    Cheers for sharing all these excellent pics with us, simply awesome stuff! When I was a partridge keeper on a large hill shoot, these birds were the bane of my life... seeing them hunting is incredible, and the way they hurl themselves at cover etc just beggars belief. Ive seen peregrines hunting many times and yes its a canny sight, but for me the gos is the one, as they are a master of all trades, and seem to have a kamakazi do or die attitude, yet come out of it in one piece (unlike prey!) keep them coming!

    Alreet First fox drives were a good success for our youngster cross-breds, spaniel/terriers at 8 months.... U.G's bitch is a real looker aswell, whereas mine is an ugly, hairy, timid little freak, hopefully he will come out of his shell once he gets out with the rest of the pack some day. Still, it was a good do, the pups learnt the scent of a fox, and we made a landowner very happy too! U.G's Bitch Ill get some up of my wee dog, and the older entered bitch soon, it would be great to see Cotswolds dog, he was a cracking little character when he was a pup! And thanks fo

    Ive just got to add that I wouldnt be digging more than a couple of feet for a rabbit, and i dont bother in the hedge bottoms etc... feck that, i do enough digging to the dogs! The ferrets i keep will come away from a rabbit after a short time, i dont like the ones that keep you waiting.
  13. dogs-n-natives
    I simply dont have the time to be waiting half an hour, id be digging well before that. I get payed to clear rabbits in numbers, also sell spares to game dealer and butchers etc Personally, when the ferret is killing a rabbit in the burry, il locate it and dig it out, as I wouldnt want to miss out on the carcass, as every one counts for me. No good waiting around doing nothing, as my ferrets will soon leave the rabbit once it has been dispatched, and move on to find others in the burry.

    I would get the rides done in the drives about a week before your birds will be fed there. wont have had time to go stale.. hand feeding ex-layers is pretty much a waste of time, but the straw will still help to hold them where you want them right enough.

    Bollocks, ive seen wee terriers with sheep in tatters(and dead) in a matter of munites. Any type of dog can rip sheep up, there not exactly hard to catch are they..... but i suppose you know best, after all you do feed your dogs sheep hearts :crazy:

    I think that if the dog (when entered) is working its intended game to a high standard then.... that, makes a good lurcher.

    I like your idea of the pallets as islands, hope that works for you... might be worth making a larger one of about 4 pallets attatched together? When ive released duck, I always put them into a release pen first, which was simply made with pen sections, a good portion of the pen should go into the pond, but this will depend on depth. Obviously mallard growers cant fly, so no need to worry about roof net etc... in my opinion the time in the pen is essential, for getting them acclimatised to the pond, as well as protection from predators... electric fencing should be used around the pen if the

    They are the sort of old propper borders had a very thick skin, and some were difficult to scruff, so thick was the skin!!! But, I still hunt the hills every winter, where the border terrier was origionally bred, and with dogs that have far less protection from the weather... maybe an outcross is needed for my blood, to help restore coat. Thats them D&N, ain't seen type like that for years. I'd be careful with that outcross if I were you, Borders with hard jackets & thick skin may be difficult to find but with excellent working ability, harder still...! Aye, tell us about

    Well said martin When I was keepering a large hill shoot I took 136 in one season from August untill April... always had that quiet spell between about may and july, until the well grown cubs came in from neighbouring fells and forrestry. The foxes were taken using all legal methods, but I would reckon only around 1/4 (or less) were shot with rifle. Never got less than 100 per season on that ground.
