The fact that she is traveling is a good start,she knows she is looking for something but not sure what,be patient with her and dont over encourage her,or she may start yapping just to please you,her day will come when she meets someone at home and it will all fall into place.

Out early this morning,headed off at 6 am just as starting to get bright,its got to be the best part of the day.We had a few new earths to try on some new ground,the first 2 drew a blank but the third was definatly holding.It was on top of a bank covered with blackthorn bushes,all the tubes were running out into the field so we thought we would be able to dig in comfort,colared up smasher the old russell dog and ran him on,he hit game almost imediatly,not in the feild but under a B******D black thorn,so it was hood up head down and in you go,luckily it wasnt to deep only about 3 foot ,broke th

Normally would have dug it a lot wider but we were using an 8 foot box to a 15 foot colar and wasnt expecting it to be that dept have to get myself a b+f however we did have a short handled bull nose shovle that i always bring along,handy for clearing out We also put a step in for taking dog and game out

A good day out,dug to the old smasher dog with two friends of this site,The soil wasnt to hard but was in an arkward spot,in a dip with banks all around it was hard to throw out the soil without some of it falling back in.The old russell held his game well,not giving it an inch.The final dept was 9 foot and took about 3 hours,would have had him out sooner but soil kept falling back into the hole,good exercise though.Game let run for another day

My handiest was in an old stone wall,didnt even have to use a bar or spade,just had to take out one boulder and was right on top of the dog,to grips with his quarry,let him off for another day

Ive seen good terriers in all the breeds but the ones ive been most impressed by is a good old fashioned jack rusell,not the type seen inthe show ring.Small,bow,legged,musular with a good head and a bigger heart like the old irish type.Hard to beat a good russellIMO

In his younger day he liked to mix it, and used to get smashed up but with age hes a bit more settled and boxes clever he works close to his quarry and will mix it when needed,he will stand his ground

Alright mate hows things?The dig was only about 4 foot not to deep but the soil was full of stone.Do i think he'll last the season?he seems to think he will,Its hard to leave them at home when there still keen.

][]Just out checking the poults today,brought the 17 HMR as always just in case,a quick check on the pheasant pens and a quick scout around for maggies,grey crows and foxes,as i was driving down ohe of the network of tiny roads,eyes peeled,something caught my eye on te far ditch,a fox lied up sunning its self.I tried to call him in but he had spotted me first,he was120 yards away which was a bit border line for the 17 i had a clear head shot and was confident i could take him as i have taken them at this distance before.cross hair on head,steady,squeeeeeze and thud down he goes,a clean kill.at

I pay around 15 euro or there abouts for my 17hmr ammo,Icant understand why people complain about the price,where else would you get a days sport for 15 euro,some of mates pay 100euro+ for a round of golf which in my opinion is a good walk wasted
