But the critters in the zoo have all the right paperwork to be in the country they also generate a lot more for the local economy

Took old blue out today with bells sister done a we bit netting then bolted some for the dog had 2 kits out for the first done well

real nice looking dogs, like our old staffs we had in 60s, this was in wolves , most came from the blac0k country = walsall, tipton etc, some stocky, and other leggy , just like apbt of today , i had big pit bitch 20in 60lb (reid lines , but our staffs were very simlar only smaller back in the late 50-60s .

woke up this morning to the sound of magpies in the back garden at causeway,i always leave the bedroom window open just enough to get the barrel through so not to spook them when opening the window,first one was at the bottom mews seeing if there was any food lying around but it kept moving its head up and down so I could not take a head shot,so I went for a heart shot and took it out,then the heavens opened birds screaming everywhere,it amazes me when you shoot a magpie how quickly the crows appear,they all sat up in the conifers I just waited my time till another magie landed to check its fa

So on monday evening i took the eldest lad to the local gun shop and got him a baikal single .410 for the grand total of £75... absolute bargain! So each night this week ive taken him up the farm for a few shots which paid off! Today we went out and first field a pheasant ran and as it was about to get up he shot it at 25yrds. He was shaking with adrenaline! Then we headed into a wood where the dog insisted the was something up a tree, eventually i saw a squirrel in a fork, as i stooped down to show him where it was, off it went like the clappers so

Hope you all have a loving and peaceful Christmas. Be safe if hunting. All the very best for you and yours one and all

Me and craig have been out the last two nights on the corvids and 1st night was a bit dissapointing but last night was a different kettle of fish we hit 3 different roosts and achieved a cracking bag we been out this morning (dropping xmas cards off ) and a crow and squirrel fell to craigs rapid

For me it is the Jack Russell terrier. I have always been of he opinion that working terriers are a rather unique type of dog. Small in size (from necessity) but never stature. Hunt like hounds but game . As unique as all working bred terriers are I find the Jack Russell the most enigmatic. What exactly are they? What defines them?. Well that's easy now, if they are not recognised by the KC as a Parson or a Jack Russell then they are just mongrels. I can live with that. The Jack Russells themselves don't really give a shit.

Got the kids involved in preparing Christmas dinner this year, my godson came over to help pluck the turkeys... don't get much fresher than bringing them on yourselves!!

Invited "Pud"from the Border ratters for a day on the long tails on one of my farms in the Borders.Pud brought his two Plummer bitches which would acompamy my two Plummers and collie "Merle". Today we used smoker and spades,We killed 55 rats a lot of which where dug out the rest bolted by smoker. These dogs are all seasoned ratters so today was a joy both men and dogs new what had to be done..Some great sport all dogs making some great kills .Took couple pics on phone,atb Keith j.

I’ll put one up then , “the trouble with Africa , stories from a safari camp “ a great read about Africa in the late eighties onwards to the millennium, some fantastic tales from a hidden paradise in Zambia.

Lee, it would be fantastic if this time next year you were posting on here saying how well those Borders were working, and they a present and not sold for stupid prices. It might teach a few of the peddlers and dreamers a lesson. Best of luck with them and I really hope they do their breeder and new owners proud.

what is the breeding of the pup that you will be getting from dave, is it out of saracen, and how old,the reason i ask is because as i stated on the saracen forum, ive had 2 dogs from dave over the years, and didnt find them to be lacking what i wanted out of them, any body that has been around the breed and worked them for a long time knows they take a while to mature,are not out and out world beaters on every quarry, what i can say from my experience with them is they are a good and honest old traditional pot filling dog, back in the 1970s, when i first started out with deerx greys , purcha

This pic is from October but it was taken about 20 feet from my bedroom. It's on the property and while blurry it's a couple of muleys, the left of the pic is the corner of my garage!

Do you want see the vids

Young dog of my mates 5th dig

Passed there once ,saw some scruffy fker shitting in a hedge in the car park ,so gave it a miss .

I don't really get chance to stop at a cafe while I'm working but we do pass a butty shop now and again. That's the bin lid I had yesterday and it almost beat me but I soldiered on and ate it. Its got 4 sausage, 4 bacon, 4 black pudding, eggs, mushrooms etc in it and it' a beast.

Anyone got "A History of Welsh comedy" by Dai Laffin ? Or "American Independence" by Bertha Venation ?

My pal has some hash at the moment it comes in 100g plates.Havnt smelled hash like it for probably 20+ year's

Little team photo from earlier!

Little point in sending rubbish anymore , they learned that cos the home grown boom fettled that issue once and for all but the boutique quality hash market is rapidly growing , people starting too realise it's not soap or even low grade , it's top notch mostly stronger than the weed they smoking , there's a whole generation only ever known quality weed , hash is alien too them , with older lads they just know one look one sniff one touch or hold of it just tells it's own story

They sell breakfast pasties (and pies) down here, bacon, egg, sausage and tomato (once had one with beans). Cheers, D.

dont hide it, like a dirty little secret, thats what got it banned in the first place. shove it down there throats and feck em

Turkey,beef and a ham with all the trimmings, we are,nt fans of seeing people alone on Christmas so generally have a house full of wafe,s and strays, were upto around a dozen for dinner and a few more in the afternoon, same again on Boxing Day with bubble and squeak,cold meats and pickles followed by a 2ft square of tiramisu for pudding and 25ltrs of scrumps to wash it down

True but they tried that with the Yanks. The states basically doubled down and made laws that make it illegal to harass lawful hunters. You'll never get that in Britain.

Bedlington terrier for me, my grandfather and father had some good all rounders. Bolting fox for pelts, and ferreting, ratting, beating, picking up, bushing and also in my opinion the best x for a moochers lurcher. I like all the working terrier breeds, some are falling into the wrong hands "pet homes but worse still" money men. A working terriers job should be earth work but I haven't got kennel space for just earth dogs if I did I'd go for a fell, or lakeland. my dog must be a all-rounder filling many work roles so it's a bedlington in my opinion,

A couple of young un's working with the lurcher, the black one marked ever set.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Jml0XJYMo

Agree 100%. this girl never started a fight but would finish one double quick if provoked. Great with people.

The grandmother of the pup i put up the other day. Bred rocky my dear and banjo bred bitch.

Back at Pauls today, had 17 in the bag in just a few hours, also took a look at some of the newly acquired ground, for future outings, all in all another fantastic day out with the dogs, ferrets and nets. Life is good. Enjoy Guy's

Have you got your shopping done i was asked by 3 women today, theres only 2 days left i was told, whats happening are we under seige. Oh no i forgot its christmas the time of part time insanity, and wandering around shops like MR and MRS wilderbeeste. What the hell is all the panic about its only two bloody days when the shops are closed WTF is all the panic about.

We had to do a bit of shopping last night - just milk, bread etc, nothing special. Shops weren't too bad, which is just as well........the good Lady BB suddenly "remembered" lots of things that we desperately needed, but I could have sworn we'd already got ! She insisted on getting a litre bottle of brandy (which neither of us drink), because "my dad might like a drop". I should point out that the old boy is in hospital, with complications following knee surgery, and will be there until the New Year ! I drew the line at more sprouts..........there will just be the two of us, as usual

I've got some diced and minced goat in the freezer. I'd never had it before so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I'm thinking curried goat on boxing day. I made a shepherds pie with some of the mince - it was nice, a bit like lamb but a weaker flavour and less oily. I like it.

The Yanks are big fans of the streaky bacon. It can be very fatty. Nothing wrong with it but when you're dealing with British Standards I want the f*ck*ng kite mark on it. That means my local butcher gets me the proper stuff. As for the sausage, I've yet to see my local man beaten. You name it he's got a recipe and the last lot I had in were caribou. I know because I watched him process the carcass! Amazing stuff and not bad for a little shitty hick town. The beans were touching the rest of the food. I send it back. Nothing wrong with standards my friend. Anyone of us could check

The UK economy is mostly service based, which means that the population has to brainwashed into spending as much money as they can afford, and often a lot more. No matter how strongly I try and resist the general air of 'we must stock up for months in case of ... fill in the blank: snow, siege, global melt down etc etc, I still find myself buying that little bit more food than we actually need for a week. Culture, media: they are all to blame. Kudos to those who go and sit on a mountain for the next week.

To snag a picture like that is worth the fee alone!

This isn't a piss take but I'd actually like to get one on camera. I can do all of the above but the only shot would be the photo. I do like those cats.
