    If its ducks for shooting you want to attract then dont plant anything which will get too high .Ducks like a clear view in and out on at least one side.A screen of hedge plants would be better ,planted at the end of next winter to catch the growing season , 2 rows ,18 inches apart.For shooting this winter an alternative is to grow a strip of maize round the plantings to act as a screen while the hedge whips grow .

    A pleasure to be out with someone who knows the game,respects it and is safety consious.Glad you enjoyed it .180 lb of venison there mate.The largest went 48 and the smallest 34 The game dealer was as pleased as I was .lol.

    Just a footnote to say that not many full time keepers will have the luxury to sit and post at this or any other time of year .FROM EXPERIENCE.

    Just a question mate ,but are you feeding dry food ?.

    Fecking disgrace .Hope cruelty wont be mentioned in the same breath as control from the stupid b*****ds . Dont know how the farmer/vet could keep his cool at the end of that vid .

    Not bad I suppose, lol.Hope that run of good luck extends to your stay down here mate ?

    Results .No broken bones as I thought but the muscle is wasted badly .The chap reckons the bird has been like it some time .Dilemer[spelling] now is whether to keep it as a non flyer or destroy it as captivity is no place for a wild bird that cannot fly .

    One of the most satisfying ways to control jays and corvids in general ,is to call from inside a wood ,partly concealed.You need some skill at producing a rabbit squeal as you would when foxing !.Corvids cannot resist coming to investigate a squeal ,just to mob the predator thats apparently responsible .Dont hide too well as you need to raise the shot gun as the bird is coming in on the wing ,just as they are about to land is best. Wait till they settle in a tree and youv'e blown it as they will spot the movement and be off out the back door .Corvids and birds in general find it hard to focus

    You need to stop the dog from scratching it mate and the neck is the worst place to stop this .Try a funnel collar .Plaster the red area with suda cream [nappy rash stuff ].This will reduce the reddening and start the healing .Keep using in smaller amounts until healed .May be a long time before hair grows back .The mite jab probably a good thing but be polite and refuse any after cream as its expensive from a vet and will contain nothing that is not in suda cream .Good luck .

    Just a thought and I hope it dosnt worry you further but is there any chance there could be a small water leak above you [if you are top floor then sorry ].Bulbs dont exsplode through wiring problems ,the element goes and keep going every time its replaced .Water on a hot bulb makes them explode like that .Hope you get sorted .

    V-max.Is the vid straight off the digi camera or cam-corder mate .Please explain to a technical idiot like myself ,how to get them on here .Can it be down through image shack ?Nice work mate .

    Brians stuff of old was definately bigger than whats around today and was also more EASILY ENTERED to earth work.Todays stuff is notorious for late starting ,which is where a lot of lads come unstuck and slag the type off .The work is still in them aplenty you just need to know a bit about terriers to get the best out of them .I've kept the type for 25 years plus so I know a bit on this subject .I hope people are put off by the late starters about now and leave it to people who know what they are doing . Foxdropper .

    Are you lads saying you poached them . No seriously ,fair play .lol.

    In one of my positions as a keeper years ago ,I was underkeeper to an arogant,self centred ,tight headkeeper who insisted we did the lamping his way .Not that he came with us ,he just set out the route and we had to stick to it or face a public bollicking in front the boss who knew no better and was afraid of the headkeeper .The foxes soon got used to the frequency of these outings and the route we always took .We shot a few foxes of course but me and the other chap both new we could do much better . What we decide on was to drive the quad near his house at the times he would expect us to pa

    Somebody must have one doing feck all somewhere ?

    I used to leave them too until I had one go badly wrong and end in a t.b infection which was ,to say the least very expensive .Rat bites need cleaning out with some sort of antiseptic for which I now use hibiscrub .
  22. Squirrel_Basher
