    It appears we are being lead astray Mr Boulter with the true cost ranking up there with the most expensive in fact .

    The sun shone yesterday afternoon and lured me into an early finish at work and after speaking to one of my landowners,who said she'd seen a buck earlier that day ,it was off to the farm as quick as the speed limits would allow .Started with a sweep into the wind which payed off very quickly .As i rounded a hedge i glassed a pair of roe heads on the far hedgeline,one a buck, and decided to approach around an earth bank to my left that would take me to within 150 of them and follow up with a crawl ,not because of the distance but because i enjoy getting up close and crawling .As i stalked aro

    Just about managed to read it in one sentence .You say no comments about the writing and puntuation but you know it is wrong so why not correct it .Great to see kids out doing a bit but heres hoping your stories dont get any longer .

    The terrier hasnt seen a fox so hows it supposed to mark one . I would trust a lurcher who has seen a fox over a terrier who hasnt any day . Just keep trying mate .

    Im understanding the ethics here but a bit early for me though .Legalities also .

    Squirrels are easily caught in tunnel traps with mk4 fenns.No bait just daylight at either end and set near a source of food or base of large tree where they frequent .Sick and tired of the feckers on our shoot but has to be done all year round to control any incomers .278 caught this year on a newly set up shoot with no previous pest control from 23 fenns rotated around 40 tunnels .

    Too late mate ,money spent .Will do a review when its had a good bit of use including the bottle usage .

    Locally ,its a night time noise ,heard by myself when out with the dogs from a nearby estate and yes it is a noise to stir the blood .

    Myself ,along with a few others who have written articles for Darcy books in the past,have the privilege of receiving books up front from the man himself .Having met the man and hunted with him it is very clear that he has a very good ,fact based knowledge of all things wild which stretches from flora to fauna .This book has been a long time in the making and the hours spent in its content,i know, would bore a lesser man but JD settles for nothing less than his take on perfection .The pictures throughout capture the very raw and rough struggle between the hare and running dog ,something whic

    Out first thing this morning for a well earned stalk as its been work ,work ,work lately.Parked up between two farms and set off on a circuit ,meeting the farmer out moving the electric fence and making him jump a bit i think .Tried the lower ground here and as expected the usual does were out but no buck .Theres a very big buck here but he spends most of his time over the river on the neighbours and off piste as it were .No sign of him but saw five does and managed to stalk in very close in the fog .Up over the top and onto the next ground and was faced with a field full of deer looking v

    Working ability yes ,but not just any old ability .If this goes over your head then maybe the penny will drop one day or maybe you will be forever chasing that ideal cross .

    I think the finer points of depth and its lack of is lost on FTB.By the way ,a metre is a yard and 3 inches if we are splitting hairs .A reading of 2.1 that was really 3 1/2 foot would be cause for celebration on the rock we have to contend with in places .Dont let it stop you posting though mate ,just dont mention the depth .

    From experience mate and not hearsay .Keep the lamp at the foxes feet as it comes in and not directly on it .Turning it off allows the fox to see your outline and the game is over .Remember this-their eyesight is atuned to the night unlike our own and they have a mental picture of what should be on the skyline and where .Get your back against a tree if poss before calling as this will break up your background .Most foxes will pull up at some time when close to you and turn sideways .This is their escape strategy if something goes wrong .If they are within 30 yards then this is the time to shoo
