year as the ferret fashion police breed the none workers. I have three jills, all are similar in frame. Two will be bred next year (none bred this year).
