  1. At the time of writing this ,im currantly on holiday in florida ,yes i know ,alright for some There is a local guide that can put me on a boar but he wants $560 for a big boar [roughly 300 quid].Dosnt include any licenses or trophy fees and taxidermy is on top too .Is this a good deal or not .
  2. Shame on you foxy .Youll never make the hundred like that
  3. Nice read John and perseverance always pays off.You seem like my kind of hunter .
  4. Poor exscuse if i might say so mate .get a light on the rifle and get out .Only youirself to please or blame .
  5. Lucky man there mate .Fancy swapping a bit of roe stalking for a go on them fallow next year .Might mean a bit of travelling but then again ,he who dares .....................
  6. Used both the .222 and .243 for deer but must say the .243 will put them down on the spot and in cover that is a big bonus .Wouldnt think of using the .222 now on a deer .
  7. Any and every type of weather will produce mate .You just have to know your stuff and be out there .
  8. Webley vulcan,no safety catch .Shot cart loads of critters .Own a webley axsor now which i still use to get back to basics with ,should the stalking get a bit stale .
  9. Yep and a hide and a selection of calls .Pack of sandwiches and a flask.Daybreak is the best time .Set up every and anything you shoot as the more critters on the kill ,the better for luring in a corvid .Good luck mate .
  10. The leg was a fresh clean break ,origin unknown mate . Martin-different place mate .
  11. Depends on the quality of the ploughing John .Charlie can run a furrow and be lost from veiw .Cheers for the concern mate .
  12. Good to hear mate .Nothing worse than having had a good outing, then the sour taste of [literally ]of not being able to get shot of the spoils .Result .
  13. In the past weve had some real cheeky digs ,wearing flourescent jackets no less .We dug up a road on a country lane ,one night ,years ago and thats still talked about now as the road keeps settling Nowadays i think twice as the hassle can far outway any pleaure ,trust me .
  14. Out last night on my usual Tuesday lamping session .Took Josh off the site with his lurcher as backup ,should i wound a fox .The place we were last night is a dairy farm that has had problems in the past with foxes chewing on newborn calves .This has stopped but recently ,the farmer has seen a 3 legged fox around the buildings and doesnt want a reocurance .Walked most of the land without so much as a flicker ,then found a fox in a plough field .He was at a fair range ,maybe 300 yds .Squeaked and he came forward a bit but very clumsey on the newly ploughed field .Obviously the one as he had
  15. Iamduvern -mate you are right ,saves a lot of hassle in the long run and its only a phone call .
  16. To anyone who works ,enters their own terriers ,this is the worst scenario .Seen a few dogs start well but take to digging and baying at feck all to pass the time .Too many short digs causes this IMO.
  17. Welcome mate .Oxford eh ,the home of the fallow deer and a good population of fox too .Hope you get that .223 .
  18. Had the tikka a while mate ,with a t8 on the end .
  19. What youve all lost sight of is the fact that a digging dog is the ONLY terrier worth breeding from .ANY terrier will bush ,given the chance but the best go a lot better and stay 'till dug to .Regardless of what your preferences are ,the terrier that i know and want is one that is happiest underground.Got no problem with anyone using a terrier soley for bushing as long as that person dosnt think he /she has a first class example of the breed and try to pass it off as such .True terriermen dont rant and rave about the digging game for nothing ,it is THE test of a terrier .
  20. Out with the lamp around a chicken farm that i do.Squeaked in 3 foxes at once from a cold call but only one was committed so to speak .He raced up the beam to within 20 yards but unfortunately he was smack bang infront the farm house and so had to let him go back a bit .He wandered to the left and i knew he was about to get my wind so i took him on the run or trot as it were .The shot was into the ground by then luckily and he died on the spot .Saw plenty of deer which pleased me as i have time off soon Found he had a bob tail which may or may not be the one seen on a neighbouring farm as a
