    I went out with the terriers last season to check some earths and crags, we got a big dog fox early on but none of the other places held. Almost back to the farm when the terriers marked a hollow tree(alder) the fox was about 12 feet up inside the hollow trunk, in the end it was my cocker spaniel that climbed up and drew a huge old vixen!!

    I was given the same advice, and im glad I listened, theres so much to learn, and it can only be learned through experience. Get out, help out, observe and learn! Good luck

    Yes rabbit is good for stir fry, especially the saddle! Ive never stir fried duck as I usually roast them and pick every last bit off the bones! Pigeon is BRILLIANT in a stir fry, delicious,(woodies not skemmies)!! But ive recently taken to deep frying young bunnies, just wap the skin off and hoy em in whole! yum yum!!!!!

    Ha ah ha!! Yeah I no what you mean! and belive me ive tried many things, the best of which was fishcakes as its the only way to get all the bones, but you no that smell they have :sick: You can never really get rid of it :sick: Oh and theres no shortage of pike up here at all!! But theres none(or very little) in the river, just loads in the larger lakes and reservoirs.

    Ive kept hens for about 5 years now. Had loads of different breeds, the thing is, I try a lot of 'growing my own' eaters, and was wondering if others do the same?? I have allways eaten my young cockerels as its a bloody shame to waste them, but there not great, and theres not a lot of meat. So I started crossing my layers with my game birds and Ive produced some great tasting meat! I usually eat the males and keep the females for further experimentation! Well Ive mated these to an Orpington cockerel and im sure ive found the holy grail of all chicken!! There big, meaty, and great tasting! Anyo

    Hello, Well I hope you have the problem sorted. Just thaught Id add a bit on the subject of egg thieves. When I was keepering an estate down the valley from me, I watched over several wild grey partridge nests. I soon realised (due to pieces of shell a few feet away) that one of the nests was being raided, but whatever was doing it wasnt putting the brooding bird off. I couldnt get my head round it?? Until one morning when the culprit must have taken the last eggs during the previous night and the birds had abandoned the nest. I examined the nest and found a tunnel comming up from underneath t

    Ive just started in my garden. Early potatoes, peas, and onions(sets). Im on an exposed site now so Im not sure if they'll do much yet, we had snow two days ago! Ive got my fingers crossed.

    Aye those whippets are strong looking dogs. Ive noticed 'Glen' here and there, and havent heard a bad thing about that line, exactly the sort of thing i'll be looking for. It will be the summer time when I will have new kennels for the dogs and the space for my new member. There must be good workers from other lines out there? Thanks to al for the help
  13. dogs-n-natives
    Yep! Its the only squeeker I used when I was young. They do work. Theres also a slightly bigger brass one, which I think makes a better sound and it can go round your neck. Good luck

    thats the best for them mate every two weeks panacur from two weeks old the liquid is the best do the pup every two weeks till 12weeks old then every three or four months or as requied I agree, I use the liquid panacur aswell and from 2 weeks. It works a treat, just mix it with some scraped meat, or scrambled egg.

    Hello all! I am after some help with choosing a whippet. Theres a lot of different looking stuff out there, some roach backed some not, some big some small. What are the best lines to go for. Has anybody got any pics of working whippets? Ive heard of Sooty Sam, apparently this was an excellent dog, which thew cracking pups- anyone got a whipet from these lines? The whippet will need to have the phisique to enable it to work daily and will be used mainly for rabbiting, day and night, but I also hope to run it with our bobbery pack, of spaniel, hound and terrier crosses from time to time. Any he

    FUNNY! But I earn a good wage for my age, so im happy, very happy! And im not changing my prices, not yet anyway. Oh and like I said, its £4 per mole. Its only £3.50 on the allotment ground as theres so many of them, and its so easy to catch hundreds of them very quickly.
  17. dogs-n-natives
    So are you saying if you went and caught a single mole for a client...........you would just charge £3.50 Rolfe. On farmland I charge per mole, Ive never had a farmer ring me and ask me to come and clear his 'ONE' mole from his land. I catch over 200 moles a week and sometimes a lot more. Theres plenty of them up here. This week I caught 2 moles in a paddock, and 5 from a caravan site, these jobs were charged 'per job'. Any other trappers on here charge per mole?
  18. dogs-n-natives
    £3.50 per mole ? is that what youre saying ? Yes! And thats on the cheep side. What you hmmming at??? Most of the trappers up here charge per mole. I charge less on the edge of the fell as there is always a stream of moles comming down off the fells, there a nightmare for the hill farmers, who are generally less well off than the low grounders, hence £3.50.
  19. dogs-n-natives
    Im a pest controller, mole trapping is the bulk of my work. And in particular, farmland. Private gardens and comercial grounds I charge per job. But for the farmers I charge per mole. Its the best way, the farmer allways gets what he pays for then, and you should have a customer for life. £3.50 on allotment land(bordering the fell) and £4. all other agricultural land. If your down south you could easy charge 5 or even 6 quid per head.

    Years ago, I couldnt handle one of my dads curries one night, so I gave it to his sheepdog. Wey, no sooner had he finished it, it was on its way out Not good!!

    Like scent, I use them when the rabbits are getting lamp shy. I also found that red and amber are best for a lamp shy fox or rabbit.
