  1. FTB your not an idiot ftb, i agree with a lot you say... i can prove it with locators and differednt ferrets...atb russ The fact that some go deeper than others backs up my statement that some are better workers than others - it's just a different way of putting it. I did state that in my first post. FTB
  2. In all honesty, you don't know what goes on underground so I cant understand how you can come to such a conclusion. But hey ho, I'm just an idiot. FTB
  3. That guy is a fanny. I would pay 10 quid for his DVD...purely for comedy value. FTB
  4. Your entitled to your opinion - but I think it's wrong. I have witnessed my own ferrets getting better as the season progresses, and better still as the years progress. FTB
  5. I am of the very firm belief that a ferret is only as good as the work it sees - i.e, the more you work them the better they get. Some are definately better than others and I would only breed off the best for this reason. At the end of the day if a ferret only gets to work a few days a year it will always be shit. FTB
  6. You could make a fortune on ferret russian roulette with one of those bad boys! FTB
  7. I would say the opposite. In an area near here you would never see any of the above in recent years, but this year there have been lapwings and curlews on the ground. I can't explain why, as farming practices haven't changed - maybe I just didn't notice them before!. Plus I have been there for 4 years and vermin gets shot on sight - with wings or without - purely to protect the hares. FTB
  8. Nice one , they look decent enough animals. FTB
  9. No mate, I meant to post on here when it buggered off! I put it out onto it's perch the day before yesterday and it had it's breakfast and flew the nest! The roost is only 330 yards away as the crow flies, (sorry! ) and there had been a few crows watching from the rooftops as I was feeding it. Later that day I saw one sat next to it in the apple tree, and that was it. It's OK, this is a hunting site, you can tell us the truth - you got fed up and chapped it diddn't you? FTB
  10. I ferret a valley in Dumfries that they often fly through pretty damn low. Gets me every time. FTB
  11. Thanks for that guys,, Sorry i did not put down a budget its about £1000 max. Just sold all of my shotguns apart from one which i will keep for pigeons etc, So will start shopping about. Steve. .223/22.250/ 222 / 243 and any in between. The list is endless, personally you will do well with any of the above for foxes. One word of advice is buy as good a second hand scope as possible. You may pick up a secondhans swarovski/schmit/pecar scope for £800 or so. Get a cheap rifle and I guarantee you wont regret it. Shop around and go private if you c
  12. When I was about 16 year old, I had a vet bill of 2 grand for my springer bitch... She was my first dog and I havent regretted doing it once. I had to work like feck to get the money together, you may as well have called me Clint, but it was worth it. Now, on the other hand, if I had a dog where the treatment would outweigh the cost of buying and rearing a pup to that standard I dont know if I would do it. If the dog gets an injury out working, I think it's your duty to get it sorted. If spending a little money will get it working again then it's worth it. A lot of the things vets do
  13. I have a litter of cubs in an old stone built hunt artificial at the minute. The artificial had dissapeared as through time it had filled in and had been dug that many times it's caved in in places. This year, however the foxes re opened it and it is a topper. Runs for nearly 50 metres on a hill top with two chambers. Built completely from local stone slabs, buried deep enough the cattle dont trample it in. Built over 100 years ago, it's some piece of work and it makes my artificials look like a right half arsed job. Friendly with a guy who has had 5 out it in one day, hopefully the
