  1. Your a natural with that camera mate ,outshine the likes of Darcy any day.Quality
  2. Personally ,and this is just my view on things ,i would be a little diappointed in a 11 month old terrier if it didnt show a bit more fire about it than that .i know most like to hold back a bit, more because they are told it is the right thing to do and not through an understanding of terriers and why the nead arises. The reason for holding back are, for me two fold 1]to prevent a young tearaway from getting smashed up and 2]to maybe let a slow maturing pup do just that and hopefully mature into a worker .There are however ,middle of the road individuals that you know are ready and these ne
  3. Ive used them all and can honestly say i cant shoot off any of them consistently.Prefer harris attachment
  4. Nice buck there Alan mate and good account of the outing .Many more to follow hopefully.
  5. If your using the same ground year after year mate then gapes are the least of your worries and limimg should of been done at the end of last rearing season and not this close to a new one.
  6. Would anyone like to sponsor me with one of their pups ,no money and just my guarrantee that ill work it.Favour returned in the future though.Always wanted one of them but the right sort never appeared .
  7. In my experience John it will be a vixen with cubs .Foxes kill more of anything when there is a glut ,they are programmed to do this ,to hide the carcass for leaner times which would of happened if left alone .Foxes are notorious killers of anything helpless .Keep plugging away mate .
  8. Daft women ,lol.A burn is a stream /small brook .The scottish name for a wood is fir plantation
  9. But then again John youve been paid for a sport you love ,swings and roundabouts mate.

  11. Waidman mate-We dont have stone martens here mate only pine martins in scotland and the borders.
  12. Neatly done mate .Hope your luck holds for several more .

  14. He looks bigger in the pic than i remember mate ,got the hang of that enlarging software have you ,lol.Good evenings sport ,my thanks to Local aswell .
  15. I've been waiting for dogs to be mentioned Personally, i would rather see ANY deer [and i often accompany my mate on a stalk] being ran by a dog, than shot at...... deer cant out-run a .243 .................But then again dogs arnt selective like us ,in season or out it matters not to a lurcher .
  16. Foxy wont need telling twice, i know Only a matter of time for you mate .
  17. That is a good looking head mate .The luck will carry on now that you are on the scoreboad so to speak .Speak soon mate .
  18. Invite down to Martins this evening and to a place near the Mendips that he has .Cracking evening with sunshine and a bit of breeze that obliged by blowing the right way for a change. Arrived at 1800 ,parked up and headed out to the small fields on the boundary that were covered in freshly spread slurry! I made a mental note that we wouldnt see anything here but just as well i never said anything because approaching the boundary i stopped dead to watch not one but five does single file away through the hedge .No buck attending so no worries there .Good ,however to see them this end of the gro
  19. My thoughts exactly mate,lol.Good read as always martin and shame about the other but as you know yourself ,these things happen
  20. My own feelings are this -We are told the conservatives will hold a free vote on the hunting ban ,i bet that will never happen if they get in ,just a scinical guess .They vow to tighten up our borders ,something which is out of their hands anyway and is controlled by the EU.We are obiged to take in our quota of misfits .We cannot get out the mess we are in when we are told what to do by outsiders.If everyone on here voted for one of the extremist parties it would help send a message that weve had enough big time .The hunting ban can stay as it is ,its never bothered me or anyone i know and fe
  21. Moorhens are not quite the innocents you may think .Its long been known amongst breeders of widfowl that moorhens will drown ducklings for no apparent reason ,something i have seen myself whilst fishing.They will eat grain intended for other species and turn an area of crops near a pond into a mud flat with their constant searching for insects .This in no way adds any weight to cull them out of season but does put them in perspective.Most living creatures have the ability to become pests at some time, especially in numbers .
