iv ferreted since a young boy either with friends or family but most on my own,in 20 yerars of ferreting iv only lost 1 ferret, iv locators/collars ect and if im honest i rearly use them ( i always take it) only in certain cicumstances will i defo use it, if a ferret kills below it comes out quick, as i try to get the feeding right before i take the ferret out, other than that ill collar the other ferret up and get a point to dig from that, before times when I didnt have a locator and a ferret made a kill and didnt come out by dark, i would block all the holes then return the next morning,
