  1. I had the same experience last week Hawkman, I dressed a Doe and found 4 babies about 3/4 inch long inside. 'f**k me' I thought, it'd meant to be bloody winter!!
  2. When I read the post title, I thought this was about Bat snareing!! 'Wireing Bats' LOL

  5. What's the eating like on Muntjack, I've never tried it. Any Good?
  6. You havn't got a gay Staff have you!!!!?????? LOL
  7. I've never used one but have heard the same. The ammo can be difficult to get hold of in places though!
  8. Spray collars work really well, you can pick them up much cheeper on e-bay. Ahhhhhhhhh E-bay, it's the way forward!
  9. You're not on your own mate, I'd have totally blown my top too. I'm gutted for you. All the best. Ferret
  10. I can't seem to post a pic How do you do that then!??
  11. I'm with you Socks,the bloke was a selfish twat!
  12. I've got an old copy of 'A weasel in my meatsafe'. I've read it over and over again, cracking book about some of the animals he's had throughout his life. It's the only one of his I've read, but if they're all as good as that one then you won't go wrong!
  13. I've never been into fishing but have always been fascinated by fly tying and have always wanted to have a go. Dunno what for as I'd never use them!! Well done mate, they're great.
  14. I've never trained a gundog but have trained my Brittany for Falconry purposes, which is more or less the same without the retrieving. I only use 3 variations of whistle in the field. 3 blasts means 'come back and sit at my left hand side', 2 blasts means 'work back towards me' and 1 blast means 'work the opposite direction to the one you're working now', so effectively I can control the distance she ranges from left to right. I incorporate these with hand signals also. 3 blasts is arms wide open, nothing for 2 blasts, and 1 blast is either left or right arm out depending on which dir
  15. Cracking, well done mate. Some nice looking countryside up there.
  16. The law as it stands at the moment under this pathetic government is that England and Wales share the same laws. Scotland and Ireland have their own, as do the Isle of Mann. Jersey, Gurnsey and the Isle of Wight come under English Law. I like your thinking though!!!
  17. This has been an incredibly hard decision for me to make and as such I have been in a foul mood for the last couple of months or so. Rosie, I’m sorry. X After 16 years, I have decided that I am giving up Falconry to concentrate on ferreting and dog work. I hope in the future I will take up another bird, however at the moment, I don’t have the time or if I’m brutally honest, the inclination to hunt my Harris. I’m not being fair to him. I am therefore looking for a new home for my Male Harris. He is a 2002 bird who hunts at 1lb 7¾ oz. He has been taking rabbit and pheasant regul
  18. Alright folks, just dropping a line. I've signed up on a recommendation by Chillitt. I've been a Falconer for about 16 years now and currently fly just one Harris Hawk who I'm struggling getting fit after the moult at the moment! I also ferret, currently have 4 of the little stinkers and a Brittany bitch who I work with the Harris. I do the odd bit of airgunning, but that is more of a casual thing due to the other critters. Anyway, I hope you are well and look forward to posting. Cheers Paul
