  1. Very brave statement in the first place mate .Deer counting ,accurate deer counting takes years of being on the same ground.A count on any one day is just that ,a one day count. If your there to reduce the numbers then take a good percentage of does this season .If they are passing through then dont hammer them as they will pass through quicker .
  2. Right so youve heard the doubters ,the wankers that wouldnt know a good dog from a bad dog and those that genuinely know the man .Heres the truth from someone who has kept a line of his for 25 years and still uses genuine workers of his over bitches today .Brians early stuff was big with badger digging being the main reason for breeding all those years ago .They were strong ,bull headed animals but the bull was long diluted even 30 years ago .The increase in fox work dictated a smaller terrier and Brian is nothing if not a follower of fashion .The stuff he breeds today or rather the stuff he u
  3. Dosnt really matter mate .Had them using slices of bread before .As long as you pre bait for a while and cover the floor of the trap then you should have him .Good luck
  4. The description of mink being 'transitory 'is right but if a food sourse is found ,then its made use of regularly .Otters ,im told move on regardless of abundant food and visit places in rotation in keeping with territory marking .Mink are quite locally based compared to otters i think and visit more often .
  5. On the local estate they do the annual deer count by luring them into using a molasses lick ,well several actually which the deer take to very readily .The count is taken early morning over the space of a week .

  12. Same mate ,tell him to stick the money and find a REAL mate yourself ,cheeky basteard .
  13. Resourceful feckers they certainly are .Went through the drive through at the local Mac D's and parked in a nearby well known supermarkets car park to eat it .My son noticed a rat on top of a bin and we watched it for some time foraging .Another ran to the bin ,entered a bait station,lol and went up through it to a hole they'd chewed in the bin .Someone came over to put yet more rubbish in and they just dipped out of sight ,reappearing when the person had gone . One of the rats found a section of french bread and disappeared with it under the rubbish .The bread appeared at the bottem hole but
  14. I recently caught a rat in a squirrel trap ,an adult no less ,only to see it get through the mesh as i picked the trap up for inspection .Recipe for trap shyness if ever there was one .
