Cheers, D.

I'd like to restock some land with hares, but I'd rather net them then relocate, but I reckon any opportunity to put something back would be a good thing, whether captive bred or otherwise

A bit like this one !

Hare is lovely to eat one of my favourites. Slow cooked and falling apart. Fresh it don't need no hanging

They go to ground all the time when under pressure, also seen hares swim across fast flowing rivers before to get away, if they go to ground I think they should be left even if you could reach them to pull them out

Todays instalment Firecracker quarter pounder cheeseburgers Diced and fried potatoes Obligatory titanium spork

Wouldn't bother mate find your self a pup out parents doing what you want , going have loads people messaging you selling pye line breed dogs when truth is pie been dead that long his blood his blood would hardly be worth mentioning , there wasn't many genuine pie bred dogs around couple years back chances of you getting anything with his blood in close enough to make a difference are slim , don't worry bout the name worry about what it parents doing

Hare meat is delicious,I've eaten lots,the wife cooks them and their done proper,slow cooker all the way ,red wine gravy and surrounded by veg,lordy...lordy ....lordy

Lad on here called p***y poacher put post up years ago where he’d had 3/3 hare but admitted the third one the dog put it to ground which he pulled out ,, it stuck in my mind as something like that usually do as I myself thought that it deserved to let run for another day , each to there own

Cheers, D.

I've been lucky enough to be taken pig hunting in 2 countries, I have chased pigs, stuck pigs and carried pigs but I don't believe I have anywhere near enough experience to have an opinion on pig dogs. I was basically a tourist. How anyone can have such an entrenched opinion based purely on what they've read on the Internet and never actually done amazes me.

a couple of images of my russell/ plummer. for interest

Quick run around at the skip yard, dogs got 7 between them, great fun for them!

A nice bit of fillet steak from the butchers for tonight, in a surf n' turf kind of dinner I actually got the missus to eat hers cooked like mine and, she liked it

Theres to much pet Breeding now for all these colours we need to keep breeding good working ferrets to good working ferrets

I doubt it - she looks well into her 60s

Christ y'all sometimes I think my old man done jumped off the deep end . Apparently his new thing is trying to basically tame a sounder of smaller wild hogs into brush clearing work and tilling ? Basically he's been throwing deer corn and old sweet feed out into brush he wants gone and in places he wants tilled up. The hogs go in and do there thing while trying to get the food. And its actually been working really well . Well... It's gotten to the point they figured out if they follow the cows there's usually food and since dad never shoots them.....well he sent me this this morning

in rendered down beef fat that has hung for a few weeks with a few tomatoes and a fried egg or two Why the hell would ye need to hang a fried egg and tomatoes with beef fat for a few weeks......

Her younger brother also out of Rocco now 6 still going strong ,ice x storm gear rocks ?

Out of Rocco she was 2 there now 9 year old loving life keeping the chickens safe lol

It just started when I left, the up side to the rain is it keeps the fly’s down, they were mental up there today I put a couple of drinking butts out today along with the camera, I normally do this in the spring but never got around to it this year, everything uses them so it’s a cracking way to see what’s about, there was a couple of fallow doe’s walking the edge of the oats about 20 yards from where I’ve set the camera so fingers crossed that a buck puts in an appearance

More burning, it's never ending

Did you take the pic as you fell how many you have ffs

In this part of Leicestershire their has been Black Rabbits since the 1930s when they were first introduced by Farmers to improve the quality off the Fur and increase the meat yield, Black Rex does were used the first season and Bucks were released the following year , the Does that were used were picked out because they were aggressive which is the opposite of what you need in tame Rabbits. I have caught Black Rabbits in this area for over 60 years and never saw a Black one with Mixi though i have caught them with it in other places. The owner of this farm caught 300 Rabbits a Week f

So basically every trait you don’t want in a working ferret, il stick to my albinos,

No ones going to fool you with those skills in observation mate, FairPlay at that rate of detection I recon you will be questioning Covid in around 10 years,

I've had some fecking pigs in me time ill tell u that much

Might I ask how pigs you have killed or ran dogs with ? I'm just going to comment on one major mistake I see wrong with your post ,that is dog usually gets killed before they know they are headed for the happy hunting ground ,now its not fact that a dog gets killed with the first or second blow or even the 9th ,the time line they get killed at can be anytime ,from the start of the attack to the end ,bad luck can play a part in all this . You have given a example of the great Dane ,you would need to search for a very long time to find a Great Dane or even a Dane x because kiwi hunters don't r

Then you get the odd one like this

Earist b*****d

Bray It with a big stick whenever it whinges ! Just joking, mate. Keep them tired out and well fed seems to do the trick ? Cheers.

In my eyes there's two big problems, accountants and the entitlement culture. Accountants get hold of what started off as a good idea, carbon offsetting, environmental subsidy schemes, green energy etc, and immediately pick it to pieces and find loopholes in it to either make or save money. It becomes a tick box exercise and the positive gain it was supposed to achieve is lost. The entitlement culture means people don't appreciate food and aren't willing to pay what it costs to produce in a more sustainable way. They believe its their due, along with latest phones, massive TV, new ca

The whole thing is a con. Britain is responsible for 1.1% of global emissions, if we went carbon neutral tomorrow we would make fck all difference. Yet are we putting any pressure on global polluters to stop it? Are we fck. We are filling their order books! We have destroyed our steel industry because its dirty and uses lots of energy, are we using less steel ?. No we just import it from the other side of the world! We are taking petrol and diesel cars of the road. When we passed our tests we drove 250 quid bangers and learnt to keep em going by visiting the scrap yard. Now when a

Well what can I say after 12/13 years I had to put my wee mate down heart broken is an understatement . Old age just caught up to him as it does with them all. He was a one in a life time dog and I know il never get another like him an compare every dog il ever own to him . My son started hunting with him , killed his first fox with him , started hunting with him round cover He was a wee nipper when we got him . He set and watched every YouTube video of him last night in pieces . Memories we both have will last a life time thank you Flick rest easy wee son you did me proud ?❤

That film has pissed me off no end. I've watched it a couple of times thinking maybe I missed something etc. Nah! The ending is wank!

I read somewhere one time that a dog is the only animal who will starve by his owners side instead of leaving.This has always stuck with me.

great reasoning mate . I think that resonance possibly shows itself in the retalicant nature Of some of the most primal of dogs . Look at the average saluki , I actually hate it when people call them thick , they certainly can test you ?? but I think they have evolved slowly , glacially , they aren’t the sit stay move find bite snap hold companion that a springer or a mallnois are . But they have changed imperceptibly from biblical times accompanying nomads and sheiks alike into the hunting field . does that imbued sense of economy , that drifting away stares of somet

I watched the Russian one on fox out a 100 you get one that didn’t try hiding or going at you then they took these and line bred them after so many generations they Was tame and with the tameness they started changing colour

Was going say they can’t be for the table there boggin to eat

You’ve never hunted pigs have you ? Trust me when the dog didn’t accidentally run into a tree, the pig didn’t accidentally fall over on top of the dog. It got in front of the pig and took hold and the pig manouvered itself into a position where it could repeatedly slam the dog that was attached to it into the tree until the dog was pulp. To me a dog that is game in a hubting sense is one that will go head first into a bigger, harder oponant that wants to kill it, without a thought to self preservation.

I wouldn’t worry too much mate, great answer, but you’re arguing with folk on THL. There is a long pedigree on here of people being experts on hunting a quarry they have never hunted, with dogs they have never seen, in a country they’ve never been to. They are right though, for deffo.

You can’t beat an 80s montage scene, they are simply a guilty pleasure !
