Took dear old Dusty for her last walk today...? I was gifted this good-hearted pup, from a guy that in reality, I hardly knew. I traveled from my home in Hampshire to a Welsh Valley and collected her... She was a super friendly pup and fitted into our lifestyle, no problem. She served me well, for nine long years, we had some good times, caught vanloads of game and enjoyed plenty of laughs,... I am sad to say goodbye ... Alas, the Big C has no mercy and seems to enjoy inflicting horrendous pain.? I feel privileged to deny this heartless monster it's perverse en

Day off no work no digging no beating so spent the afternoon with a pup , nice little beetle hunt

Sometimes hunters also have to stand up and take responsibility for the decline in numbers, can only kill them once and kill them all and they’ll never fully recover.

I'v not been on here for years but just wanted to see how bad it really is everywhere concerning the collapse of rabbit numbers. 8-9 years ago a friend who works on a big farm estate on the Herts cambs boarders came to see me... Fetch your dogs n ferrets on here as much as you like and john's farms over run with them I'll get you on there too!!! That year my friend Richard who got me on that land, shot... and I will admit he's a great shot 160 rabbits cutting a corn field at harvest as they ran from the combine. This year he shot 2! I had a great season taking decent number

Im going to wait until all this shit is over with my son then im going to try for my fac and sgc so im going to put the impact on the back burner for now Now after all this talk of the hw110 (not the k) im thinking of going for one my self so im going to have a look at a brand new one in 177 this way i can get a rifle and a new add on black night if i cant get on with the 110 ill chop it in for a hw100k but iv got to at least give it ago right you can now take the p*ss mitch lol mind im only thinking of it and im going to talk to the fao to see

She helped one of mine to learn the game ......

Sire zuse sal bull grey 25 tts dam rosie sal bull grey 24tts good honest grafters this is what they produced

its all ways the same pal them who have done f**k all and had f**k worth haveing have most to say but thats life

Not even got a lurcher now and I'm glad because there's no point killing the last couple of rabbits on a place is there and it's not fair keeping one with nothing to run. I've seen loads of posts on forums and facebook of people saying they've ferreted all day and only caught 1 or 2 in places they used to get good numbers and rabbits out of every warren and I don't know about you but I'd pack up and leave rather than searching for the last 2 to kill.

Well, on Saturday I went off to see Fuji to collect my pup. I can honestly say what a level , smashing litter , full of character and shining coats. Got him home and after a few tense moments with his half sister the pack have all settled down. Popped him into the studio for some shots today and grabbed a quick shot of the big girl whilst on a walk , So here is Loki and his big Sister Sox

Recently made this for a returning customer. He wanted an Opinel with antler handle as close to the original shape as possible. It is a No9 Stainless Inox blade.

You can say that about any cross they follow the sire or dam ? I disagree with you the 2nd Gen will go back to the coursing / saluki most of the time even having feathered tails where F1 didnt , the coursing /Saluki Gene is so strong , the bull blood will get so watered down they will be like pure coursing dogs in looks and ways nearly ? and thats from experience of 3 litters of 2nd gen Come on Bill your just making it up now to sound interesting you little bugger ? Your spelling and English has improved thou il give you that mate.

I've been ferreting a few form different areas and dropping them in areas where I had 're introduced them after a 12 year period of none at all. They were doing well for 5 year then the 2nd strain hit it . That was 8 weeks ago and a few are still being seen . So maybe the added blood strains have made a few strong enough to survive. If every man kept a few alive and keep dropping them in areas where the shooters can't get at them . We can help the rabbit survive

Cheers lads i’ll Be doing no more filming for the rest of the season just going to enjoy watching the dogs and ferrets work it sort of starts taking over and the enjoyment out of the day i’ll Leave it to the young un’s from now lol a pic from today atb.

Been working and building my own feeding station and hide for past couple months and now i'm very happy to say all my hard work has paid off, Male Sparrowhawk came in today for 30 mins and what a stunning bird he is. I can't express enough the satisfaction and sense of achievement i have right now.

Bloody miserable wet weather, so I lit the fire, walked the dogs and came back in and got a lump of bacon that I cured from the last pig. Tasted bloody lovely, well happy with it.

A day early,some kids in costume tonight outside wanting candy,didn’t have the heart to tell them..........

Naaa just got to see what all the fuss is about then ill buy my self a new spoon atvbjimmy

Have you been smoking crack?

Take the P!$$ , me no way Have you had a bang on the head or something ,but honestly they are good and once you find the knack with the mag its easy

Drill the heads off, then once you remove the surround get the pliers or mole grips on & turn the rest out

The rabbit numbers are OK round me but not many people hammering them don't get me wrong your not going to go out and get the numbers you used to but if you dintend hammer the same spots over and over you'd still manage a few good runs.I heard a few year ago of a chap not far from me dropping a few pet buck rabbits about and left the spots for a couple of seasons and helped the numbers as pet rabbits breed more or something

Although it's blacks I dig now this boy has a place in my heart. We covered some ground together.

f**k me is it me or do they all look like having times of their life ? They the new chuckle brothers ?

the bitch is 7 mate and am not sure about the dog maybe 4 or 5 and no he half cross pal
