    in Ferrets & Ferreting

    Posted

    EVENING ALL, i have lots of ferreting to be done and need a bit of help, the lad that normal comes out with me is unfortunately unwell at present so if you fancy some ferreting feel free to in touch , your own ferrets and some gear would be a bonus , i have plenty of gear if not and 3 younger jills that are coming on quite well . dogs are welcome as long as ferret broken . tom

  8. Advie On Keeping And Working Ferrets

    in Ferrets & Ferreting

    Posted

    I've only been ferreting a year and a bit mate. I'm all self taught and I've found a hobby for life. I've found that my hob is my best worker and by far the most affectionate, but the Jill's are still good at what they do.

    Nets, ferret box and a locator is all u need (and a spade).

    Just get out there mate. I was shockingly bad at first but practice makes perfect.

    Good luck and keep us updated on how ur getting on.

    thanks for the advice bud , will be getting kitted out asap!!!cheers

    your a farmer and you must have land to work ferrets/dogs on. there will be plenty of experienced chaps that will leap at the chance to take you out and show you the ropes. its the best of learning, as books/dvd's/forums do tend to tell you ideals and not their mistakes. and as we all know, we learn from our mistakes.

    thanks that a good idea

    evening all , went out around 11 friday night , saw nothing in the 60 acre block i shoot on the farm i look after ,walking back to the house and theres charlie and his mrs sat on the silage pit next to my house think its more about the luck of the draw this time of year plus the lady down the lane feeds foxes from her back door (madness) so there fairly tame . as for the time of day i can usually squeak a charlie or two anywhen between dusk and dawn although they are plentyfull round here .

     

    Must be quite a sight watching her feed foxes from her "back door"!! Must take some practice to! :laugh:

     

    I just spat drink all over myself laughing to that , cheers mate lol

    just realised what i wrote lol , true though lads

    A few mk4 set 24/7 should make a inroad mate the mk6's are meant for a bit bigger vermin

    calling all rat trappers im in need of some advise on the best rat trap to use around my chicken coop .

    at the moment i am opperating a couple of tunnel traps with fenn mk6 inside and a couple of norfolk trapper cages, i seem to be having limited success some 3 a night sometimes none at all , the rats make there way to and fro between my cattle sheds and chickens and have well established runs , i did spend a couple hours out with the 410hushpower about a week ago and had 18 but this hasnt made a difference , i have a rat attack smoker and a patterdale plus my mates terriers to and smoked them around november agin this seemed to make little difference, any help would be greatly apriciated thanks in advance for any advice. tom

  25. looking for a new precharged multi-shot air rifle

    I also have a Rapid - superb. They are bomb proof and those in the know are snapping them up. I have a friend who has bought 5 since Theoben closed their doors (on top of the 3 he already had). Price of Rapids is going up....mine is not for sale. That is also in .20 Easy to work on, rugged, reliable and very strong. Accuracy is excellent, every bit as good as any modern rifle. The Rapid can hold its own in any company.

     

    thanks for the info , can you give me a rough idea how much one would cost and also how heavy they are?
