  1. IME mate the velvet will peel off leaving a bloody mess behind .Not worth the hassle
  2. In the meantime mate dont wait on ceremony .Id like to invite you down for a stalk at Martins ground ,lol.Only joking ,give me a ring and well try again to get one for you mate .
  3. A well earned achievement mate ,all the best ,FD
  4. Sounds the best route to me mate .A tenner says they will turn up unexpectedly after that call .You know it makes sense mate
  5. Was a good shot mate ,pity i missed it on film Is the film any good in other respects or pants all round :icon_redface:See you Tuesday evening hopefully when youve saved up enough for the deisel .
  6. Sorry mate but i can dispute that 10 times over .Seen many does with twins of the same sex .We had triplets on one farm that were all buck kids .I will go with the single theory though .Only ever seen single doe kids .
  7. You could be forgiven for thinking he was on the weed but i assure you all hes not .I dont tolerate that shit around me,just a bad camera take between blinks.Must work on his spelling though, lol.
  8. Bin Laden bin sleeping ...long time
  9. Was it a case of buck fever mate as hes certainly a good one .Maybe next time mate .
  10. ............Hence why you call yourself clean spade i guess .
  11. Forgot to add this pic of a close up of his face as he has a puncture wound below his right eye ,probably from another buck .Deep enough to put half my finger in .
  12. Local came up again for a further lesson in this fine art ,lol.Took him to a place where a farmer is moaning about deer trapped in a field he has electric fenced ready for cattle and hes worried about them damaging themselves and undoing his hard work so i said id take a look .This is also an intensive organic chicken farm if thats the right combination of words to use so fox control is of utmost importance .We glassed the area from the truck and were more than surprised to see two young bucks out together following each other in the lush ,long grass and at the far end of this meadow .We plan
  13. Sort of talked myself out of it being a really good one but looking at the pics again on here it could make a decent medal and yes i was a bit excited when i got to him mate .
  14. THERE IS A PLACE FOR AL TYPES AND AL WORKSTYES SHOULD BE BRED FOR Sorry mate but i couldnt agree less .Ive seen good lines ruined by professional terriermen that require bolting ,20 minute wonder dogs and from men that should know better .Bolting dogs CAN be created but to the detriment of the worker as a whole .I fully understand the work of a terrierman past and present but hate to see a good digging line used for these purposes .If its a bolter you want then get a russel ,lol . The dog that has this disposition is, im afraid to say ,scared of the fox and gives him enou
  15. Local off the site came up for a stalk and met him on the motorway roundabout at 6.30 pm .Off to the ground and got there at 7pm .Sun was shining but a wind had got a bit which i knew would affect the deer a bit .Four big fields is all i have here but its a good bit of ground to have for the deer .A pond is at the centre and its where i shot the first buck of the season .We set off on a boundary stalk to check if anything was out yet but nothing .The second time round we stalked slower as the magical hour was upon us .Sure enough a buck was moving down a hedge from right to left infront of us
  16. I used to subscribe to the clean ,clean ,clean theory but as someone who does there fair share of shooting on live quarry ,ive found that the .243 opperates better with no cleaning at all and if its not broke dont fix it sounds good to me .I think its either all out clean every time or leave well alone to be honest .
  17. Well in mate, another call coming your way i expect.
  18. A fox will bolt from its own shadow most times ,even a hob ferret will do .Any terrier or any dog for that matter that can fit down a hole will bolt a fox that can get away .A dog that stands off its fox is the one that gets most bolts ,something i detest.The terrier allows the fox the freedom to move and charlie will use that everytime .IMO its the road to ruin when breeding from two of this type .Bolts happen no matter what you do apart from stopping in .My advice to anyone working terriers is to savour the dig at every opportunity and treat bolts as a hazard of the job and deal accordingly.
