Blue tooth attachment in the back of the computer,send pics off phone to it .Transfer to disc .Sounds easy but the blue tooth installation is not recommended by microsoft and therefore needs updating from the instalation disc every time I use it . Card reader better

Definately worth a consideration.

Any pics of bird in action mate .

Crossed with a yappy russel so you know where it is when it bolts before the fox does - :11: :11: :11:

If I knew what that meant Id probably agree . :11:

Complete foods are a direct result of todays lazy culture .Buy it in a bag ,tin ,frozen .Most of us havent the time to deal with raw feeds or the inclination to source it and store it .IMO the problem with complete is its too easy to pour out a bowl full and think the dogs getting everything it needs .A high protein diet is not the answer for all year round feeding as different work loads require different amounts of protein to sustain and repair muscle etc .Less active periods of say height of summer require only maintenance feeding .Dogs find it hard to deal with excess protein and it is thi

The best time for these traps has come and gone mate .Odd ones and twos can be caught in the autumn but the killing time is in the spring when the birds are territorial and will not telerate others in their patch .Used to be lawful to over-winter a call bird for use as a start in the spring but not 100% on that now .

Grow up fox-dropper, you prat. :realmad: Can you not let the man rest in peace? What do you get out of slagging a dead person off? SATISFACTION.You like many others only knew what you did about the man through his books.Slagging off-Feck me .The man spent a lifetime of slagging off working dog men to promote the" ultimate"terrier .

Foxdropper ........Good shooting What hardware are you using ?........i see your not tempted to put a mod on your rifle or is one pending I know it can be frustrating having a permission overlamped .........One of mine is subject to the so called dog walking brigade with a lightforce and all the diffusers ..........Unlike the above situation these have no right to be on this land and as a result i now shoot on it at the crack of Dawn . Mate-Its a .222 ,brno CZ.The moderator thing has, until recently never been an issue but with todays climate and attitude to shooting ,the var

Look at it this way mate -You are hopefully breeding a first class worker and as such deserves to be worked and tested to the full to ensure the next generation are also workers.Those sold into pet homes may not be up to the job but may one day sire or give birth to terriers sold as 100% dogs .If they are shown at working terrier shows and do well then certain elements will ask to breed from these non workers and so on . The old belief that you can bring in blood from a terrier related to a 100% worker but which is non proven , does not in my book hold up in reality .Wastage is never ruled o

Im afraid so Molly .Feedback is what we need to make sure we are doing right in the breeding .Ratting ,bushing is alright but not what we breed for .Dont get me wrong ,I enjoy a ratting session but the digging game is IMO the reason to put stayer across stayer .Most second rate earth dogs will perform at the above ground stuff but the real deal is needed to work consistantly below .
-
Personally ,and this is just my opinion,I would never let a working dog go to a non-working home.Breed when we need them,pick what suits and put down any surplus down .Swap a pup from time to time but never accept money or expect to pay it .
-
So I could be in for a double -footed and bit .The .410 for both might be the answer .

Know the feeling .Place I do ,we go round on the quad and we can always expect to see a fox in one particular spot every outing in the corner of a field which leads onto the neighbours land which I also have.The fox stands for a second and then retreats through the hedge .Its day will come as there are plans to put in a hunt gate between the 2 farms .At the moment we have to ride down the road to get onto the next patch but if the gate is opened at the start of the night and the shot gun on board we will have it . On the subject of shy foxes it sometimes pays to get someone sqeeking loud

Around us its down to the early bird ! The most I shot in a night was 10 near Brise Norton.The most I have been part of was 18 shot on a newly set up estate in Glostershire,mind you they were green as green .

Looks to me as if the border is alive and doing well in your hands mate .Keep it up .
-
So thats a yes then !Only Ive had an invite to go out and lamp with the lad and owl .Its my squeeking talents hes after [i hope ].Will post any results .Cheers .
-
Thats just greedy mate :11: .Nice going .
-
Yes mate a cub.3 litters were born here that I know of but only a few will see a terrier this winter .
-
Feck me -This is surely the long way around trapping a mink .They are the most trap obliging creatures ever to be labelled vermin .Put that cage trap inside 4 pallets tied together.One pallet on top will stop anything from getting at the trap .Sort yourself out D.S.Fish for bait ,the smellier the better.Hope to see a pic of a dead mink soon . :sick:

If you were to start a plummers appreciation society , you could hold your AGMs in a phone box .Bet they had to saw 10 inches off his nose to get him in the coffin .Pinnochio through and through . :realmad:
-
Sorry lads ,I did not make it clear .I know its a loophole in the hunting act but the lad in charge of the owls reckons they take fox .I would like your opinions as to whether or not they will .Any experiences? .
-
The lamp and shot gun not a problem mate ,its the continual lamping and squeeking that is the problem.
-
After youve put all those toys back in the pram mate -there are good borders about that will work anything and stay so dont categories so easily .You may not be new to the digging game but you certainly dont know it all .
-
Have you thought about getting someone to walk the wood out to you .This needs to be done by people who know what they are doing .On the other hand patience has paid off for you and a good result .
