Rump Steak with peppercorn sauce. Cheers Arry

Hmm,..personaly,...I like to read about any hunting man's adventures,...my own days in the sun are well and truly over,..so it's always good to hear what other enthusiasts are up to... I've been around the minor field sports scene for decades, and one only has to look at the scarcity of contributors on the various hunting related Internet Forums, and indeed in the sporting press, to realise that our chosen way of life is becoming smaller and smaller... I think that I had the best of it....

I'm going back to the kite flying forum. I can't deal with this shiit

Morty, a filth generation lamper he tracked 7 cwd and a munty single handed during the day in January. Not to bad considering it was his first daytime jaunt out.

Not many people still at it regularly with dogs these days, personally I think it’s a good thing, loads of people with very few brain cells being in to working dogs it’s what’s landed us where we are now with regards to laws

I agree with you in regards to what was the main reason that brought our downfall,that being the Labour Party & their promise of banning hunting with dog's which had long been a controversial topic just to gain votes that would tip thing's in their favour at the election,if you can recall we got word that the Tories would reverse what Labour brought in if they regained power at the next general election,again to secure our votes,many voted for them only because of what was said in regards to the reversal of the hunting with dog's act,the politicians lied to us as they very often do. Being

I beg to differ with that 1 mate the ban was pushed through by the Labour Party to secure votes it's simple as that yeah corse you'll have muppets you get that with anything there plenty of people out there who people will regard as professionals if you want but you'd be suprise what some of these so called professionals have to mess up people's way of life

Best thing I can say lads is take no notice of anybody else working your dogs what ever your doing and enjoy it we,re all along time dead. My life style lately with work and family etc etc does hold me back at times and I wish I could get out hell off alot more then I do like I used to but it is what I it is I still get out and have my days and nights out with my dogs

I started the topic back on the 15th December there wasn't any bitch in season to be mated that I knew about ,the lad only rang me this past Sunday to ask me about a mating,the bitch was mated on Monday & Tuesday of this week so my 'reappearance' as you call it was nothing to do or couldn't of been anything to do with what you mention.I didn't ask for a penny regarding a stud fee nor a penny for fuel to trail up into Scotland with my dog,the lad offered but I refused. I mentioned it because this past month or so has been nothing short of suicidal with all the bad luck I've had,I've had gra

Drop bombs on 50 of them a gazillion miles away in the Middle East whilst at the same time letting thousands land on your beaches buck shee…….yeah, sounds like a plan !

I dont think any type of working dog is as hardy/tough as a dog bred for earth work...theres not an animal alive,wild or domesticated that will travel down into another animals lair and do what a Terrier does.....

Day over & week over for us lot, enjoy your weekend folks whatever you're doing take care everyone..over & out

700 years plus vat

Sausage casserole I did a few days back. Cheers, D.

All's I know is,...Terrierwork is a real hard old game....

lamb steaks chips gravy and processed peas went down a treat

Took the money and ran....then left us all out to dry a few yrs later... Blair is a Cnut...

I think Charts that there are already a couple of Spring and Summer counts by other organisations and there are slightly involved rules about what to count and what not to include . The RSPB Winter one is a lot simpler . Just stare through the window for an hour and count what you see. I suppose too , birds are easier to count when the leaves are off the trees and ground cover dormant and females aren't tucked up on a nest. It probably has a use in monitoring birds when the population is at its lowest and might help estimate potential breeding pairs. Basically its bird

Jeff's dogs have over thousand years of breeding I know where I'd be going

lol i wouldn’t worry fuji the dog has been a belter and had a decades graft lads do well to use him

I was talking about the recent change in laws mate mostly relating to coursing. That’s been brought on by the land driving community

Best thread on here for ages hope it doesn't go tits up.

shipping lanes were sound wilf until we start getting involved in something got f**k all to do with us again lol man’s it ain’t a bad thing stopping the flow a chinese shite lol

I’d personally abandon the shipping lanes and have you walking it overland in a shopping trolley mate.

Pre ban I loved hunting all species of deer, but for me the real excitement came from putting the dog against something bigger & more powerful than itself. Dogs that will do the smaller species are 10 a penny but to knock over the big ones single handed is no easy task & dogs that can do it regularly deserve the upmost respect in my book

Unfortunately thats the Digging game for you....lots of lads,fancy the idea and start at it....and its too much like hard work for most..well done to you all , especially your lad, sticking till the end to retrieve the dog.... been in similar circumstances more times than I care to remember ....when that tyke goes to ground,you get down to it, that's the least we owe them little warriors

And tonight I will mostly be eating steak,chips mushrooms,onion and cherry toms

Long gone are the days of the old cluelite converted to a blazalite 100w bulb alloy backing no adjustment just a flip up filter as the mod con I used to use the 170 copy with dimmer it was running a 100w bulb I used to run the dimmer 3quarter open an the head adjusted half way I found was the sweet spot for me an my eye sight I’d not miss spotting stuff that way the amount of times I’ve lamped with others over the years an they have over looked stuff because there lamps were set up wrong they had a strong bulb an the head wound so the beam was so tight it was like they could burn the fi

Tory & Labour ……. Great Britain……

Thankyou to everyone who has contributed to this topic,I really appreciate all your comments.. keep at it folks,catch you all again soon. Rose..

We all take risks and its the passion that drives us it's our drug like heroin the buzz in immense but temporary and then need our next fix as you know but as in your photo it can be life n death for you lads if the shit hits the fan so as tough as those warriors are from whatever sphere they are not much cop without an owner that is willing to take them over the edge..

No different to you lads with the runners...we all do what we love,we take the good times,and we take the heartache... It comes with the territory Dodger mate

Not worth a wank since they went online people just bidding on a photo has ruined it, used to buy loads of motors in the ring and had some real good deals last few I went to ended up leaving empty handed and shocked at what people were willing to chuck on something they had never heard run better off buying private and just keep makin cheeky low offers until someone takes it that’s how I go nowadays bag of cash and offers of half the asking price, someone will always take it if your persistent but be prepared to get told to f**k off a few times

maple belly pork on bbq for me

Low and slow is the way to go when it ones to pork belly I like to buy a big slab bones and all then bone it out and season the ribs cook and eat while you wait for the belly to do

Pork belly burnt ends, one of my favourite BBQ nibbles

A)Lifestyle B)Women c)The country (in no particular order)put it this way,they aren’t coming for the weather.

Got my mum to send me a picture of me and my boy flying kites on the local common. My mum took the picture on her phone and don't think she could have got a better shot

Does my head in aswell but I cant lay all the blame on them . Its the generations before them that have stopped it filtering down to them . I was very lucky my dad was game for anything fun wise. When were out walking as a family if me or my brother wanted to climb a tree he would shimmy up it first and kick any dead branches off and point out wedged in branches for us to stick our feet in . When I had mates round and we wanted to shoot his 177 pistol he would get some plastic milk cartons out of the bin , fill them with water and red food colouring and get us to stick posters of footballers

Early start for us today,we were out the door for 4am & done the drive & slog up the mountain for daybreak,it was a cold day on the high tops with a cold brisk wind with the mountain weather forecast stating that taking the wind chill into account temperatures were to be around -12C,we had light rain at times & at other times we had sleet. Unfortunately we didn't put anything to rest today,being honest we probably could have but I seen more than a handful of other's out enjoying the mountains today,I did see 3 big fine along with a handful of the opposite sex with them but they

It’s definitely worth seeking out a vet that’s familiar with ferrets, a lot get a bit flustered when you mention ferrets. When I had mine done I could have had the bit of pipe they removed sent away to make sure it had worked. I never bothered just waited a couple of months before I let him loose. If you have more than one Jill, he might favour 1 over the rest and pester her to death, mine did. I used to separate him off and put 1 jil at a time in with just to make sure he sorted all of them out. Once he’d been with all my Jills, he had free rain living with all of them. Worked for me
