  1. Cats soon realise that an adult rat is too much for them .
  2. All the coaching and confidence building has finally payed off mate ,lol.Thankfully it wasnt a vixen and will be the last fox i kill this season bar the inevitable call outs to deal with cubs a bit later .Been one of the best seasons for a long time due in no small part to Matts shooting ability with that no miss combo .Roll on the buck season .
  3. Proper job there mate .Look forward to filling that space soon .
  4. That sort of size cat is what gives rise to the misguided rumours of pumas etc.Well done Matt on some fine shooting mate
  5. Get the pic up mate as its a beaut.Farmers were well impressed with the tally especially where the chickens were killed .
  6. As always a good read ,great pics .ratting of that quality is at a premium these days i reckon ,not much to be had .
  7. Press QUOTE on link reply and pic is there .
  8. No rubber pipe mate .A welded metal pipe on this machine .Rubbers no good for a permanent set up .
  9. The thing with information mate is to sift through it and take what you feel is right and what suits you .Plenty on here not getting out themselves but giving advice freely as if they were .
  10. What i would like to think is that there is more PRIDE in giving a dog than selling one .In giving, the owner is chosen and not the other way round .Im a firm believer that lads starting out should not automatically be ENTITLED to own a terrier with working ancestry but instead EARN the right to be given one from spending time served without whinging and getting to know the game before making basic mistakes with what is potentially a good worker .If a newby dont want this apprenticeship then he aint in it for the right reasons and certainly not for the long haul .The quick fix is never the ri
  11. Proper snow that mate not like the here on day gone the next we had yesterday .Pathetic .Nice pic there mate ,they all does ?
  12. Im afraid if its used to twos up you wont be getting it to stay alone,may be wrong but well see .
  13. Cats always a bonus mate despite what others think .
  14. Excellent pics there Molly ,makes my efforts look pathetic but in my defence im trying to watch and operate the smoker at the same time so just the odd shot as and when .Ratting is underrated as a terrier pastime i know how much how it takes out of them and men [and women] when done properly.Well done to you and team .
  15. Blindfold him mate .Dont be so soft on the dog a second time mind as there really are some shite about .i never take a lad until ive known him for years .Too much to lose and he does the donkey work until i trust him .A place in a team has to be earned in my book but fair play to you for giving him a chance .Mess up and hes history mind .
  16. Grand total of 25 ,poor for the farm but the poison has taken its toll in this cold weather we were told . The pup with the long tail is quite an exceptional ratter and beats many of the seasoned veterans but the long tail dosnt do much for me im afraid and i hasten to add not mine ,lol.
  17. Seasonal mate ,you wouldnt want to miss out on the whole experience would you .Did see 7 deer over the other side the stream off piste because of the sheep i think but hopefully they will be back in spring when the bucks are in and you can experience the whole thing again .lol.
  18. The old stuff people refered too is before the money got a hold of things .I have always had the type but sadly recently the line is set to die out due to mishaps of one thing or another but thats my problem .Brian used to always breed for work until maybe 10 years ago when there was an upsurge in popularity for the breeding and he saw it as his calling to churn them out regardless of what they came from .As a result the overall size depleted somewhat but ,in the right hands, some still worked which was more luck than judgement .It is said that he takes back return s that wont work but unfor
  19. Too frozen for brickwork so a look out was in order .Tried a place where there is usually a large flock of Welsh sheep overwintered and sure enough the signs of sheep were every where .Decided on a sit in the seat as it was mid afternoon and the sun was quite warm here .Didnt have long to wait when a fox came out up the other end of the planting the seat overlooks and a squeak had him running .Well not directly to me it has to be said but rather in an arc around me ,through the thick hedge that the seat is in and under the wire of another planting and out of sight to reappear in a sheep field
  20. Make a good team ,thee and me mate .Give the warrener something to think about anyway lol. Dug another today Matt at the place where they are very shy .
