  1. Nice one lads .Weathers certainly on the teriermans side .
  2. If you want a play thing ,stay away from the working terrier .
  3. How many more pups you got in the yard ?,Thats you with the chocs ,yes or no. Not many terrier men i know with working stock want winter litters .
  4. Long time ago i know but wasnt there a printable version on here somewhere ?
  5. As someone who is on the outside looking in so to speak ,where plummers are concerned ,i think it is commendable that some of you are trying to save a little bit of work quality in your dogs but with many others content to breed for pound notes you are really up against it .To breed from an unproven bitch is not the way forward ,at least if she not from a long line of workers but then again you may have no choice but the way to improve stock is to outcross to something similar that is doing the job and then back to your finest .If i was in your position i would forget all about maintaining an
  6. This particular farm goes through stages of plenty and barren .Some cracking earths there though ,just need something in them
  7. Stalking along a wood edge ,i spotted a muntie in the half light about 90 yds in front .The white rump gave it away bobbing along !.It hadnt seen me so bipod out and checked the back drop .Into a tree for a head shot but ground for chest, so chest it was .Paced it at 85 so not too far out on the guess!.Superb head for the area and what a cracking looker .
  8. Went for a round of the earths with josh today .Tried 6 farms with not so much as a half mark ,though we saw a large dog fox on the second farm and out in that freezing wind too!o .Last farm ,last try and we got lucky .Walking down towards the earths my terrier put a fox out the hedge .We were both caught unloaded and wrong sided for a shot but there you go .On further another fox bushed out in front which headed off teasingly towards an earth but bypassed it and ran up another hedge .Nearing the earth ,the terriers shot into a patch of bramble and baying started up .Shouted to josh to look li
  9. ...................And that applies right across the board .Simplicity is the key to success .
  10. Lazy buggers .I suppose seeing it is as good as shooting it -Get out there lol.
  11. Called in to see what farmer had to say today and he put together a bag of vegetables off the shelf for my trouble . Theres gratitude.

  13. Kids -I suppose not one of you went to school the next day .
  14. Seems a lot of money to put on top an airgun ? but ................
  15. Nice one lads .Nothing more sporting than letting a rabbit take its chance with a dog ,or two ,when numbers dont matter . Was it nearly cold enough for two hair nets though ?.
  16. Deer-roe-£1 /lb,muntjac-£0.50/lb fallow £0.80p/lb rabbit -£0.50p hare -£4.50 Duck -£6.00 a trio Pheasant -£1 a brace Partridge-red or grey £4 a brace . Cant complain about the deer prices ,roe anyway as its the best its been for a while .Rabbits are low but then you cant have it always .
  17. I have been trying for a decent size dog fox on a small holding for a while now but he avoids my calling ,the red,white light and has up till now been unstalkable .Last night ,i went out with josh off the site and tried again.It was perishing cold ,nearly cold enough for two hairnets but being made of better stuff we soldiered on ! The farmer is trying to establish a farm shop with free range eggs being one of the products .He has 30 or so red hens beside the shop but a fox has been worrying the hens late afternoon and has had 3 so far .Its affected the laying too . Myself and josh ,plus lam
  18. As regards rats and lights .We used to leave the farm lights on for a couple of days before hand [if the tight bugger will allow]and get the rats used to feeding under a light .feed them to an easy target spot and have a night with the aigun sat in a chair .nice .
