  1. I had a quick look, I am not interested in slagging they off apart from to say his books are worse than darcy's... but I do like the cover picture of him on the moon!
  2. Ive used both with the ferrets, and once or twice taped a mark 3 collar to the terriers collar. And then forked out for a b+f....
  3. Life is (unfortunately) change.... I have enjoyed reading your posts. I hope you keep writing them.
  4. To be honest, apart from killing green foxcubs I have never found summer hunting overly productive whether its lamping or daytime, due to poor scent, height of crops, sun baked ground and it gets dark too feckin late when I need to be up and about in the morning!
  5. My bad, foxdropper. Luckily everyone knew what I meant
  6. Am looking to get a spare locator box.... I already have the pieps type, but I am wondering if the red box is better or should I stick with what I know? Thanks for reading
  7. I have seen them put into small dishes of water to keep them fresh
  8. I reckon mid 40's if I just have the dogs in and take it steady
  9. I have done it a few times. I put a hutch right infront of the kennel so the dog sees the ferret all the time, but most importantly the dog sees me handling the ferret and putting it back in the hutch, and even put the ferret into a carrying box and walk the dogs when the dog has run off abit of energy get the ferret out, let it see me handle the ferret (no pun) and build up like that. I'd spend the summer doing it and keep try it working next season. That said, as steady as the dog seems, the first time it bolts a rabbit and then the ferret shows tests my nerves to the limits!
  10. I have a 05 plate, normal cab. I think its a brilliant van, I just hope wish they would make them 4wd!
  11. We don't NEED them, but then again the syndicates who shoot don't NEED to shoot pheasants
  12. Sorry, just realised it was the school field side you meant!
  13. Was it Floyd B. that ran a lot of conventions with wives and children welcome because he was seeing so many marriages breaking up over the dogs? Personally I blame women. OK, if a lad takes up dogs after he's married then herself has an argument, but if he had dogs when she met him then she shouldn't try and change him. But they do. Women have it in their heads that they'll turn a man in to the man she wants and not the man he wants to be and then the marriage breaks up. So to sum up my argument, Women in the dog game are the poison, LOL. I blame women too.... When I started wit
  14. If the terrier box gets left behind please let me know....
  15. If anyone has one that they think is too small for fox work, please get in touch
  16. I tried the b+f collar with the old grey knocker box once, the box made did pick it up, but the few seconds between each know would make actually locating your ferret/terrier too frustrating to bother with
  17. Training your spaniel to stop to flush is all well and good, but when it starts to push game out and the lurcher is giving chase and making catches, you will find the spaniel will start joining in
  18. I have used it regularly in the past but I find that mostly it is good stuff, but occasionally you get a dodgy batch and end up with squitty turds and the next batch will be fine
  19. I have only managed it once or twice with day time/evening adult foxes. I find even cubs don't fall for it, but on a snowy night, if you can get into a good position without crunching up and making too much noise they can be squeaked up pretty well
