    I think that comes across mate. You’re not trying to be a hero, we’ve got enough of those lol you just come across as a bloke who likes being out and sharing with others

    Got to be honest Andrew, I really enjoy watching your videos mate, crack on, there will always be someone having a moan or a dig.

    It’s mad really, went out ‘lamping’ with the neighbour on their bit a week ago, him driving the buggy and shooting and me spotting with the thermal and lamping. Drove 1000 acres and a bit more, only time the lamp was on was to check something out like the head on a nice buck. Never shot anything as the lad is a proper game manager not a midnight cowboy, but it’s mad driving into a field in darkness “right there are three roe up the top of the field, buck and two does..... 4 hares over there and a pig snuffling about under that hedge”, nothing can hide. Combining that with an nv scope and a goo

    Yer hadn’t thought of long netting.

    Deffo a game changer, much easier for getting runs and an invaluable tool for fence hopping, but really can’t see why your bother with it for rabbits, that always seems a bit desperate but each to their own. To be fair I do use it for ratting a fair bit.

    Some rape live in action ? night rape

    Yes mate ? sheep are my thing really, but sheep in arable is my real thing. Spent a lot of my life on big arable farms and estates.

    That’s exactly what folk are putting into the rotation instead of rape mate, the flea beetle doesn’t effect it and it’s better for soil health to be fair etc. It takes a bit of different management though.
  11. SheepChaser
    Two main reasons for this - dry autumn and cabbage stem flea beetle. The dry autumns make establishment very difficult and in a lot of places the flea beetle damage has got so bad they are now having to have a two year break from the rape in order to break the life cycle of the flea beetle.

    No need to be a rude little pr*ck is there? Im just saying the two lads hunt different quarry on different ground which runs different. Might, quite possible, be why no one runs a saluki x or coursing type hunting foxes on the welsh hills, but a number of folk run them on Scottish moorland after deer. As someone who does a lot of it recently said to me for the foxing on welsh hills you want either small and agile or big and thick set. Also unlikE the big Scottish game which the lads are after, you got to let the dogs hunt and find the fox with their nose, not walk your legs off

    Never seen Andy’s dog firing across scree and rocks more long gallops on heather and moor. Maybe wrong but different quarry, different ground, different running

    First x whippet / Russel dog over a first x pat/springer bitch with a fair amount of bull in most of them I’d say ? she’s a ratting machine and great for the mooching and bushing

    The tan older one is mother to tan and white, who is mother to little tan pup. The black one is a mongrel hooligan ?

    Really depends where you go to be fair, I know of decent spots for most things in Wales. Where I grew up, within 30-40 mins you’d have fallow, roe, munty, reds, boar, hares, rabbits, fox etc

    Aye wasn’t missioning but that’s the kind of pace you’d be doing is mooching / bushing, as you spend time watching the dogs work cover etc.
  20. SheepChaser
    I been out since 3pm, mooching with the dogs, changed spots so had a 20 min in truck not walking and had a few stops for a fag or whatever, but covered 11km in that time, so about 6.5 miles.
  21. SheepChaser
    I’d have that for 500 euro
  22. SheepChaser
    Sorry I thought you said you’d walk 30 mile and then lamp back, I thought fair play to ye! I do a lot of walking at work and I’m usually out all day, and I rarelY go over 35 k even with taking dogs out as well same day.
  23. SheepChaser
    He’s actually saying 30 miles out and 30 miles back, so a 60 mile stomp........ no wonder them Salukis are fit.

    That dog has only ever lived for one thing. I think shed be happier going out on the hill on the arse of something, than lying on the sofa. Ive seen a few dogs, not hundreds, but enough to judge a good dog. And that little bitch has been one of the best ive seen at her chosen vocation, and she's always done plenty good enough on away days on other ground doing other things. Massive heart and a good head. Funnily enough one of the other dogs I've had pleasure of seeing, which i rate as right up there with the best I've seen, you also owned. Says a lot for the power of good genetics ?

    It’s brown bread son.
