Bladdy Jills!

[andy s410c 62]

Interesting way of doing it Brimmer.

I suppose if its all shallow digs, then why not, seems to work for you anyhow..

I think woodga on here just uses hobs aswell.

 

Frank.

We will still use nets in tricky areas, and longnets on big open warrens, but mostly it's 3 -12 holers, and a couple of bunny's at most. It's pretty shallow most of the time, so a quick flash with the spade and it's done. It also gets the dogs a bit keener on marking up if they get a run for there troubles of marking up.

Came unstuck on this one though!

How not to do it! Idiot with a spade alert!

You digging for oil there B :oops:

That's my worst dig ever on that land in 16 years. lucky the weather was fine! (no oil though, or Australia!)

Aye that look's like it was some dig

i reckon it all depends on your ground. i usually work jills as i want bolters and dont want to dig as most of the burys we work go off the scale on the mark 3. Much though i love my ferreting i wouldnt want to be digging 14 foot holes under hedges for every rabbit and im sure the land owner wouldnt like it either.

 

Thats what i like about these forums, the chance to see how its done differently by other people.

 

Happy hunting!

I mostly use jills unless they play up and start showing off and wont work most of the time they are fine but when i walk over 3 miles and they dont want to work it takes the piss

 

 

Nice pics...

Thats what I'd be using for sure if i had the buggers dissapearing of the finder! Suppose i'm lucky really, don't have too many deep one's.

Oh by the way, i filled it back in, never to be dug again!

it always amazes me how deep some of them go. im talking 10 - 20 hole burys in hedges 1.5m wide by 3-5m long and they spend most of their time so deep i cant even detect them!

 

i was told the deeper the bury the older it is but dont know if its true, if it is these hedges must be ancient!
