    Where i used to control the foxes ,they told me every hen killed was worth 36 quid in lost eggs.Times that by the average of 20 birds lost a day /night [before the big cull ].......and thats ..........well loads .£720 lost daily before a profit was turned .They did have 9 sheds though ,22,000 in each .200,000 birds earning a minimum of £36 each ,thats £720,000 a year and they still went bankrupt

    Kay, on the unit I spoke of everything is auto. At this time of year light comes on auto at 4 am, there is an alarm bell that rings 5mins before the feed belts are operational, this bell conditions the birds to get to the feed troughs when it rings, I believe this is one of the reasons they never stray to far from the shed, hatches open auto at 8. As dusk falls, when the last "dinner" bell goes the hatches will also automatically close after a set time. Lighting will go off slowly by dimmer switch. All the eggs are collected by a conveyor belt, the feeding periods and light are all delivered s

    Hi Foxdropper....I'm confused...if you simply had the deer added to an existing .22 centrefire you had listed for Fox etc it should have been free anyway. Perhaps it's those Wilts Coppers trying to make a fast buck! I called in to Devises HQ mate as soon as i heard about the law change .The firearms officer said that a variation to my firearms was needed and would cost £23 and the temporary loss of the certificate whilst it was amended.The officer brought my license to my door that same evening comlete with .222 for fox /small deer .I questioned the 'small deer' bit and was then

    DO NOT GIVE EITHER DOGS BIG MEALS .They may sick the majority up or in the very least ,cause stomach upset .Something you want to avoid at all costs with a malnutritioned animal .Diahrea[spelling ]will see off the dog through dehydration .Feed quality meals little and often ,not something to be taken lightly if no-ones at home all day .Excercise will depend on how fast the animal recovers and if any damage has been avoided .Sorry to post all negative responses but its the way it is .Good luck .

    Good luck .

    Little tip mate -Instead of posting flyers through letter boxes, try posting pregnant doe rats and leave your card handy while your there .lol.

    The recent post on day olds got me thinking about my days on the game farm in Gloucester .We used to use both gas heaters and electric hens on both pheasants and partridge.If i remember right ,the fors and against were as follows- Gas is cheaper to run,the unit is cheaper than the electric hen , but more labour intensive due to somebody needing to check temperature on the hour or more frequent in hot weather .The distance off the ground of the element is crucial to prevent crowding in the centre or huddling in the corners.Feather pecking is a problem with the gas ,more so than electric as the

    On the subject of nosey passer byers ,we were ratting around a shed with a smoker and 5 terriers when the law pulls up and askes me to turn the smoker off so he could be heard .He then said that they'd had reports of 'hare coursing' to which we all started laughing .After we explained what we were doing he sees the error of what hes just said and they both stayed a while to watch the sport .If we'd had lurchers out ,i dare say we would have been left trying to defend ourselves . Another time we were ferretting and a wpc comes mincing over to us to ask what we were doing ."Ferretting'"the kee

    Quality do there lads .Good to see other quarry and other ways .Good on you .
  17. Squirrel_Basher
    Deker- what can you do with the .223 that i cant do with the .222?
  18. Squirrel_Basher
    You can blood test all you like ,count days and hold the bitches back legs up after ,lol,but there is no guarrantee with every mating at all ,although phisical condition plays a big part .

    My chioce is for the best quality bipod ,money can buy .The 3 stage harris suits me in both my stalking and lamping and ive had a few assorted quarry with it now !Second to that is the sticks but they are slower to use than the bipod .I stalk/lamp with them in the stretched position and take the prefered kneeling shot .Its just a matter of holding the legs and letting them in slowly should any other shot be necessary eg prone ,sitting .Cant see any benefit for my own shooting in carrying an editional bean bag .

    Ditch -Pointless lamping in falling snow mate as the light bounces back at you but wait until it stops and get out without the lamp .Look for footprints of intended quarry eg fox and follow [in the right direction],keeping your head up for spotting it and spot it you will .Foxes seem almost stupid in a fresh fall and are easily seen .The fun starts when you see it and in getting close enough for a shot .Good hunting .

    No mate ,your bait was eaten by mice ,voles or shrews .You will know when a mink or otter trys to drag bait out the back ,believe me .Just to add ,I was told many years ago that the best deterant for a mink was an otter as they wont tolerate them in the same territory.If theres no sign ,tracks of them Lloyd then rest assured ,you do not have mink on that lake .

    but what was the dress code, "japanese sniper" Good day you boys had there .

    I know its not my dog mate but take a tip from someone whos done a bit .Keep him away from it all for several months and start again with him from scratch .Many a dog has been passed on to make a belter with new owners after a lay off .If he dosent make the grade after his second chance then ........................!

    Its sometimes ourselves that put unneaded pressure on the THOUGHT that a terrier should be doing a bit at such and such an age .IME theres nothing wrong with a youngster seeing something as long as it is winning and not too often .I would rather they showed interest when young than some of the layed back stuff weve had but then again they do the job just as well and stay out the sick bay too!Ive got a pup that is now 14 month and shows no sign of wanting to go, but go she will i know it .Read your stock not books .
