    Something dont fit right with the questions here . Anti maybe .

    I may be proved wrong by some of the more knowledgeable stalkers on here but fallow are nomads ,following food sources and exscaping pressure .We have herds around us that travel an mile radius .Individuals are known by colour in each herd but can be spotted anywhere within that radius .

    One thing chief-No one can accuse you of sitting on the fence and thats an admireable quality in my book . Good hunting to you and yours Foxdropper.

    QUOTE FROM YOU -"I keep terriers for what they were originally for and nothing else so I see no benefit in showing them anything else quarry wise until they are ready in every way for their intended vocation ". Your words ,your reference to it . Just thought you might have thoughts on dogs entered this way being inferior....................?

    This is without doubt ,THE best post of all time and silences all but those who know better .

    CHIEF -We both know the defintion of REAL terrier work but are you saying that a terrier that is entered via small fry will never make the grade of the true working tyke or is it a bit blinckered on your side .

    Its got nothing to do with time of year, more likely your your technique in squeaking and with going over the same ground too often.You have to vary a squeak if you do the same ground week after week,along with different filters .Try holding the attention of a fox with a loud sqeak while you stalk in closer .

    nothing but would you like to eat the same thing day in day out if a dog eats to much meat it can effect his running i.e to much protien Deerhoundworking -You are thinking too much mate .Dogs unlike ourselves ,thrive on a regular diet of MEAT,MEAT,MEAT .Its the amount of meat you need to adjust in the diet and not remove it altogether. Off seasons are not excuses to feed the dogs a poorer diet ,just cut down the ration to maintenance. Too much excess protein is wasted on a dog that s not working and passes out the back end ,stressing the kidneys if fed to extreme.

    Personally ,and tentatively because Ive been brought to book on this before ,you cant beat the SIGHT of a pure greyhound on puss .The exsplosive burst of muscle and snapping strike is what coursing is about.

    Good going Frank .

    Mole-catcher .You are right there mate.Coursing was the casualty, no doubt about it .The way I see it is that we all know that the tories look after the nobs ,the landowners ,the gentry and if they are doing well ,there is a knock on effect down to the lowliest builder like myself .More work for my blokes ,more time for me in the countryside ,sorted .

    Shot this vixen whilst out with the .222 last night .It came flying in to a squeak and I could see things were a bit out of sorts as it had the creamy glow in the lamp beam .Weve been lucky about these parts for a long time now,due in no small part to the amount of control carried out .I hate seeing them like this and had almost forgotten what it looked like .This one was called from off a tip where mange was very bad 5 years ago.She was barren . Incidently ,this is my 39th fox since christmas day ,how are you lads doing ? The numbers always seem to swell about now, around us,and mostly vixe

    Got to agree with that Millet .The old boy that got me started on most of my hunting used to wreck a small warren with his liner ferret and cord ,a job which requires a single neat hole nowadays.Also the time factor has crept into ferretting nowadays in that people like decent bags of rabbits and as such ,like to keep the ferts moving. Lets not get all nostalgic about bygone ferreting as you can bet that had collars been around then the old boys of yesteryear would have used them as every rabbit was a shilling in the pocket when wages were bad .Anybody CHOOSING to enter a ferret without a coll

    The few times Ive looked in there ,I was amazed at how fast things went on ,beyond me .

    Im no expert on the subject but I do know that roe dont use the same beds time after time and will often scrape new ones along side if they sleep in the area again .

    Excellent account mate .Just as a slight change but still on topic ,they say theres been sightings of raccoons in England .Hopefully they will spread and provide sport for us .

    I use the .222 only because thats what I was brought up with.Same results as the other calibres really,carcass wise.I prefer to get them in close so dont know at what range the .222 will still perform .

    Ive found that a nice tight bush accelerates the firing of some of the larger tools .
