    Would the nailed rat be allowed .What im saying is ,pegged from nose to tip of tail to get the ultimate reading or is this open to abuse ?.

    Quality day out for all the family !

    If p***y is saying his dog will do 5 in a day ,any day then thats the bit I would question too ?. Butler -100 digs a season to one dog ,thats just over a dig every 3 days.For a dog that dosnt get smashed and is in its prime then its well do-able .Must take into consideration that some will be in and outers and not all dayers though . Maybe you need to look and listen too! .

    60 replies and only 3 relating to starting a terrier! .Thats why I look on here as theres never a dull moment . If Im right and p***y says his terrier has 300 digs and its 5 years old then that easily feasable ,even starting at 2 years that 100 digs a year and thats no great feat .Like he said there are lads that dig 7 days a week and are doing more than that to test a dog .What makes me chuckle is the 15 year old that thinks he has ANYTHING to say on the subject .Do what I did at that age and LISTEN to your elders .Take in what you need to know and disregard the rest . foxdropper .

    Here in Wiltshire ,gods own country,we have hundreds of hedgehogs .They are not endangered here . My terriers have developed a taste for killing them with every generation teaching the next !.They are not the strict worm and slug eaters you would expect ,they are very much opportunists ,as are most creatures and will tackle frogs and chicks if given the chance .They can and will climb a vertical wall albiet in a corner .Once dug a ferret that wouldnt leave a hedgehog in a rabbit hole .To be honest ,i didnt even know they were protected and have trapped a great many over the years,using the bo

    Ditch-Most of the nests ive found have been through sitting still and watching where parent birds are flitting to but this does tend to reveal chicks as opposed to eggs .

    Did they dig to the mark or move on ?

    Just thought i'd chip in my thoughts as they are far from some of you .I would never ,ever, start a young dog behind,infront or to either side of another dog no matter what .The best way for me is for the dog to enter of its own accord in a small place and dug to as soon as the ground will allow .Dont be too hasty in pulling quarry out once shot as I think this is the road to that sin of all sins when a terrier jumps out as you break in .Let the youngster savour the moment as should you . Preferably an earth that has been marked by an experienced dog should be chosen .This way to me has pro

    If the truth was known mate ,we have all read his stories .Taken as just that,stories, they read good but it has to be born in mind they are fiction . Ive seen a very red faced chap at a dig with one of these "direct decendents from so and so "but when asked to use his bitch for the 3rd time that day he slunk away to a bush whereby his phone rang all of a sudden and he was off .Trouble at home or something .Wheres all the pics of these working plummers then? .

    Personnally ,I would rather you did the right thing and had him PTS.YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT HE WILL BE PASSED FROM PILLAR TO POST AND FINALLY,WELL YOU KNOW WHAT .

    If done right ,the aich cut is neat but seeing the carcasses at the dealers, all cut round the ass and very neat , and im determined to start doing this .Its just that ive bought a new knife and im wondering if its too wide in the blade .Its a buck sheath blade .Yes I am a bit of a perfectionist !

    Foxhunter -the boys interest is still there but my interest in taking him out has waned somewhat as I spend my time baiting ,untangling him and not fishing myself . Scouser 3038-It a water in Wiltshire mate ,England ,and nearly on my doorstep .I've heard the irish bream are in decline but no doubt someone will put me right on this .
  15. Squirrel_Basher
    When gralloching do most of you cut through the aich bone or try to trim around the ass.If the trimming is your prefered method ,then what sort of knife do you use as Im struggling to make a neat job .Sorry if this is 2 questions .

    Nice one lads and good choice of title foxhunter .

    Just spoke to our local greyhound chap on the phone and he says this -If the damage is recent and no inflamation has set in then bandage the leg fairly tight 6inches either side the knee,including the knee so the leg is straight .Do this with hot not boiling water soaked bandage .It will need changing 3 times a day for 2 weeks .From then on bandage with dry bandage as before but change once daily .No exercise at all for 3 months .4 months down the line the bandage can be removed and the dog allowed supervised exercise on the lead .The process takes a good year to mend and thats if you catch it

    Alimac-Good luck with the coming season mate but dont forget to clip them next year ,think of all the tea breaks you could have whilst saving time walking in ,and then get on here earlier . :clapping: All the best -foxdropper .
  19. Squirrel_Basher
    Ive been on holiday for a week but judging by the posts it seems not to clip is the in thing .In reply to your pms alimac-Good luck in your venture up north mate .In defence of clipping and the full time keeper -Even a full time or full time team of keepers had more things to do than run around dogging in all evening where I worked , which is why I still advocate it .Any of you keeperes members of the NGO .Ask them about national figures on the subject ? If you want sacasm alimac then what is a full time keeper doing wasting precious daylight ,or any time ,writing on here .Get and dog thos

    Like I said ,you are obviously much more experienced than myself and now youve reach that level of experience , theres no need to listen to others . The gamekeeping section requires a mod and I propose you .

    Just to add something I've learnt over the years about hedgehogs and this was years ago when most ground dwellers were classed as vermin .The body of a dead hedgehog is irresistable to one of its own kind and was used to clear areas of this egg thief ,draping the body over the tunnel .What i'm saying is never leave the body of a hedgehog near tunnel traps as you will attract more .

    The lakes around us are fishing their tits off .Mate had 340lb of bream ,tench in a 12 hour session !

    Molly -I agreee that physical chastisement does not always work ,a bucket of water in the dogs face would of nipped it in the bud though .[after seperating the other dog ]Not a half hearted chuck either ,stinging hard . I am cut to the quick that you think I am a chauvanist though so as a punishment I'll ask you not to leave the sink for the rest of the week .

    Little lloyd-To lightly clip a bird is to just as well not bother clipping as they will fly just the same ,try it .The first 5 primary feathers must be cut to the growing point or pulled out .The latter encourages regrowth quicker incidently .

    MY advice would be to stay away from a second hand .22 and buy new !.
