  1. i think they are wild mutants as you put it mate .Certainly no tame stock near this one of mine .
  2. 5 more sleeps to go .I should be old enough to take it in my stride but im buzzing like a kid at christmas .Bream ,tench and summer pike hopefully .
  3. Nice one mate .Hopefully this thread will expose a lot more strange coloured wild ones .
  4. Jays build a nest flat like a pigeon mate ,sometimes on top of a pigeons nest .Woven roots with no lining .
  5. I dont intend to pass either .They are for people who know feck all and require a fast track just to be allowed a deer rifle .I learnt ,am still learning the hard way and will not be taking any fecking test to that effect.Its a big con ,i know it ,you know it but why support it .More than i earned on a trowel ,good one mate I dont use a trowel these days as i employ 25 brickies to do just that for me .Thats hell of a lot of deer to match what i earn .Look forward to your article in Darcys new book though mate ,seriously.
  6. Every badger skull found will have those same two holes people or a row of smaller holes .Part of the formation .
  7. I know many of you will have seen odd coloured rabbits but here in wiltshire seeing a rabbit is odd at times .Took Local out for a stalk the other evening and thought i'd take the .22 to see if the ginger rabbit was about that id seen previously .The long and short was that although we saw plenty of does ,we never saw a buck but did manage the ginger rabbit off sticks as i rounded a corner .Shot a normal one for comparison to feed the dogs as well .
  8. Strange that vim .You once posted on another site that you were a bricky for most of the year and did a bit in the winter .Well winters arent 8 months long mate .Attention to detail pal .A liar will always be caught out .You are on peoples cases too much to not be caught out .Fecking messer .
  9. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfQtc2beyP0&NR=1 These boys can shoot too .Hoodies i think .
  10. Badgers skull is the only one that retains the lower jaw .Every other british mammal skull will be found seperate to the lower jaw .
  11. Is that the one with lurchers on foxes ,daytime. Ffs yes it is thats where it gets the name from .Fecking parrots .lol.
  12. For sale -Ferretting and trapping for ameteur gamekeepers ,seeing as you all you burst my bubble .lol.
  13. JD-Have you ever tried the glass backed nesting box on the kitchen window ,something i intend to get sorted ,one day ,maybe .
  14. Im very surprised actually ,to see film of a dipper in such an obviously poluted and rubbish ridden waterway .Dippers are usually indicative of clean flowing water .Good vid but spoilt by the crap to be honest .Anywhere in Wales mate as every river looks like that, that ive seen over there .lol.
  15. I use the cream when i touch up my roots so its always avialable .Yet to shoot a beast worthy of wasting my touch up on though .lol.
  16. Whats been said about illegal pics is true but then theres idiots and self appraised hard men in every sport . Lets not get paranoid to the point of not posting pics as then what is the point of this site .Some discretion needs to be undertaken by the person posting i suppose but one thing is certain -The fate of dog work in Ireland is in the hands of the dogmen and not the politicians .On a lighter note ,it looks like a conservative win come the next election so we will be back to square one ,NOT
  17. Yep all pelts sold wet, rolled onto brown paper, wrapped and sent by courrier. Dont know how they graded them but some you thought were ok, got less than a tenner for, only the tip top fetched £25. Before you posted mate i was going to let rip at those who obviously never sold a pelt in their lives .Pelts were/ are graded according to whether or not there is a moult line .The area of blue inside a pelt that indicates the moulting stage the animal was in prior to death .A large area indicated the fox was killed in the autumn when the winter coat is not quite entire .Pelts were frozen by
  18. Personally and others will vouch for this ,i dont use sticks prefering the long bipod .Before anyone says" but what about the shot over long grass sudden appearance of deer ".Well you just have to know how to read deer and get to a position you can shoot from or shoot freehand at close distance .You may have your way of doing things but my numbers speak for themselves .
  19. What every last one of you fails to see is that the people who oppose what we do are purely and simply anti our way of life .Nothing you can do or say will change their veiws and its a weak politician that bends to pressure .A picture neither confirms or changes their beliefs .If they cant find pics they will take their own .You Irish lads need to stand together and fight any changes to your way of life .We over here didnt .We all thought it would blow over .Make it known that you wont stand for a ban of any sort .Write to your MP.I am personally embarassed by my fellow sportsman over here
  20. I take it your uncle isnt a dog man mate as there are plenty of fox killers within all breeds .Forget preban to mate as there isnt one .
  21. You must have organic chicken farmers in your area mate ,its all the rage at the moment .Approach a few of these and offer your services when they move the sheds .Getting in is hard i know but once you get to know the pullers ,they will usually ring you up with offers to work the dogs .All free of course .We had to travel a bit for this one but it was worth it
  22. Not entirely true mate .Mine is 3 bricks high and now empty but the culprit had a shock when the dog got him .
  23. ................we got to the farm about 0800 and met the other lads who were mates of the farmers son .The numbers of rats today were unknown so we came along to provide extra dogs should they be needed .No worries really as there were plenty of dogs to cope .The first shed was pulled and the muck turned over for a tally of 168 .A short break and onto the next shed .One of the dogs had a nasty bite across the eye but it stopped bleeding so panic over .Finished with a respectable 369 including a white striped young one .
  24. Dont forget to put a shot into it just in case it got away . Illegal ,stupid and not at all what this site needs .
  25. Always a pleasure mate .Many more outings to follow im sure .
