  1. i use nuts, hit something on head with them and its not getting up
  2. And how exactly will you know if she is stuck behind a rabbit , or where that rabbit is,if you have no locator? If you had one you could dig to her, and fetch her out could you not ?How about if she is trapped in a shaft and can't climb out ? Even the ferrets most receptive to squeeks wont be coming out then will they? And, you won't have a clue where it is will you? But perhaps, you employ a type of ferret telepathy? Simples? I quite agree. Why would you prefer to take a day off work to retrieve a ferret next day ,you could have taken home that day,IF you had a locator with you
  3. yes, because squaking is really going to get your ferret out if its stuck down a hole inside the warren, which is 10ft down.
  4. Don't take it personal, its a forum, and everybody has their own view. When I was a kid it was a collar and string, but I never needed that really, and my ferrets now are no problem, but I always collar them because I can. I have to dig now, but years ago I would have sat around a lot more. Each to their own mate. I've just got my locator fixed to find out the collar is fcuked and need To fork out for a new one...... I think locators are great, exactly what your saying is right about rabbit numbers, less waiting and quicker to move on but people that cant afford a locator or cant
  5. i think people forget this is an INTERNET FORUM, its not set in stone
  6. yes, when youve been put in that situation, you will very quickly learn, unless of course your ferret means nothing.....this is a quote i often here"why spend 100 plus on locator, when i can get a new ferret for a tenner"
  7. look mate, your drifting of the subject about bag numbers, the point im making purely for the ferrets sake is to get a locator, why else do you think so many ferrets are found dead on roads, because if the ferret doesnt show, then people leave them. take for example a sandy earth, rabbits will keep digging down, if a ferret drops down a shaft, theres no way it can get up is there.
  8. good day wasnt it, cheers inan and magwitch
  9. hold on mate, its your ferrets, so its obviously up to you. as for more bags, what happens if ferrets kills under ground, not only do you get ferret but another rabbit to bag. all im saying is, there will be times when you will need it. and no offence, but 15 times is nothing, you could go out 100 times and only need to dig once, but thats when its handy to have
  10. was out today, with magwitch and inan. Stuck 2 jills down a sandy earth, had a couple of bolts for the dogs, but not right fields for doing it. Anyway, althought both jills had collars. one failed as i forgot to change the f*****g batterys. It turned out that we couldnt get hold of the ferrets as it had found a nest. However, thanks to inan and magwitch, i got her back. but people that think its ok to not use one, im telling you, you will wish you had one.
  11. hunting wise, i got a harkila game bag worth 90 quid ha, nick stevens tory by darcy, advise from a gamkeeper and lord home.
  12. its about 9cm(lenght) from tip to tip of horse shoe.just under 8cm in hight. hope that helps
  13. in my oppinion, far better for ferrets sake to use an air rifle, and sit up at night
