    Deker- what can you do with the .223 that i cant do with the .222?
  2. 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 .

    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 .

    ..............But you will miss clean rabbits to sell .17 takes the head off and shoulders if your a bit low !

    We seem to have missed the snow down here ,again .Nothing better than a fresh fall to see exactly whats on the ground .
  15. Squirrel_Basher
    Missed your post .Well done mate .
  16. Squirrel_Basher
    As said ,good honest post .I hope you get to spend time with foxy mate as he knows nearly the same as myself and you wont go far wrong . Ps just make sure your lamp is well charged .lol.

    Havn't done much yet as most of ours will start when the pheasant season ends and we have the run of 2 large estates .Good pics there mate and cracking type of terrier too .Nice .
  18. Squirrel_Basher
    Mate of mine regularly does 100 yard plus head shots with sub sonic .22 so 140-200 with the 17 does not suprise me at all .Well down anyway .
  19. Squirrel_Basher
    Dont know what its like to have a break from hunting but i bet you miss it .Good luck in the future mate .

    Went out with josh off the site for a good walk around one of my permissions with the lamp.Walked the opposite way to that which i do normally .Saw plenty of deer but not a sign of a fox ,until that is ,we got to the pylon field .Josh spots a pair of eyes just the other side of the pylon itself and i squeaked .It mearly looked up from what it was doing and carried on .We were about 200 yards so i decided to get closer .Charlie had other ideas and picked up what he was eating and stroled along the hedge ,right handed .We were now a bit closer so down in the prone position. A loud squeak stoppe

    Im not pretending to be better or as good as the next man but being a builder ,i know the construction of 9" hollow pot walls .If the rats are living in them ,then its simplicity itself to bolt rats from them for waiting terriers.Just simply tip a bucket of water in each pot and wait for them to bolt .In the past we have rigged up places like this with sliding doors etc so that all exits are blocked before we enter a building .Dont overlook the terrier as a means mate and it intails no great financial outlay .

    You boys should carry a bag of grass seed !Excellent backfill job there and successful day out .Well done

    Muntjac above . Roe below Fallow tracks were too old to be identifiable on a pic
  24. Squirrel_Basher
    Can someone force Lloyd to change that FECKING FONT TYPE,put out a contract on him or at the very least ,ban him .
  25. Squirrel_Basher
    Right then mate - Muntjac will have a print of roughly 1 inch by 1 inch and pointed .That is to say an inch across the toes and an inch to the back .Very often over trodden by the back foot as they are same tread walkers . Roe are roughly 1 1/2inch by the same and narrow . Fallow are a bit bigger than sheep at about 3 inches long and 2 1/2 wide ,point to point . These will vary slightly according to the ground conditions ,with wet mud showing the rear hock of an animal .I will try to get all 3 in pic form if time allows .
