  1. I am possibly looking for a stud this way bred to put over one of my mongrel bushers. The bitch is whippet x Russell x springer x pat. She's my wife's dog and mostly used for beating and bit of bushing, we don't want to add any more terrier or full spaniel so thinking a spaniel x is the way and they are now only a quarter whippet so a bit more of that would be good. Has anyone got or know or anything suitable, ideally in the South East?

    First cuckoo

    Hearing them by me since mid April, still plenty around here every spring
  5. This was a fun one to do. I love cabins
  6. This one is Elm. Beautiful but a twat to work with, changes shape constantly
  7. Had a few worktops to go recently, been experimently with Leylandii as a joinery timber, its surprisingly good.
  8. My old man has one, i absolutely hate it. It's protective as f**k of him and my little brother, ridiculously fawning and submissive to me and my sister and randomly bites anyone else if not watched like a hawk. To be fair to the dog it's my dad's fault, it needs work and time put into it and hes too old and busy. I tried to get it rehomed by C Green a while back but dad backed out at the last minute so I washed my hands of the thing. It's an accident waiting to happen in my opinion. I would never, ever have one.
  9. Got my first kid due this September, im looking forward to ticking stuff off that list with him
  10. Throw away the extension lead and wire a couple more double sockets in? Or get a sparks to do it?
  11. 100% agree. The vast majority of topics are dragged down by bickering, usually the same idiots everytime. If not that then the same dull "in" jokes topic after topic. Shame really, used to be some interesting stuff on here. More on topic, I have a mate with a working kelpie who maybe looking for a lurcher stud at some point in the future. The thing is pretty full on, works sheep and cattle, does a bit of ratting and gun dog work. It's a nice light one but personally I can't stand the barking .... it never shuts up. He doesn't mind it though, it's part of the stock work I guess.
  12. I've seen it done with large quarry but don't know whether they survived or not. At the time I had the sneaking suspicion the lad didn't like carrying stuff and it was more about that than the welfare of the quarry. Not my cup of tea.
  13. So ..... how did she come on?

    Glamping

    I could be interested, Mrs is preggers so I dont think we'll be going overseas this summer. I'd be happy to pay for a couple of nights in the huts and trade him some fallow stalking for a bit of fishing?
  15. Absolutely superb. Keep more posts like this coming please

    Eggs

    I kept a few hundred hens up until recently. The combination of feed going up and forced lock down every winter made it not worthwhile in the end. Shame really as I used to enjoy it
  17. My missus has always has a few ewes round the yard and loves the whole lambing thing. The odd one dies of f**k knows what but they reproduce quick enough to keep up and put lamb in the freezer. I had 10 on my place last year and they were a doddle, just kept them over the summer and killed them in the late autumn. Zero maintenance. Only thing I'd do different is bucket train them. Mine were totally feral and impossible to catch, had to resort to the .22 in the end. I currently have a mate grazing eighty ewes plus lambs on mine and its even better, he does the checking, they do the mowing and I
  18. Long story but the jist of it is I used to live in zanzibar and employed a masaii as a security guard, we became mates and I went to visit his family in the bush on the mainland. Quite the adventure it turned out to be
  19. Met a masaii out in Tanzania who had been mauled by a lioness while he tried to protect his cattle. She bit his foot off but he stabbed her to death with his simi while she did it. He then crawled to the road and got a bus to hospital. He was still herding cattle when i met him. He was the only masaii i met wearing trainers so he could hide his prosthetic foot. Tough people
  20. I've hunted in places where I wasn't going to get to eat the meat and had nothing to protect. For me it is all about the adventure. Even if you don't get what you are after the fact you are hunting rather than just wandering about totally changes the experience, for me anyway.
  21. Been treed by a wounded buffalo shot by a client and stalked by a lion at night. Both were pretty sketchy but I wasn't actually hunting. Closest I've come to is hunting dangerous game myself is probably pigs in nz. Don't think they kill people but can mess you up if you aren't paying attention. I never caught any big enough to be a danger though
  22. I've spent a bit of time in Africa and even a very little while working on a hunting concession in Mozambique. On an practical level I am very pro big game hunting, the best managed preserves I ever visited there were private hunting concessions paid for with trophy dollars. They held far more wildlife than any of the parks at that time at least and we're far more efficient at anti poaching. As far as making wildlife pay and therefore survive in Africa trophy hunting is vital. On a personal level I wouldnt want to hunt the big predators myself. As far as trophy hunters go the few I
