Apologies if its been done before but ive recently had the privilage of receiving a copy of this book from J Darcy and what a book this is,couldnt put it down .For those that were about in the halsion days of those oft quoted words 'pre ban' then you will surely relate to some of the tales and pics from this book .The author has clearly seen his fair share of deer action .Filled with full colour pics of action shots and quarry at rest its plain to see the amount of hours spent in the field to achieve them .Many dogmen talk of taking deer with ease but this book tells the truth about the big b

Replace with a fox wire with a bit of bait either side .Had this years ago and they can be the very devil to sort out . -
dog`s not bothering rabbits
Squirrel_Basher replied to happydigger's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
To my mind any decent terrier that has seen a fox will have enough about it to know the difference when required to do one or the other . When i used to keep ferrets i always had an terrier along and never ruined one in doing so .If a terrier pulls on the lead marking ,id like to think we were on a fox and never had one pull at a rabbit place .I lamp the terriers with my old lurcher more to keep them fit than anything but they will join in on a worry when the old girl catches which is not very often these days . They know the crack . The very same terriers will bush if required ,something that -

All the best for 2012 -

Do you ever consider this as an evil you wish you never started though mate .If we'd all refused this paperwork and told them where to stick it we'd be in a better position now thats for sure .Red tape and more red tape designed to extract the last penny from keen sportsmen just because they are just that .Ive met some real pompous blokes [that were probably the same without the dmq mind] that blurt out all the gumph but do the opposite and vice versa .A recent fallow cull said it all . Why should anyone need a piece of paper to stalk deer ,none of the other disciplines require it , if anyone

The term fading puppy syndrome is one that is overused .There is always an underlying factor in why pups arnt doing well .Some bitches just arnt good mothers ,end of, but to watch a litter fade is very hard .i would seek vet advice before doing anything drastic Some are born with genetic defects in the digestive tract whilst others have no palate to enable them to suckle .Take the whole litter to a vet with the bitch and see what they say .

Thankfully we are mainly all on the same page .Renews a bit of faith does that.

Please dont refrain from jabbing your terrier mate .The vaccine used these days is very safe and the consequences of not jabbing can sometimes be devastating ,trust me .I vaccinate everything and never had a problem .

Basically like its been said ,if theres strings attached then its you that has to live with that .To say that once a dog is given away ,thats the end of it isnt entirely true .If you bought the dog then its yours to do what with ,as and when BUT if the dog is gifted then certain things do apply ,unwritten but they are in place most times and should be .Mainly regarding the breeding and or passing the dog on again .These should not be viewed as restraints just safe guards to protect the breeding which takes a mans lifetime in most cases .Any man giving a pup WITHOUT these conditions is suspect

You have got t be having a giggle mate.I hate these bloody dmq's anyway but that is taking the piss big time .You can see why many have no interest in this worthless piece of paper .Bloody joke from start to finish.

digging partners loosing it
Squirrel_Basher replied to vduben's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
To my way of thinking ,anyone whos prepared to walk away from this way of life dosnt deserve a second thought .Met a few and been very disappointed in the past .Someone will come along mate .They always do. -

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 .

Squirrel_Basher replied to FOXHUNTER's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Thats one fox that i would love to see a lurcher behind .The bloody cheek of it . -
Sadly no mate ,the days of fur taking are long gone never to be revived i would say .Did take the tails off a few of those with white tips though .

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
