im thinking

[jigsaw 11,809]

of getting a hob again ,,ive missed the bunny bashing a lot..loved my days out with the kelpie x and the nets and ferret..the rabbits are making a comeback and im winding down with work after october,im getting a bit of hunting done next season..i was flat out at work for the last year and a bit ,and i had no season at all ..i now need to procure a ferret hutch..i have still my nets,locators  and spade etc..im thinking hard  and want to make the right decision..my daughter will rear it up for me anytime im not there,feeding etc,so it will probably end up in the house as a pet too lol.....DECISIONS DECISIONS ,DECISIONS

I like sitting on my box with a coffee, ferret in the hole and waiting for the first bolter...

I got rid of my ferrets in october time because i only went out once a month.typical that i got some good rabbit ground in february.i'm going down to a 4 day week in the winter so i can get out more.i'll get a couple of jills just for bolting to the dogs.

Hello mate.

I doubt there will be any albinos. I've used dark polecat types.  But you never know.

There is a young fella I gave a lurcher and my ferrets and large two level hutch too. 8foot long and 3 foot wide.He would give me a working ferret or young kit for you if you want one. Free of charge too I would hope after I gifted him a couple of hundreds worth of gear. I wouldn't keep them stinkers in the house though. If he doesn't have any spare he will know where to get them. Get yourself sorted and make a decent hutch made from water proof plywood and 3 x 2 and then give me a buzz. Don't buy them weak hutchs  in pet shop ( they are dirt)
