  1. Not saying you can at all mate .Im saying you can mould a good dog into a very good dog but the minerals have to be there from the outset .
  2. At stiffy No mate you are wrong .The full on head case knows no better than get messy .The combination of that to a steadier type combines the drives with finesse ,that’s the theory anyway .Ive seen plenty of dogs full on only fit for couple of goes a night but the amalgamated type do double figures in style .Depends what you want .Nobody is right or wrong .He who feeds it and all that . Yes some dogs are better off not being bred from or kept alive for that matter but who is to satay what’s good and what isn’t .Ive owned a tiny terrier cross bull whippet that took anything we have loca
  3. I’d say if you’ve never done the travel ,go looking thing when your young and hungry it ain’t never going to happen as you get older .Im so glad I did the meet and greet when I was young and got it out my system .I still travel but it’s with a rifle these days as I couldn’t do a dog the justice it warrants tbh
  4. Someone’s full on grafter might be another’s cull though .Not to mention any names but years ago I invited a lad off here for a nights lamping and what he brought was a well known bull grey ,line bred stud of a thing .We pulled up at the permission and in the yard there was a donkey running free .That f***ing thing hit the windscreen from the back and nearly ko’d itself .Was a nightmare on the lead ,a thick heavy rope ,no slip lead mind .In fairness it killed everything we ran it on from rabbits to deer but what a mess it left ,certainly not a pot filler and bred for one thing only .I wouldn’
  5. Dragonfly ,one of the best ir out there .They still making them ?
  6. The full on canine need not be bad with kids or livestock ,in fact its got a serious screw loose if it is and should be pts . Some people wondered why I bred exclusively to the old Razor dog even though he was a right c**t with other dogs .The reason was he had no equal in my eyes when it mattered underground .With people he was a softy ,just rolled over but put my boots on and he’d chew a brick wall to be with me . Foundation is everything your right but unfortunately in this climate ,dogs will never see the work needed to set aside greats for breeding ,the drive I saw in lads years go
  7. I’ll have to check mate ,you’ve raised a valid point though . The bayonet fixings are a bitch to keep straight
  8. Lol pushing a dog to the limit .That takes a man to do the same and is a rare thing .To push a dog you first need to find something to run that’s out the ordinary but not many want to get out their comfort zone or travel to do that .If you’ve been that man Wilf then fair play ,maybe you’d share a few stories with us as I’m guessing all pre ban from your age . Every dog has a limit so what does that prove other than another pass on with a f****d diaphragm .
  9. Not the scope mate or it wouldn’t perform .Something I’m not doing on the pard I guess .
  10. They are straight to look through mate .Dont know why it does that on film .But if it annoys you ......f**k it I’ll leave it alone ? If you look at the right angles on the cross they arnt true either .
  11. In Canada the most feared mammal is the bull Elk in the rut ,followed by the bull moose ,grizzly then black bear .We saw black bears when we were there ,the sows being considerably smaller than the boars . The day we left there was a sow grizzly with two cubs walked through the centre of Banff .They closed the roads and stopped traffic and let her through ,gutted I missed it . The elk are massive ,a third bigger again than our reds and it’s no wonder people are killed when testosterone rises .
  12. Funny that someone I know can’t box them fast enough lol.$1700 a pop .If what you got off Nuttal was the real deal as per description your a very special person .
  13. Kick started by cold weather .Cant beat being there with any of the larger deer in the rut ,love it .
  14. The old ductile was cast luckily and broke with a certain amount of force .The old deben Knocker box was useless in finding through metal . Bust up a section of drainage on a dump years back to get the dog out on a wrong in .Luckily the top was exposed the whole length ,about 2 foot diameter and half silted up .
  15. It’s unsteady on its feet from the outset ,foreign country so as said my money is on rabies .That cow was proper full on though .
  16. The carcass has been gralloched by a person .Chest cut with a bone saw and aitch bone split as in doing a deer ,I do it all the time .Whatever the holes are they certainly aint no teeth punctures .Your man there did nothing to help himself and was totally dismissed by the cat expert .I thought the panthers guy was very knowledgeable tbh and sort of said he didn’t believe there were cats here at all due to lack of anything he sees regularly at places they exist . The women sort of backed up my feeling with some people that they want to see one so bad it clouds their judgement with a Puma e
  17. Because there isn’t one for ,“sorry mate I think your mistaken ,“
  18. In the main Ive found hunting people to be very polite and accommodating .Been invited back to many a farmhouse after hunting ,wined and dined by strangers .If you look on the upper class as just that then upper class they will remain ,to me everyone has a chance to be just a person .Years gone by I was the chap who provided a fox for a days hunting at two Wiltshire based packs .The name Foxdropper is just that person ,a name that has stuck . I fell into the role by chance whilst digging on a day when the hunt was out and letting a fox run for them . Got to know the then terrier man
