    Went up on the downs for a look to avoid what i thought was town fog but it swept in faster than i would have believed .

    No market for the carcass? I feel for you boys

    Looks like you both had a good stay mate .How much was the buck though ?Thinking about one myself .

    You might want to extend that fencing and get a bigger shed if you intend to keep it .

    Not my pain but................myself and an old mate were pointing some 8 foot posts with a chainsaw on the back of a quad trailer .The stakes were for a pen extension .I was spacing the stakes ready to be bumped in with the tractor when he called to me ,i could hear the saw had changed sound He had only put the saw down through his knee which had stopped driving on the flesh and bone and was now screaming like ,well like nothing i'd ever heard .No chainsaw trousers and the kick bar was bent [previously] too far to work .I'm not one to panic easily and I yanked the saw out his leg .It ne

    Yes mate but elusive little feckers as you know .

    My personal opinion of tame foxes hunting alongside dogs or with humans is that is is a fantasy.Every single tame fox ive seen ,and ive known of a good dozen ,have been withdrawn ,scitish animals that loathed being touched and cowered at the slightest unusual noise .Not the sort of thing to induce a free hunting animal .Every single one of those ive known has gained its freedom through escape and has not been back since .Saw a pathetic specimen in the garden of a lurchermen in Gloucester that was on a running lead with a barrel at either end .Not good pets for sure .

    Good bag there mate .For serious decoying of corvids you need 1] a bait within gun range 2] a flapper and call to get birds within range . A combination of the two is my favourite .Sorry no pics but we have killed 104 assorted corvids near a maize silage clamp using the maize as the draw and two rooks on a pigeon magnet .

    Ive always rated the .222 mate In my opinion an all rounder .

    We do a similar thing but on a quad bike .Particular foxes are seen in the same fields for a while [until we get them ]but are lamp and squeak shy .We go round once with the rifle and leave the gates open and the second time we dont squeak anything ,just drive into fields ,lamp on and its balls out till we get it .Very effective.

    the best way i would reccomend would be swimming ,wrong time of year now unless you can find a hydrotherpy pool where the dog will be forced to swim tethered to a bar against a jet. I certainly would not be letting the dog free run ..gentle excercise on grass lead on tarmac no running on hard ground will just aggreviate the leg.If your near a beach the sand water will be a better surface for the dogs leg. When the weather improves water will support the weight of the dog and the muscles and ligament will be forced to stretch and work.. Little and often would be the best course for an improve

    My personal veiw is that it dosnt matter what you use as long as its legal and hits what you want it too .

    Im with you mate .When i saw "tits out for the lads "i persevered and read the lot ,thinking that at least one female member would grace the page in all her glory Now im behind schedule and late for lamping .
  16. Squirrel_Basher

    On the way to work this week ,ive been seeing a muntie on some ground i have by the side of a main road .Left a bit earlier this morning and sure enough he was there ,standing on his back legs to browse a hedge .Parked up at the farm and made my way down to where he was seen .He had moved and was now in a swampy area behind the hedge .I was overlooking the whole area from a bank and felt i was in full veiw but he never noticed me and i was able to get down for a prone shot .I judged the distance to be 130-40 yds and allowed an inch above the normal chest shot as the sights are zeroed at eighty

    Phone call from a farmer tonight to say that he had lost a brace of indian runners this afternoon .I had to work tonight so had a look on the way home .First field ,lamp on and theres charlie ,only 40 yds .A free hand shot with the lamp in one hand and the rifle in the other ,thankfully connected and a small vixen was accounted for .Took the fox to the farmer who asked for it to be opened up .A few feathers and a beak was all that i could identify so hopefully this was the one .Pic of dissected fox deemed too gory for a public forum .

    patrick, iv read alot of your posts in the past and thought you talked sense, but i read this one with astonishment..... i find it hard to beleive that someonethat has talked so much sense in the past can come out with a statement like "call it what you will but bird shoots are ALL about planting birds and then blasting them............ you need to do a little more reserch, what about the wild life i / we encourage back into our country side by the endless hours of vermin control we do?? I took over one of these so called canned shoots four year ago, in the first few days that i

    As they say ,a picture speaks a thousand words so that would cut down Ditchies writing time by an hour and a half ,therefore giving him more time to shoot the next one . .
