    just hope it may help some one out

     

    by the way with IR Torch on full i get 200 yds + but unfortunately much too far, for normal air rifle range it is on very low

  2. So Hard !!

    in Rabbit Shooting

    Posted

    i have sent letters but not tried emails the letters got me 1 perm so i changed my tactics

    i built a web page its HERE

    This has brought me 3 perms in the last month and i have also taken up ferreting so when i talk to the farmer/land owner i can offer shooting and ferreting two just want the rabbits removed its up to me when i turn up and the other which had lots of livestock wanted ferrets only but he has got me 2 more people he knows with land where i can shoot i just need to visit them and do the formalities.

    so for me the winner is a website and having the chance to offer ferreting as a service also gets me shooting perms

  3. Jill Jab Time

    in Ferrets & Ferreting

    Posted

    i was to vet they said the jill jab costs £9 and the consulting fee would be £25 so we are talking £31 per jill and i have 2 then as soon as they come into season it would cost the same

     

    so i contacted a rescue center and got a hob that was vascomised for £40 hes done the job on both jill and he is a very nice ferret so will see how he works

     

    so there is another option to concider

  4. Ferret Bitting

    in Ferrets & Ferreting

    Posted · Edited by niatron

    as abarret said

     

     

    Mate put a bit of cod liver oil on the back of your hand so he can't get hold let him lick it keep doing this for a bit then on your fingers your hands will be his best mate in no time

    i did try this but my hob decided he wanted to stash my hand away so i got some ferretone and they just sit there licking till its gone and wanders off to do what he wants to do.

     

    ferretone is more expensive but i have trained my 3 ferrets to come to a clicker (when they are not to occupied with something else but on the odd occasion when i have been bit when i first got the ferrets i scuffed their necks and pinned them to the floor for a few seconds and now if i do it they sulk for a few seconds until something else catches their eye then the are off

    this works as now i can do anything with my ferrets and not bites they will hold my fingers in play but there is no pressure what so ever (even now with 2 jill and 1 hob in season)

     

    but thats my way i hope it may help some one

  8. Looking For Vasectomised Hob

    in Ferrets & Ferreting

    Posted

    i just re read my post it looks like i want another ferret ... i don't

     

    just wondering if anyone near has a vasectomised hob to do the business for my ferrets and take them out of season so i don't have young running about

     

    i can bring my jill to you or you can bring your hob to me i don't mind either way

  10. Ferrets Wont Work!

    in Ferrets & Ferreting

    Posted · Edited by niatron

    i am new to ferreting but all i have read is give them a chance and let their own curiosity do the work

     

    i have 2 jills they haven't been worked but i will go out there not expecting them to know what to do but i am sure when they get the hang of it they will be happy working (i hope)

     

    patience is the key on your part more than the ferrets

     

    don't stuff them down the hole or they may get a fear i have drain pipes in the garden and when i let them out the run straight in and play with each other as ferrets do (they was shy at first but as it was a game they got over that)

     

    just think how frightening it would be for you to be shoved down a dark hole not being able to see (just let them play)

  11. Looking For Vasectomised Hob

    in Ferrets & Ferreting

    Posted

    as title says i am looking for a vasectomised hob

     

    i live in telford (but willing to travel to nearby areas) with 2 young jills which should come into season this year

     

    i can breed them with a complete Hob but don't want to add to the ferret population unnecessarily but may want to breed them later on

     

    i know i can get them the jill jab but would rather have things done naturally first

     

     

  15. First 4X4

    Posted

    i have a 1.6l petrol grand vitara some of my perms i drive over and also across ploughed fields in the tractors tracks of course through muddy water (you know the usual off road stuff)

     

    ​i haven't got stuck bits of sliding but that's part of the fun

     

    the only down side is its a four seater but as someone said you can fold down the seats to get your kit in

  18. Need Someone To Show Me How Its Done

    in Ferrets & Ferreting

    Posted

    if possible i would like some to show me how ferreting is done

     

    i am not looking to come along with you on your perms but...

     

    here's the thing i don't have any ferrets i would like to try things before i get too involed and buy a ferret and not have it working if i dont like ferriting

     

    what i do have is a few perms where i shoot and if i square it with the land owner we could go there if someone could show me the ropes
