I’m thinking of a career change ,and going into ant nest removal it looks pretty easy?

Had a few hours out today bolting to the dogs, whippets done well to catch a few and the terrier came along for to mark and stand guard,

He’s fully gundog trained,he used to be broke to deer and could stop him on anything but lamping a lot etc kinda changed that. the pic was taken after the picking up team had worked the island but he stuck his nose up and went into the water,the guy with the spaniels said it was clear but frank doesn’t mismark and came back with a hen bird to the guys disgust. not all lurchers can be trained this way as I found with my new pup but the ones that can are worth there weight and certainly change some misconceptions

?

He's bouncing to go another month and maybe

Nothing killed, but what a cracking morning for a walk... Straight out the backdoor and away, dogs are starting to shape up, done a bit of lamping and quick ferreting trips, looking forward to the hedges dying back and getting at it properly!

My wee dog, what I’d call a fell type or a patterdale. Bays away steady.

Been a while since this lads been out he put a good shift in mind ?

It is still early days yet, all the spaniels and other types are, as you say, like coiled springs...? As for retrieving, perfectly to hand,...this is a difficult attribute to maintain with running dogs,..more so if you work them really hard. I always strive for a steady retrieve, but invariably, as the years go on and the work-load increases,..most dogs get sloppy. It doesn't matter to me,..it used to, but I have mellowed a tad,...life really is too short to ruin what is left, in that obsessional search for perfection...?

Just a gentle read and a wee stocking filler for Xmas...? www.chalkwarren.co.uk

So do i and some drives he don't want us near because there shooting the next day but they have one drive they have shot twice in one day before so disturbance of a drive sometimes makes a difference and sometimes it don't ,but when it's a mans living on the line that has been disrupted in the past then you do what the keepers say if you want to keep your permission(well i do anyway).A fickle bunch are keepers but if you have an idea of how birds are then you will sort of understand what's allowed and whats not at certain times.

Yes ?.... its about time i got a chance to be the poor little victim for a change....yes i am being bullied,its not fair,can i start searching for things to be offended about now....call me names i,ll call you names,give as good as i get,munch bunch massive massive ? Look its simple man rules....ive never said anything to Max i wouldnt say face to face.....he rarely if ever says anything to me that he WOULD say face to face....and at the end of the day all men hold themself to their own standards....ive just rarely seen someone with as low standards as he has,but hey we,re all made differ

it is a shame when people start getting riled with a dog for being les than perfect, I don't take my lurcher shooting but run a gang of cockers and all I do is get them bang on the whistle, and they learn the rest on the job in the pack so to speak I encourage them to jump up with the retrieve to save my back, but that's about it just let them work and they don't miss much as been said life is far to short.

Cooked up an elk roast today fckn well worth it even tho it hadnt been hung for a long time, she sure was tender not overly gamey either taste wise me thinks i am going to enjoy this one. dropped off 36lbs of elk trim at the butchers so in a week or so I should be getting 50lbs of honey garlic smoked sausage

What could be satisfying about inviting two sanctimonious shitehawks into your home so they can have a noisy about and judge you and your animals as they see fit.

A nice day out then mate am going to start me pup on the lamp tomorrow night hopefully she will do well

Can't remember mate over 20 years ago. Just knocking up a quiche for tonight, but christ should see the state of the kitchen looks like a bomb hit it Lol. Cheers Arry

What was for dinner Arry?

Its ok mate it doesnt really matter theres all sorts of weirdos out there....theres a number of peoples posts i look out for on here over the years as they seem like well balanced and interesting individuals,one of which is Astanley ( its not a crush or anything i just quite like the chap in the correct internet kind of way )......he said something the other day that registered with me,something about how some people are able to look themself in the mirror after some of the things they say.......and all anger/bullshit aside.....that is ultimately all any of us needs to be able to do....and per

One Wednesday evening about 20 years ago I was at the cooker cooking an evening meal for the family when somebody stated banging hell out of my front door. So said to my youngest lad who was out 14 to see what the hell that was about and answer the door. Two rspca officers burst in shouting you're liable for a 10,000 pound fine and pointing a finger at me. So switched the cooker of and said in no uncertain terms what the f**k is this all about, did you and your son go shooting on such and success farm on Saturday? Yes we were shooting crows and rooks for the farmer, what is wrong with that? No

Spent a few minuets with the pup today to see what she would be like retrieving ... she switched onto it pretty quick fair play ....

Macron is the one who will most likely pull the plug on the UK. France isn't as dependent on the UK as is Germany, Holland, Italy, Spain and the countries who receive subsidies and he has plans to change the EU that are not being discussed because Brexit is dominating proceedings. Macron only got in by default and he is highly unpopular in France and may not get in next time. That is one reason he vetoed the expansion plans that would allow Albania and Nth Macedonia into the EU. Macron is on borrowed time and his plans to stride the big stage as Merkel leaves are being held up. He wants the UK

Wish somebody would punch the lights out on that gobby twat that's hollering all the time on the News at Westminster. Why they have to do interviews there I don't know. Its not like the BBC and Sky bias is it? Cheers Arry

John Bercow so impartial. The scumy little c**t. Cheers Arry

You boys are right... Once you have had the dogs on a warren for bolters, or maybe flushing gear to the gun, it is difficult to, calm things back down,..and get them steady them again... I quite enjoy picking-up on the various local shoots,...now I am retired,.. it makes for a good day out

Lol Atb j

I didn't mean it and it was a very shit thing for me to say! I was just hurt and angry by some of the replys that made me feel even worse than I already did! That day when I had to come home and leave my ferret out not knowing her fate was horrendous, If I could have dug 16ft I would have been doing it, not asking for advice on here, It was a new place to ferret and I want be repeating it.

Signed..... cause you kept telling me too!! Lol

Every year I get invited to beat on a commercial shoot but over the last 4 years or so I’ve always made my excuses because a load of rich nobs shooting because they can doesn’t sit well with me now, I much prefer the working mans shoot even though some are just there for the shooting nothing ever goes to waste

Don't see why folks let it bother them... If you don't have the permission to be there..... And get tugged... Just be polite... And move on.... Coming a cnut, making threats only makes things worse ime....

I can see where your coming from mate and I fully respect your opinion, but i think its just a bit of fun and the biggest farce in boxing is some of these point scores that get given. Dressing up as batman was just for a laugh im sure. Dont know what people want from fury he can only fight the people they put in front. Everyone has a off day in the ring look at aj and ruiz

started off at my mates place were we stuck the sleeper semi cab.i cow called for hrs and nothing. come mid day i was pissed off so off to the next spot. nice secluded alfalfa pasture.set up the caller 15 mins and nothing again. so drove north to an area were i seen elk in standing wheat field and the farmer said i could hunt there. he had combined the field saturday and when i drove by i didnt see any elk. so i went around the back of there and took a gander around,found a cow and calf prints but they disappeared in the track. there was more crown land (a

Couple of years back I had an American fella out as a favour to a pal of mine , we had our first fallow down by 7am , our second by 8,30 and his third by 9.15 ..gralloched and in the chiller by 11 am ..he could barely eat breakfast he was that excited , given he was telling everyone in the cafe in great detail all about our “hunting “trip , assuming everyone in there was keen on hunting as we were , he completely missed the tut tuts , frowns & head shaking of several woman .. Late after noon we was sat up in a seat where he got number four , he could have got five but was still realay

the land we have is full of rabbit there is to much for 3 of us to cover a couple of pics from last season we ferret/lamp/shoot and fly goshawks for every one we get 2 more seem to appear
