I would make sure your sat in her bed when you throw the sock/dummy. Also only use the sock/dummy when you do some training don't give the dog access to it all the time, make it special. Good luck Sirius

Mk1 might be OK for the lads with shallower places to ferret but doing hedges and deep warrens the range of the MK3 is very useful even if just to resure you that the ferret's where abouts. Deben will never remake a MK1 box, its simply not good business to do so if you think about it commercially, and IMO if the MK3m collars were better and more reliable it makes a far more useful piece of kit than the old grey knocker box Mk1.

Good news :yes:

That's exactly what happened to myself and hedgesteeper, I headed off charlie before he hit a longnet and he turned brush and when back to ground, we had had best part of a dozen rabbits out of a big old place we were working, so we gave him best and lifted the stinkers and moved on
-
Yes I have bolted one.

Mk3m is the best I have used and I have owned mk1 mk2 mk3 and now the mk3m. The collars have issues but the finder all in all is good and the extra range is very handy.

Good job Brimmer! A nice read looks a fair old effort too.
-
I agree, each to there own and all that but that's not what ferreting is about to me. As for all the digging, no wonder with all that noise from the world and his wife, I doubt the smell of breakfast, lunch and dinner cooking helped either lol pretty un professional all round just my honest opinion.
-
Yes both of them.

I have a fibre shafted spade, came from the water board, its small but not too small if you get me, done me years of service.

Bob, I would but then again I am tight like that I agree, and there is a huge difference in a commercial net to one made by a craftsman

I like it, and spent a bit of time getting my dog to run on command and walk to heel in the dark. But, it's easier if the dog was broke to other quarry. Certain things in the beam and he won't stay steady enough. I only work off slip now in certain areas so to stop any stress. But I like a dog to run on command and not bolt the beam on any moving object. Maybe my next dog I will get better and break him to all but rabbit! Maybe..

The lad asked, and I told him of my experiences, Im not making it up. You could over look a dodgy knot or two, but to advertise something and go and send something else totally different is not acceptible, they had my details, could they not have contacted me first? Like I say I felt I was stung twice, there wont be a third time. Easy now Bob, I don't doubt your telling the truth! I just think that feedback is important, if I ordered end pins, nets or a copy of goat-fiddlers monthly for that matter , if it arrived and was not as described I would contact them and arrange to have the

I have a couple, but the small foot long(currently need rewelding) is fine for using to find a tube in a dig, and sits in the net bag without taking up too much space. Good for pegging a rabbit outside a hole if a ferret still to ground and you have to move on.

Everyone has a preference for nets, I get most of mine handmade by a mate these days and they really suit my needs. However I have bought many nets and supplies from Bridport Nets over the years and I have never had a problem. But if I did have a query or a problem I would pick up the phone or pop round and have a chat to Pat, and I am sure he would sort something out, he's good like that :yes: As a business owner myself, I always value feedback from my customers and I am sure he will as well http://www.bridportnets.co.uk/ or call 01308 420927

peas and carrots i get them in the bottom of mine even though i never put any in it I dont think it was vege based paulaus, as my mate foundout when we lifted the fecking thing up and it poured out

Cheers for the freezer, and the free contents lol

That's a good deal Ginger.

Good read Brimmer I enjoyed that, shame the dogs don't get to see more work! But a lot of ferreting is like that unless you dont bother with the nets isn't it! Good hunting Sirius
-
Good stuff, never easy on drilled fields either they can shift! Good hunting Sirius
-
Nice little session for the dogs itching to get out myself!
-
Cant say it would be my first choice for a rabbit dog, most seem very hard mouthed and too driven in the wrong kind of way for a rabbiting dog.
-
Seriously I don't have a clue what I am doing most the time, but I enjoy it :laugh: Cheers the dogs did well but the ferrets really worked the hardest for those rabbits Yes I will try be trying it out alot more this season, but I have booked another, I was impressed how well they work. Cant see them being that good on big thick hedges but ideal for open hillside places. Weird beasts aren't they, they were pretty inquisitive and its all experience for the young dog. Didn't hear them make any noises, but then again I am glad they didnt come on the warrens what with a

thanks mate, yeh with Buck the 1 x gsd x grey pup , as said on the (52) post , i take him out couple hours evey day with Bryn. So just learning him his feild craft in the night , i think that if you( dont) take'em till say (6 month old)(lamping) ,because then they are (bigger+ stronger+ faster) they can hurt there selves alot more than at Bucks age now (3 month). He will know all about fences+gates + ditches ( now) and when he does get to 6 months+ above it should hold him in good stead. i might be wrong? time will tell Like I say good luck with that, I am the opposite, and like t
