    I do, I much prefer autos to manual. I drive off road regularly and through some pretty rough going and I've never felt disadvantaged for having an auto. A funny thing that happened to me recently is that at the weekend I had a discussion with a keeper about manuals and autos, the keeper was adamant that he would never have an auto and then promptly got on his automatic quad and rode off to check his catchers!

    Individually. Every dog I have ever met loved chasing deer, running deerdogs paired up makes for the type of useless arse-biting 'haunchers' often pictured here. A good dog strikes the front end, running a pup paired-up teaches it to go for the haunches and will ruin it as a deer dog. guess you not got bull xs then mate ? I wouldn't have one as a gift.

    Hi can you put up on here details of how to get hold of the book plus the cost, cheers. LG

    There's a hell of a lot more room in a LWB Trooper or Shogun/Pajero than a disco and the Jap wagon wont breakdown all the time.

    I have no idea about Jeep running costs or reliability but I know the Jap wagons reasonably well and although Landcruisers will be out of your £2k budget, you might find a Shogun for that price if you look around, although it might be a bit ratty. You definitely should be able to get a decent LWB Isuzu Trooper for £2k - a mate of mine recently got a 130,000 mile LWB Trooper in decent nick for just over a grand. As suggested above, the Frontera / Monterey (rebadged Trooper) would also be well worth thinking about.

    Disco reliable! That's a laugh, most people who own one seem to spend more time under the bonnet than they do driving the things, and you'll permanently need a tray under it to catch all the oil it will leak , why not get a LWB trooper, shogun or landcruiser instead

    I've had several dogs killed through jumping and more injured so I strongly discourage it particularly at night and I wont run a dog anywhere with a lot of wire. In the daytime, my dogs will tend to follow their quarry over fences etc but I would much rather have them lose whatever they are chasing than risk huge vets bills and having dogs out of action for weeks through jumping related injuries. When you count the pennies jumping doesn't add up for me.

    I've had both but I have got a Forester and a Cruiser now and they are different tools for different jobs but by choice I drive the Cruiser a lot more than the Subi and it will take you places a Subi wont get to.

    I saw today in the CMW that Colonel Ted Walsh died recently after a long illness, a sad end for a brave man and a superb sportsman. I knew him slightly in the late 70's / early 's and I think that Lurchers and Longdogs is still the best book on the lurcher as well as being the first and it's a book that brought huge numbers of people into the sport. Rest in peace Ted..

    Probably a badger, though it might have been two-legged vermin putting a trainer through the wire. Still, if it was brock and it had come along when the cat was in the trap it might well have eaten the moggie and saved you a problem. A final tip, dead cats are generally much easier to take out of traps than live ones and there's no worse predator of game and small birds and mammals than Tiddles!

    [ I know what you mean with alpha but the problem is making sure other birds don't get it. The odd crow wouldn't matter but I'd be afraid of knocking off some other species. Although I will keep this as a last resort, failing the Larsen doesn't work. Thank you Lost Generation Knifebar I understand the problem. The difficulty using poison has always been that it's not very discriminate - those eggs will attract corvids but amight also attract buzzards and you would have to make sure that cats and dogs etc can't get get at them as well, although, with that said, it

    It is now illegal to use alphachloralose on meat to poison magpies and hoodies in the Republic of Ireland. Edited by JohnGalway.

    Antibiotics wont affect the performance of your dog as much as it being killed by septicaemia caused by an unchecked infection.

    now that moter brings back some memories!ive had plenty of sore ribs etc after a nights lamping in them pickups we used to have a fibreglass back on them,with little to sit on i bet theres a few of you of here what like these pick ups Brilliant machines, I wish they still did them, I've killed a lot of stuff off the back of one of them.
  17. Lost Generation
    I've got a Landcruiser Colorado as well - 7 seats, brilliant on and off road, very, very reliable and will go round corners unlike a pickup. Other options might be a LWB Shogun with the fold-up seats in the back

    I've got a Yukon Ranger digital nightvision monocular and I'm wondering what illuminator would give me maximum range for spotting quarry? I've got an IR filter for my lamp but its very clunky and I would prefer a more elegant solution. Cheers. LG
