billy the kid 1984 1 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 bored at home so went out for a quick shine last night on my local golf course didnt see much,then in the distance along the hegde row i saw a set of eyes it was small so i thought it was a rabbit!! let my saluki grey go hoping he mght turn him away from the hegde!! it didnt seem to move as he got closer so i thought i was going to see a run! my dog striked and picked it up next my dog was yelping and moanin i could see it the distance he let go so i started to run over to see what happend.then my dog picked it up again and shook it hard as i got closer i saw it was a FERRET by the time i got my dog of it.it was dead!! my dog had a saw nose but that was it! has any one else come across a ferret while lamping!! it proberly had a lay up and its owner left it.

Bosun11 537 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 If you lamp long enough, i'm sure you will Billy. Coming across 'lost' ferrets out lamping ain't that uncommon, neither is killing 'em! Pity your dog wasn't broke to 'em before slipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whippeter69 88 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Wev come across a polecat once out lamping, so we tried top catch it we slipped the dogs hoping they would corner it but because they were broke to ferrets they didnt touch it, It ran down a rabbit hole and so we sat on the bank above the set waiting for the rabbits to bolt lol but nothing did Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KILLITnGRILLIT 0 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Never had them in the lamp as this is unusual behaviour as they are crepuscular animals, though I have had them in the fenn4`s ! As for feral cats eyes, I`ve seen them from white through to green and orange and a 50gn pill or a dose of N01`s does the trick Edited May 20, 2009 by KILLITnGRILLIT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
