    Just shout " my turn " when the dog can be heard at the bottem of a dig .Keep this up for 4 seasons and if they are still keen then they might cut it lol. Only joking.The thing ive found with young uns is that they need explaining the law often as they get a bit blaise' about it all , not that we do anything wrong mind but would hate to think of them going solo and messing up . I encourage questions but dont like a babbler ,like participation but quietly.When things are going on nice i like to let them take control of an easy one and only butt in if i see a mistake thaf will affect the ou

    Not stolen as far as im aware but need to know if they have been offered for sale ,swapped.Both show signs of work and the older is breaking down soon if not already . If you are offered them ,just to be clear,i in no way blame you as the recipient . Just a hunch they arnt where they should be .

    Both that i dug and ive only dug 2 in 40 years lol,with the same dog,little bullxrussell and he took very little grief of either of them and he was not really the baying type,more take hold and hang on,lol maybe he just got lucky.Did the dog do the second one on a zimmer frame lol

    Was a farce ,kept you hanging on to see a kill that probably was not allowed to happen .Matey getting near said it all with rangers behind him ,mesolithic my arse .We used to go bush in the summer hols ,3 of us granted with an airgun and lighter but that was it .im sure early man worked as team to hunt as well as the lone hunter and groping was all part of communal sleeping .Mother was just pissed it wasnt her had her tits felt .

    Beddy hybrids lol.

    Havnt read whole thread but has the dog been worked off a quad box .Out the box in a hole back in box ,kennel, like many hunt terriers .known a lot of false marking from these box bound dogs ,a huge fault of the owner .

    Proper all rounders

    I think the introductions made recently were of the European otter rather than our own native which is a tad bigger than ours .Dont know if its fact or hearsay .We have some artificial holts on backwaters here covered in rushes .Surprised we havnt come across one yet .

    Was stalking in the borders few year ago in a wood far away from water and movement caught my eye .It was an otter checking out rabbits holes .I squeaked but it never even looked up .The local barbel water to us has taken a hammering by all accounts but not seen one yet .One dead on the road near Salisbury last weekend though .

    You want your head read mate .Do what i do run them into the ground then buy another .I had 3 of the 4lifes on the bounce and killed them all lol.Now have a warrior ,same thing different sticker .No amount of work done is ever recuped ,it just means its a working truck of that age.

    One thing to consider with a quad is whitefinger if your doing the hours .Mate of mind in a lot of pain nights through fighting with the bloody steering day in day out .I would have a kobota type carryall with a steering wheel any day and quieter .

    Cracking last day mate . My own doe season has been abismal due to lack of roe in Wiltshire but well done on your bag and for achieving the cull plan something not easy with the pace of life these days

    Thats just it with tips ,its a means test really .What your ok with may seem obscene to another .It really is the thought that counts as long as its more than £ 30 lol.

    The only reason anyone knows anyone these days is through this ,the good old interweb .Years back i neither knew nor cared who was who .Sometimes think i was better off before but then no one would have the benefit of the extensive knowledge available on here lol.You can never know them all mate ,some just do their own thing without the web and keep breeding tight .It is a shame we have to keep harping on about the past ,dogs long buried and diluted beyond recognition in some cases but its also due to the web that lads are able to source the right stock i believe .Been a lot written about stu

    Lol,my old headkeeper used to check the handshake and if it was a tenner he dropped it started coughing and drew everyones attention lol.Poor gun had to dip in or borrow a twenty plus he lost the tenner under heads foot .Used to make us smile .i would say 40 quid each would be about right these days mate .
  22. Squirrel_Basher
    Proper job that mate

    Always thought a border would make a good hat,you know Crocket style .
  24. Squirrel_Basher
    Get to know a lad mate and maybe youll be gifted a pup .Dont go the ready to start road as rarely does start .Patience mate .

    The drawback with going out with others is picking up bad habits that at the time seem ok and not a big deal, like small holes ,not filling in behind terrier before lifting ,not looking for another behind when quarry is shot and badly set ,that will do ,netting up .From an early age i went out with a mate of my Dads and a mate of his . No locators then different world compared with today,i cant remember if they were about then but those lads never used one . After they gave up due to getting on a bit lol,me now ,i went out with loads of different lads and some that judging by the rep should ha
