    Digital callers .lol.Ditch has only just mastered the art of dodging that second gate .Get some practice in with a propper squeak ,made by your voice mate before going down the 'lazy road'.Dont know if you do mate but heres some advice -Try varying the times you go out .These roadside poachers are probably stuck in a set time and set route ,if theve not been challeged and you want to get away from that .Foxes are very tuned to what we do .Their lives and indeed there survival ,depends on avoiding us to a certain extent and by changing your time to later ,much later in fact you will definately

    Very well explained mate .Ive not got the time or experteze for snaring but i appreciate those of you that do ,and do it well .Do you ever use multi -sets on the logs or do you have more than one access to a bait station ?.

    We were out all day Sunday ,doing the rounds of the earths on a local estate.We tried for a mark all morning but although a few places stank to to human nose ,the terriers said no .Fresh draw was everywhere and padding to match but you have to trust the dogs .We walked further than wed ever bin on this estate ,looking for that one earth that would hold .As we rounded a bank i saw a fox jump out the dead bracken but of course it skipped over every hole in its bid to put distance between us.Only had the .410 so a shot was out the question at that range .Back to the keepers house and he said to t

    David- Ive had the .222 for a long time now and rate it highly for fox work .Extremely accurate round .

    There is another diagnoses to this .You need to take the scab off to find out but if theres a hard ,yellow lump underneath ,then its the symptoms of an allergy to something .Maybe food related ,maybe bedding related .The vet will need to take a scrape to find this out .IF that is the vet is a compitant one .

    I'd like to know more about this stomach abscess/bleed if it were my pup ?.This is serious on its own and the pup would have needed to be on electrolytes just to keep it alive .Change your vet mate .More to it than diet .

    Number 2 ...... Have a look on your license as it wont say fox next to .22

    Never mind ,when little lloyd took it back they refunded the lot as they fully agreed .

    I guess the .22 for fox debate will go on

    I know for a fact that a Welsh pest cotrol firm has promised to deal with his pest problems ,including foxes for a price , but im not about to have anyone else muscling in on my ground .They stung the farmer big time on some gassed rats that we had to go back and do propperly.Their idea of contol is to show up once a month and stuff some poison in boxes .Fecking joke .All because farmer has to be farm assured to sell egges at best price .He cant get farm assured unless he has a pest control firm on the case to provide the necessary paper work and rip him off financially . ps .The firm from

    We did a bit of ratting earlier on in the week [pics were crap]on an organic chiken farm and the farmer asked me if i'd pop in one night with the rifle as they have just changed crops on one shed and the local foxes are having a field day ,jumping the electric fence no less and stealing the young white poults.This was seen at 3.30 in the afternoon .Well i thought straight away that there was bound to be cubs about somewhere ,but i felt obliged to have a look .Parked at the mobile home at 6.30 pm , that is temparary home to the farmer and was told that there was one down there now as the chicke

    Lloyd mate .Think about what you are saying .Some of the lads on this thread have already said that ex layers wander to say the least .Mix them in with poults and you have another generation of wanders being led by the older birds .Not strictly cricket i know but the best bet with ex layers is to dribble them out of a shed as and when needed .God luck .

    May just be me or my upbringing but i was taught to look,listen and say nothing until i felt it was worth saying .These days its bollocks from the start with no please or thankyou .There are some very decent youngsters about and im the first to encourage their enthusiasm but not at the price of putting up with loud mouth know-alls im afraid .

    Quality do there mate .We have some ratting coming up in April/May .Looking to beat our best of 620 .

    Just to add that that amount of digging is well within a mans stride .Years ago i had a rough pat and a new farm to clear and between myself and the White Warrior [now left site i believe ]we cleared 45 head of vermin in 3 months with the one dog .Night digging as well as daytime and several quarry backed up but we did it fair and square .The bitch wasnt overly hard but had hold every time we broke through .So 90 digs a dog is well believable for me .Some of you wont dig that in 5 seasons but dont be short sighted in thinking that you are doing well .Lads out there do nothing else but dig .

    Whilst appreciating a nice gun ,its not quite wanking material to me I went round a couple of gun shops today in fact, looking for a new set of stalking sticks ,in realtree but none found .Bought my quota of ammo for a week or two though .
  21. Squirrel_Basher
    Satisfying to get those foxes that elude you for a while .Well done .

    As a rule of thumb ,we dont see many bucks clean before Christmas,and see several every year still in hard antler as late as early february . They arent clean long however and ive seen some very good potential heads in velvet already,including another possible moss head or peruke but we will see .Looks to be a good buck season anyway .

    I'd like to take the credit but its fox-hunter you want .I think he uses one of those tin ,round calls.
  25. Squirrel_Basher
    AS always Molly ,a well presented string of pics but, please someone feed that fawn lurcher before it keels over .lol.Hopefully going ratting this evening ourselves but we are at the mercy of the shed movers !
