Dark ages , what's wrong with paying for a ferret ,? If it's a good one . Next you will be saying you've never payed for a locator or longnet and that you drive to your ferreting grounds in a free car with free petrol and you never pay for a drink down the pub or a weeks shoping , not having a dig at you personally but without the ferret there wouldn't be much ferreting going on , Theres to many ferrets on the scrap heap in rescues and will be building as the summer goes on there's lads on here with three or four jills in kit purely for there own stock of course ,
