tried my new ferret finder out today and the receiver needs to be within 8 foot to pick up the collar and within 4 foot in locate mode ,claims to be double that and this was all in the garden on top of the soil not under the ground ,so put in new batterys in both and still the same ,,is this the norm ,,no way is it giving me 16 foot ,,

got to be 177 if it is distance you are after,,got an ultra 22 and would not take a shot at 40 yards to erratic,good groupings 30-35 yards after that can go anywere ,maybe the ultras smaller barrel,,

i,ve got one a 22 ,i get about 25 good shots then it can get erratic,,one thing after i charge it up to 200 psi the 1st few shots are wildy unaccurate so i tend to fire it a few times straight after a charge ,,i bought the ultra solely for poaching as i can get it inside my barbour without no-one noticing but my friends hornet is more nicer to hold and shoot basically a better gun in my view but the ultra suits me and is deadly up to 30-35 yards ,not the quietist gun i,ve had though,,any thing i have shot with it has done a back flip and not flinched a muscle after it ,,shot a pest that was ea

how do you know if your dog has what it takes
blackdug replied to a topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
the fact she,s biting the rabbit in the photo is a bonus seen dogs not even want to touch them even dead ,,give her time ,,real time and don,t rush her and in the mean time get her in with older dogs that no the score that,s the most important thing ,you will soon laugh and realise she is still young ,,all the best -
if i can,t get a shot of at a rabbits head i don,t shoot,,simple and always take my shots no further than 35 yards ,,came to that conclusion years ago,,nothing worse than hitting a rabbit in the body and hearing that thump and see it crawl of ,,guilty of it when i was a kid and it still makes me cringe ,,get closer and aim for the noggin,,

i have had to liberate a few ferrets over the years from total tosspots,up to there knees in crap and dog food..sadlly these people will always be about ,,my local ferret rescue has close to 50 unwanted ferrets,,sad the lady who runs it is really reluctant to rehouse any to hunting homes as she says we just keep them caged up and in general mistreat them,,would have liked to disagree with her but this lady has seen it all ,,and on my last visit she had forked out 150 quid of her own money on a old hob that had been chewed up by a fox ,,it just the case of to many people out there who do not kn

ferretlove one question if you cannot afford to be robbed by the local salesman sorry i mean vet does that rule you out of owning a ferret .that lad would have been £40 minimum in the vet..were i come from in glasgow i can show you scores of familys that don,t have that sort of money spare ..i have been ferreting 30 years and when i was young the last place a sick ferret was going was the vet ..sadly i came from one of these shit poor familys and going ferreting was my one great escape from it all ...sorry for the socialist salvo but it is a sad truth and being skint does not rule you out in

VETS ARE CRAP WITH FERRETS,MAYBE HE DOESN,T HAVE THE £30 CONSULTATION FEE PLUS WHATEVER ELSE THEY LUMP ON FOR MEDICINE ..THERE IS MORE EXPERIENCE ON THIS SITE ABOUT FERRETS THAN ANY VET WOULD EVER KNOW ,,KEEP GIVING HER WATER KEEP THE FLUIDS UP ,AS FOR MILK I WAS ALWAYS TOLD NOT TO GIVE THEM IT IF THEY HAVE BACTERIA PROBLEMS AS DAIRY PRODUCTS HELP THE BACTERIA BREED ..BUT THE CHICKEN SOUP BIT I LIKE ...ALL THE BEST ..
