Nothing but the best for the ferrets mate.
-
Got fed up with different flat bands letting me down so moved over to tubes.
-
Aye... its been a long time.

A lot of rabbit about this year, I keep taking the odd one or two to feed the ferrets.

I was same oxo , I just kept shortening tubes . The nearer to max you can get em the more powerful and accurate they are. -

Cheers Fred, she's not bad. A tad hard with what she gets hold of but it's fetched back. -

I'm doing quite well with the sps and single tubes. -
Got 3 gifted, lost my ferrets through some sort of virus last year. Yeah she's doing fine, couldn't wish for a better little catty companion really.

Can't beat nettrigger for good advice

Not sure Fred, possibly 18/19"

Can't say I've had a problem with this bitch catching fleas but in summer mites are a problem from the greys. She gets a wash n towel dry before she comes in house

Years ago I used to keep Spanish game and a hen pheasant used to come to the yard and feed , she was mated by any stag that was out on his tether. She then disappeared. Later that summer the dog put up some poults in a local wood that just looked different if you know what I mean, I often wonder if they were Spanish x pheasant.

Pretty hard to get hold of so I'm led to believe..you done well getting one.
-
She a belter mate, is she pedigree?, funny this one of mine ain't bothered about deer thank feck. I Don't use her for anything else but squirrel. She's run a couple of rabbit and caught one , never seen a hare or fox. I'm too old for all that type of hunting now. I enjoy a quiet stroll int woods chasing the grey menace.
-
She's far from perfect mate but I've learned to live with her. Her nose is second to none and she retrieves every thing I shoot with the catty. Everything has to be killed again before she retrieves it and she's part crocodile so it tends to be in a state. Things should change as she matures but I'm not to bothered tbh. What's your whippet like ?.
-
I agree mate theres a much better way to carry and run out a long net, as for the whippet I couldn't ask for better mate. She loves the squirrel
-
Enjoyed watching that Fred, as Jack said the old lad does it differently. Will his way of netting work..yes without a doubt but its a lot of faffing around to be super efficient. I really used to enjoy our nights netting up int dales with old smithie but life sent me a curved ball and I needed a long time out of everything to recuperate.

Anyone have one for sale ?

I've just knocked up a couple of hundred 9mm lead using a lead melting pot and a Lee mould. Top tip is to keep fluxing the lead with bees wax to get rid of the crap and keep the spout clean .

Yes mate shot a lot of stuff with looped tubes but I can't get on with single.
