Pup coming on well 5/8 3/8 collie greyhound coming up nine month

Been run off my feet these past few weeks, what with relatives in hospital, feck me have I had my eyes open, so we get out when we can, except for my mate penny, id have gone round the bend, still ive done my best for folks, but I need to be out , and enjoy what I love most

Don't u put him off poxon I'm already at Milton Keynes

BG Dave is sitting at home watching that ,nodding his head and muttering " right on brother " to himself

Area close to me often gets the tanker treatment, rabbit burrows, fox earths, badger settes, if they can get the pipe to it it's getting filled. Cruel way for an animal to die.

Nothing much beats, a big old whippet or a racy Beddie /Whippet, on top of a warren,...they are quicksilver fast... But,..being a lover of all the various herding breeds,... I do like a sensible Collie x Greyhound ... Mind you,..it has got to be easily schooled and pleasant to live with,...or such a hybrid can be a fecking nightmare...

Shame he's in the shade. Cheers Arry

This fella too (half cross).

Very true. Sometimes their character is almost a contradiction of itself, combining extreme sensativity with strong drive. Easy to feck up but good if you get it right. When they're like that they're no good for a short tempered or impatient person but do well with encouragement when they get it right. I like them myself and I've had some over the years that would take almost anything.. The brindle bitch in the photo was one.

first picks i got before it melted

Haha number of holes has no correlation with numbers in the area. Ive seen 5 emerge from a tiny 1 holer only several feet of tube. Yet theres plenty of extensive setts with many active holes that only have 1 in it. No hard and fast rule imo and ive never understood how they can be confident on there population estimates when the population varies so drastically from area to area.

Beagle x springer x beagle xsealyham.

I am unfortunately going to have to re home my girls. I have 3 pole jills 2 are related and one it unrelated all workers and from working stock. I dont have the time to get them out working as offen as i should and in my opinion thats not fair on the little monsters. They will be going with a full set up il try to list everything but will miss bits. 3 jills 10"x6"x4" run with large hutch Another backup hutch Bits for the cage bowls trays tubes ect Food Travel box Feild box Locator and collar Nets All to go dont want them to go without as theve got used to

It would be of great interest to find any particular people who fly such a bird in the modern day environment of today, however, I don't think the modern day environment suits such birds, and i'll commit myself to say in that it takes somewhat different a person to do a bird such justice. However , I may be wrong, but i'm not one for the new applied methods and the often new contraptions provided to falconers of today. I am talking of the perhaps my most favoured of the Shortwings: namely the very, somewhat difficult Sparrow hawk. The history of such birds happened many years ago now, wh

We have a 30s thats downtuned to 5.5 fpe. We never intended to use it as a long range rifle. So I shortened a maccari spring and made tight fitting guides for the rifle. Its the rifle my wife uses for shooting matchsticks and splitting cards at 15 meters. The rifle has a bullbarrel, and I added a piece at the end of the stock, per my wifes request (see picture). But you know how women are..... she now wants to take this rifle to the range and shoot it at 50 meters (55y). So I ordered tinbum guides and a stock 30s spring at a gunshop. I hope to gain 2 fpe and still have that docile shotcyc

Had another very enjoyable day out with the dogs, and ferrets What’s new right? ? I hadn’t been to this property for a few months; last time I was here, there were a lot of kits, so I left them until now. It was a reasonably successful day, and good to see a few fox’s about, don’t normally see many in the day time here, will be spotlighting here over the next month that’s for sure. Next few days here will be over 35 degrees Celsius, at least the dogs will get a well earned rest to freshen them up, they are feeling the pinch a bit, after a heavy couple of weeks. Hope you enjoy the vi

Done well for me mate I was more than happy with her I got a pup out of her to bring on for next season she’s looking promising I put he to a real good bedlington x greyhound

Feck every one else pal get your dog An get out your find you don’t need no lamping partner

Never take an open mic on the streets of America and ask them opinions or questions. They are f***ing idiots.

Or both like mine ?

You missed off; pokey bum wanks after the lovely moonlit stroll ?

No one took the bait

Butchery level 0 lol first one iv done got some good meat and plenty for the dogs non wasted

Cheers Arry

Trouble with cougars ive found, they got too much stamina.

Hi GT, I`ve always been a strong believer in " Accuracy trumps power" period ! I practice on paper a lot and will practice on walks also - I`ll go through a tin a week practicing in the summer months, easily, but I always practice at what I consider air rifle ranges, - never beyond . The greatest test in air gun hunting is concealment and getting within range, as said, a lot of people think more power will dispense this burden, it most certainly does not. Greater the power x greater the distance = greater the demand on skills

Some people cant deal with what sometimes a collie type temperament brings and should and would be better off with a different type.

Good day today 2 dug in handy place

Yesterday i set six snares about five mile down the road ,this morning because of fallen trees i had to make a twenty mile detour , whi have lost a load of pictures the en i got there i had pulled a couple up and then on to my sixth snare which had tagged a cock bird by which time my camera had packed up , i have only had it six weeks and it has never been right the pictures are fuzzy, black , not there and the battery goes flat so it will be on its way back to-day.

Here is the E,O,D. taken at home after charging the heap of shit for an hour .

The last thing you should be doing is shooting any type of game till your confident you know your rifle and your happy you can safely kill your target at what ever range you pull the trigger , but there's nothing stopping you from going out and shooting targets , scots pine cones etc in fact any thing your happy pinging away at and all different sizes the better after a few outings you will have a better understanding of what you and your airgun can do . I don't know if the guy has any experience of a normal air gun before getting a fac rated gun as i believe doing the apprenticeship wo

Quote:- I`ve always been a strong believer in " Accuracy trumps power" period ! I really don't understand why you keep saying this Mark me ole duks, nobody on here or any other forum says otherwise. It is however a great advantage to have both which is what you get with FAC. As I have said before, you should come out with me and use the FAC, then you can form an opinion based on fact and experience of actually using one to know what they are capable of doing. Phil

I'm at risk of maybe repeating what the lads have said here because it is sound, positive advice. But, I've been shooting an FAC rated HW80 .22 that's been superbly set-up, very happily for nigh on 20 years now. And the only really useful, practical lesson it has taught me is this. USE THE EXTRA FAC POWER TO COVER SENSIBLE AIR RIFLE HUNTING RANGE DISTANCES FASTER THAN A SUB-12 FT/LBS RIFLE CAN! Use the extra power in the pellet to hit your rabbit faster than sub 12 at the same distances. It amazes me the number of posts about folk wanting to go to FAC power and the questions are alwa

In good, socialist tradition, she clearly has her hair done by the council !

Or I might not ... depends on wether I can get the VAT back ???

the problem with trying to improve what you have is every thing you add can move things to much, then you add something else to correct it, and your further away from your goal, the top quality coursing blood we have today has decades of best to best breeding, the quality shines through time and time again, because there is so much depth to it, having said all that I am sure it will improve your type of dog atb.

Socks will have it

Download chairgun and it will work it out for you. You need roughly 3ftlb to the brain to kill a rabbit humanely but just to confuse matters, that means my BSA R10 will drop a rabbit at 116 yards with 11.5ftlb at the muzzle yet that's a shot I would never even consider taking. Even if it's on FAC, I wouldn't pay too much attention to maximum distance kill shots as they appear great on paper but in practice there are too many variables such as wind etc to send the pellet off course and risking wounded quarry?

The beauty of terrierwork is that you have a choice. Let a good specimen go or cull the weak. That in my books, would be doing the population a favour.

The badger protection people will have done far more damage to the badger than dog lads ever could, poor old Brock's days are numbered, control of the badger population is one thing wiping them out should be unexseptable to any right minded person, this is being driven by greedy farmers who want to keep ten times the amount of cattle on the same acreage has their father's who would of been happy with. I wonder what they will blame when Brock's gone.

These are Northumbrian whippets not southern budgies

Not having it, you've photoshopped those pics to make it look like your whippet can handle bad weather! Everyone knows whippets CAN NOT handle snow, freezing cold winds and harsh ground/weather etc, ask socks he'll tell you

I picked up this old .177 HW77 at the RFD a couple of days ago. Paul at the shop told me that at some point 'it had been owned by one of those mob from Vermin Hunters TV'. He had it advertised as a 'Sandwell 77'. I must admit I was a bit dubious because the edge of the sticker looked like it had been picked at. It was very smooth and quiet to cock and, the shot cycle is quick but easily manageable. It's a little scruffy all round but, nothing that can't be sorted. The open sights are missing - I'd like to get those back on there eventually. The
