I’ve posted updates on this over the years. Here’s some more for those interested...

Mostly using, a wee Collie cur,..we never catch much, but, we have a good laugh trying...

First light is always a good time , just getting up at mad hours is par for the course and has to be done , and with the evenings drawing in so quick, dawn is probably the better opportunity, just take plenty of tea mate , lol and if there’s a invite coming up , as long as my diesel is payed, there’s a stake dinner on the table , loads of beer , a comfortable bed , a 100 pound penalty is they don’t show , I might just consider coming up for the weekend only if you ask me very nicely, lol ?? atb stav

Young crazy horse......

That thrust vectoring nozzle makes it look like something straight out of Transformers!

Old Billy likes the mali or GSD hybrids, after all there needs to be one intelligent member in every working pair. ?

I think most people on here are pretty neutral we’re it comes to crosses these days most of us see positives in most crosses an pic a cross that suits our own needs an own styles or forms of running them

Glad she's back. IMO you didn't give up you kept going back and the reward was getting her back. I Know a lot of guys don't agree, but a 16' dig is a dangerous dig if you have no groundwork experience. Atb Cheers Arry

I don't know there sandy. Bill, and plenty of others on here, look down their noses at collie crosses, no guts, too wimpy, not enough drive, not tough enough etc etc. But they sure are intelligent, maybe too much dog for him/them. Seen it several times, collie crosses aint soft, and that innate intelligence will suss out a 'soft touch' pretty quickly. Hmmm ? food for thought

Fu@k that, I feed em with the shells on, it's cheaper.?

Be running my old trusty again. After a bad injury last year he didn’t get a full season. Had a good few outings this month and he seems back to normal. Have been getting the pup out a fair bit but she will only be bushing and ferreting this season

Well finally got married on Saturday to our Lass after 19 years 11 grand down now but what a great day we had start saving for a new house now so looks like I’ll be working some hours for a while haha atb longers01

I have a place that I have shot rabbits and foxes on for many years now, I had a call from the owner asking if I would come and have a look at a little bit of woodland he has planted as the deer are wrecking the trees, now I’m here and it would appear to be roe knocking them over so he has told me to take what I can ( very nice of him ) shame there’s very little time for the bucks, I may have to see if anyone else wants a go, it would be a shame to waste this opportunity, I’m going to have a sit out to see what’s about but I think this could be a first light thing ?

Some information here

in that case i have these two... i use them on fox.

I've done some things in my time but I guarantee..... I would smash the fuuck out of that at 4am on a Saturday morning ?

young dog going well

These are my two whippets mother and daughter the pup is 8 mouth old now and is 18.5tts her recall and retrieve are coming along great am going to start her on the lamp at the end of the month

I always remember Nan and Mum moaning if the pudding stuck and split when they were getting it out ........ Beginners luck was definitely on my side today - it came out perfectly And, it tastes and smells exactly as I remember - I do like this sort of simple old fashioned grub

Young dog just over 12 months showing good signs

F**king lovely

YOUNG TEAM! ? Collie x greyhound (2nd season) Collie x grey x whippet (1st season) few rabbits off each of them off 2 short outings so far, good start, atb ?

The older one is a champ for foxes and roe.

I have been using these cameras for a good few years now and i have found that they save me a lot of needless waiting. They are prone to dampness if used extensively in wet weather but i use a cover for mine made from old milk jugs. If you put them where the public have access to it may be prudent to paint them or cover them with some of that cammo tape of ebay.

Have had most makes of soft walking boots berghause, merril, high tech, north face etc and the best ones by far were called scarpa I think, got them from go outdoors, I tend to kill a pair most winters but they lasted me nearly 3 years, as a quick aside, how the f**k can anyone make a pair of walking boots last 10 years especially hi techs unless you walk on your hands ???

Its gone bit quiet on the Let's See Your River catches forum,possibly due to the weather. Anyway ,a friend and I dressed defensively and braved the heavy rain on Sunday . According to my accomplice my over-large ex-army poncho made me look like a giant camouflaged condom but at least I was dry. We caught plenty of grayling,roach,chub and even a couple of bream-it was amost a bite a cast- but nothing huge. Then I hit a patch of quality gudgeon! One of which morphed from being a plucky wriggler on the line into a heavy toothy dead-weight when a pike took a fancy to an easy meal.

so would i.......bunch a grown men growling at each other over a ten bob ribbon

I thought it was like a cream pie but at night

Are you for real ? Your gob has just done more damage than a dozen rifles.

same 1 dog for me this year..he's 2yr older and wiser.(i hope lol)

A bit of ferreting for him and lamping back end.

Never mind. Cheers, D.

11 month old 14th generation bred Collie/Greyhound

Best news ever! Girl at stables checked where I left her box and she was sat at the side of it waiting! No collar but just so happy to get her back. Best feeling in the world!

Here’s my two, the big dogs saluki bull grey and the young one saluki bull grey x Wheaton bull grey. Pup will be 12 months next month and showing good signs. Have to hold the little fecker back as he’s very confident so I just give him a little at a time but what he has done he’s shown good signs. Got himself in a few situations And worked them out well for a youngun. Big dogs always a pleasure to take out to be honest, yes he has faults but nothing major and he’s a 100 percent tryer who loves the graft. Loves a challenge

I was asked to take care of a chicken botherer, so not having the time to sit and wait for it I thought I’d put the camera out and bait up, it didn’t take long, in fact an hour after putting the camera out I got my first hit, it was 2 days later before I had time to check the camera and I’d made the decision that last night would be the night as the ginger seemed to be hanging around for much of the night, firstly showing up on the camera around 8pm and then on and off up until about 3:30am, getting there for 7:30pm it was little over 30 minutes before it turned up, no need for calling or shou

I love having a go at the geese, I’d fling a sickie for that, I’ve got a meeting tonight with a bloke I do a bit of shooting for, he wants to show me around a new woodland he has planted because the deer are wrecking it but he has duck ponds on this place and a lot of geese so they will be getting a mention

Ffs sd.. we don’t have extravagant stuff like that! north Yorkshire is more spit n sawdust?

£9! Bloomin Eck. I just use to get the old crusty tube of KY from cupboard side 'o bed ?

Cheers mate it took me that long to no she was the one pal she my best mate never mind my wife mate

Im running this lad Wheaton bull greyhound atb longers01

How can you justify or condemn anything without knowing the facts? General comments... Well keepered land will give booming game populations and the single most important factor in hare populations has been proven to be keepering, not how they are killed. Also, there is several hundred quids worth of game laying there, I doubt it was wasted. Rifling hares may be disgusting to coursing men, just like dogging deer may be disgusting to a stalker. I think a bit of humility would go a long way. Better yet, invest in a chunk of land and keeper it to the benefit of the wildlife and harvest

so I kept a log on the cost of rearing these pups just out of interest,to see what the expense might be ,and thought you might find it interesting..this includes the bitches care as much as the pups also so here goes,from day 1 Stud dog :200 euros vet checks:120 euros Lamblac:16 euros ox hearts (22) :88 euros Lidl beef mince (45 packets):160 euros home made stews,barley,beef,veg etc ,etc: 20 euros 2.5 kg bags of beef mince (8):24 euros tripe,(1 bag of 5 kg):6 euros 7 trays of chicken mince:26 euros worming bottle:22 euros, and 6 and

Some keepers i know do a hare shoot and hundreds are shot,just like they allways have been on big shooting estates and the hare numbers keep coming back up as they will on a well run shooting estate where vermin control is carried out as it removes predators.A hare drive will bring in a good days money and that in turns pays for keepers,traps etc so it makes the estate work.It does sicken me to see hundreds of hares laid out just for sport but then so does seeing hundreds of game birds laid out and them being worth feck all as the money was in the shot taken.There are things in other field sp

Really like this little bitch no hassle at all.
