    depends what type of land and quarry you are intending to work, a beddy/greyhound us always a decent all round type if off decent gear.

    aye i will be pleased to see it sorted to your standard Jimmy. I was given it a few years back, it was seazed up, i got new spring and other bits and got it working, not to your standard though. I havent been using it so i thought if you would have liked to have a go at it then gift it to a new starter that would be great for me, i am not the type of fella to sell on something i was given, i believe in being right by folk and am totaly happy for it to land in the hands of a newbie to the game. thank you Jimmy for taking it on and i look forward to seeing the results.

    It is hard work buying or selling a air rifle now since all the sites stopped selling.

    I just do farms and the odd garden, when I retire I will advertise and maybe pick up a few garden and hotel type jobs, be a lot easier than carrying stuff around fields, I am on foot, I need to get sorted with a jimny or quad or possibly both, I would have a Land Rover but most will have been hammered with the price bracket I’m in, saying that Jimny are great but very overpriced

    as soon as possible i let the pup watch me handling the ferret, once you have confidence it isnt going to lunge at it, put the pup on a lead and set the ferret on the ground, let the pup watch it moving around. I like to have a kit available as well to introduce the pup to along with a older ferret, it gets the kit used to the dog at the same time. obviously when learning the dog with a older ferret you want a ferret that is is dog proof, not one that is likely to nip the dog as that will only knock things right back. Just my own personal thing but i like to get a pup out solo with the ferrets

    I think when you get older you start to appreciate your hunting fishing etc more and personally I don’t clash myself as I used to years back, I like to make all my own gear for all sorts of hobbies as I have always done, numbers arnt the big thing for me now, firstly the rabbits and fish are not here in the numbers no more, I take everything at a much slower pace nowadays, I had a heart attack 8 yrs ago yesterday and also get angina, I like to do my hobbies myself mainly, I can go when I want and come home when I want, nothing like being out with a ferret and my collie netting a few rabbits or

    I started a mole trapping business off self employed last summer after a few years learning the job, I also work full time as a sheetmetal worker/ welder for the same company for 42yrs. I am going to do more mole jobs when I take early retirement in 2 years, I have picked up a fair few farms for the moles and am kept busy at nights and weekends, I don’t advertise at present just getting jobs word of mouth. Be a nice little top up for my pension and I will be under no pressure at all to make money, no way would I try and do moles full time as a job, to many things can hinder you like weather an

    Thank you but to be fair I think this little bitch is a natural, took to ferreting like a duck to water.
  18. lifelong cumbrian
    Aye at some point I may put a whippet on her or a 3/4 whippet 1/4 collie I know of, the greyhound would make them more versatile but I prefer whippet sized dogs for ferreting

    Well my time and effort paid off tonight, was walking over a barley field and a hare jumped out from under a bold hollow tree stump half a yard in front of the dog, I shouted leave it and she stopped and sat down and watched it run away, right down the field under a gate and over the road, could easily have had a dead dog.

    They are expensive but I do a lot of mole trapping and up on the fell the gates are very narrow, I want a light 4wd that won’t rip the fields up, well big enough for me. They will go anywhere anything else will. I also do a lot of fishing and ferreting, will be a godsend for me, I have a Octavia scout car, brilliant motor , been using it for trapping when it has been dry, I won’t part with my car but will get the Jimny and put some good tyres on. You are only here once, I have the coin for it, I work bloody hard, 46 hours a week at work and trapping 3 or 4 hours everyday and weekends, I am tre

    Yes they did mate, was to do with emissions, they are taking back seats out and selling it as a commercial as commercial is a different emissions group. Better for me like a van, a 4wd van that will go almost anywhere, right up my street.
