Borr 4,502 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I had a really game hob who's done a few badger, ended up putting a bell on his collar just to give them a chance of escaping, if you ring a bell at certain woods he frequented you can still see badgers running out the other end... 5 3 10 Quote Link to post

I can't beat @boors joke so I'll be serious, just don't try it. Fox is also a serious risk although I have over the years bolted foxes that were in rabbit warrens (no smell or evidence of them ) on two occasions with no loss of ferrets 2 Quote Link to post
Daniel cain 42,892 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Bolted the odd fox over the yrs with a big old albino hob....best to not even walk over any active Badger setts these days 3 2 Quote Link to post

Borr 4,502 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I've bolted a stoat and numerous rats out of rabbit holes, worst was me sat inside a massive blackthorn and bramble patch watching a few nets only for rats to bolt towards me in my thorny tomb...as said avoid anything to do with badgers. 4 Quote Link to post

Bobtheferret 1,224 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Bloody badgers are a pain in the arse round me, keep taking over decent rabbit holes and ruining them. What’s odd is the number of rabbits seem to live in the warren still you would think they would go the minute a badger was in the vicinity. Best to steer clear though as a badger is basically just a huge ferret really. Strong as a hell and bite to match. Despite what people claim not many dogs could face up to a badger let alone a ferret. Quote Link to post
