new to ferreting

[fieldsportsman 107]

hi all , looking at getting a ferret in a few months as some of you already know. Im looking on ebay at some of the ferret finders[mk3 and 2] just wondred what the mk 2 was like. Also do you think I will need a ferret finder as Im not sure if most ferrets come out of the warrens on their own accord. I also heard that some people use string or they smoke them out with a bit of grass.

Ferret finders are an essential piece of kit and most will recommend that you have one, ferret finder will help if your ferret worries in

Stay away from the mk2 ferret finder go for eiter a mk1 or mk3 mate, do plenty of reading up before you get a ferret as todecide whether to go for hobs or jills and the general keeping of ferrets, theres a wealth of information on this forum alone which you can search for

ok thanks. Im looking at ferreting books on ebay and amazon. Also what would yo say to get hob or jill.

all depends on where your ferreting and what the the rabbits are like. jills will work faster and tend to bolt them, but a hob will push them out when they dont want to bolt. all depends on how you want to ferret. personally, i work jills but ive just bought a new hob. each to there own mate

You need a locator it saves time puts more into the bag etc ,dont touch the mk2 it eats batteries
