I only have to mention the Borzoi and comments and insults come flying. Laughing, jeering. And that's before saying I'm female and work for rescue.

Don't get any of that with Jim.

 

 

dont let a few foolish folk put you off, you DONT have to pay to be accepted

 

lol. Didn't want to be accepted!

I wanted to get out with my dog.

It's OK saying that permission can be found - but what do you do once you get there?

I came away with good advice, everything from setting nets, best to place my dog, gutting and skinning. And bunnies for the pot.

There's no competition about my dog being better than yours or it's a blimmin jacker.

His knowledge regards dogs is second to non - we have also called on him for behavioural advice - and he's a nice bloke on top.

I went as a complete novice with no agro. Different type dogs in one day. We all got one to one time and had a great day.

 

i aint gonna argue with you missy lol, but you obviously wanted to be accepted, you wanted to be accepted on a days ferreting without being jeered or sniggered at..

all im saying is there are folk out there that are more than willing to do the same as this fella has done for you, free of charge... i know for a fact there is some very good offers in the available section, none a them ask for money an with folks like woodga in there, i doubt he would jeer at you or your dogs.. if you got your own permission an just unsure how to attack it so to speak, even better offer somebody a couple a days out or even a swap, your land then theres, more than 1 way to learn fieldsports

 

Didn't realise we were arguing. lol.

I have found them now thanks It takes a while sifting through and finding people you feel you can trust.

Those that have it all in place already would have a great 'busmens' holiday out with Jim.

But for others just starting and want a little more, Jims fab at that too. I think there a place for his services at this time and if others can offer the same, then go for it. There are people looking for it and willing to pay.

a big hole in your bank balance

I know they did days out for people wanting to learn about ferreting etc, but I would imagine that this is aimed more at the 'pet' type owner who wants to take a comfortable break in Scotland and do a bit of ferreting at the same time. Jim's a genuine bloke, a bloody good dog behaviourist and a top lurcherman IMO: I hope he gets plenty of custom at a time when there's not a lot of dosh about. Having said that, there's still plenty of people with money...............just not on THL LOL

 

Do pet type owners want to spend almost 400 sheets on a weekend break to kill bunnies? Second thoughts i like the idea, any people out there want a ratting break with a terrier, you can kip in my spare room, have a pot noodle, toast for breakfast and i'll even treat you to a pizza at night...£300 per day

 

Only messing, as i say best of luck to him, although i maintain its expensive

 

Yes we do!

It may seem steep, but his help and info is spot on. The only thing you need to bring is your dog. He covers everything from food to insurance.

Have been on one of his days (not the Scotland weekend) - was struggling to find someone to go out with - it isn't just a day in a field. It is advice, instruction and fun.

He is there for you and your dogs, not his bunny count. And his help and advice continues after the weekend. No cocky comments for asking questions like you can get on here. He's a sound bloke.

If any of you lads are willing to offer the same cheaper, I'm interested.

 

But surely your someone getting into the sport, rather than George and Mildred down the road with pet Vizla Tibbles who one day wake up and think rather than an all inclusive in Madrid, lets go kill some bunnies? For £375 i would hope i didn't have to bring food and insurance, and of course you wont get cocky comments, hes getting £375 off you I have taken a few lads out, im no expert, not at all, just been happy to take a few youngsters out and show them a nights lamping. And as we already said Raiye, me and thee will get out this season, and if i can help in anyway thats great, i enjoy watching otehrs enjoy their sport

[poacher3161 1,766]

I remember [bANNED TEXT] i was first asked to ferret for ordinary working class lads and lasses with hawks and some one mentioned they would pay me i said like feck you will i was more than happy with the lions share of rabbits it prbably exsplains why i havent a pot to piss as i couldent take money of anybody showing them how to ferret or lamp.lol

[iceman001979 1,316]

Why pay all that money????That money could get you everything you need if you wanted to start ferreting.Do what everyone else does learn by your mistakes

Looking forward to it Simo

When I 'did' a days ferreting with Jim, I had never done anything at all. I had worked previously with him as a trainer and liked him.

He's good with his dogs, good with mine and no bullsh!t.

 

"The cost per person £375 or Couple £700 This includes two nights with dinner, B&B and packed lunch or as you are right in the middle of the field, soup etc at the house a very good tea with lots of cakes. The rooms are all en-suite - they 4 star with the tourist board - and very comfy. There is what was the garden at the back with a deer fence for any dogs who you aren't too sure how far they will run. There is lots of space for the dogs to work and also varied conditions from open fields to a quarry which is hotching with rabbit holes."

 

Added with his training and behaviour, as well as working knowledge, I think it a good deal.

When i was 16 back in 1990 Plummer invited me and my old man up to Caithness for a weeks ferreting, didn't cost us a penny. Although i was young and impressionable and beleived all i was told until i got older and grew up , even so it was a nice gesture.......As has been mentioned sometimes the best experience is learning by your mistakes

I agree with you there .

Although I don't really agree with anyone charging for being taken out, good luck to the man if he can get takers. But I must admit when I read the first post, I thought JJ has got to stand for just jesting! And it was simply a wind up.

Please dont encourage him The best whopper i fell for was when he told me the dogs did a certain mark to indicate how many rabbits where in the warren , i almost went home and shot my own dog

[skycat 6,172]

I can just remember, many moons ago, when I first went out with someone I knew to learn about ferreting etc. A year of so later I fell in with some people who actually knew what they were doing: they didn't need to kick their dogs to make them stay, nor did they practically strangle their ferrets when they picked them up for fear of them biting. These folks didn't scream at me either if I made a mistake! That first person, I soon realised, was an idiot who knew sod all, but was trying to pass on his (lack of) knowledge to an impressionable me. That idiot also almost shot my dog which was closing on a rabbit: say no more!

 

Yes, there are a lot of knowledgeable people out there who give willingly and freely of their time and experience, but there's also an awful lot of idiots who pass on misinformation, bad habits and downright ignorance. If I didn't know anyone and I wanted to learn about ferreting I'd sooner pay someone like Jim, whose reputation as a dog man is well known and respected, than chance it with someone I didn't know at all, even if it was for free. Times change, and with the way things are nowadays, the law etc, surely its better (if you can afford it) to spend a weekend learning how to do things properly from someone with a good reputation. Not everyone knows about THL, and not everyone would be willing to chance a weekend with someone they didn't know.

 

I've been invited out to various places over the years, and soon found out that certain people are happy to invite others out on their 'permission', not having any permission at all! I guess it all depends on which side of the fence you sit, what you want and what you are prepared to do to get it.

Hes lucky if thats all he did a few old mates who he taught said he would get them in an head lock till they nearly passed out for misbehaveing in his class not by the head lock though they said by the smell of his personal hygine lol.
