  1. MT, was that from a duffus trap ? i always make a habit of wearing my leather gloves whilst setting mine. ive had a few go off & not felt a thing.. touch wood.. rich
  2. i think kay was replying to my comments... not yours. trader, you seem to get on the defensive quickly...
  3. i dont believe in keeping ferrets couped up in a small cage or hutch... obviously it depends on how much space you have, but even if my ferrets were kept in a small hutch, i would add a long tube or pipe that would run up & down the garden to give them a run. i keep my 5 ferrets in a 6ft x 8ft shed. i took out the glass windows & replaced them with mesh & made one of the doors into a barn door, and i put pipes & shelves to different levels. i also believe the larger the courts is & the more objects they have to play on & climb the fitter they get, better th
  4. An "open ticket" does not mean you (or he) can shoot just anywhere, the wording on the license will say something to the effect of " may shoot such and such callible at such and such quarry on any lande deemed suitable by the chief firearms officer in that force area...... ....Needless to say permission is also needed. ATB SA ...you are a little confused there, an OPEN FAC does give you the authority to shoot anywhere you consider appropriate, as long as you have permission! That is the whole point of an open fac, the chief officer of police does NOT have to deem the land su
  5. TOP BLOKE TO DEAL WITH.... 100% GENUINE !

  6. i asked my local dealer & he said the 3 shot version was £1100 heres a clip of an exibition shooter... 12 shots, 1.73 seconds !
  7. hi phil... any pictures ? my jill is in season & ive just put my hob in with her yesterday.. this will be the first time ive bred... hopefully all goes well, cant wait.
  8. ....................WRONG!! Apparently they taste like absloute crap!! :sick: Wouldnt knock ya from trying though! How about you catch a few... then try a few different recipies, and post the results Can't hurt i suppose, as long as it isnt toxic or anything *if it is please let me know, or you will have my blood on your hands* i'l give it a try whenever i get one and tell y'all Will ferrets eat them? i would really like to see some of your photos that you have taken whilst out, shooting, hunting, ferreting .......
  9. maybe none of your ferrets... maybe your doing something wrong ! Maybe spuds will give us the answer to that Rich yeah..... he sounds like a real expert, & he must know what hes talking about, hes been ferreting for years ! I am curious to find out why someone would ferret i assume using ferrets if they all bite & should be shot, seems rather contradictory to me he probably thinks it sounds impressive to say shoot the ferrets.... & there he was a while back asking if anyone has any ferrets available. they will be queuing up to hand them over no

  12. all the ferrets i have ever brought home have been roughly 5 months old & alll had a habit of been nippy or aggressive when i first brought them back.. one of my hobs "ted" that i got last september would jump forward & try to bite me " got me a few times " & had a habit of hiding under his sleeping quarters. this went on for a few weeks untill he settled in. just now hes starting to get better with the nipping, but before he would really try to bite, probably due to been scared with the new surroundings. also this week one of my jills has just come into season, dunkin
  13. just fucks me off when people make negative comments when it comes to people trying to sell items, be it on a forum or any other situation... £120 for a mk1 15ft set up aint over the top, especially if its in good condition... anyway lurcher-lad, good luck with the sale..
  14. why would you post that on someone elses thread ? if this seller wants to put it up here for £200 it would be his business ! & it would be up to a buyer if they wanted to pay the price.. an item will sell for whatever someone is willing to pay ! if your that concerned about him not getting that for it, you should pm him !
  15. Cheers Richie he did his usual trick of vomiting in the car on the way down and apart from him generally being a pain in the bottom to begin with he actually caught three two full grown and a tiddler without using any nets. from seeing how he was working last time & it was only his second time out, he was on the ball... you can see he will be a good worker..
  16. good to see TED getting on with it..
  17. £3.50 per mole ? is that what youre saying ? Yes! And thats on the cheep side. What you hmmming at??? Most of the trappers up here charge per mole. I charge less on the edge of the fell as there is always a stream of moles comming down off the fells, there a nightmare for the hill farmers, who are generally less well off than the low grounders, hence £3.50. the reason why i was hmmmmmmm about the £3.50 or £4.00 price is that you never said how many moles you caught at a time or in a week... now if youre catching 200 or so a week then thats a different story... i char

  19. all the surrounding land is covered in mole activity... im at the point now when i look forward to checking the traps. the land owner has told me that he use to get a firm in to gas them on a regular basis, but hes never seen a difference after theyve left, but hes pleased when i hand him the results.... i appreciate all your advice you have been giving me..
  20. thanks for the invite steve, had a great day.... all 3 of us chasing a ferret around like lunatics ! it was a good day, full of action. im knackered after all the running round. steve sorting the net out after 4 rabbits banged straight into it shortly after each other... ted giving it some magwitch`s pup got on really well today... proudly carrying his first kill ! our own personnal protection squad just incase any antis were lurking..
  21. sorry to hear that... i know the feeling. couple of monthe back i opened my hutch & found my jill dead. gutted !
  22. just got back from checking the traps.. i got 3 more in total, 2 in duffus`s & 1 in a scissor. in the 5 areas i had 4 to 5 set to give me a more better chance of getting a result... before this i was only setting 2 in each area. i set a mixture of duffus`s & scissors. in the 3 areas that i got a result from i found that the scissor traps were the ones that were back filled & i ended getting the target further along in the feeding area mainly in the duffus`s. in the last 4 days i have got 5 from this single garden with 3 caught within the same tunnel system within metres
  23. hi pat.... what are you using there ? are you using the merlin with someone recording with a ranger ?
