ferretville 69 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Me and Ripstop went to the local gollf course for a bit sport. First sett we did was about 25 holes banged in 3 jills 2o minutes before anything bolted . first one was bolted by a couple of the ferrets, quickly dispatched, then 5 mins later one slipped the net and the young bitch snapped it up and returned it live to hand. next set of holes was about 6 in a small space , so netted up and put rips two young white jills in, 5 mins later then an explosion of fur, 2 good strong rabbits humanely dispatched. on to next spot and in the 2 young uns, a fine bolt. packed up and on the way home found a few holes on the side of the path,so out with the 2 jills, thump and a rabbit slipped through a hiden bolt hole, young bitch missed only because the fence was obstructed , nearly but not quite,then boom a second thumper in the net, all in all a day in the making of two promising young jills and a mini rocket and ripstop showed me how to skin a rabbit YIS FERRETVILLE Quote Link to post

Guest ripstop Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 is that spade any good? been looking at one and thinking about getting one to try... ITS NOT BAD FOR UNDER A FIVER, SEEMS TO SLICE THROUGH THE GROUND, LIGHT, USED IT ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS, HANDLE DOES SOMETIMES SEEM A LITTLE SLACK, BUT USED SENSIBLY IT ISNT THAT BAD, SURE SOMEONE WILL DISSAGREE, ALSO GOOD FOR CLEARING THE ENTRANCES AWAY.

T78 4 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 most of the land i ferret is very light sandy soil so something small and light like that would be ideal.... maybe! my mate uses a foldable one but i hate those!! Quote Link to post
