Well done mate,been thinking how you got on today and looks like you were having better fun than me felling a tree at the mother in laws.Remember that camera on friday and new batteries lol.
-
Well done and keep at them mate,getting a few and the birds roost that bit safer tonight.
-
As it goes stevie most of the pullies are above terrier hight and just about all of the rats bolt away from the thresher so it's quite safe for them,i brushed up against one of the wheels yesterday and scarred the sh*t out myself as once they get you they get you good and proper.As for Nick doing some work he got a sweat on for sure and the dust from a threshing session has to be seen to be belived,still good to be involved with it all and a real look into how things used to be done.One of the reasons the kids missed school was not just for the ratting but to show them a real part of history w

Don't let the tw*ts dampen your day mate and well done on getting some sport and well done for tidying up someone elses mess,how hard is it really to leave things tidy ffs?.
-
A day out a old school farm who still does things the old way saw us running a few terriers at some rats whilst they were threshing out a rick,things were very quiet to start with but the kids and the pup occupied themselves catching mice until the rats appeared and appear they did but they had us worried for a bit as the rick was almost gone before they did show.We had a loose count up at the end and got the 100 mark with the rats and half a bucket of mice,the white russell was new to the game but got stuck in and soon learned to bite harder lol.The plummer pup wasn't let go on big rats as he

Poorly attended at Rougham as well and just a pegged out ring on the edge of of an airfield with a burger bar,waiste of time to be honest and that bloke i was stood next can talk some sh*te and he was so short he would have had a 3rd leg for it to true.
-
A lad who used to be on here was a keeper and they had an artic run to ground by a terrier and has it stuffed,it had escaped from somewhere and being keepers it was clased as vermin and delt with.
-
Well done again Mooska and penny's pup looks a cracker(smooth pup winner) as well,i went to the rougham show and wished i hadn't bothered,met a few nice folks but had to listen to a my cocks bigger than yours fella stood by the ring all day.Well done all and wish i had gone there instead.
-
Have to say i let some lads onto a bit of mine and got burnt,but saying that i've done the same since and been respected by other lads,been onto others ground and never thought about ever going back without them.It's nearly as bad as having your misses done by one of your mates when you get fecked over after trying to help someone out.
-
Well Terrie and Wild Rover i myself like i say ain't complaining how she's coming on and the other pups are coming on well as well as far as i know,entering to retrieving bigger stuff solo and with help.She hunts and chases in silence but will growl at people and dogs no matter how near or far they are from me out in the field,someone would be doing well to sneek up on me out and about ,took her ferreting for the first time over the weekend and she did very well marking up and catching a bolted bunnie.She's learning the lamping game and will retrieve feather day or night as well,if she carrie
-
They've been know to have been mistaken for a duck in the gloom of evening flight ,these old boys need spec savers!.
-
They can sure help in retrieving a long ear or two(3 of the 9 and the most bunnies that day) though and even get there first on one,faster than she looks(white bitch on left of pic)and at nearly 11 months is doing well in all i've asked and i ain't complaining .
-
There was a otter trust center near Bungay and when that closed a few were released localy and they have caused havock with the local fishing lakes,double figure fish being found half eaten and to be honest i've met a few old boys who have slipped a 410 into there rod bags when out fishing to try to protect the fish stocks.Was even asked by one baliff to walk a pond or two with the terriers to look for a holt,but i declined of course..
-
Don't agree with it what so ever but i'll bet there's enough lads on here who will have a course on old ginny and leave the game in a ditch in the name of match money, sport or not wanting to be caught with it in the motor,i find plenty of rabbits left in fields to rot by shooters as well.Just because it's a different colour don't make it any worse than any of what i've seen,a waisted life is a waisted life.
-
The fmtc rep used to go to brome just outside diss once every other month or so,could be a good idea you have to have like minded folk meet up.Know a few lads who would maybe come and meet up,maybe even get out with their dogs to.
-
Keeping busy mate,well done.
-
If you want a terrier then either the russell or a plummer,i know of plummers doing all the jobs from ferreting dogs,working alongside nets be they long or purse to picking up on shoots,to ratting and digging.Not all will do all but most can cover a lot of what you want.The patt,lakie and border can be a little headstrong for working alongside hawks and ferrets,not saying they can't but on the whole they can be hard work.Your'll get a good lurcher doing all you want and as for the established breeds like the gsp,spaniel etc well they've been doing it all for years.As for tryin to buy a pup nea

Well you tried Lass seems a lot wouldn't,i spent a good hour chasing one back in the summer with a broken wing through a thick hedgerow and trying to keep the dogs from joining in.Poor fecker had the bone spintered through it's skin so had to do the deed,would have nursed that back if i could have.I have to say it's wings look pretty on the wall of my shed though.

An old pic of my court but still keeping them warm and dry with plenty of exercise room,it has a 6x4 shed on the back of it with open hutches and sleeping boxes in.One the front as you can see is a plastic roofing sheet to keep out the rain,worth remembering when building your own courts,rain don't always just fall straight down.
-
Don't know you mate but all the very best and get well soon,hospitals ain't no substitute for a cold windswept hill sat waiting for ages for a reluctant bunnie to shift as the grounds to hard to dig now are they?.
-
On the right of the pic,one of a mates of mine just come a year old and had a hand in most of the retrieves and a few by him self that day.
-
Nick will have the lot?,his working pest control this year,

Dumbo dan, i recon he has 2 balls in front of his eyes due to him being a right nob head.

Grand pics mate and the law in this country is an arse.
