look up 406 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Thought I'd try my young hob out today ..one I kept back from my litter..he's only 5 1/2 month old .. But a big boy .. Found a nice set what hold a couple .. I put him down gave it 10mins he hadn't shown . So I grabbed the locator found him 3ft dug down rabbit dead .. Found him again 3 1/2 ft dug to him again 1 dead and he was putting manners on another lol .. And bolted 1 so he done very well for a first time and on his own.. Atb 2 Quote Link to post

squab 2,875 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 your probably right.perhaps a smaller jill would be better though instead of a big boy eh Quote Link to post

look up 406 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 your probably right.perhaps a smaller jill would be better though instead of a big boy ehThe thing I like about a good hob is when your working big sandy tubs they don't seem to get the run about so much as the Jill's ... I did only work Jill's at one point ... Until they got the run around for a good wile in a sandy set .. You could feel the rumble under your feet rabbits running around like f--k ... But not one bolted.. ferrets just couldn't get hold of them ... And these two Jill were good working ferrets .. That just put me off a bit ...you should still get afew digs to a working Jill couse they can kill quick once they no how ... Atb 3 Quote Link to post

Ive used jills and they do well enough but better results with buck.Quicker to dig down to dead rabbits than try and net up dirty ditches and like you said the jills can get some run around in the burrows at times. 1 Quote Link to post

But in my eyes it anit working intill you have dug to it a few times at stop ends and dead rabbits ..not every rabbit will bolt ...that's when you can start to trust a ferret..atb 3 Quote Link to post
squab 2,875 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Remember some footage a lad put up with his underground cameras I was suprised by the lack of interest the small gill although maybe young had when face to face with a rabbit Quote Link to post
