  1. Still not buying it .So your saying my fc will be revoked if i dont do the dsc .Wishful thinking on your part mate having parted with money for what i get free .IF it goes that way there will many thousands of deer poached ,shot with fox legal calibres and i cant see them letting that happen.You carry on in your paper filled world and ill do what i do for free,the way it is here .As you are part of the scheme its in your interest to scaremonger as otherwise all the training has been in vain . You mention that the dsc gives you the right to over rule plod on safety which is no different to my o
  2. Wednesday evening saw me at a farm where theres generally an early season buck as theres a few does permanently on the ground .Stalked the whole farm without seeing so much as a fresh slot but getting back to the buildings i took one more look behind and was more than surprised to see 5 deer running towards a patch of turnips the farmer attemted to strip graze this winter but due to the rain never happened .The deer however must be making the most of it.They all put their heads down and started munching on the crop just as the heavens opened and down it came big time .I expected them to run fo
  3. Signs may be there but the cubs aint .You carry on in your bubble mate .
  4. Money is the only reason behind these courses ,nothing more nothing less.A quick fix to achieve something that others have spent years to work towards .I for one will NOT be sitting anything and i know many more the same .Been said before but it should never have been allowed in the first place.Proper f****d it for you boys up north .I do feel the doom mungering by Cap is heresay though ,something he would want implemented rather than whats coming .My FEO is adament its voluntary and will be for the foreseeable future .Its a quick fix for those who cant be arsed to serve the time in the field.
  5. You will have to get over your phobias of pieces of paper and snobs . Cheers Stu You obviously have a passion for the game as do i .Does it not sit well with you that folk can get into stalking within a year .Be free to carry a rifle and make decisions all based on a few hours spent in the field .Phobias are for weirdos ,not level headed folk like me but passion is another thing altogether.
  6. Not true not all vixens will move cubs if somebody or something goes near an earth at all i know of alot of earths i keep an eye on that are cubbed in and they dont grab cubs and run theres an earth 300m from my house in a chestnut wood ive walked past it everyday this week with my lurchers and they have a sniff and mark it everytime i go past and they have not been moved and rare they have been over the years [/ quote] Sorry mate but not believing that either . I couldnt give a f**k what you belive to be honest Either your lurchers are marking nothing
  7. What Neil describes is basically what i do with two seperate tight bred lines that were created from same type bitches,different dogs.Never knew it had a name but i do now.The two were created as insurance originally but now they are both doing the job.It is ,however ,very tempting to use a good dog exclusively and so a plan is needed to prevent them becoming one.

  9. Known them to cohabit many a time.Even have cubs in same earth.That run up the bank aint made by no fox ,the claw scraping on the vines in the background is fresh and blowing the pic up the run is covered in badger prints .The truth is all i ask from anyone .I accept the lad is young but facts are facts.
  10. Re read your post and decide for yourself whos sanctimonious.That bit of paper dosnt make you any better than any of us but its clear you think you are . Snobbery through and through but you know that too.As long as people can buy their way into stalking im afraid we will always be at loggerheads .
  11. But needs to be dug in the first place by something thats not there.OR does he mean they aint there now.
  12. LOL. unfortunately it seems to be a general trait, called bone collecting, and has nothing whatsoever to do with deer management unless if carried out in a correct manner .Decent bucks are being removed from the areas and in some cases leaving either yearling bucks or older animals that have gone or going back, left to service the grossly abundance of does that have been untouched or little controlled in the cull program through lack of interest . Its common knowledge by those involved in deer management that numbers and control of deer population can only be achieved in a balanced way by
  13. Of who ?????? Keep your hair on mate,refers to OP
  14. Cheers mate,now afraid to set any lol.
  15. If not then put him away and try him when hes 3 or 4 or maybe 5 but better still save on dog food and feed something thats proper bred .No wonder the general concensus is that the working terrier is in decline.
  16. First impressions of you were right it appears .
  17. Quite easy to call a muntie to you for shooting purposes of course.The art is to imitate the bark but not too loud or you will have the reverse effect .They can be called easily in cover with a buttalo roe call using the soft fiep noise,but never twice .Cracking little deer that turn up in some unexpected places .Had quite a few run at me down rides when barking and need the dog for my own protection.lol.
  18. Back to the original post , always used to be staff for digging and apbt for running .Havnt used one for 15 years but its there from a half bred wheeler dog x small pit from Oxford .
  19. IMO you have entered this blindly mate .I have never known a case of derranged behaviour in a dog fully cured only masked and waiting to reappear with the right catalist . You know what needs to be done so make it happen and get a pup from a breed wheres theres no excuses .I agree it probably fear related but will never be suppressed .
  20. You know i wouldnt tar you all mate but cant bring myself to type their names .lol. Luckily the lads i do know of over with you are of sound mind lol.
  21. Mine have scratched faces from all the cub digging ,little blighters .
  22. Does anyone know Tom and Jerry
