Don't know why they unsettle me, nothing with 6 legs or 4 legs or 2 legs or even no legs has that effect. Maybe that's it, they just have too many legs and too many eyes. I would imagine that being wary of spiders is no bad thing in your part of the world though  

Only the redback and funnel web are really a danger over here. If you leave a tin can or similar overnight in the yard you can be sure it will have a redback in it. You rarely see a funnel web spider but yeah, you have to be aware.

Yeah until you kill them and call the mrs to show her your brave deed and the dead giant spider has shrunk to the size of a grain of rice, lol.

[Terrier x's]

Terrier /whippets are a rare cross to see in Oz as the whippets or terriers do the different jobs but I would have liked a whirrier when doing pest control for certain spots.

You’d expect them to yap, which can be counter productive for a bit of discreet mooching. 

My Russell bitch never makes a sound except when guarding the house, also my male Parson is silent when hunting, it's the only time he's quiet, lol. I think either of these crossed with a whippet wouldn't yap so maybe pick a quiet terrier for the cross?

I wonder if anyone saw Mothman around when it collapsed .

The man talks a lot of sense , I love a do or die running machine .
I’ll probably get roasted for this but I’m not overly fussed on too much brain power , I like a point and shoot hound on the lamp 

I love really fast dogs too. to me the thrill is the attraction but the vet bills can mount up.

Typical Greenkeeper .After cutting a few thousand acres of grass you tend to get like that .

Its just easy to keep things in order , dates of eggs hatching in the storage draws with dates of eggs set & dates of breaking through eggs. All set on same day so all young will have a fighting chance & hopefully great success rate on young making it to the sticks. If you don't have things in order it can turn out a nightmare with eggs all over ,  not knowing which eggs are from which pairing. With this it's so easy. Thanks for the comment mate. 

It's very impressive, I had budgies and finches when I was young but you are on another level with yours, I've always had fowl. A lot of hunters over here keep birds and fowl too, proves hunters are genuine animal people and conservationists and would know more about animal welfare than the fwit antis who live in fantasy land.

You go to a lot of trouble for your birds Banger. Interesting and good on you .

[Funny Joke Thread]

Why do they call abbos boongs? it's the sound they make when they hit the bullbar on the Land Cruiser. The difference between abbos and dog shit? dog shit turns white after a few days and doesn't stink. Why did the abbo bride wear no knickers to her wedding? to keep the flies off the cake.

That's in Vic for sure. Up NSW it would be one guy on the jack hammer and the rest under a tree smoking billies and drinking rum. Forgot about the one guy shooting snakes with the 410.

also know a couple of rum old boys who if a farmer/ keeper goes over to them kicking of are more than happy to stick itnon them and have done plenty of times

If they did that in the more remote places over here you'd never see them again.

Over here mate they shoot them 2 stop people having a run  mr Stuart would be appalled 

I don't like shooting anything really but I think there is something special about hares and they deserve at least a sporting chance to outrun or outwit the dogs. Spotlight shooting them is such a waste.

[This.mite start something going who still lamps long ears and why do lads think it's.wrong to lamp them personally I think they our fair game]

If they breed up too much the farmers will just shoot most of them anyway so might as well give the dogs a run.

[Disgusted]

 Sheep farmers over here shoot Wedge tailed eagles. I think they forget the eagles control the rabbits and foxes as well as young roos apart from them being awesome creatures. They take the odd lamb but mostly clean up the dead carcasses and vermin. I nearly lost a Russell pup to one but I still wouldn't shoot an eagle.

[Dog jabs]

I'd go to the vets, it's worth the pup getting a heart and general health check at the same time.

You must be spoilt up where you are ,down south they are few and far between

Where I am now you rarely see a hare, I only have 24 acres but get rabbits, deer and heaps of pigs come through, you have to watch walking the Parsons through the place in the early morning. The hare area was around Wellington between Dubbo and Orange. Hardly anyone uses dogs on them, it's all pig and fox hunting so a good spot if you like the hares.

Excuse my ignorance mate are they a native species or an imported pest

They're imported, I've never really considered them a pest like rabbits. They must have imported them to hunt, I'll have to look into that.

You shot How many in two hours????come on

Yeah just with a .22 rimfire and fed most of them to the property owners half starved kelpies after he told me to just leave them in the field to rot. Where I used to live you would see literally hundreds of hares in the 5km drive to town at night, there were zero rabbits in the area.
