  1. As a boy i had many ,many 'gifted' corvids ,one every year .Very entertaining .
  2. In my experience for what its worth ,the use or misuse of a live rat is counter-productive to the catching of its brethren .Dont know why but facts are facts .
  3. tikka 222 Posted Yesterday, 08:39 PM this is for waidmann,it actually is illegal to posses gin traps unless they have been sandblasted to be used as ornaments.....and a snare is still a snare!! Good one Just out of interest as things have changed since i last did much trapping but can you still use the gin in a tunnel the same as a fenn, by law.
  4. Velvet or hard antler ,its a poor stalker who cant tell the age of a buck and its potential when clean by looking at in velvet .By age i mean whether its old or young .All mature sixes are left to clean to then be accessed from there .There will be those who will be shaking their heads at this but you only really judge a buck by whats on his head this year and not what you believe will be on it next year .Also ,the same as does on any one day ,you only compare what is in front of you and not what you saw yesterday or hope to see tommorrow. Even on large tracts of land bucks wander in and out
  5. I see my teachings havnt been in vain grasshopper Nice one mate
  6. Drove to a place this morning in the dark arriving just in time to see the first rays of sunlight and what a sunrise it was ,absolutely stunning so stunning i forget all about a pic of it ,just enjoyed the moment .This place is made up of a central track with 3 fields either side leading to 4 across the top if that makes sense.Stalked left handed as this is my preferred route, wind permitting. The second field over i bumped a group of deer from the next hedge back that ran to the far boundary and they stood ,a buck and 3 does,looking intently my way at about 90 yards in the middle of the fi
  7. Cant see what all the rush is about myself Went up the market garden last night and stalked into a CLEAN though white ,6 pointer ,only for the deer to get spooked by the farmer of all people .He who cannot abide deer .Oh well next time maybe .
  8. Alternatively ,forget the terriers and concentrate on that play station game you havnt mastered yet ,you know you want to
  9. Beats me how the self proclaimed superb ratting ,bushing dog needs to evolve at all .Progression stage ,only a plummer owner would come up with that shit especially if his her pups wernt fetching top dollar.The only progress you lads need is to forget the money and think about the work side of things .
  10. You know what martins like mate !,25 yds off sticks isnt that far but whatever floats your boat,lol.
  11. Does mr nuttal have any explanation for this odd brindling or are you all just happy to go with the flow .
  12. The land of roe .lol.Surely you are mistaken.
  13. Shot in the rain and then dragged i think but welldone mate.
  14. Quality post there mate .Looks an old buck to me by the face .High seats first light ,magical .Havnt been out yet what with work and weather but theres a buck with my name on it somewhere ,he just dosnt know it yet . Speak soon .
  15. I know its been done to death on here but can anyone post up a printable version of the rat switch snare .Mates got a problem around kennels and traps ,bait arnt helping much.Cheers in advance .
  16. Testosterone imo plays no part in the working ability and the lack of it may even be a bonus when bitches are nearing their time . Give him a go Tom and let us know .

  18. what a load of bollocks. mute dogs where nigh on useless. and rarely lasted long. and the only reason they are tolerated today is the fact that they can be found fast and then got to before they expire. and thinking back to when terrier work was an art form is not fantasizing its remembering the good times had with good company and good dogs. and when i was younger it was the same as today one dog in then locate it and dig it out. the only difference i see is it was harder to find the terrier so a little more was needed from man and dog.and a good voice being one of the main requirements. it w
  19. Brilliant mate.Was that free range sheds ,if so how many sheds for that number of rats .Was the stoat in with the rats mate or bushed .
