    Last year.No one else to blame but meself,didn't shut a cage properly.Had that"worried,panicky, sicky feeling "straight away. Photo-copied notes to the neighbours,rang the usual suspects .Searched ,called,placed cage-traps. Ten days later at dawn little sandy face appears from under my shed.Fat as a piggy(I suspect a diet of hedgehogs ).Don't know if she'd been around all along or just found her way home.I've chickens and so have a neighbour but even they had'nt drawn her out. So ,keep hoping and looking.The best of luck.

    Peter was desperate to try out his new "Thread-line "outfit.

    There's a feeling bass anglers get when they look to the West ...

    Two Newcastle brown bottle tops araldited together to to form a hollow disc.Drill hole one sixteenth of an inch or so through the middle and blow (exhale ) gently.If ,before you glue em together, you trap a loop of string between the caps you can attach a cord which leaves hands free for the rifle.Not original but very cheap.

    just a bit.I mean even if it had been an empty display pack i was going to offer him a quid just as a collectors thing.Even he could'nt remember it there was anything in the box he had'nt handled it for so long.I wonder if Deben will honour the warranty if it goes wrong.

    Worked like stink this morning because we'd arranged a sea-fishing trip in the afternoon.Driving to the coast could,nt help notice the trees swaying.Sure enough by the time we'd grouped on the quayside a very ill-wind was blowing.Skipper said it was'nt dangerous but it would be unpleasant and hard to fish.Wind against tide n all that nautical stuff. Fishing cancelled we masochisticly trolled to the nearest tackle shop to stroke the shiny things..."What the Hell is this doing on a ferret site?",you may ask. While the others fondled the silky contours of the rods in what to me appeare

    Worth asking the Green Keeper of your local golf course. Mine came from a pile of broken fibre-glass flag poles in a skip .Along with a battery from a crashed Golf buggy.

    Far as I know 410 adapters are not that rare.Chap who used to come on fox shoots had one .The walking Guns were allowed to shoot rabbits while obviously the Standers stayed quiet for a fox.Often X would cry, "Hold the line".He'd spotted another squatter in the brambles ,range 10 feet.This was because he'd forgotten to put his 410 converter into one of his 12 bore barrels before the drive.Cue hurried unloading ,rumaging in pocket for adapter and reloading .Rabbit rewarded for its patience ...If I remember it sounded like a .410 going off I 've heard 28 bore adapters are available but they ar

    The 've been" taken out of season" which normally happens by being mated . The result of mating is normally a litter.The ferret's hormones are fooling it into thinking she's mated and had a litter.Her instincts to drag wandering babies back to the nest have been transfered to retrieving her unfortunate adult cage-mate.As has been said let em get on with it but be if the surrogate "baby" is too brow-beaten or becomes too raw round the neck separation for a while is the fairest solution.

    ....Maybe one, amongst many, reasons they do it IS as some sort of bonding behaviour.Take the smell of rotten hedgehog back to the pack--spend all afternoon in social grooming ....Dirty little attention-seekers.

    It might be true that the offspring revert to green after a few generations.Would certainly make sense considering that one would've thought that the few golden ones must be at risk of being geneticly overpowered by the green genes.That's even before considering vulnerability to predators. About thirty years ago I saw a tiny golden tench caught from this pond .The lads who caught the old girl in the picture reckoned she was 4lb s but I'd say more like two n half to three.A good size for the pond though.Difficult to say if she was some sort of throw-back to Victorian times when the ponds

    Didn't know if I should put this in fishing section but sooooo pretty! Walking the dogs on land owned by a friend .Came round corner to find two very sheepish lads fishing the farm pond. Some fishing is allowed but the owner rigerously enforces the old Close Season .So fishing in the Close Season ,without permission on land designated an SSI.They were polite lads, suitably apologetic,there was no litter.So what did I do?....Told em to carry-on just for the evening but get permisssion before coming back....On the understanding they let me photogragh this golden tench they'd caught....

    If I was a dog why would I roll in smelly substances?. To cover meself in predator stench so I can creep up on prey . Makes perfect sense ...Not! But to cover meself in predator stench so that a herd of prey animals will notice me and instinctivly come towards me out of a mixture of curiosity and desire to threaten and chase me away.Hence present an oppertunity for a kill to be made by me or one of my pack-members ... Maybe. Roll in rival predator spoor to mask the rival's scent and replace it with my own as a warn

    Thanks for this great post .I've been hearing about these kits and keep thinking (a dangerous pastime for me..thinking), "I wonder". Your not on commission are you ? Joking. Thanks again

    My BRNO (CZ) with Parker Hale moderater,definatly is a touch more consistant with Eleys ,Winchesters are a reasonable and universally available second .CCI just don't seem to work in the old girl.On the rare occasion I use them High velocity Remington as someone else mentioned seem good.

    I have the original instruction sheet but to be honest all you need to do is whatTHE ONE said.Make sure whoever hides it remembers where it is in case something goes wrong. Mk 1 works most accuratly when the bottom of the grey box is pointing directly at the top (inside edge)of the transmitter on the collar (the transmitter must hang under the ferret's chin not on top of its' neck.) Lay the collar on the floor or on a long table a few feet away from the box.Turn the dial on the box up to full sensitivity..Point the base of the grey box at collar from several feet away move closer until

    Some Bolt-action rifles with full length stocks resemble the military arms of yesteryear yet they are now regarded as being totally acceptable, traditional-style hunting tools.A synthetic stock is now seen as a sensible option rather than a slightly naff feature of budget guns. On that basis it seems illogical to frown on cammo patterns,thumb-holes or other martial -looking features providing they are truly functional . Faced with a .22 r/f BRNO bolt action or a Remington Viper ( Off the top of my head ,showing me age ,any still out there?)who could honestly say which action ow

    Carp turn-up even in the fast tidal stretches of the Sussex rivers.It can be scary ,tackled- up with bream or roach gear when one picks up the bait.They don't seem fussy about presentation and seem to have a thing about bread-flake and worms .Maybe they've become used to snapping up the food before the current whisks it away. A bunch of rather serious chaps do specialise in them and use modern bait n wait tactics.They catch some good ones but to me it somehow seems a bit alien to use electronics and be so bivvy-bound when there are miles of wild river to explore. They probably regard people

    " Cuchulains Lament " could turn me to jelly to this day! " Warm, Sweet Breath of Love ". God, the memories! Here? Well, talk about a f*cking coincidence! Look what I spotted in a shop window yesterday!!! Guess where I'll be going! Coincidence to the point of spookyness!

    Is there any dog

    comanche replied to a topic in General Talk

    Of course . :wallbash:He'd use the pretty bubble -perm boy as bait , smash the greasy gladiators and thus qualify himself for a job as Centurian to the 15th Regiment Roman special forces(C15).Wait a minute ,C15 ...That was a 60's motorbike.Picture the scene .Thousands of unit -construction BSA's crucified along the Apian way while Bodie,Doyle and a host of large dogs writhe in a bloody mass with leopards and wolverines.....Whilst the late Gorden Jackson looks on enigmaticly.
