TOMO 29,025 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 cant see your small ferrets bolting 30 rabbits a day it would burn them out ,they wouldn't have the pace to last and a big buck in a dead end dead right mate they cant bolt 30 but they can bolt 73 this little jil was part of the team Quote Link to post
Guest ferretman1990 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 like the small ferrets because they dont get stuck in the net when they come Quote Link to post

hubbs 178 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Large warrens should have a majoriy of the holes filled in to make ferreting easier. In these situations big hobs will work like mad all day everyday. I find small jockey jills a excellent for small shallow warrens and work well with dogs.. It depends on the ground and size of warrens it would be stupid to put a huge hob under trees as it is tight and difficult.. i beleive a good ferreter has a collection of ferrets so that the pot can be filled everytime, and i just dont get people who say small or even big are the best as it depends on the situations just as with lurchers..

hubbs 178 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Im not saying i hate small jills as i use them myself , But i have also worked big hobs on big jobs and i beleive they are better at certain jobs just as are smaller ones.. Quote Link to post
TOMO 29,025 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 WHY FILL THE HOLES IN BIG BURRYS, EVEN BIG 200-300 HOLERS GET THE LONG NETS OUT 20 FERTS START ONE END AND WORK ALONG, FECK DIIGING HOLES IN Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 why fill holes in, making hard work for yourself, and potential stop ends for bolting rabbits and ferrets to be dug out as already described, longnet encircled, a few purse nets if needed, bobs ya uncle Quote Link to post
hubbs 178 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well thats your choice have you ever tried it , if not then do. Go down a day or two before fill them in , then you can see which ones are used and trust me its not many and about 20 nets should easily do it and a good lurcher or two if you have any.. Im not saying im better or this is better but try it .. Its fun and will bag a good few. It doesnt take as long as you think and i personally have no issue with digging.. I just prefer log nets elsewhere . Plus you have more control over the burry.. Quote Link to post
rabbit tourmentor 29 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 i found when i started i didnt have anoth nets so i missed a hole which was covered in stick and didnt look to be used so i left it started ferreting and a rabbit bolted that hole luckily the hob had hold of its legs and that was my first rabbit anyway my point is if they have a ferret behind them they will still use an abandoned hole Quote Link to post
rabbit tourmentor 29 Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 i was walking throw my permission and sore a nice warren put the ferret down with no nets rabbit tryed to bolt but the ferret had it for me lucky me Quote Link to post
