Corky I wish you the very best of luck with your hunting, but I hope your next post isnt to tell us you lost your ferret, when I first started ferreting far to long ago to want to remember, I never used a bleeper, didnt have the money for one and no one to tell me better.Spent a lot of time sitting waiting for my ferret to come out and banging a spade on the ground trying to get my ferret out, why? because some one told me that was the way to get your ferret to come out, no it dosnt work, hope you can put together the money or wait a little longer till you can get hold of a ferret finder, like
