  1. Hopefully provide you with years of sport mate and on the doorstep too ?
  2. Good advice Phil.Trouble is he will be well manned by then.Hes a greedy bugger though ,almost ate a whole rabbit today minus the head .Feral pigeon breast tomorrow if its' not pissing down tonight . Dont' remember my buzzard eating so much and staying tame .Debating whether to stick ankles and Jesses on or not. I'e informed Natural England I have him but they dont' seem concerned .The net mentions a temp license to rehabilitate him but NE wasn't concerned about that
  3. Quality mate .I'm fascinated to be honest .Keep vids coming .Do me a favour though and put some gloves on lol.
  4. Great advice mate .might give it a go .Do you hunt rabbits with them or do you not have ground dwelling type of them over there
  5. Get it mounted if you havnt chucked it ,
  6. Cheers mate that very helpful .He will hop off a perch to my ungloved arm and happily feed .
  7. He’s currently housed next door to the terriers in spare kennel but he’s not phased by dogs at all like wild bird should be . He ate on my arm from day 1 . Had him 3 days now .
  8. I've recently found a buzzard that was affected by the cold snap I think at first but later changed my mind .Saw him in same general area on side of road for 3 days running so I stopped and caught him easily .like a razor blade so I'm feeding him at home .The thing is ,through no fault of my own he's very tame to the point i think he was hand reared or at least kept in captivity .I've had bop in past .Started with a comment actually about 20 years ago but gave him away to get a Harris and hunt it . Has the law changed on keeping buzzards without an a10 or do I need to apply for one and w
  9. Drugs for dogs for dogs been about longer than you or I mate and of course I've used them. I progressed with the times but but never got complacent enough to forget the basics. I use the bellman red box but always without fail try to find the dog without it and I'm not usually far wrong .Moving with times is different to learning the hard basic rules and practicing what you preach .Even non sounders can be found with practice providing the winds not too fierce .What was meant probably was that everything us second nature now and nothing much phases me .
  10. Waste of oxygen ,only one sentence good enough .We had a fiddler around us until he couldn' stand it anymore and tried to top himself .In a mental institution now I think .Right weird looking c**t with eyes ihalf nch apart .
  11. Just hang up it aint rocket science ,social scroungers of the highest order, culls .
  12. Overpriced shite anyway .
  13. Im' actually very easy going mate but I don't take bullshit lightly nor do I like being shit on .
  14. Probably those hard quiet dogs that never get bit lol and always sold when you ring up .
  15. Yyyyyyyyyeeeeèeeeeaàaaaàaaa but I'm passing it all on now so isn' that knowledge that would be lost if I kicked the bucket .Lad that comes with me sometimes started out with the local hunt digging holes you could hardly get your head in ,saying thats' how they always do it .
  16. We here have to avoid badgers and their settls at all cost or run the risk of 6 months in the slammer and or 6 grand fined .Same applies to disturbing a settle in pursuit of fox .Those that know the game will study earth before allowing a dog to enter to determine exactly whats at home be that with a marking lurcher or terrier on lead .
  17. If the dog is staying there aint too much more to know or am I wrong all these years. I like to get a spade between combatants to save injuries but others seem to revel in combat Seen some bad choices when a dog us stuck fast, pulling tails and legs the wrong angle .Dogs tails aint for pulling despite all the old books saying so and legs need to be manoevred so as to put no strain on the back or rib cage .The whole removal needs to go with the dog not against it
  18. Maybe a trip to specsavers for you lads because there aint no caller in that pic nor do i own one .
  19. Maybe I'm just complacent but at the age of 52 I aint needing to learn much more nor have I in the last 20 years .I was lucky in the the chap I first went out with was as laid back as I am about the whole deal .No need to run about with the box ,no need to listen at holes and no need for needless talk. Dig the hole to match the depth and try to break through just behind the dog .Backfill tube behind dog if animal is to be despatched .This is where I've seen things go from bad to worse.
  20. Would a wild caught mink still be trained in your opinion mate .
