F.A.O Snareman - rats snared at last!
Squirrel_Basher replied to stephen58's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Nice one mate .The old heras panels make good pens too .Keep it up . -
Bit of advice for those not sure . Get as much information about the fella before meeting anyone ,quizz him on the dogs ,breeding ,workstyle and anything else you think of .Antis arn't that well up on genuine facts and that is what you need to base an informed decision on .Be wary of those with no permission ,that want to work your ground with your dogs ,definate no no and no video footage whatsoever

Proper Hunting!!Great value....
Squirrel_Basher replied to The Catalan's topic in Driven, Walked Up, Rough Shooting
£200 a day for pigeon shooting ?Either im very spoilt or your taking the piss .Farmers provide the cartridges around me and ring anyone interested themselves! . -
suitable calibre for cat control
Squirrel_Basher replied to woz's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Whilst I absolutely agree, I am amazed to hear of such things from the keyboard of Foxdropper! Whilst i do try to set an example to the younger ,influential members i do have morals of my own and cats are definately vermin in my book and culling whenever and wherever the chance occurs is general practice mate. -

Can women be the same as men?
Squirrel_Basher replied to grewgirl's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
In my younger days ,ive been hunting with various females but i have to say this -It wasnt long before the sexual tension got the better and i always blew it with the blatant looks and suggestive comments Something very sexy about a women in a mans world to me or am i just a pervert .Nothing against women hunters at all ,just that sooner or later sex crops up and ruins it . Edited to say i once came across 2 females ferretting in a wood and after a chat i ended up with them all day but one was such a looker i had to decline the offer of a further day out as im married and well ,want to stay -
paul mc cartney in irish paper today against fishing
Squirrel_Basher replied to a topic in General Talk
From what i remember of McCartney ,he lost favour big time with a lot of animal rights groups by fencing his estate in Scotland and therefore not allowing the deer access to the lower gound in winter .Hundreds died but it was brushed over as disease .B.A.S.C need to revive the pics in response to the twats latest farce . -

Squirrel_Basher replied to The Sporting Agent's topic in Wildlife and General Photography
'The family '-Not being funny mate but im glad my missus and kids dont look like that -
any advice appreciated
Squirrel_Basher replied to towzer's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
I have to echo that mate .Keep us informed though . -
My method is to shoot at a target at 25 yards first to make sure you hit the target .A few more shots to get it on at 25 yds ,then move back to the 100 .It will only take a couple more to get it up to zero from here as the left to right is spot on already .

suitable calibre for cat control
Squirrel_Basher replied to woz's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I know that the law is a bit shady regarding cats as to where and when they can be killed but as a rule of thumb ,if its in the wrong place and isnt wearing a collar and dosn'ts come up and rub your legs or purr softly when you coax it to you ,then in my book its nine lives have expired and should be dealt with .If it does come up to you and purr and rub your leg , then it makes for an easier shot Too many cats doing too much damage to all and sundry . -
suitable calibre for cat control
Squirrel_Basher replied to woz's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Cats are not hard to kill at close range and any 12ft/lb air rifle will do the job ,in the right hands but thats head shots only .My opinion extends to the fact that ANY cat in the wrong place is fair game for the rifle or dog ,fecking things. -
Whilst not disputing the fish scales ,those spines are not from a hedgehog as hedgehog spines are tubular and not flat ,though the colour is right ,brown, cream, brown .Otters are omnivores mind and it could be plant material .As to the location ,it fits with otter spraint .Definately not mink as every one ive seen has the characteristic twist to it and is made of equal parts fur and scale .Think you have an otter with a taste for pine needles mate .

I take you mean E.Veniard mate .They still going? .I had an account with them years ago with the jays wings ,jackdaw grey napes,squirrel tails etc ,but they stopped sending me the catalogue.

finding out how smithy was bred and who added so much bull to the lines, and should they now have a full pig tail or just a cork srew, do they really need hips to work and do big bug eyes help them see better....

Forgive me if i didnt make it clear .I HAD a problem a while back that i sorted with the traps ,a cage and two fenns .I have a sand covered threshhold just inside the unit which tells me just what is going on and this has only recently been breached again by rats .I have searched the area inside out and im satisfied there is no colony ,only oportunists from god knows where.The greasy trail left by the last lot has gone along with the sweet smell .Someone nearby has a colony and is keeping quiet but im afraid poison is not my thing ,never has been ,never will . The cheese and tomato sandwich i

To release a billy from a snare ,cut a forked stick of good thickness and trim the forks back to about 7-8 inches .Point the ends of these and approach your billy .They usually try to curl up to protect the head but not always .Force the fork over its head ,beyond the wire and push the points in the ground .Hopefully you will have his attention now .Cut the LOOP with wire cutters and wave him good bye .Learn by this and set the feckers higher .

hOW MUCH DO GAMEKEEPERS GET A YEAR?
Squirrel_Basher replied to a topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
Head keeper i was under was alleged not to have touched a wage packet in 23 years .Tip ,tips and more tips 70-30 split .70% for him and 30 % between the four underkeepers but we didnt mind Any deer grassed were our perks and paid so much a head for vermin on the line but pence really .Tied cottage ,all bills found, a quad each and dog food allowance that only stretched to 2 dogs but hey ,happy days . Just to add that the head keeper was a force to be reckoned with .Any gun giving a tip of less than 20 quid was made an example of by him dropping the tenner on the floor for all to see and th -
Good advice alimac.My advice is to get your orders in to the game farm early ,probably too late now for this season around us .Better to leave birds at the gamefarm in bad weather too even if you do have to pay an overstay charge per bird .One thing i will add is that with penned partridges in bad weather it is better to get them out of the pen than hang on to them in filthy wet conditions just because they are small .Good luck with the coming season to you all .
