    I have found regular dogging in can be a two edged sword..... its easy to stand at on end of the field and let the dog push on too far, but if you bare that in mind and treat dogging in as dog training it will be the best training for beating you can get

    The main factor is what range you are going to be shooting at. With 58grain bullets if I zero for 1 inch high at 100yds then im bang on at 200 yards

    I have a Russell (tri colour) that's deaf he works ok, when I bred off him one of the litter was deaf too. I won't breed off him again, which is a shame as he works well.

    The Head keeper was off on another shoot with the big boss today, so I snuck off the estate after feeding my birds. I arrived on some of my old permission about 2.15 so I was cutting things fine to say the least! But after I'd collared up the two jills and put the jack russel (in case we ran something cheekier to ground than a rabbit) on a lead I turned around and Jake, my lurcher was already marking the first burrow, both jills in (last years but pretty unexperienced) and quick bolt which jake caught within 8ft of the hole, and i'm thinking how the lurcher is still pretty handy despite a L

    Once the hare is in the net do they struggle like feck or do they usually go still? Ive found some spun polyester in my net making stuff and I reckon it could be the stuff to use, since it seems best to not over gun the nets too much?

    I have some stuff that a mate gave me. He reckons its what they make trawler nets with. It holds foxes pretty good, could be the same stuff?
  12. Hands of Stone
    Probably use the same stuff I make fox nets from. Whats recommended?

    I am planning to make a few hare stop/gate nets. What size mesh boards do most people use?

    Going by some of the things I've read I think this is the wrong place for literature lessons

    Ok I know this has probably been done to death, but I'm just wondering which type of collies people have experience with and what they like/don't like? I prefer welsh collies as they are a bit more independent than a border but a bit more part of a team than bearded and kelpies.

    If by corn you mean wheat try maize. If you already mean maize then theres not much they prefer

    MixedGrill, Is it an old bloke from North Wales that doubles them up?

    On our place we shoot vermin on the rearing field and in and around the release pens with shotguns and centrefires. If anything it seems to help on a shoot day as the pheasants don't take it personally.

    I was told that when rearing young ferrets, keep them in a low cage so that they get used to you towering over them.... but I find they get used to you when you let em play on the lawn... any thoughts?

    I think the 3rd is something to do with a new strain of lepto.

    The lad who took her has been vouched for by a couple of mates and anyway, I know where he lives so I can keep an eye on things.... I have put a few to sleep when I've deemed it best, and I would have done it again if a better option hadn't come up
