Cranfield Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I prefer the little jills as they work harder and are rarely able to catch a rabbit and hold it. I have had rabbits hit the nets, with a small jill hanging on. Bigger polecats can catch and hold rabbits, which can be a nuisance. But, they are good for moving foxes out of land drains and finding laid-up jills (before locators). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted June 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 theres always going to be arguments personally i work jills or very small hobs saves you a lot of digging colour doesnt matter a ferret is a ferret how is colour going to affect it? basically each to their own if someone likes hobs then they like hobs someone likes jills tehy like jills all down to personal opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crowstopper Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I must say I prefer to use large hobs, I have 3 of them fang and bandit and One with no name I will get some photos of them soon and post them, My mate also has a VERY large hob which is about the size of a small cat, although this is to big as the poor ferret can not fit down all the holes and we can not get a locator on him as he has such a fat neck :look: crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 my mate walks him on a lead in the street where he lives My first wife used to have 6 of the ******* and take them for walks on a lead. She though more of the little F.....s than she did of me. I used three of them for rabbiting. Always 1 small Gill to bolt the bunnies and I made sure she wasnt too hungry as to kill and lay up on the carcass as the bigger hobs sometimes do. If the gills sometimes are unkeen to return a big hob will often flush them out. Once I lost a gill for about two hours and she finally made it out ripped to pieces I dug down the burrow and out popped the biggest feral pole cat I have ever seen. Nasty piece of work he was even took a good chunk out of my Border before i finished him off with the 20g. I used to go with a Ferret and a shotgun, no nets, to hone my shooting skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 FM, sounds like a good way to optomise your snap shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
