These are my greatgrandparents mule traces for working a plow. hand made.My grandfather used them as a young man.One of my prize possessions hanging in my barn. Sorry for bad pic.Only one I had. If it wasn't for mules who could plow all day and live on briars The south would have starved to death. Cheers to the donkey for producing what we needed

went into the local gunshop today, walked to the counter and asked if I could by a gun for shooting cans, the store owner looked at me perplexed and asked what kind of cans....... I said, AMERI.. CANS...... MEXI.. CANS,..... JAMAI... Cans, I got f****d out of the shop. The grumpy c**t

Sometimes it’s just nice to get out and watch the world go by, I’m just sat on the bails now watching the sun set, I’ll give it another half hour, if I see a fox I’ll have a go but it’s just nice to be here on my own on a warm evening ?

Was out on a nice stream last night, few Mayfly out.

Two crows ,Few old pics of my family ,my great great great gran with the shawl ,and my great grandparents having a cuppa on reading wagon they lived in . I met few Whartons over the yrs ,my family stayed mostly derby and lesta .

I was fishing with a friend and his family during the midsummer weekend in the north of Sweden. We got a few trouts during the late evenings then it cooled down, nice sunny weather 25c during daytime. We ate traditional pickled herring, grilled /barbecue meat on the fire , sausages, fresh trout, made coffee on the fire. The sun are never really going down during midsummer.

The issue is. If you sell pups cheap or give them to friends of friends. You run the very real risk of them going back up for sale. It’s a sad world. It’s an issue though as in reality - not everyone has a whole load of close, good mates who all want a pup at same time and of the type you keep.

It probably died of embarrassment after the prick that walks it showed what a complete cnut he is.

I don't think it's fair to compare the white hare and the brown hare. Totally different running ground and animal. I was lucky enough to be invited to the Cairngorms by Northernlite, and neither me or my bitch had ever seen a white hare or run that type of ground, but it was great to try something different, and definitely one to tick off the bucket list ! We did have a couple "pipe" into drainage, and we ran them on tracks, scree, burnt heather and frozen heather. It was great sport, just as running brown hares on arable is, but the rwo aren't comparable. Cheers.

I decided while the weather was good I’d have a walk around the sheep farm, when I got here the farmer was separating the lambs from the ewes in one field so I thought I’d give him a hand, these are the third batch to go to the mart, the noise the ewes make is heartbreaking but it will not be long before they get back to sheep business, filling their fat faces with grass, I’ve brought the .17 and the .243 with me so a bit of bunny bashing and then I’ll put the caller out for an hour

Old photo of my great uncul eddy and his juckel , imagine the story's he could tell .

Midnight fishing

Midsummer camp daytime.

It can be a bit challenging when the weather can go from this; To this; In a matter of minutes ! Cheers.

Sowed a few bits for the Craic.

I think some people are quite naive quite frankly but there we are .

Well, on the subject of paying respects..... I am just back from my local town. A local lad and Guard Detective was shot the other night by a nutcase who wrestled his gun from him and emptied the clip of 15 rounds, hitting the guard 6 times. A terrible, terrible event and you can actually feel the sadness in the air locally. I play football with a lot of these guard lads and I feel for them, I really do. They just drove his coffin through the town in a motorcade and the whole town came out to show respect, a couple of thousand folks of all ages, every single shop keepe

Last years but hey good eating.

To be fair at least people knew what they were getting from Hancock, they knew the parents weren’t worked and he was honest about how the pups were bred. The worst ones are the men that rip lads off & tell lies about dogs that never miss, or sell pups with fake breeding.

It was started about the Flatpack Putanges. I only found out that they were making them a few days ago. But as you mention it, my brother-in-law does sell exactly the same type of trap as the other guy who claims to be the only UK seller of them. ?

Running free, having escaped from Whipsnade Zoo a few days before ?.

reaching 95 and getting shot by a jealous husband would be better.

I lost a bit of form recently so decided to use the gzk .66 that short straw sent me. I had a load of 7mm bearings that you get as freebies from balls of steel not doing anything so used them...WOW... the accuracy was unreal, spent a day just shooting bottle tops out to 20 yrd to get my confidence and form back . Yep it worked, cheers shortstraw ??.

A farm I sometimes go to in my job has 2 llamas roaming about with the sheep, farmer reckoned they kept foxes and badgers away

I had a donkey, friendly little Jack.When he matured he was a cnt,it killed my staffy and a neighbour's bull terrier and then one night killed about twelve of my sheep.I was just in time to witness it kill the last one with one well placed kick,smashing it's skull.A guy bought him,castrated him and he ended up at carnivals giving kids rides with never a problem.

IWW has had a kick in the bollocks off life recently (as we all do ) he knows he's got help and good vibes in bucket fulls off this site ,he won't want any one tip toeing round him .

white lives matter ???

No ones crying mate,a bit of compassion for a long standing,genuine member of a guy whos struggling dont take much.after all its the general section,and a club so to speak.why do people join clubs.??you seem to be the guy whos struggling,never off here,jumping on every topic,must be bored out your soul.

Dry your eyes mate, it was only a joke but if everything to do with IWW has to involve weeping and wailing and talking to the bloke likes he’s 2 years old then you are right, I’d best shut up and leave it to others ?

We still have the carts used by the horses and donkeys, by my grandparents. With the wooden wheels, with the steel band. What saved them this long was their were painted with lead paint. Atb j

Here in Dixie donkeys are kept in fields with goats or sheep.They will instinctively rundown and kill coyotes.Thinking back that's the only time they seemed happy?

Boiling it down to a minimum, we had basically three types of running dogs; the smaller greyhound type that ran hares and rabbits; the larger type that ran deer; and the big buggers that ran wolves ! Obviously, when wolves went extinct in Britain, it was pointless keeping and feeding huge hounds, so they died out. Deerhounds ran and killed or bailed deer, but then there was the invention of the gun, and Deerhounds changed to be dogs that tracked and held or killed wounded deer. The origional Deerhounds then had scent hound added, amongst other breeds. The greyhou

I passed my wife a glue stick instead of her ChapStick, now she's not speaking to me........

when I was a very small boy we used to go to Cheshire, and stop with my grannys brother uncle Herbert Wharton they were travellers, and he always had a rough dog about him but died when I was young, would of liked to spend time with him now, we walked miles along the canal but cant remember much to be fair, no one to ask now sadly.
