hi mate , i have a deben mk3 ferret finder , so if they lie up i use the ferret finder and then i always have a folding shovel in the bag . i reed regular the topics here , and i have the impression that it hapens a lot more with you folks in england that the ferret lie up , i go ferreting two times a week and it happens maybe once or twice in a whole year that a ferret lie up .but i think that the warrens with you are a lot bigger , if we have a big warren it are about 40 holes . but that would be a verry big one ! most of the warrens here are between 10 and 25 holes . and the numbers of bu

hey everybody , i live in belgium and have a question about the wire you all use to snare the bunnies , i have reed some of the topics here and most of you use brass wire , do you use the same snare twice ore even more ? we here in belgium make them from a verry thin wire , normaly used for binding flowers (roses) we make them six strand thogether , sometimes i can use a snare again but this is not often , mostly they are all thurned up and twisted . no good to use again . do you have the same with the brass one ore are they good to use over and over again ? gr

they are deep warrens , but how big are they ? you could try to put more ferrets down if they are big , then you put more pressure on the warren (on the bunnies) this helps around here anyway

hey , i did the same thing with the screw driver and let the misses hold it , but when you have a spool without edge the twine like to flip from the edge and gets stuck on the screw driver . this problem is resolved with the divise in the pic above because the twine gets puld away from the edge to the center hole .

hey leeview , yes this helped .

hi , i had the same problem , made holes in my pegs and always find it hard to get the draw cord trough , now i take a pice of wire , verry thin wire , this i fold double en put the cord between , this helps a lot to get it trough , the wire is verry easy to get trough and the cord just follows . you wil heve to make the hole in the peg a littele larger of course . this method i use with the hemp if i use nylon i just melt the ends with a lighter and right after i melt it i make it pointed with my fingers , this helps a lot getting the cord trough , when using two cord to put trough

hi everybody , for those ho make there onw nets , here is a little divise i have made that makes it easier to wind of the twine for filling the needle . especially if the twine is on a spool without any edge on the spool . with this divise the twine kan not flip of the edge of the spool because the twine is always pull to the middle when winding of . you can just put it on the table or on the floor en start filling youre needle without any problems ! it works like a charm ! hope some of you find it usefull .
