Ratting today with smoker
Squirrel_Basher replied to Squirrel_Basher's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Homemade mate .Chainsaw engine with a steel exaust .The thumping helps them on their way . -
why are you so excited about telling us about this 100 then..??? No excitement mate just thought id share the fact .If you knew anything on the subject you will know that number constitutes a fair amount of time spent out and about doing it ,not sat in a beer tent talking about it .I try to post up everything sporting but cant always find the time .Maybe we will see a topic concerning your hunting exploits or maybe you just like criticizing others .

Russels being of a yappy nature ,lol,will yap naturally .Its stopping the little feckers thats the problem! Only messing mate .Hunt them as a pack and im sure they will all learn of open up as soon as one does ,following by example . Just dont gee them up too much in the early stages .

Two from Friday night
Squirrel_Basher replied to Squirrel_Basher's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Been at it for ages down here but peaking now i would say .Just heard two out our back fields before feeding the dogs . -
So your saying THE TEAM hasnt any permission mate .You got to be having a giggle asking anyone to let you on theirs .i know i wouldnt .Get yourself some permission THEN ask for lads to join you .[May have read it wrong though] .I think punctuation missing in the first post has caused me to think the worst ,sorry .

Not sure why so many of the same pics came down as never uploaded that many ? The pup with the long tail is just 6 months but she got stuck in too . -
Few pics of our morning smoking session on a pig farm including one of three red kites to fly overhead .The farmer said when we are gone the kites are on the carcasses so a service provided there too .Managed 110. Ps there is no poison used here as the farmer wont have it ! Apolgies for the pics as they are off phone ,thought they were better to be honest

All dogs have the run of the garden in the summer mate and can follow the shade round if they like . -
Red Letter Day in Dorset
Squirrel_Basher replied to Yokel Matt's topic in Deer Stalking & Management
Two blacks mate ,pats if you like . -
Up at a place where the farmer has recently lost a cockerel to a fox .As we walked away from the buildings it stank of a vixen in heat ,it was everywhere even to a human nose so a dog fox must have little difficulty in finding them .Through one field that was empty and into a wide open area that borders another farm where the control is very intense im told .Nothing to lose so had a squeak and wasnt long before a pair of eyes came running along the hedge down the blue filter ,the easiest to see i find .I was lead prone as soon as i saw it as i had with me a mate and the landowner and missing w

Red Letter Day in Dorset
Squirrel_Basher replied to Yokel Matt's topic in Deer Stalking & Management
So you'd be more upset if i said its now 103 foxes .Maybe in your area the population lends itself to dogwork or you are kidding yourself that you are doing anywhere near as good a job as you think .Either way the population around me is steady ,always has been ,always will be .Come spring there will still be the call outs but lets not forget this is about control for landowners and not just sport as in your case .You can kid yourself all day long that the dogwork is any form of control , it is merely a tool in the armory of real fox controllers . You do your thing and ill do mine but come t -

Squirrel_Basher replied to Argyll's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Town foxes will and do take cats ,Its the initial fear that they must overcome before they realize they can but weve seen many ,many cat corpses outside breeding earths ,some warm too .As for lamb losses ,the lad needs educating .Although ive never seen it happen ive attended many a call out to deal with the aftermath and surprisingly the killing stops . -
Putting A Price On Sporting Rights
Squirrel_Basher replied to wayneinthepub's topic in Deer Stalking & Management
On the lighter side of things there are areas such as around me that the deer are still regarded as little more than pests and sport is free,yes free. I would never pay for stalking ,other than a one off trophy no matter what it offered but thats because i live where i do i suppose .This paying for it was IMO the decline in availability for some people to access stalking at all .Money entered the equation along with the DMQ's ,a biproduct of insurance requirements because money had changed hands and a spin was created taking advantage of peoples sporting heritage .As long as there are people -
Big dog fox shot whilst asleep

Hey! leave Matt out of this. M LOL,He is getting a lot better mate .We must come down and sort some of those reds that are living it up down yours . -
New kennels ,just finished
Squirrel_Basher replied to Squirrel_Basher's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
The dogs have the freedom of the garden in warm weather and to the latches ive used that type for 35 years and never had a problem .Makes me wonder what some of you lads put up with in kennels because i dont have any messing about of any sort .If the stocK is quiet then any new pups follow suit and learn by example .Another tip for you security concious lads is this ,NEVER ,NEVER ADVERTISE PUPS AND HAVE STRANGERS AROUND ,THAT IS HOW DOGS GO MISSING . -

Squirrel_Basher replied to Squirrel_Basher's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Understand what you say mate but one thing i wont tolerate is dogs jumping continuously amongst other things like barking for no reason .Easy to cure but seems most places i visit,lads put up with it .
