  1. Colliejohn I would like a dog to take a fox or two also and a bit of this and that and the other,I know the collie really appeals to me and I owned a 1st cross bitch ,I then owned a colliexg/hound xsaluki g/hound bred by a chap called p taylor in Notts,he was some dog and the reason I didnt get another until now,He took a few dozen foxes single handed and loads of rabbits.I used to ferret with him on my own,me on one side of the ditch him on the other,purse nets on my side and good old Cloudy on the other.Once a rabbit bolted he wouldnt get 10 yards and hed have him,then jump the ditch and ret
  2. Ricky I'm all ears(well their not that big but you can see them stickin out from the side of my head).I sent a pm last nite but I was well drunk and dont know where it went so if anyone got a pm from me and havnt a clue what im on about my apologies,pm on the way ricky.
  3. Thanks key,would they be easy to train them not to blow the field nets ,long nets into next week,I know a lot would be down to the handler but would the terrier side be a little too intense for finer situations?
  4. Just wondering if you might express your opinion on this matter,in the near future but not just yet I intend in buying a lurcher,I do mostly ferreting and a little lamping,with a little fox bolting thrown in here and there.I would like an honest dog or bitch that is up for most things(arent we all).I am without a lurcher fo the last two years and really missed having one while out foraging,now kennell space will be arising soon and I have time at last due to job changes(I lost mine).I saw on theCMW this week pups advertised there from a gentleman called GWYN JONES.They hit me as being what im

  8. I've bought a 223 cz and have had a moderator fitted,I need to invest in a good scope and to be truthful I dont have a clue of the strength or make I should get.I was told a swift 10 to 12 x50 is a good size or a bushnell is a good make,anyone enlighten me on what how and where I can get one,in english,no fancy terminology as I wont have a clue what you'll be on about,thank you all prematurally.
  9. Bigeddie hes on form again now,walks with his head turned to one side so he can see everything thats going on.He's after calming down again now, he's after servicing 2 does in the last 2 weeks so life is good for him,the polish lass was at the house again during the week,wanted to get her hands on my favourite lad(steady up now,I meant my silver buck)trying to picture her with her hand rammed in the hole next year feeling about for the furry creature thats laid up,It might be my last year at hunting if gregorie (her bloke) finds out what I'm thinking,he'll pull my neck just like I do with the
  10. He got kicked in the face in a pocket end,got his nose split in two also,if you pick him up from his blind side now he bites immediately,I think his nerves are shot(a bit like mine),if you approach him from the good side hes like a lamb.
  11. Tisnt the polish bird that concerns me tis her fella,he a big bloke.when she comes hunting with me in September I'll have to show her what a probe is,or how to peel the skin off properly,mmmmmm,
  12. And she's a right looker too fledge,but her bloke is a huge cnut,6ft 2 and a big wide whore so i'm staying happily married and alive.
  13. I was out on a farm 2 weeks ago as a farmer wanted us to do a ditch before he knocked it and preventing the rabbits settling into a new home.we have a tiny buck that is a super hunter and we entered him in a burrow and sat back waiting for the action.After 20 minutes I located him a foot down and proceeded to dig to him.when I broke through he was lying on his side and the rabbit was balled up in a pocket,I dispatched the rab and when I checked the ferret his eye was out of its socket and resting on his cheek.I put him back in his box and with the farmer being there we had to continue with the
  14. My mate rang the warrener last week and he got no help at all,had no idea where they can be got and said his own was made by a mate.I'll have to look in a few magazines,thanks for your help people.
  15. Thanks guys,shows what I know doesnt it.
  16. Guys,could you give me info on this subject please.A mate of mine has bought a Investarm over and under 410 shotgun,it has 28 inch barrells and he would like to get a silencer of some form for it.He thinks you can buy a type of sleeve that cuts down the noise from it.He has brought it along while out ferreting and its handy in places that cant be controled by nets.He has accounted fo many rabbits that ran through the scrub and gorse which would have escaped usually(but not any more ,yere in trouble now me boyos).If you know of this idea would you please explain what we should be looking for an
  17. I kept lurchers up to 5 yrs ago and have helped train my mates dog to long nets not a bother.The lurcher I had was stock broken and steady with sheep cattle and horses.I was always tempted to have a go at deer but was afraid of the consequences afterwards.Now you got me thinking again,I think thats a donkey in your photo Mik,I see for myself theres no fear for the dunkeys life.
  18. Think I'll go for the T8,just asked the audience and the feed back is too great to ignore,thanks for your help guys.
  19. jeffers sport bandon co.cork Thats where I bought the gun,Jeffers sports,wont buy another thing from him,paid just under a thousand euros for the gun and he wouldnt give me a bullet nor a shoulder strap thrown in.Doing my buisness elsewhere.My mate who is a neighbour and buddy of Jeffers got a quote from him for an under and over 410,and we got the exact same gun 240 euros cheaper elsewhere,too high are his prices I think.
  20. I am surprised at that,I have had lurchers for many years but never ran deer with them,they took foxes ok but was thinking when they run deer they might be prone to chasing animals of a similar size,Your in Ireland I take it,you ever have a litter of lurchers for sale let me know,thanks. Freestate just spoted the tricolor on the base of your reply so I aint the most observant of people,where abouts are you,I'm near Cork.
  21. Hi guys,I think I know the answer to this already but not certain.If your lurcher is taking deer,is it possible he can be ok and steady with sheep or is it as I expect they get a little keen on all forms of living moving spieces,I'm thinking this is a kinda pointless question but has anyone got their dog steady to sheep and still take deer with them,Jigsaw.
  22. I have been estimated a price of 350 euros to get the gun threaded and the t8 fitted.I shot a few targets with the gun as is and I almost shit myself the first few times,I had a.22 for the last 24 yrs.what do you think of the price for the fitting.I'm going to go ahead with it soon so would love to hear your opinions on this matter.If anyone has a gunsmith in Ireland and hopefully in the southern end of the country they might reccomend I would be most grateful,I got my quote from a Wexford gunsmith .thanks for your help so far lads,jigsaw.
  23. Treated myself to a .223 rifle and wondering if you lot might have an opinion on a silencer.Read about the T8 and its supposed to be fairly good.Whats your toughts on this please,Jigsaw.
