    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 .

    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 .

    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 .

    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.

    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 !

    Nice one lads .Must be good to get a dig on level ground .We tend to find ouirselves on banks where we always run out of back fill.

    Nice one lads ,well done and right by a pen too

    We were on an estate in Wiltshire on which the keeper has a zero telerance for foxes and today was no exception .We marked one in a bank ,in a two holer that runs deep ,and of course we had to have it out .Little pat bitch was selected as shes not seen any work this week.In she flies and starts baying way back in the bank then the sound fades to nothing .Belman says 3.7 so we wait ,and wait but its no good ,shes there to stay .The going is easy here for the first metre or so then its layers of rock,sand then more rock ,right down to the tube .Started at 2pm and got to her at 5.30 pm.A decent d

    My experience of ex layers is that its a very hit and miss affair .They are prone to wandering as they have no local knowledge of where they now find themselves upon release,a fine statement for a bird with a brain the size of a pea i know .You need a large area of well keepered ground to keep them in my opinion.

    Might just be the way its phot'd but the fallow neck looks a bit thin .Apologies if i'm way out on this mate ,but................Apart from that critism,the rest seem fine What do you charge for a fox head and neck mate ?
  22. Squirrel_Basher
    Thats a relief ,I thought it was just me .Every time i start up it stares me in the face
  23. Squirrel_Basher
    About time you swept the yard mate .lol.They must be content to stay in that flimsey fence!
  24. Squirrel_Basher
    Good on you mate .That has to be one adrenaline rush .Hope to do the same one day .
