  2. Squirrel_Basher

    I had a farmer a while back take a bottle then slam the door ,most amusing especially as hes just shit spread all his fields and everythings over the boundary on mine ,lol.

    I cant understand the trend for digging foxes for no apparent reason either .No body needs a reason to hunt ,its in us all or we wouldnt be on here .Get a grip lads and stop whining about the gun lads .Get out and get your fair share now the weathers colder .Get off your ass ,get off here and hunt .

    You can rule out birds of prey ,they leave the pelvis and tail of a rat as well as the back skin,unless an owl as they swallow whole .Rats eat everything but the tail and skin .A fox would of carried it off ,they rarely if ever eat on the spot and they eat rats whole .A badger would dig around the trap before doing anything else .Being as its wet i would say a cat had something to do with the eating but not necessarily the turning over of the trap .Classic cat meal that mate ,even see where its vomited up some of the hair .Set a bigger livetrap and prove me wrong ,lol.

    Dont forget mink can jump nearly as well as a squirrel .

    Plenty of foxes around me for everyone .The weather is what affects foxes to ground and cant be blamed on the attentions of the rifle boys of which i am one . I also dig my fair share after xmas .Makes me smile to think that you boys appear to think you own every fox in your area .The hunts are the same which is why i dont hang out there no more .The fox is our number one predator and is treated as such around me ,nothing more ,nothing less and the terrier is just a means to achieve the numbers that the keepers want at the time of year when they get lamp shy.I understand you boys ,or some of

    Terriers dont need heating of any sort mate .Not saying this to appear hard or big up my dogs but they just dont need it honestly .What they do need is dry draught proof kennels with plenty of bedding whether alone or doubled up .Put heating in and you upset the dogs natural ability to keep warm .The only time a dog does need warmth is after a severe beating or a very hard dig where the cold has set in but thats another story all together.In very cold weather the entrance to the kennel can be covered with hessian ,drawing pinned to the top, and the dog will learn to push it aside .The dogs

    Dont mean to be the bringer of doom mate but if youve left this untreated for some time you may be too late .What starts as an ear infection can lead to partial brain damage if not treated correctly .Get it to the vets asap and forget the ratting until its been given a clean bill of health .

    During exercise of any sort especially running for your life in any animal there is a build up of lactic acid in the muscles caused by, i think ,the production of adrenaline .The acid being a biproduct .This is what most of us seek to aviod when producing a carcass as it taints the meat and im told affects storage .

    Well done on your calling mate .For shotgun its a must but its usually the other way round for me when i have to stop a fox from coming too close .The rifle is a very different tool im sure you know but nice to see a fellow caller .I had one hit the back of my legs once but he realized his mistake soon enough and i missed him twice with the shotty .High seats are the best for a call ive found .

    Must be a shortage of deer around you mate as i would never dream of eating road kill no matter how slight the injury .You never saw the animals behaviour before death as in stalking therefore cannot say whether it was ,on first seeing it,a fit animal or not. I would class the carcass as contaminated and destroy .

    Nice one, 99 that takes some doing, what's your biggest fox total in 1 season? You wont believe this but my best year was 2005 with 287 foxes shot ,dug and dogged with a few snared .These were off a very large free range set up that had a very poor husbandry/shutting in policy and the losses before we arrived were colossal .272 were from this farm alone in one year .Needless to say we were out twice a week and all weekend at the place until the numbers were well down ,the year after we only got 70 odd .The year previous we did 94 and the year before that we managed 86.I live in an area tha

    Shot yesterday morning whilst deer stalking .

    Waiting for an extension to start Thursday so a few hours out between the paperwork .First light found me in a high seat overlooking the plantation thats had a bit of deer trouble . Nothing showing but then again it was very cold ,cold enough for two hair nets even .After an hour or so of freezing my plums off i decided to take a walk and that turned out to be a good move.Previously here ,id seen a very blond fox in a nearby field but my attempts at calling her that morning were miserable .I glassed her from a sloping field doing exactly the same route as last time ,up a hedgeline to a patc

    So at the close of play whos f****d off and whos staying .
  20. Squirrel_Basher
    Do these two have nothing better to do but correct each other .If it wasnt on a public forum it'd be laughable .Do you reckon they ever get anything shot .
  21. Squirrel_Basher
    Why do we have to put up with personal vendetas on the forum .If you want articles and topics related to the subforums then have a word as i for one cant be assed with it .Those that post derogatory notes and seek to belittle should be deleted for good .Playground shit dosnt belong here neither do the messers that write it .

    They seem to be well on in Dumfries and surrounding areas Billy or they are on my patches. and would agree with you as I see your location is Scottish Borders you cant be that far away from my areas. Word of advice Billy ,watch your high seats as they go missing when involved with this crowd.
  23. Squirrel_Basher
    From what i gather ,you should all get a place together ,fecking old women the lot of you .Take it elsewhere because we really DONT give a f**k .Pathetic old c**ts all of you .
  24. Squirrel_Basher
