The law states they mustn't use a locator, our law says we must, it's not about who's doing it right, it's about jumping through hoops to hang on to what we've got left. Given a choice I'd always always use a locator, you'd have to be retarded not to, stop kissing arse and use common sense, the terriers safety comes first. From what I hear terrier work in France is just about hanging on by it's fingernails, sadly I'm old enough to have been around when terrier work saw its demise in the UK, it had more to do with video recorders than locator systems.

Nearly done work started on Wednesday night

Everybody meet CLYDE bred out of my old dog TROY

Three in the truck , but not from the area where I’ve been having problems. These were off the stubbles. The second night after the cut is usually more productive I find . Went into the first field and saw Charlie, they haven’t bailed the straw yet so it’s all in rows . Charlie was behind a row of straw and I couldn’t see him properly , moved the mule to get level with him but when I got the gun up he’d gone . Whizzed around the other side of the hedge and just as I suspected there he was , side on 100 meters or so , and number one was down . The next one was a fox that I knew was about but

Shot this Buck yesterday, had the bitch by my side just incase I needed her but he dropped on the spot so no tracking was needed.

Nice bit of bbq food on offer had a load up and a try of the hot wings made with reaper juice the pork ribs wer Delish and the chilli Connolly was the best hot dog I’ve eaten in the U.K had a try of some other bits proper tasty ? even met dolly Parton . , as usual the drinks wer a rip off so headed into town for a few beers ?

Fukcing shivery thin skinned useless fukcing creatures .......

A couple of photos that do not do this place justice from my house

I'd like to say yes but deep down no. I wouldn't wonna risk my dogs life especially when I know the technology is there to use. As had been said before its all about the welfare of your dogs. If you lost a dog knowing you had the means to save it it would be a sad day!

Or perhaps the French aren't dull enough to put marked up dogs on the net ! Why not have the best of both worlds, use a collar but have a time limit before it's deemed necessary to locate it for a rescue ? That way you could keep your tradition alive and have the best interest of the terrier at heart too.

BONNIE This is the other pups I kept back out of Troy

Slowly gaining in yards, should make a nice wee net when finished.

There is no such thing as poor nowadays in Britain. There was poverty when I was young . But not anymore. If people are hungry now it’s because they can’t manage money properly. We are all caught in a rat race , created by the global corporations . Where we have to have the latest car , phone training shoes TV , foreign holidays. It’s all bollocks . You can be happy with very little . All you need is family, health and food on the table and a roof over your head . I feel genuinely sorry for people “waiting “ to win the lottery. The fact is the chances of winning are minuscule .

I don’t do the lottery. I’m happy with my lot . Money doesn’t buy happiness. Some of the richest people I know are also the most miserable!

a bit of both plenty of terriers about doing den work and a lot of spotlighting and running dogs as well, fox a not native here and are classed as vermin, we have a lot of problems with them at lambing time. Numbers are very high we have approx. 50,000 Ha of state park and small hobby farmer/greenies adjoining and or near us so we have a big number travelling through. So it is all out control no letting them run. A $10 bounty is in place here so a lot of road runner shooters about as well. We hunt the place with teams through the creeks and swamps and I have JR and a couple of Borde

Thought about it before . I'd make sure I 1000000% had the money before I said anything. Beyond buying things and going places the best thing I would get from winning would be the look on my Mrs face when I told her their would be no more worrying about money. I'd get my dad to the worlds best chiropractor and try get his gammy back and ankle fixed so he could be mobile to enjoy the money. I'd also like to take my boy , my dad ,my grandad to Africa for 6 weeks. When I was young my dad built a 2 story extension on his house for my grandparents to live in and my grandad took him to Africa fo

Some nice cheap places in the wilds of south Wales This is my brother's father in law's retirment pad. Bought the woodland years ago and built this shack. Tend to the woodland and traps in there aswell. Splits his time between here and family home . Inside is gorgeous. Small and compact but idyllic. Old .22 air rifle in the little kitchen area and a nice tight bedroom.

7 Months - non ped

He looked at him funny so he popped a cap in his ass??

Nice shooting mate. I had two last night, that makes 8 this week. First One was a vixen came to the caller lovely through a cover crop and at 100 yards I turned the caller off and she presented broadside and down she tumbled. Number two was a 285 yard shot. I saw it mooching in the middle of a 50 acre field but the wind was blowing straight towards him but I was still a long long way off him at this point and he was unaware of my presence. So I turned round went out of the field drove all the way around him having a belt of trees and cover crop between me and him. I popped up behind him this t

22 years in the army and I was only home a handful of times over Christmas missed most of their birthdays and my missus pretty much brought the kids up on her own but it's a choice you make and live with ... one thing I have said recently is that when I become a grandfather I will spoil each and every one of them .......

Front of my house this afternoon ......

I used too go 4/10 wks a time when my first was born,home for a few days back to it.... he was 2lb 7 ozs and in a baby unit for first few months, used to kill me mate to be fair, leaving them, alot of stress on the mrs and our relationship , my daughter was born 2 yrs later, lasted a few months and jacked, you miss the money but no amount can make up for lost time with them when they are that young, they change daily and i do regret missing out on my eldest, something ive tried to make for up ever since with the other2?thats why hes like my shadow?your lads a little older but its still hard,

We have had a small amount of rain here today but its dry a few inches down... I have had my garden sink in places where i stuck gravel .. i kept hearing noises on the gravel as the doors open pretty much 24/7 & i thought it might have been a hedgehog i kept going & having a look & nowt there .... then it occured to me that part of the gravel had fallen beneath the bottom of the fence & my only conclusion is the earths like powder so its not supporting the weight a bit like a landslide but a mini one?

I applied for my fac a few months back and thought I might as well tag a sgc on to the application .. as I shoot a dairy farm for rats and ferrels, the owner docent want me shooting them off the roof and clogging all the gutters up so I cant get near them!! until now.. so I bought a semi so I could get a sound mod as to not create to much noise for the cattle. then I realised I like using shotguns so I bought an o/u off a mate at work, I like the idea of more traditional.. so today works gone t1ts up and ive got a few days off so I decided to have a crack at the woo

true mate , i know it sounds daft but i like my place its payed for , thats not to bad , yeh it just my son i try to help him , he got 12 month old little girl now, so anything to help them really

First of all I’d sort my nan an grandad out before my self,I’d get more joy out of that than anything ??

does not matter how much money I have ,id give it to my family like I always do I can have 5 k in the bank I very rarely spend out on my self apart from guns and birds of prey,if some one in the family has fallen on hard times I help them out I never ask for it back ive always been soft with money with the family so the lotto would not change me the missus would still hold the purse maybe a different house and gadgets apart from that im not interested,any way I don't put the fecker on she does

Two young little owls

There is no we, that's why this country is fukced, the government aren't going to lose any sleep over a few working class white people losing their lives, why would they, we're only here to pay their way

4 week old pup-I think he's thrown back to the glen.

Everything to do with it, as a nation we should have made a stand instead of holding lighters and posting stuff on Facebook.

Purpose-bred, non-ped race whippets, are possibly the most aesthetically pleasing of all the smaller types of running dog... I've used several over the years,..they always give 100%...

Carrying an airgun like that could get some kids into serious trouble,plod used to catch us often with our BSA meteors and mercurys out of the gun-bag and just tell us to f**k off home,i wouldn't like to think about a modern day scenario with a couple of lads spotted carrying those.

Nice one si great result mate, hope your not thinking of leaving us poofy air gunners now youv got your fac.

Few from other night Rogue and Spud Maggie the teckel Maggie PUD

You can look at it another way that due to idiots f***ing things up for everyone this side of the channel by total unprofesionalism......then look at the profesional way they go about their business on their side. It’s maybe the same idiots trying to tell them they are doing it wrong hmmm maybe swap those tongs for a bullx

Not sure how it works in Florida but here in Utah you're pretty much f*ck*d if you're trying to play civil rights and 'felony' in the same card. Our castle doctrine is among the strongest in the nation to the point that if you break into my house and die committing the felony I can sue your family to clean the blood from my carpet. Most of the other states see a CCW holder stopping an active shooter as civic duty.

My monkey would never give me up.

I look at it this way, badger digging is banned in England Ireland Scotland Wales and N.ireland and is legal in France, so who's doing it the right way?

ONLY ONE MORE WEEK TO WAIT

They all don't come like a painting u get the good bad and ugly in each line.just my opinion

That’s all well and good if your culling everything you hunt, but if your releasing game like people did this side of the channel, the stand off dogs will leave you with plenty of holes and not one of them successful. I respect a dog which doesn’t take any punishment but I also have respect for a dog that won’t move no matter what is thrown at them. I have even more respect for an animal that outsmarts the dog. Talking about those injuries on this thread is a bit careless as they can be sustained with legal fox hunting and doesn’t indicate that the dog has worked Badger.

I’ve got one now that is causing me problems , I think it’s a cub . It waits until I’ve done my afternoon feed and then chases the poults on the feed rides . Every time I come back he hears me and is off . I’ve been out the last two nights and have seen two the first night and shot one , and nothing of it last night , although I shot two the other side of the shoot . I’m out again in a minute . If I don’t get him tonight I’m going to cover every track in the area with snares . I love a snare for foxes like this . Checking them in the morning is like a kid coming downstairs on xmas morning to s

There's a complete failure here by people to understand how others hunt, regard the hunt and the hunted animal. At the end of a Stag hunt in Ireland (before it was banned)the Stag was ropped up and taken back to a park. At the end of a Stag hunt in UK (before it was banned) the Stag was shot as that was the most humane thing to do. In France they kill it with a sword "because that's a more honourable death and the huntsman should be intimate with the stag when taking its life, to shoot it would be a dishonour" They aren't obsessed with humane this or t

The way you hunt in France is correct for you as your still allowed to hunt legally and sounders tend to be a bit softer so not as wreck less below and it's a skill that everybody should be able to do in case locators fail, when we were young we couldn't afford locators so we had to use our ears too and found the dogs and ferrets every time we started with ferrets so by the time we moved onto dogs we had a good skill set developed that didn't let ya down but luckily enough nothing was too deep

I find it terrible how you can’t take an opinion without spitting your dummy out. It’s absolutely brilliant how you can still hunt the way you hunt but it doesn’t mean your way is the most effective, personally I don’t agree with tongs, which you use, doesn’t mean I’m right or your right, different cultures and different rates of progression I suppose.

I think he will follow in my footsteps shane, hes a good little lad, doesnt moan about the cold none of this 'when we going home shit' or trekking miles when out for 6/8hrs on the lamp, he loves his terriers and lurchers and not a bad little shot with an airgun and catty, keen fisherman had barbel to 11 lb. Got him a lurcher pup so he will be out with us this season ? ?
