I agree & as no one else was there to say one way or another what the animal was off this board lets just put it down to experience , before it gets totally silly & yet another pet worker debate Thanks kay, i thought i was putting myself into the firing line then. I was expecting 3 pages of people telling me what a twat i am.

I think we are all jumping on the bandwagon a bit here. The lad said he had his ferret in his hand so there was no chance of shooting his ferret and by the sound of it (whatever we eventually decide it was), it wasnt acting very 'domesticated'. Alot of folks would have shot it in the same situation as i probably would if i was doing ferreting for pest control as it would only be a potential danger to your ferret in the future if left (judging by the size of it i would imagine it could easily kill a jill). Of course there is the line of thought that it is doing the land owner a favour by predat

Ive done a fair bit of it, can be great fun but can also be frustrating as hell if you get rabbits that 'hole hop' all the time. I usually use my auto with no more than half choke but usually skeet if im out soley for rabbits. Not suited to all lands though, i prefer to net where possible usually, but then im a shite shot.

You will not find any legislation supporting your view. In the eyes of the law, your animals are classed as your property. It is not an offence to destroy your own property. It's against the law to be cruel to an animal, but if you destroy it without being cruel, there's not a court in the country that could convict you. It is only an offence to kill a protected species, and seeing as how the domesticated ferret is not a protected species, you can do whatever you want to do to it, as long as it's not classed as cruelty. Well that clears that up then, exactly what i 'thought' i knew -
totally agree with you Theres nothing illegal about euthanising your own pets as far as im aware, as long as its humane. As far as i can see the antis cant get jack shit from this thread, people put there working animals to sleep as an alternative to the vet doing it. As long as nobody says anything daft i cant see a problem with this thread. is completely ilegal and an inappropriate subject for a this forum. fair enough pal, you obviously know more than me on the matter. ill leave it there

Anybody had any experience with 3/4grey 1/4 beddy? How do they compare to the first cross?

Well obviously it depends on the situation, but if for instance one of mine took a bad mauling off of a dog or something similar then theres f**k all chance of it surviving. I dont think many would knock a ferret on the head just because it sneezed, lol.
-
Agree with you 100% there matey. It only costs £5 for a small animal consultation at my local vets, that's feck all to pay so you can at least find out what's wrong with the ferret in the first place. i agree but i do no someone who had to wack a kit over the head because it was never quite right and couldnt walk properly so he just put it out its misery Yeh deffinately, i havent got a problem with anyone who does the deed themselves, if mine ever need to be pts then i wont f**k about with a vet, not because of finances but becuase i can do it as well as any vet and a damn site fa

I agree. This is the reality for most WORKING animals, ferrets/dogs or whatever. Pet owners often love their animals to death, the life of a worker can seem harsh but imo fair. Saying that i cant stand the attitude, "its only a ferret, just a fiver"! f****n sickens me

I wasn't saying that if people werent members of BASC or CA or if they didn't donate that they were antis...Was simply thinking aloud at ways they could be kept away...My post does also say that these ideas wouldn't work because of the reasons you pointed out... Definitley agree with you about the posts people make though, if people were more thoguthful before they posted then the antis would have no ammunition to use against us and it wouldn't matter that they were here anyway! I agree with your post mate but like you say, it aint that simple. Didnt mean to sound like i was having a

Hi mate.I know we wont as they have nothing better to do.But if we can keep them out let,s try.There must be some way to vet a new member ? I agree we shoudl try and keep them out but I am not sure how new members could be vetted...I would suggest asking for proof of membership for BASC or another similar organisation but I am sure antis are also members simply to sh!t stir and cause trouble...Could also make donations compulsory as that may put them off but may also lose genuine members if they don't have payPal etc... I think we will just have to put up with them until summer comes a

I would kill for a pup bred that way! wish they had been bred 6 months later, i would snatch a pup straight off ya then. If you could, could you put the odd post up of how the pups progress (i assume your keeping one back for yourself)? Are they just rabbit dogs or do they do other stuff as well? simple yes or no will do if you dont want to go into too much detail, pm if prefer? How much beddy and bull is in the pups exactly? Just asking questions out of curiosity and to hopefully help you along with interest in them. best of luck

Ive been a member on this site for a while now, dont know anyone else on this site or owt like that and rarely put up a thread on my days hunting, not a member of BASC or the CA and havnt got paypal so i dont donate. So judging by whats been said i rekon i must be an anti! .............Bolloks! Theres reasons for all of the above, and i bet i get out more than alot of folks on here. What does it really matter if theres antis on here, let the fukas waste their time on here, if everyone would use their bloody head before engaging their typing finger the site would still be just as good, give

I shouldnt worry too much about it pal, if your a genuine lad then just be honest (like you have been here) and learn from your mistakes. Like what has already been said, the current climate has made everyone weary.

Sticking at least one in on the shoot, two if we can get enough pipe. Would rather use pot than plastic, asked around and i can't seem to get my hands on any. Anyone got any suggestions? Also i was speaking to a mate about them and he was told by one of his digging mates to use the top of a wheelie bin for the bed, anyone else do the same?

sub 3 inch, non locking blade is legal without any reason what so ever. I have a knife like this for everyday use and for most airgunner's needs it would do fine. However i do prefer a sheath knife with a good 4 inch blade which i carry on my belt whenever im out in the countryside or working. When of out in the morning shooting or whatever i always stop at the paper shop for usual snickers/redbull etc and the knife is taken out the sheath and left in the glove box. Just think and use your head and dont start getting it out in public and you should be fine. Having a good knife on me saved

Like i said, someone more knowledgeable than me, cheers foxdropper. I was just thinking out loud. -
Heres a couple of youtube vids that i just cant stop watching, they are great. How much of a legend would you be with your mates after this; This one just has eveyone in hysterics; p.s been reading some old threads (yes im bored) and what happened to the likes of lurcherbitch and fastdogz, always a bit of banter going on with them about

I like the hen bird and cat laws, i think we should adopt something similar in England

signed everybody who works dogs should really get clued up on the relavant laws and what rights you have. Ive e-mailed a few links to my mate so he knows the score if the b*****ds ever come knocking. best of luck pal

Find yourself a second hand Beretta AL390, bloody good guns. I got mine for 300 quid, few knocks as expected but still solid and reliable. Ive put 28gram clay cartridges through it as well as 52 gram fox cartridges (although i mainly use 36gram BBs), does the lot, the only trouble i had was a shitty batch of eley highflyers a while ago but that was the cartridges not the gun.
