    If you cant get in to net em you wont beable to get in with the locator. I would prune the bushes back. b ut only enough to allow me to net up Certainly wouldnt do a ground zero on it

    We had a day like this on sunday They just would not bolt- even with the heavy artillary. Deep or right inthe middle of the hedge was were they were lying up. Proper hardcore ferreting. Ended the session with just three.

    They could come out the otherside of the fence I personally wouldnt go with longnets The rabbitts will hole hop and make loads of exta work for your ferrets. One in the net is caught there and then

    Your going to need a few good ferrets Also you are going to need a ruck of purse nets At least one person who is a seasoned ferreter - the more expeirience the better A steadydog that knows the score would certainley save time and leg work Did a good mile of railway batter for the council few years ago Luckily they were shallow sets . There was three of us on this job Took us about a fornight to go up one side and down the other One man would clear vegitation from around the holes Then me and another lad would net up until all the nets were used up Enter

    Happens in all walks of life. More so than ever these days. Parasites feeding off decent folk

    Wash the russells bed and let the lurcher have it for keeps. Dont wash the pups bed and let the russell have that one. Only a shot in the dark but it might buy you some time until the pups natural scent is has built up through out the house

    Brothers got a laguna whippet pup He seems to be frightened of letting it off. Trouble is the less it has its freedoms now the worse it will go on recall. Better taking them places where there are no other distractions. Take him out as much as you can. Even when you are in the garden let him have is head then every now and again call him in and give him a fuss. Should help on the bonding up as well. At the moment i have been taking the whippet out with my two. There recall is good so he just follows them and comes in. Trouble is the pup as started to bond

    Sometimes its not the actual jump that un does the dog Working a dog at night that jumps when in full flight on rabbit is not for the faint hearted. Ground that falls away sharpley on landing can sometimes bring a run to an unexpected end. hoof divits can also play there part in bringing down a born jumper. My dogs jump when i need to climb over a gate or fence. But that full on harum scarum stuff. Well thats somthing else.

    Take the meat off the bone cut it into cubes and shallow fry it with home cured bacon fat Add a dessert spoonful of plum jam. Dont over cook it Eat it straight from the pan You wont be dissappointed I was never keen on it until a freind cooked it this way

    A good ferret wont enter a set that has no scent A bad ferret wont come out of a set that has no scent. The rest come some where in between

    My bitch used to bugger off and hunt on her own every time another dog came with us She was brilliant when working alone. A very dominant and independant nature. She just wanted everything for herself and to please me. When she couldnt acheive this through other dogs working around her she would start to do her own thing somewhere else

    Had a pair of what i would describe as mongerel lurchers Dont know the exact breeding of them althouh i do know there was deerhound and a fair bit of lab and maybe a touch of bull inthem Very game animals.They would enter any cover and work all day. Even getting down on there bellies and dragging themselves through tight low bramble. I would be looking for a small type lurcher with plenty of bushing types in him A complete one off to suit your purpose

    Strange one Snatching the ferret up can bring it on Also lack of rabbits in the burys can sometimes make them play up Just a couple of things i have come across before Hope it helps
