    Some years ago there was a roe buck that had cleaned his antlers on a big hay bale and ended up with a load of wrap on him .Looked like a boufont hair do .Someone else shot him caught up in a hedge ,having lost a lot of body weight

    Like you said moll ,the man has a talent and we should all have the opportunity to get a free print ,only joking .Best left as the one print as it leaves the verdict open to the veiwer.Bit like -"if only that bed could talk ,eh ".

    WELL LADS , I FIND THAT YES AS MILLET HAS SAID THE COLD WEATHER HAS THEM MOVING ........... HOWEVER I THINK THE WET WEATHER GETS RATS SHIFTING FROM THE HEDGE BACKS ......... HEAVY RAIN = RATS IN MY FENNS AND BENDER SNARES NO DOUBT ITS THE FRESH GREASE RUN THEY ARE FOLLOWING SINCE THERES NO FOOD , THOUGH NOW THERES A TRAIL YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS FOR A GOOD WHILE ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Found out that the local grain/ feed mill has recently had a flood in the augre basement and i'm not the only one within a half mile to have rat visitors . Is there any way of setting

    Stubby has a very good grounding in the genetics field so listen to him.Be careful when buying advertised BEW, as silvers and some pale sandies all start life as offwhite kits with black eyes .Moult out as true colours later .In my own experience ,ive never bred a full litter of BEW when breeding two together ,if that makes sense .The remaining coloured offspring will however breed the odd BEW when put back to one .This was a while ago when i tinkered with the gene pool and i expect there is someone breeding them true now .

    Now, I'd say this Is Conclusive, Photographic PROOF that I Personally witnessed a " Dingo Dog " sniffing out a hole in the bank where badgers regularly pass through. Dawn B and FoxDropper may, of course, dispute this till Pat and Noels cows come home. But I Was There! I Know what I saw! (Now know him really quite well, actually. And he's f*cking gorgeous! ) Evolution is a wonderful thing ditchy mate as they now are being born with collars .lol. Hows that mink trapping now you are wearing gloves? .

    It appears that the one we had is NOT the cat that is doing the damage and a return is in order .The keeper questioned it and rightly so but the wrong' un has a white paw .

    In my experience ,you are better off going solo .Too many with too much to say in clubs .

    Theobenmike-All i do is knead a slice of bread into a ball and roll it to the back of the trap .The other units are all mechanics and not one has seen or found evidence of rats .I can only think they are drawn by the grease trail of the previous victim .Anyway i will keep at them .

    I have a unit where i store building materials and kit ,no food of any sort [apart from the odd deer hung up overnight. lol] but for the past six months i have had rats getting in and chewing stuff .I have a fenn set permanent and have had 28 with that and a live trap .Monday night i went to load kit for the next day and found one in the live trap .Despatched it and drove home .Forgot the cordless drill so went straight back up and found another in the live trap .Nice to be brushing up on skills but where the feck they coming from .Incidentally ,ive found the best way to live trap rats is bed

    ................................., ANYBODY ELSE HAD BOTHER WITH BIRDS OF PREY? Prince Harry Damn,beat me to it .lol. It is said that kites were as commen as seagulls are now ,years ago and that the gull has replaced kites as the main inland scavenger ,especially around rubbish tips .As for a kite taking a ferret ,that wouldnt happen .The size of the feet denote what birds of prey kill and kites are not endowed in that department .Scavengers and insect eaters .

    Went out with josh to some of my permission .Had to be the best night ,weather wise of the year so far .Just lacked cloud cover .Anyway we set off into the wind and towards where the keeper has lost several birds to both fox and a feral cat of the black variety .This particular keeper is very vigilante but has been unable to shoot either .I took the .22 along because the land borders a housing estate and i thought the centre fire was a bit much .Around the first bend of the second field ,josh spotted a cat up on a pen pole in some game crop ,cheeky bugger and i squeaked .It came belting in bu

    Good night you boys had .Good job the farmer was out though .lol.
  16. Squirrel_Basher
    Looks like you all had a good day .Nice to see you clearing away around the dog ,they need that vital air to carry on .

    "hold on there dick face. im just saying that retards like you think that a few easy draws and a few marks make a dog great. give a dog plenty of hard work and i can guarantee that most of them will start to bark. when pre ban was mentioned i presumed stronger quarry than foxes were in question" If that is aimed at me then what can i say ----You truly are the master of draw ...............If you can remember as far back as pre- ban the hard stuff then you are too old to be getting your blood pressure up .
  18. Squirrel_Basher
    Pictures mean nothing mate .Right -Draw dogs -Ive personally seen quite a few very different breeds at the job with some surprises coming from some tiny whippet crosses .Lets look at whats required here -The dog is usually used by lads who for some reason do not have or want a gun for dispatch and the big dog is expected to pull quarry out and dispatch it .The dog is required to draw regardless of the position of quarry in the hole ,ass or face on .The smaller dogs of light muscle may have trouble in pulling quarry out and i have scars about me when i assisted a non descript lurcher in this ac

    Good to see some proper terriers mate .Keep at it.Keep that lurcher in tune too .

    Very well written .Also 'humble pie' by the same author,some questions on stalking answered.**********[ten stars]

    Fancy taking any more guests out ?The fallow buck has eluded me so far in my life but one day!.

    For squirrels ,all ive ever done is squeak like you would a fox call .They get aggitated and chatter at you ,sometimes appearing very bold in thier quest to find the sourse of the niose . The coins are slid together face to face ,fast then slow .
  23. Squirrel_Basher
    The weight thing yes ,but length ?So much easier on the ears and shoulder mate .

    This thread rekindled my interest in calling munties .Heard one tonight down in a patch of rushes whilst walking the dogs .The sharp bark of a buck if i wasnt mistaken .Called back to it and it literally came crashing through the spinney towards me but the dogs had other ideas and coursed it 3 fields away towards a main road so i got them back .
  25. Squirrel_Basher
    Nice stag there mate .Not too far to drag i hope .
