handy for hearing if they've popped up out of sight, but no use underground to be honest.....and they usually get clogged up anyway.

I have never used bells myself, however at the midlands game fair this year I was talking to The Warrener as he was there promoting his latest DVD. When asked to for some tips on ferreting he said this is the best one he could give anyone. "use a little cat bell on an elastic band so that if it gets snagged up the ferret will not get stuck, the band will either pull off or snap. Rabbits hear the bell aswell as winding the ferret and it puts them on edge. you get quicker bolts and less layups".

You can only bolt what's in a warren do your field craft right , and good ferrets they will bolt , I mean if you were a rabbit and there's a ferret bred for the job scratching and biting you your guna bolt to safety unless you know theres something else waiting for you above ground ,
