    Went down to Martins place for a stalk on Tuesday just gone .He took me to a new place of his locally and what a cracking spot it is .A wind sheltered dingle or dell if you like ,is the centre of this piece of land and we stalked towards it ,hoping to see a deer on the fringes of the bramble patches .The snow was still hanging about here so expectations wernt very high and sure enough the deer wernt on the low ground .The land rises up to a wooded area and Martin saw a doe as we approached the tops .It wasnt stopping, being spooked by us i guess ,so we headed back .Near the first gate we came

    As a matter of interest what caused you the interest to get a terrier and take up earthwork. I wondered that myself mate .Personally ,the digging game was a natural progression from ferretting .We wern't shown by anyone as the basics were there ,we just needed to refine it . If you are keen on the sport mate ,then i hope you will be in it for the long haul and not just a passing interest .

    Before i start writing this i know there will be some that will frown on the fact that our digging season starts now rather than back in the autumn ,well im not interested in arguments just pure fox control ,take it or leave it . Now that the shooting season has finished we are allowed on the local estates to mop up the lamp shy foxes that plague the keepers every year .We will dig well into spring to get on top of them ready for birds going down and that will include litters of cubs . We started the day checking earths with terriers on lead which is how i see it should be .Looked at severa

    Ive argued till im fed up in the past with people who've breed from stuff that is working but the breeding is unknown,only to throw a litter of jackers and they wonder why ! I know people have to start somewhere but homework is the key to finding lines that give a good percentage of workers .

    This may or may not go some way to explain why fox is not vermin and that is that the fox has long been regarded as a 'beast of the chase'and preserved in some areas for just that ,sport .The predations of charlie were long overlooked providing some sport was had from his chasing with hounds .Its a category of its own because some areas ,in past times, revered the fox more than others .

    6 mate from Jan 1st .

    Aint you got nothing better to do Only joking of course .Spent a frustrating day with a young mate trying to explain that you dont have to kill everything to appreciate it .Saw plenty of deer today but not one presented a pic .Hares very conspicuous by their absence today but did get a pic of a coney in hedge in no rush to go to ground .

    Labs n lurchers -Fair play to you .I started off with a few things to say but you have them all nailed down and better than i could too .Whether you copied and pasted i dont care ,it says what needed to be said '.Keep it tight as long as its right' is as good a motto as any .Out cross to my mind is a term for the use of a dog from another tightly bred line to expand your own gene pool and not to use a dog just because it has the required seasons under its belt . Good luck with your pups Dev mate .
