    Thanks lads .We had a sweepstake on the numbers and i was way out with 690 but one of the lads had 550 If only that first shed was dry

    Muntjac can be called by barking back at them yourself .Ive done it several times ,calling both does and bucks in to be shot .Its my experience that both doe and buck bark to advertise their presence and posible breeding status.Listen in an area where they bark , usally just on dark but anytime in the night ,and you will soon distinguish between bucks and does .Without drawing attention to yourself from passers by ,you need to perfect your own bark as the wrong sound amongst barking muntjac will have them all quiet and gone .Ive had them come nearly to my feet and took several with a lurcher w

    Had a trip out with a couple of members off the forum yesterday ,plus a couple more lads i know .Went to a chicken farm i have the ratting on .The farmer has just cleared 2 organic sheds of the last crops and promised some sport with the pack .We had to wait a while for the lads to pull the first shed to its new ground and leave behind a row of steaming shit which showed signs of a few rats but not the usual mass of holes we have seen .The reason for this was evedent as we stared digging it over .One of the drinkers had been leaking severely and the muck was saturated .Rats dont like this a

    Might just be the angle im looking at it or something but it looks for all the world like a young badger .Certainly not mink which are a distinct spread toe walker on soft stuff .As to the den or holt mate ,if theres no scratching up the trunk or loose sawdust below then its only that ,a hole in a tree .

    Its good to be in the company of a like minded sportsmen and even though i pushed him hard time wise ,FH was up to the job that i know would of had others whinging .5 am to 11.30pm every day is grualling for all but the most dedicated i can tell you .He only missed the one shot ,on the first evening ,which was the closest of the trip but we both agreed it was tiredness from the drive down, combined with poor light . What he forgot to say was that i had to shoot a doe in funny circumstances .We rounded a hedge to see a doe struggling to her feet and it was obvious she wasnt going to get u

    Ditch -Jst read your account of the hunt mate and i can relate to that ,except it would take me 20 words to explain the same thing .A sobering thought for you mate but its a good job i never came over and found sign of that fox and subsiquently shot it myself .One thing ive learned through life is never say never .Anyway mate ,good youve finally broke that rifle in .

    So how does the verification thing work .I am all for having some propper craic but who says who is allowed in or not Might see some uncensored pics at last .

    Had a job to spot him at first with that realtree jacket Well done junior .Nice shooting .

    Is it just me or is anyone else a bit concerned about the fact that its cropped up several times that lads are breeding from substandard bitches .IF i had such a thing in the kennel then it would not get lined and would die a maiden .Why do people knowingly breed from shite .Its beyond me .Better to buy in and risk it than knowing dilute working stock further surely . On the subject of bitches costing more ,the answer is to do with the fact that the buyer has the chance to start his own line from a bitch ,therefore make money from it ,if he so wished .A dog can serve many but you will only ev
  14. Squirrel_Basher
    Just my opinion and one shared by my digging partner is that to expect anything less from a bitch is to admit that the breeding has gone a bit pear shape .The only difference in our stuff is the weight advantage which adds only a low percentage to the success of a dig .If you are hard on weeding out the small stuff from birth then providing the dog throws decent heads as well as eveything else required in the make up then decent bitches will be produced .The day we expect anything other than a propper result from a bitch will be the end of it all . Attitude as well as physique counts . Foxdro

    Ditch-Never said you were a loser ,only the cause you are championing at the moment ,but then again you knew that but as usual you are twisting what was said to meet your own ends .The reason why i will not be coming to your house is purely and simply because -After asking around about your good self ,i feel we will not hit it off in the slightest and i have better things to do with my time ,like hunting . So after publicly insinuating that i am a messer ,do you want me to say what i was told or .................... Edited to say that ,that will never happen so lets just leave it at that mat

    Everything ive ever hit with a centrefire has either been dead there and then or died after the initial adrenalin has worn off .Call me a liar if you want mate but fact is fact .If you are still advocating the .22 to total strangers then i must question your own ethics because having been there and done most things with the rimmy i know what is and what is not exceptable .
  19. Squirrel_Basher
    Please don't Assume I 'Crave' or even seek anything more, Drops Mheanwhile; As long as people try to suggest I and the majority around me are liars, or at best delusional? I'll treat such with the level of contempt they are earning themselves. Ye talk of proof? Prove everyone on this Thread, apart from you and Dawn, are Wrong. Typical of people on a loser .Put the onus on the other guy to prove there aint ........... I dosnt work like that and you know it .

    Its a pity old Bri Plummer wasnt still about as i feel sure he would be in his element in coming up with a breed of dog to hunt these cats that no-one ever has any proof of seeing .Strange that .He was a dreamer too .FFS just admit that there are no BIG CATS alive in the BRITISH ISLES. Ps And Ditchy ,just to add ,Dont be so cocky without the proof you so strongly crave .
  21. Squirrel_Basher
    Looks like you are to follow in Mr plummers footsteps there mate ,same dogs ,same way with words .
  22. Squirrel_Basher
    Weve all done it /will do it but should we really be advocating the rimmy for fox shooting at all .Ive shot some decent ranges in the past but seen some run off obviously hit ,never to be recovered .If we are all honest about this then we would agree that its not the done thing .The rimmy is for SMALL pests and vermin .These days i never shoot at a fox with the .22 and have never wounded one with the centre fire which to me says it all .
  23. Squirrel_Basher
    Essential pest control fellas,something that never stops with us either .
