Unless someone simply cannot afford a locator, I can't imagine anyone choosing to use a liner any more. Why dig here there and everywhere as you follow the twists and turns of a line, when a locator allows you to dig straight down?

Was in Scotland last week when my jill stayed down i ended up digging six holes before i found her and wasted nearly an hour, bit embarrassing when i had two guys waiting with their goshawks who i was bolting rabbits for!! it was only a little warren an all, so thought it would be ok without collar, it was a lesson learnt collar every time from now on.
