    The first pic is of a fallow mate ,a yearling too .Roughly 2-3 hours behind it ..The pic with your hand is a fallow too but a poor condition beast ,possibly old ..Roughly a day behind it . .Both deer walking .On damp soil such as this ,a deer running shows a forward slide and a backward divet of earth as it left the hoof . .Deer naturally spread the hoof on damp ground .The first pic looks to be an over trod mark onto another ,larger beast ,but not made together . The droppings are fallow mate too .Good tracking .

    A mental note has been made of who I would and would not spend a day with . :11: I agree with those who want a terrier for earth work only.Coupled til the time is deemed right by myself and not a free ranging terrier .Ratting necetates terriers off the lead but can still end in dogs getting to ground in places freshly dug out .IMO a terrier wanted for bushing only should be discouraged from going to ground .Ive seen terriers in the beating line that I have dug to and Ive cringed as we aproach a known place ,woundering if the dog will obey its master or not .Terriers on couples are not just th

    12-bore ,good allround shot gun from snipe to the mighty canada goose .Try a few for fit mate .Dont worry about the name .You can learn to shoot with the lowly baikal ,then move to a better model as funds allow .

    NUTTALL... MIDDLETON...RESPECTING THERE DOGS AS WORKERS??????YOUR HAVING A LAUGH MATE!!!!!!!!!! And what type ,breed of dog do you work ,respect ?.

    I think the original question was about fashion ?. Look how quickly a thread turns into " my dog does this "and my dog does that ".Stick to the question or start another thread .The bullx is not the brightest but would have a higher I.Q than most on here .

    You must live next door to Eddie then . :11:

    You'd have thought it would of been one of the big killers though ,tagged by a cobra or drowned by a nile croc,not stung by a sting ray .Perhaps complacency got the better in the end ?.Very entertaining shows though .

    Any body going .

    i could be someone off this site sick to death of looking at pictures of dead foxes Or jealous members who never the chance to photograph a fox dead or alive . :11: :11:

    Cub hunting in Dorset Saturday. Meet was 6.00 am on a drizzly,windy morning .Hounds moved off on exercise which took them through a patch of maize out the back of kennels .By accident they roused a brace and a half of foxes which were soon on the move .Huntsmen upped the pace of the exercise which took hounds in a similar direction to the last fox out of cover .Hounds played hide and seek with the fox for a while before the fox wanted to play no more and found a dry bury to get in out the rain which was now heavy .Unfortunately ,he had chose a bury in pheasant country which meant he was now le

    The bull thing is hopefully a fashion thing -there has been an upsurge in muscled dogs for the show ring and these seem to be winning .When the fashion is over ,and it will end ,then the boys that work these dogs can get on without being pestered for pups .Rough coats turn next I feel .

    Nelson -Are you 100% sure both parents are Nuttal bred mate .Any pics of dam/sire .

    Fact -Shepp ,you are right .No law against trespass .Its the trespass with intent that they have to prove . Walking a dog at night with a lamp is not a criminal offence unless you are caught ,seen to be running anything on land you havent got permission .In the past its been hard enough to convince the law that I have permission ,even with written permission .

    Only joking mate .You keep at it .

    Starlings do the flock thing just before roost around us ,thousands of them swarm into a row of evergreens and chatter most of the night .Due to, I think, the closeness of street lights.On some shoots around us they organise a shoot to disuade the birds from roosting in certain woods as they make hell of a mess and supposedly put pheasants off roosting .Saw a sparrow hawk diving into a flock once whilst roost shooting but he drew a blank from what I saw as the flock split in two at every attack .

    Wish Id seen this earlier .You could of dealt with it yourself mate [if you were that way inclined that is] Its a build up of cell fluid and antibodies like you said .The inner membrane between skin and muscle has ruptured and the bodies way is to pile fluid at it .A small drain hole made at the bottem and a sterile drip tube, taped to shaved skin would have cleared this up .Salt water wash every day x2. Hope it wasnt too expensive .

    Why didnt you say it was a feral then Mucky .After thought !

    Foxhunter-If you see a fox coming towards you in what I call a 3/4 fashion,leave your mate where he is and then work the wind yourself mate .Shuffle over to intercept .A fox very rarely changes a 3/4 route .Do not squeak again yourself but let your mate carry on .Try it !.

    Patrick-I know what your saying mate but my argument is as Stabs said ,why go outside the gene pool to further dilute a strain of working terrier when there are cracking examples within each type .Its just a matter of putting the feelers out to find it .Personally I would not buy or except a cross breed as Im a bit of a purist when looking for a suitable outcross within the breed I work .I say this at the risk of being slammed as I know the blacks have from time to time ,had additions to the make up .There are no reasons I can think of at all for not striving to better the breed you keep by br

    Ditch -You are turning into a bit of an anorak mate .Flower spotting ,is this a ploy to coverse with the female members or a spell of finding your own feminine side . :11:
