Frank Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) Set of with my big hob this morning to the good place, but thoughts of seeing mixy rabbits was running threw my mind and the prospect of getting noting loomed over me like a black cloud. ( What a ******* pessimist i am ) Anyhow, parked up and set off. Got to the first bury, netted up and waited for a miniute or 2 to let settle and checked the colar and locator. ****, its not working that well, only bleaps here and their . I was starting to get vexed and them nagative comments about the MK 3, were going threw my head Sod it, i should of checked it before i came out i thought. I carried on anyhow, but stuck to small burys, enterd the hob and rumble, rumble, then nothing....Ahhhhhrrrrr looked like a lie up. What could i do, i waited and he eventually came out Good. Moved on and to my surprise, seen some healthy bunnys go into a set, excellent, netted up and got 2 out of their, did not want to risk a lie up so moved on. Got another one and missed 1 more , sliped the net . I could of done more, but without the collar on the ferret, i did not want to risk it, so packed up and set off for home. When i got home, i tested the locator with the other collar and it seemed to work just fine , the batterys had gone on the one i took with me. Strange that, as i have it only a month and a half and have not used it that much. From now on, i will allways carry spare batterys. Pictures below are, all netted up, and the 3 i got with my hob.

Ferret Master Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I put some batteries in my MK3 collar earlier to test it and to my horror found no bleeping. It seems it doesn't always slide together fully and a bit of duct tape round it works fine to keep it together. I always put duct tape around it to protect the terminals. Out of interest where does everyone buy their batteries for the collar as the v393's are not common. That looks like another good bag frank I can't wait until me and flash go ferreting on Monday.

Ferret Master Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Hi, I went into Boots today and looked at their batteries but they didn't have any v393's. I buy my lazer batteries from there but they don't stock my ferret finder batteries. Thanks anyway. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Most of my new permission i have got, is in hedges aswell FB The place in the pic is the only place i have at present that has easy holes to net and mxy has killed off half the population their, although its seems some have escaped and a few healthy ones around yet. Thanks all, Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
