  1. Took the ferrets up to foxys place for a sporting break and managed a few . The ground unfortunately has had mixie but we persevered and ended up with 13 .Still young up here that caused a few digs .
  2. A recent trip up to foxhunters ground in the borders proved that every fox shot here is well earned .We lamped for 3 nights before seeing a fox ,althougfh a few roe put in an appearance Foxy took me to a farm he has that hasnt been lamped for a while so hopes were high .Got there in day light so made a stand overlooking a gorse bank [withies !]The scenery here was breathtaking,nothing like that in Wiltshire ! .I had a squeak and a fox appeared 20 yards to my left but saw me before i could spin the rifle round .It reappeared on the bankopposite at about 120 yards approx' and i missed it clean
  3. On a sporting trip up north ,I was treated to a few new sightings for myself of some rare and protected animals .Ive always wanted to see a red squirrel and during a stalking trip to Lockerbie i was lucky enough to see 15 seperate sightings . .Apologies for the pics as they were on a small digi . The last pic was in fading light .There then came a sighting of an otter in the middle of a wood .Myself and foxhunter were waiting for a fallow buck to appear in an area of several rutting stands , when a shape caught our eyes in the half light .It was a large,presumably a dog ,otter that appea
  4. Bad form when you have to ride around the country looking for old digs lol.Looks like you got the machine bucket out the shot just in time too.lol. Joking aside mate ,a lesson to all beginners to keep the sides straight and the top wide and keep a clean camy jacket in the van for the sake of a mud free pic .Good on ya .
  5. If the dogs been 'combi-bashin 'then erichment is the last thing it wants .lol.

  7. From where im sat it looks like a rabbit ?
  8. Sure i read somewhere ,those pipes were developed for snakes or is that something else ? Anyway ,good luck to you Ditch ,this IS your year .
  9. Some spot on replies there from lads i know are doing the bizz .The "hardest "dog i ever owned is now long dead but saw a lot of stuff in the sand around us where a bayer would be left behind baying at a wall of dirt .Hard to me is a terrier that is not in the least bothered about the qualities of its opponent and will give /take all that comes its way .A pain in the ass some times but long may they be bred .
  10. With a life expectancy of a little over a year i would like to say its us but i know what you mean .
  11. A keper of ours has them on our shoot last 3 years they are good as an early warning system but hey have come that use o certain dogs they dont back off now when we pull up at keepers cottage they roost on his conservatory shit everywhere and generallly make noise from 5 am in the morning till goes dark all in all waste of time... not sure whatart of country your in but u can pick them up at CLITHEROE AUCTION FOR ABOUT A FIVER A TRIO Only good guineafowl is a oven ready fecker .Noisey c**nts .
  12. Robbed? .Considering the poor rearing season ,prices havnt changed much over the last 3 years .
  13. Not to put too fine a point on it Ditch mate ,but if a mink tail is height of fashion for irish trappers this season then you may have to have an unfashionable season . lol. Lets face it ,your not the luckiest .You sure there are mink about .
  14. With all the pety in- house fighting and one up man ship ,theres another reason not to join .Fecking pathetic .
  15. Reading your post ,bill88,am i right in thinking you give the Guts of a rabbit to the dog .Its no wonder that she spewed.Keep the entrails away from the dog mate .
  16. Just to say the same as bill88 really .Mustard for what they were made for ,rats at close range .
  17. Your ignorance can be excused mate as it was 22lb,7oz .Pike are ,i agree very hard to put a weight on ,especially a photo .I too have had 'teens that looked heavier than this .Possibly not holding it well enough to show it off to the full .
  18. An invite to fish a local private lake Sunday afternoon meant only one thing ,pike .The invite was a bit short notice so had to dash to sainsbury's for a look along the fresh fih trays .Decided on fresh troutand stuck with it as it dosnt get used on this water .Set up the two rods with head and tail sections on each .Threw the baits in the margins by hand and turned on the buzzers.Just sat down to read my book when the nearest buzzer went off on a screamer .Struck into a decent fish,played it on the back wind and netted her quickly .I dont like to play pike long as they take longer to ecover .
  19. Bet neither of you had the rimfire handy ?lol.
  20. Suggestion- In any post concerning selling a litter or multiple litters ,the seller shall prove that he is at least 90 years old and must have a letter of verification from both parents .lol .
