    Is there anybody on here who is old enough to remember the euston system?,[spelling].The rearing of pheasants by large scale broody hens .I can remember the local estate just finishing with it .It was the underkeepers jobs to shoot rabbits by the hundreds to be boiled down for feed and added to corn .The hens were kept in small boxes and tethered individually to feed .The fronts of the boxes ,if I remember right ,were slatted to let chicks out to scratch about but not big enough to let the hen wander with them . Very labour intensive as someone had to be there 24-7 to kill vermin and shut ch

    If its a job your after mate then forget keepering ,its a way of life 24-7.

    My thinking is that its half instinct and half reaction to ourselves.The way we react when seeing something or dare I say it ,thinking something ,has a large bearing on what my dogs will or wont chase .For those of you that stick to the same walking route ,try this .Think about turning a different way long before you get there and see what happens .Might just be me and my pack ? When lamping and theres more than one quarry sat together ,think of one specific one and then slip the dog ?. Done right ,the bond between human and dog is stronger than any other .

    About to turn in for the night when a commotion in the bushes by our chalet drew my attention .The only light I had was the phone so couldnt make out much until I got right up to it .A pair of hedgehogs were at it good style .No tentative embraces for this lad .They were both making a hissing noise accompanied by screams from her!Pervertion got the better of me and I watched until they finished I thought they would then seperate and go their seperate ways but he followed her maybe hoping for seconds ,I dont know .I went in for a bowl of milk and a slice of bread for a light refreshment for

    Holiday break near Tenby,Wales .Ive never been one to sit on the beach so- These crabs were found at the low water mark and emerge from the sand to filter feed the debri on the water line .The sexes are different in that the female has shorter claws ,found one egg bound.They are a seagull delicacy as was evident by the empty shells and the gulls caught in the act.I think they are a type of spider crab but no doubt someone will know .They are very active away from water and scuttle up and down the waters edge . The prawns were big enough to eat ,had there been enough

    In my book foxes are shot whenever I get the opportunity , its about fox control not sport These foxes were shot on a small pheasant shoot where the shoot captain was very pleased , every nesting hen pheasant or partridge saved is a real bonus to them. Here we go again .Shoot the fecking lot then no-one can moan about sport .Well done mate .You;ll catch up with my tally in no time

    Nice going mate .Cracking muntie there .Hope your not expecting that sort of quality down here ,lol. Talk soon . Foxdropper .
  21. Squirrel_Basher
    And youve never been bit by holding them by the back legs and tail only -or did you have your weight on the rest of them ,maybe .
  22. Squirrel_Basher

    If this is not a wind up and I dont think it is then this fella is working against what the majority of us are striving for -a single handed genuine worker .Another member assures us this is commen practise?What the f++k is happening to our little gladiators.Ive shot better terriers than this twat has ever seen thats for sure .Makes me savage to think of the damage they are doing to the working terrier . Any young members reading this hopefully will see the light and disregard this prick .
  24. Squirrel_Basher
    Picture the scene -Read this and mouth dropped ajar .Couldnt think of anything to say to pursuade this twat otherwise so will hand over to someone else .
  25. Squirrel_Basher
    Doubled up is not fine in any situation.Your mangled dog day will come .I hope not but by the sound of it you work this way every outing so.........Take it from those who know better mate .
