  1. Facts to me are what my physical sense tell me are real .Nothing more nothing less.
  2. The two week period between is for a reason mate .............which escapes me at the moment but someone will know .
  3. Dont know who you are ,dont care but i stand by my statement .The weekness is believing anything other than whats factual.By your previous posts it appears you are a follower of followers ,right down there with those we have the misfortune to share this island with by default .This is a debate mate and i will say it as i see it .Tough if you dont agree but thats life.Evolution will put paid to your kind by the process of weeding out the week.Reply if you want but theres more of the same here .
  4. IMO its a very week person who has any beliefs beyond what has been scientifically proved.Week people are preyed upon by those who know how to manipulate .Its a human trait that there will always be those to follow and those that do the following which was taken advantage of in times gone by to keep the masses in line ,to get them to except their lot in life .Evolution however slow is the only factual thing we have and thats good enough for me .
  5. hope youve done the right thing though .
  6. In the 80s i worked on a place where chicken farming took on a whole new meaning .46,000 pheasants and 16,000 partridge on 17000 acres .The first drives of the year were met with waves of birds taking the leaves off the trees.Double gun days for invites with loaders taking cartridges from a tractor and trailer after every drive .It was said the speed loader was invented there .Couldnt drive round the internal estate roads without hitting birds in the truck .4000 of the pheasants were white with another 1000 approx being a mix of reeves ,lady amerhurst and red,orange golden with a bounty on the
  7. I would say there is is now a lot of confusion about as to what is actually what these days in the UK with very few closed flocks here breeding to type .Most game farms as we all know have a long tradition of taking eggs from caught up birds on estates to exchange in some form or another for poults later on where a cock bird aint fussy and the resulting poults sold far and wide unless you ask for your own back .Every estate or farm ive had anything to do with hasnt been bothered about which type of poult they receive only that its healthy and the money was right .Ring necked Michigan blueback
  8. Quite a few tank dogs about mind ,i know of 3 .A black ,a choc and a black x lackie all doing it .The black dog is in Wales and in a bad way after a dig im told ,the choc in oxford and the other up north .The one in Wales age wise would be 6 and the other two are 5 and 7 respectively.
  9. IMO In this country we are starved of literature on hunting .On the continent or USA its readily available in every magazine rack .Loads of moaners on here but no one willing to take up the pen .We Brits are very quick to critisize but very slow to do f**k all about it .Harcombe may use a bit of poetic license but who dosnt ,as long as its based on the truth . He has my respect for standing up for his beliefs and putting most down on paper .There are those that have slammed G Mason publically but a nicer man you would be hard pressed to meet or dig with IMO and a damn good dog breeder with a
  10. The mentor is all important in this game as with any .
  11. As with all things there are individuals that excel and can read a rabbit better than others .Seen a few and its no streak of luck .Matched with the ability to stand off a rabbit as it reaches the hedge and snatch a mistake as well as snatching up squatters and the dog becomes a local legend .Good luck with her mate
  12. Another school of thought says keep him at it now hes on a winner..Either way good luck .
  13. Or do your fieldcraft and stop whinging
  14. Lot of romantic talk on this thread .The truth is that many dogs perished pre locator which isnt so romantic .Thank god for locators is all i can say .
  15. Done .Is it a recognised site though that carries any clout.
  16. A rule of thumb for this is to feel it it for heat .If the area is warm like the rest of the body a massage will usually correct it with rest ,gentle excercise.If its hot then rest the dog ,full rest no excercise until its right .If its cool or cold to touch then needs to be looked at as may be the sign of internal bleeding .Either way mate keep an eye on it especially if the dog favours that quarter.
  17. Mate your photobucket is open to public view .Not a prob if you know but just thought id tell you .
  18. LETS GET THIS VERY CLEAR .THERE IS NO KNOWN VACCINE OR CURE FOR KENNEL COUGH .ASK ANY HUNTSERVANT IT JUST HAS TO RUN ITS COURSE AS IT DOES IN HUMANS .
  19. My experience leads me to think its not the breed of bird but the way in which they are keepered that holds them especially on a small place .
  20. Just looked through his posts , he knows and does f**k all .
