Snares-How We See Vs How They See
Squirrel_Basher replied to Wolfdog91's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Its not the snare that puts them off ,it' the scent you leave behind bending down to set it .If the runs used daily youll catch following night . -
Unlike you to forget anything bud lol.Must be a pair of sticks somewhere on most of my perms left behind by you . Good shooting though mate .Bring that gameface next weekend .
-
Agreed Rob but that's how it's done .
-
The number is reached by white coats based on sette surveys mate and not badgers seen .Settes are scored on number of holes ,number of holes active ,number of holes partial active and holes unused .Cant tell you the formula but they havnt been far out tbh . I totally agree terruerwork is the only true method for assessing but as it's illegal we are left with shooting and trapping under license due to excessive numbers.

I think you'e been misinformed mate .The cull is not about eradication but control of an exploding population .No one wants to see Brock gone ,just numbers vastly reduced on abnormal densities. .Don' listen to propaganda on it please. A target is set for an area and the plug is pulled when that is reached .The target is re assessed according to information given on numbers seen by contractors and if there is still time within the alotted time span a new target is set .Soil born TB is the flesh eating disease most likely to concern terriermen ,myself having a dog infected many years ago .

There are two types of TB mind .Bovine and soil born .The extensive culls around me have been going for years but still the badger survives in isolated pockets on areas that refused the cull .They tell us the areas depleted are now TB free but I've yet to see any paperwork backing up that claim and farmers will tell you anything having paid thousands towarxs the cull . .We have a large deer population too but ive only ever shot one that showed internal infection through TB . I'e pts several badgers with the lack lustre look of the disease whilst out lamping ,a reed that no doubt would get

Had to smile at the badger nets and ferret handling gloves . -
Only thing real about the wzrrener us the price he charges to spend a day with him lol.

Any fast weight loss is a symptom of a medical problem mate .My advice would be to get him checked out by a vet .

Did you know before hand he was using 70 grn Rich .

Getting some sport there John ,nice one ? -
Wee tribute to the old boy
Squirrel_Basher replied to johnrussell84's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Why not look into taking straws off him John .If the the technology was about 20 years ago im certain i would of had same from two dogs i had about then .Cracking looker that dog mate and sounds like a decent worker .Just to add ,we all strive to put our best over the best available but if a gene is worth preserving ,second rate stock from good breeding can and will produce the goods with correct nururing. All the best and hope theres a good few seasons left in him . -

Searching for new places
Squirrel_Basher replied to maxi1234's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Until a rabbit place gets drawn out proper.We are going to try two new single holers today .Been deep in a reed bed unnoticed until the farmer got a little overzealous with the hedge cutter and reclaimed a corner of a field by a pond .Two corkers well run and just right for the two youngsters we have on .. -

Raw does digest faster than complete .Not taken from any book just from 30 odd years of dogs .

Hi Stephen ,dont' forget you owe me £40 lol. I was told you were a certain writer by another well known writer on here who seemed very sincere at the time .What his motives were ill never know but one thing is for sure ,hes' not man enough to do his own dirty work and is not a man of his word . You'll get no more flack from me sir and I wish you all the best this coming new year .

Good memories are two a penny I'm afraid and the way it should be I guess but I just wish some of the truth was allowed to surface to balance the legend in modern day standards.He did deal in dogs, he didn' have a line of his own .Neither of which are derrogetory ,just the truth .
