  1. Look back through any of the threads mate .One will pop up
  2. Should of put a pellet hole hole through his ear .See if you dig it later in the year . Wish i had time to just watch them .The only cubs we ever see have to dealt with im afraid .
  3. Id go so far to say it was the 22 spot yellow version ?
  4. Well i'm dammed .Theres me ,always thought it was because ears bleed a lot and blood got in the fighting dogs eye .Well thats me told ,obviously .
  5. Axactly mate .If a lad buys /is given a pup from previously proven lines and the dog/bitch dont make the grade ,then ive known some to breed off it because the blood is right ,hoping to get one next time .Ive known lads to waste years on a breeding because the root stock was good .No,its time to cull when a terrier dont have the work in it .Different when they have several seasons of graft under the belt ,then decide enough is enough,you can judge it by those years and decide whether it was good or not . Most of us cant impress enough on anybody not sure about the game that WORKER TO WORKER I
  6. Not a clue about the camera mate ,not my department .
  7. Yes mate ,they have an alarm too .A very staccato bark repeated in short bursts but unlike any dog you will hear .A stiff legged trot is seen whilst they are barking ,head up and tail like a bog brush .Like most other species i guess but again ,usually in thick cover . Just to add that when a munty buck approaches a doe for the first meet ,he circles her and presents his rear end ,nice if your a munty doe i suppose .
  8. Nice one mate.Keep your head down ,mouth shut and alarm set .Be waiting on the field mornings rather than last there .All the best mate and good luck .
  9. Quality pic that ,worth the hassle of registering .My votes in mate .
  10. Don't wish to be blunt mate but the barking IS 100% linked to breeding .Its because they generally live in dense undergrowth that they need to advertise their presence and condition .To the unknowing ,it may sound like a dog barking and i've smiled when to myself when out with other people who have commented on that 'fecking dog barking'.You need to live around them to appreciate the urgency of a doe barking though .
  11. Now ,now people. Calm down ,we must learn to embrace our coloured brothers for they have as much right to our wealth as we do .They mean us no harm really and are misunderstood . Ive learnt from previous experience on here that to be patriotic is to rub some members up the wrong way so i am a convert now . Ring ,ring .Wake up foxdropper its all a horrible dream and you do hate the feckers . Ah yes ,a reality check .
  12. That gold felt pen must be running out by now .lol.
  13. Personally ,from experience ,the type of dog required depends on a couple of factors.- The health and stature of the chap following and the type of deer regularly encountered .Its no good whatsoever having a large ,fleet dog if you struggle to run a few yards .Let me expand on this .In my experience there are two types of deer finders as well as the various breeds .Some will find ,stay and bay ,which is ideal .Some will rip into the deer and maul it but neither can be taught to a dog which is usually out of sight and in cover.A few will return to you and guide you back to it .If you are unfit
  14. Nothing to do with looks mate but you wont get the answer on the open forum !
  15. Dont listen mate ,they are all jealous of your obvious talent and fieldcraft .Do what works in your situation .At least a bottemed box dosnt get turned over with a catch in it and the prize and trap , lost to a badger! .
  16. Yes mate ,and a good ratter she is too .[No good for feck all else mind ] Although i'd love to claim them as my own work ,none of the pics are from my camera .I dont have the flair or time to do anything else but get in the thick of the action .
  17. The bitch on the left is one of the strongest bitches ive owned .Started off very hard ,got a few medals ,then steadied down at the age of five years !The bitch on the right is waiting to see something yet but has developed the bad habit of marking a hole vocally but not wanting to enter .Its immaturity and will hopefully be ironed out by next season .She is also a strong bitch ,as it should be .
  18. Hopefully ,all being well, Martin will be up with me next week mate .
  19. Cheers people .The third one down is my own lurcher ,a bitch ,whippetxlakeland -colliex grey .The lurchers are very useful when ratting to pick off any long runners.............. .........................like this one .
  20. You can discount badger deffinately........never lay up during the day outside. Well rolfe ,i beg to differ mate .Ive seen many a badger bed near active settes and disturbed one or two whilst mooching .Usally made of dry grass and rounded though .Brave man that says .........never...... .
