    I know nothing about goshawks as we have none but that pic is the very essence of a female sparrowhawk .They too like to ride thermals and spend a lot of time gliding to gain the height ,just for the hell of it .

    Personally ,i would have been embarassed to have to dig that last two foot to prove what i knew already .Cant be the first time hes killed underground surely .Seen it too many times to get in a strop about it .Dog comes away with a mouthful of charlie fur and refuses to re-enter .To the 10 minute crew ,lol,this could be seen as jacking but it would be they who dug the last bit to disprove it .Knowing your individual terriers working style is as big a part of terrier work as the breeding.Do you want to perpetuate it ?I wouldnt use a killer in a deep spot personally but thats just me.

    quote" Probably get shit for this of know it alls but still I'll tell you any way. A couple of years ago a keeper friend of mine rang and told me a story about losing his two terriers to ground, nothing unusual for keepers your all thinking, but its how he lost them that's important. He had dug his old terrier out to a fox a few foot deep and dispatched the fox with his shotgun, he then let's his terrier in to retrieve the body and get his reward, he also let in a unentered pup to have a look and bingo the pup's pulling away at Charlie to. Now this is where it starts to go tit's up wards, he

    Had a mate ring me to say that charlie was klling a bit round a pen they have and could i check the earths locally .Well the only place worth doing is an old sette and i mean old ,no sign of its previous occupants at all.Stinking of fox and a nice amount of padding too.Netted what we could and stopped the rest.Entered dog,a rough coated black bitch of 5 years old and a bitch i like to dig to. Stood back and listened .It was a good while before the baying started up as it covered roughly 50 square feet and a mark of 1.1 was got, away from trees ,ideal .There was a entrance just in front the di

    Im in no position to comment on copyright and the legal side but unless a pic is marked as copyright then you pros are open to the worst .Use a bit of the old grey matter and stop whinging .Pics + internet +unscrupulous person =stolen pic .Simples really . Edited to say ive just tried to do it and succeded but got no interest in using others work .Im no computer boff by any standards but it really is easy to do .

    I take it airguns are frowned upon in the States .Stange when you can hunt with muzzle loader .All about tradition though isnt it .Do you do any bow hunting mate ,now that is something i would love to try .Been to Florida a few times and mean to try moonlight boar shooting next time .ATB ,FD .
