    Been Using Garmin trackers now must be 10 years , and had a few collars over years go down like what has been said , I just put it down to wear and tear and bumps they pick up on the dogs .

    Yeah could be the case as the cover that we hunt can be really dense with windblow and gorse so could be wear and tear. I just thought it strange that they all went down in such a short period.

    i did ask that question and was told the scottish terrier men didnt do enough lobbying,whether its a lot of pish or not i dont know, so much for standing together,wf

    I know a lad that was at hollyrood the other night discussing the ins and outs of the reversal of the law and the reason that terriers weren't added was because there was no evedence of tail damage to terriers submitted when all the paper work, basically because everybody that I know who has terriers have them all docked. If the vast majority of terrier boys have their dog docked wheather it be stuff from england etc or they did them anyway, there is very little cases of tail damage so then you don't have any evidence to submit to the government!

  13. Astro 320 Help

    Hi

    I've been using my astro with 5 collars for 6 months without any bother. Iv just bought another 2 collars, European software just the same as the others, but the new ones aren't tracking, their pairing up but wont track. In the box it says to update the astro to the latest version to get them to work, but Im worried that it'll no longer work in the UK. Has anybody else updated their software? My astro is version 4.41 and new collars 2.60 but old collars are 2.20.

    I have known Andy and Tonya for a long time,- and i had hoped to back them up, but as try as i could i find something is wrong here. Perhaps it was a tale that got out of hand but, as i find,-

    When i spoke to Tonya a few nights ago, she said

    When she got the call from Andy, she phoned a keeper, who went out on a quad, to find Andy, although she says they had a good idea where Andy was. She also text the farmer who was away at the time, and he sent someone else out. She says Andy had fell into a ditch and partly under a wall ( i presume after the "attack" ). The ambulance had wanted him carried to a road, but she says those who found Andy took it upon themselves to call the air-ambulance.

    She says there is a second page to his medical, that states a fracture to upper right humerus. We knew that anyway, but no head injury. Look on the hospital admission report,- upper right arm injury only. A head injury would have priority.

    The parts i was going to raise are,

    About 6 days after it happened, the farmer knew of Andy being hurt and air-lifted out, but said he did not know of any attack. Nor did the farmers mother who said she was in the village everyday, and no-one there had ever mentioned any attack.

    No one in the village pub knew anything of any attack, staff or patrons.

    He is said to have had a head injury, knocked unconscious. Got a broken collar-bone in four places, and broken arm. Robbed of money and binoculars, and his rabbits. It is the Wildlife police dealing with this.

    The air-ambulance insist his only injury was a suspected broken arm, and NO other injury, and they will not change that. The woman at the air-ambulance spoke to the Helicopter crew to confirm the exact injuries and they said categorically no injuries to any part of the body other than upper right arm, and no loss of conciousness.

    Treated at Carlisle hospital, and home four hours later, by taxi,- a very long taxi ride back home, with "those injury's".

    Photo shows only bruising to upper right arm, no bruising to the right collar bone, holding that terrier with a shattered left collar bone?????

    Andy was out ferreting 5 weeks later. !!

    Tonya says details are not being released to the press, till 30th December to give police time to do enquiries, but she put it in The Hunting Life, on 16th December. The "press" is not any regional paper, its The Weardale Gazette, a community paper, only printed every two weeks, that's why it had to wait to the 30th. Anete the editor knows Tonya. I wondered why that paper, and not regional press.

    What enquiries are the police doing, no-one in Edmondbyers even knew of it happening.

    Saying the Edmondbyers community really pulled out all the stops to work together to save Andy's life. I could not find "community" knew of it.

    The odd thing , the police only mention rabbits being stolen. Tonya says she didnt get a chance to go to the farm to see what was missing until after christmas, the dogs and ferrets got back ok though.

    Its pointless to say read the report, in the Countrymans weekly, its not an independent report, it was dictated by Tonya.

    Its difficult to write this but i think i had no choice now

    I worked on the estate as a gamekeeper for 6 years where this happened and still keep in touch with the keepers and locals in edmundbyers on a regular basis. None of the locals have mentioned it and I can asure you that 1 of the keepers wasn't atacked at gun point! The bit about a gamekeeper going out on a quad to look for him is an absolute lie! Looks like these pair are at it! Theres a couple of farmers that it could be that gave him permission, all of which I know very well, would love to find out which 1 so I could ask him personally!
