    Thanks again for the replies, some great info there.... Seems a very useful tool, ive watched and heard roe rutting a few times, the does seem to make lots of different noises, grunting even, so what noises do you aim for when using the call? Are there any good dvds showing the call being used to good effect? Or do you get instructions with the call when you buy it? Cheers all DnN

    There are traps named 'springer' they come in mk 4 and 6, ive used hundreds of these alongside genuine fenns, they are just as good! But deffo watch out for imitation coppies, theres loads of cheap shite about..

    I did the DMQ level 1 +2, 10 years ago, same thing though... Old Nog sums it up fairly well, all info on all six deer species you can get, you also do a slide show, so make sure your identification skills are good. Good luck

    As foxhunter states the buttolo is the no 1 for roe usually costing around the £18 mark. It is only used during the rut and if sqeezed quietly can bring out a doe thinking it is her fawn that is calling and if the buck is about he will also appear to shadow the doe. I have never heard of a winter caller for does, I think the reason being they would never respond to any sort of call. My advice would be to put a mineral lick in a clearing in your wood where you are seeing a fair bit of traffic - has worked for me on roe and reds. Peter I use lick blocks already! Thankyou f

    I used to run about a dozen of them when I was a hill keeper, worked a treat on the fells. Are you a keeper?

    Yes, im talking roe calls.... thankyou very much foxhunter, How efective do you think it is? Is it worth buying, as I often struggle to meet my quota with the bucks especially as the cover is so thick in the summer months. What do the calls retail for? Are there any calls that will work with the does in winter? But this is not as important as with the summer buck calls for me, as I can usually manage to find enough does during winter. Thanks again DnN

    I was given a welsommer cockeral by a nieghbour, and it was soon apparent why he was so keen to get rid of the bugger!! He was a feckin phsycho! He would make a bee line straight for me or my lass whenevr we left the house! I did basically the same thing as you skycat, and taught him a lesson with a broom!! He learnt alright

    Any laying breed will do for you, and all the eggs will taste similar if kept in similar conditions. Leghorns(my first choise, and white eggs), black rock, rhode island red, isa brown, maran(dark egg), welsummer. Best tasting eggs are from free range birds that are allowed over a large and varied area. imo

    Shake are caused by erosion under the surface by water. Can be in earth or stone..... we also have what we call 'clincks' (spell?) which are long splits/cracks in the limestone which the bunnies love, I avoid taking the lurcher and terriers up to these places, spaniels seem ok though, some of the clinks go deep, and a terrier would not get out easily. The foxes love these too. Thanks for the tips there moley about the elbow tunnels, do you do this on a large scale? Will definatly give this a go!

    Im thinking about buying a call or to, but dont want to be wasting money. Some of our stalking is extremely dense scrubland and plantations, where it is often very difficult to stalk up. Ive been wanting to test out a call or two for a while to see if I can tempt them out of the cover... so which ones really work, and are worth buying? Many thanks DnN

    That will be very usefull for me Martin, ive never been too fussy about removing the bones from my roasting joints before, but im going to give it a go now! Plus it will save space in the freezer aswell. Thankyou DnN Should be pinned....

    Dam was certainly bred out of his stuff, not sure if the Punch dog is in the breeding though, no pics of parents unfortunately, but she was a big chunky bitch, whereas the dog was racey and a cracking lamping dog.

    Its interesting that your wee beddy opens up, as most are totally silent workers, even when being dug to etc...
  17. dogs-n-natives
    Good stuff smasher, he has had a good career for you then! Well done that dog!

    Hello all A thread to remember old terriers past and present, who gave a full working life and made it into retirement, or at least over 7 years. I count myself as very lucky to have a terrier still doing some work now who will be 9 years old in January, although phisically (appart from the obvious scarring on the face) he is still fit and well! I belive his excellent teeth have kept him in work, and he still has 3 1/2 canines! It would also be nice to hear of some of the more memorable digs to them, or other interesting facts. What do you think helps a dog to work so hard for so long?

    I keep spaniels and a spaniel cross. And will be adding beagle cross to my pack at some point... Cocker/patterdale... excellent hunting bitch, opens up on scent, cant fault her, and a totally different animal to either parent, more like a wee hound. Cocker.. endless stamina, flat out all day, dog is a machine.... This springer has NEVER turned his nose up at even the thickest cover, ploughs through with determination... now retired unfortunatly.

    Sorry mate, the dam was a line bred lurcher, all half bred bull/greys on the dams side.
  21. dogs-n-natives
    BUD - Dam: line bred (SBrown), Sire: genuine first cross bull/grey This is him as a young pup... A bit older, about 9 months... Last week, at 2 years 5 months...

    Well spotted lads ..... just shows how important stock breaking is then, doesn't it!!!!
  23. dogs-n-natives
    yes there is, well its revised enough, including the hunting act etc.. ive got a copy.... a must have for ANY countryman I would have thaught

    I think you'll find a farmer does have the right to shoot the dogs if they are worrying his livestock, like it or not. You might want to read what I have written again in an earlier post on this topic!! Runforyourlife says the dogs WERE NOT WORRYING LIVESTOCK!!!!!!!! Therefore the farmer seems in the wrong to me!!
