First time me or dog have used ferrets. Very pleased with him. Concentrated perfectly and was quick on the bolt. It was quite a big warren although only bolted 1. Not sure whether the ferret was going deep enough. The ferret was a stray handed into a farmer, so unsure on her working wisdom. Needless to say I was happy with a catch. Weather was against us.

so after loads of tests scans and questions I have my license back they put it down to me fainting and bad concussion I can return to work tomorrow! Am so pleased

“Hammer”

If you're out lamping and think thats a rabbit or any other animal, get rid of your lurchers and your lamps and take up knitting ffs... what a pile of shite...

Got the bitch just now.a bit cold and hungry but she'll be fine.thanks lads

I drive a 1975 leaf spring 109 series 3 mate so ride quality is,nt something I worry about to much, I think the suspension moved once when I tipped it into a ditch, ??

Anyone who beats or robs the elderly vulnerable members of society,violates the sanctity of their homes,causes them terror and pain deserves bricking to be honest.

Owned a few grews over the years but none have filled a bag like my blue and white ped whippet, the young bitch out of her is ok but not a patch on her old mum. Another young grew as come my way very green and unfit but I like the way she runs , i’ll Keep posting how she gets on good or bad just hope she can fill a bag like my old ped ?

Devon county Hunt Saboteurs are recruiting if anyone wants to give them a call? ? 07717 473305 Cheers, D.

Out for a couple of hours this morning with Big Kev, Zip, and young Fleet, who continues to improve and impress, ended the day with 17 keepers. Here is a few snaps. Action packed video incoming. Enjoy ya day guy's

Unfortunately guys this is Britain in 2018 and as sure as s*it stinks it's only going to get worse while pc liberals are running the show....

seems to be a lot of slagging youngsters off but its unfair to level it everywhere. i can only go on what i see around me but theirs plenty of good in the younger generations these days if you see past the blinkers. local boy moved in with his grandad when his gran died and did a top job. took him out for beers/shopping etc while kept on his normal early 20 lifestyle. as far as care homes go id imagine that most need proper care as people live longer and are more frail. now most have jobs and kids and unless they gave up work to care then they are just leaving them all day on their own w

Agree with you mate. I think a 3/4 grey 1/4 collie be perfect for him. Like you say, it won't need bags of stamina etc, and that bit of exta greyhound should make it easier to live with, plus help it catch more of what it does run when he goes for a walk/mooch. Again, like you've said, this topic has been covered a fair old amount of times, and I do actually like some of these reverse 3/4 breds, but alot of them just aren't fast enough. And I've said before, on almost all the places me and my lad go, unless you've got a very fast dog you'll be going home empty handed. Alot of the rabbits

Fair play mate , you are doing a good job . But if you weren’t as proactive, you would soon find a few moved in . I’m going to keep at them this year and see if it makes a difference in the shoots returns . I have always left them alone from now on because I like my terrier work , but I am sure I will still find some to ground in the forestry when the weather gets colder. I will let you know how I get on , early February when I do my report.

the more collie in a lurcher the less suitable they are as pets. They need work/mental stimulation. And lots of it.

Modern people have no honour any more, it's not taught in schools, or by parents to kids. I remember being read Aesop's Fables as a kid, I wonder if I would still have the same scruples if I was brought up today?

Nor me.., and I refused to watch Mayweather v McGregor on point of principle. People rightly say that boxing is in the entertainment industry, but fans are entertained by quality competitive sport, not by how much hype and razzmattaz goes into the build up. Mayweather fighting any MMA fighter is the equivalent of Rocky fighting Thunderlips in Rocky III. It should be a charity fund raiser, not lining that vulgar little cretin’s pockets any further.

I held off from replying to this thread cos I knew what was coming my little pal had to be helped over her final hurdle today, so know how you feel all the best phil, her great grandoughter started work this week showing great promise.

I can't see any oil underneath it so I reckon this is fake news.

Going start lamping pakis soon plenty them round me

Been experimenting with a different trap presentation on a difficult job. Lots of pets and children there so rodenticides are out and they have vetoed fenn mk4s. I knocked this box together. It can be fixed along a fence line or along a wall etc With a Victor vertically inside. A length of shock-leader is tied to the kill bar and threaded through a hole in the top lid. When the trap is sprung this will disappear, for at-a-glance monitoring. Only caught little uns so far, but it's early days.

Non ped whuppet

Yes 141 works, few more there for you lads. Personally find them very abusive

Thank you am over the moon going to get get a ribbing tomorrow about fainting at a first aid course , ( my head still hurts tho )

Not very much I would say from the appearance of the ones I,ve encountered,looked like they could,nt afford to wash and cloth them selves, and that's coming from a man that dresses himself from charity shops and army surplus ??

Never heard of this the other way round - Springer FT winner or champion with a little bit of cocker somewhere in the DNA? Personally I gave up registering my springer pups with the KC three generations ago and have never had any trouble selling (on the rare occasions I have had a litter) or their working ability, temperament or fitness. I know which dogs I'm happy breeding with as I've seen them work day in day out either picking up or beating. Dogs are there to put in a shift, not show off their limited (I've swept up behind them on a shoot day) ability, reliance on the whistle rather than i

I agree with a lot of what you say . I read an interesting article recently by an old timer who like us was not convinced of the value of Thermal / night vision . What he said rang true These new innovations can help someone get on terms with foxes , but should not replace field craft and knowledge of your quarry. Like with a sat nav , you should still be able to read a map . Put it together with listening out for a jay or a magpie or a cock pheasant, knowledge of wind direction, likely routes taken by Charlie . Technology should never replace skill , only enhance it .

Ok, good points but the intelligence has to be very good or all the latest kit will still miss something! I use my daytime walks and knowledge of the land to look for sign and listen to the pheasants. They will tell you if a fox is about. Wrens too will tell you if a predator is in thick cover. A fresh turd, a pheasants wing or two. Put a brick or stone on favorite runs, they love to mark them etc. So when I go for a "wonder" with a lamp I have a good idea where to hang around. I do fancy a trail camera though! U.?

your prob right mate, i was thinking what stealthy1 said regards hard labour , or birching them etc, but thinking a more about it really, they prob be to much out of there heads with all the shit they pump in there bodys , and not feel any pain that given to them. No there prob better off dead with bullet back of there head, or kept of the streets for good in nick till they off drugs for good.

I haven't a problem with said breeder yes he is a puppy farmer but had a couple of dogs off him think my last was out of luke or John or something and had no issues at all he was spot on.I but on the other hand after seeing mine a lad went and got 1 out of think it was called storming Norman and it was a fecking nut case mental on teeth or owt big.hope your lad enjoys his and atb to him with it good to hear that a few are still doing well think it was around 2002 I got my last and he went in 2013 was only 11 but got the big c was gutted like losing your best mate

I think it’s most likely that the perpetrators were robbing to feed a drug habit. The misery and knock on crime from addiction is the scourge of society. Smack heads don’t have a moral compass, all they do is focus on that next fix .

Ones weasely recognised, the others stoatly different

I think she will need a ladder to get in it

i am prob older than you at 66 , there all ways been scum about, but maybe people morals have got worse . When ever i read crime or similar crimes like these the 1st thing that jumps out of the page at me is ( COWARDS ) they wouldnt have the guts to do it to people there own age, more so if they were on there own , and even at my age they shit there selves if confronted with me, they know i kick the crap out of them .

A bullet in the head for whoever did it would be too good . Absolutely disgusting.

It's not all people these days I'm 28 and find this disgusting they need something more then a kick in scum little wankers knee cap the fuckers for a start

Beggars belief ...you really do have to be the lowest of the low ..

Sickening indeed mate - When they catch whoever did it, they should the little b*****ds in stocks, with a sign telling everyone what they did

This is about Literature getting a piece of the Japanese MMA business and trying to compete with Dana Whyte. He is going to get exposure in the Asian market. It will be another joke like the McGregor fight was. Just a publicity stunt. Never mind kicks etc it will probably be written into his contract that's it is not as competitive fight and he is not allowed to win! And people on here say AJ or Fury are robbing money! I won't be paying for this one.

And it's teeth were worn down like that. Old and experienced. Still they all make one mistake.

For anyone whos cats have gone missing....this might help.

I always find they return to vehicle if not injured but have found them after rewalking same ground the next day and giving a few hollers. If it's stormy they will lie up in a dry spot near earth that they drop in. My fathers bitch injured her toe from a fox bite and laid up and I spent 36 hours searching before I found her. Her kennel mate wouldn't leave her and She was too heavy for me to carry 2 miles across bad ground but her mate kept going back and nuzzling her and encouraged her to walk home and spent full night with her when she could of easily found her own way home. Bitch died sinc

This is Xena my friends bitch puppy out the litter today,8 weeks & 2 days old ?

Ah f**k, I had a shower last night! Spose I'll have to wait 6 months now before being eligible?

I like both but there is good and bad in both , been out with a young non ped or what I would call a grew out of Dave sleights stuff today on her first trip on the bunnies, held the Lurcher back for a few then took them in turns , she run the first one with her head up and missed. The second one bolted and she didn’t feck about with that a quick run and a good pick up, she didn’t miss much after that. Now can I ask Fred how old is the beddy x and what will she be bringing to the party , is she catching good numbers and impressing because the few lads I know with ped whippet dogs will no

do we have a lot of coyotes in the UK?

Lots of research has been done on this now but in the main this seems to have stood the test of time. (Beware lots of writing follows.)
