Next another 8 holer 2 more rabbits out of that one. The last one was a 4 holer spread over a decent area. The jill was down about 1/2 hour. Got a mark on her 3ft down was about to dig when the rabbit bolted.very happy with that. 5 rabbits in total. The weather was nice,the dog marked well and i am very pleased with the young jill.She has had 8 now in 2 short trips. SORRY POSTED TWICE.

What is your thoughts on electric training collars?
darbo replied to oldred58's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
never had the need for one and never would . put a lot of effort in training and stock breaking pups. -
terry the ferrets will only come in season from spring onwards. no need to do anything till then. just spend time handling them and introducing them to the dog etc.
-
ive always had a hob along with the jills the ones ive had and have been medium sized. had some good hobs over the years.got a last years one now and hes doing well so far.
-
good luck with your new venture terry. hope you have many happy days in the field. good to hear of your old intrest being rekindled. atb just a little observation get wood shavings and not saw dust.

i hunted with lurchers for 20 odd years lamping bushing with a terrier/lurcher comb my main passion was hare coursing. ferreted on/off for 12 years. then been doing it 13 years every season. enjoying ferreting more each season maybe a age thing with me now. last lurcher died 2 years ago have not lamped for about 4 years now. i can only use a terrier for ferreting on my permissions i have now. but i would be lost without the little marking dog, nowhere near as versatile as a ferreting lurcher. but i get out as much as i can and enjoy the ferreting no matter the size of the bag. its always a goo

also use these for holding nets/rings etc in certain situations. they can be cut to length,used time and time again strong and flexible.
-
instead of drawing pins.i use tacks/small nails with no head on them.net comes off them easy and they dont pull out. can be kept in for future outings.atb.

as I,ve said I prefer ring in the hole (that doesn,t sound right ) but sometimes its not possible sometimes a wee twig comes in handy to hold the ring sure you and others have a few more tricks up your sleeve.
