your asking to much from yourself training and the dog learning decide on what type of hunting you do most then pick dog to suit add other disciplines after you and the dog have masterd one.In my experience you will end up with a confused dog thats good for nowt if you try to do to much to soon, as you have said its a long time since you had a dog.

use the same call and tone of voice every time you feed and handle helps to bring ferrets to hand when working

if you want to attract more ducks to the pond then yes feed it , i would have a walk round the pond and see were the shallow parts are, then feed that area put some just in the water , some out of the water , dont go to deep with the feed because teal will not be able to reach it also mallard, they like to up end in the water but if the feed is to deep they will not get it . wheat is good also barley, you can put potatos in too but if you have fish in the pond then i would not bother potatos send the water stagnant and relise acids into the water which could kill the fish .
Barleys best if you don't have a rat problem try rotten spuds.

thanks lads i know being cheaky asking you lot to help save money and time on ammo choice but i have a limited time at the land i use for zeroing + i'am tight as a fishes bum.

i hadnt thought to ask if its for the rights or permission!
the farm doesnt have much in the way of game but is swarming with foxes! the stalking is already let on a five year lease and im thinking he has the same thing in mind if it is the sporting rights thats for sale! its just the fact that he isnt letting us know a price and keeps telling me he has three other people interested that worries me! 
make him an offer shy bairns get nowt call his bluff.

Iforgot to say remember hes a farmer so start your offer low 80p per acre
SHOOTING RIGHTS are for all quarry not just vermin if the ground holds game you could charge others to shoot and therefore share the cost dont be to quick to decide if the farmer means shooting rights or just permision.ive been shooting rats and crows around the yard at a farm near me for a few months now with my air rifle and im keen to get perrmission for the rest of the farm but the farmer wants paying for the shooting rights! he has said he wants some one pro active as he has a real problem with bunnys pigeons ect but hasnt been very forthcomming with telling me how much he wants, and im starting to feel like im being led on! does any one have any idea how much i should expect to pay? or an oppinion on whether i should be paying to do pest control for him? i dont mind paying per say but if its a huge ammount i might have to give up the only shooting i have!
Tell him to do one he cant be to bothered if he wants you to pay try another local farmer theres plenty out there
What I do is when im driving to work I drive by a couple of farms and as I work shifts I drive by at diff times of the day and night if I see anything suspicious or any damage or any loose stock I pop in and see the owner and let them know I get all the shooting and pest control I want
sadly i dont have a car!!
i either walk or have to rely on gotting a lift!! -

All jap motors are good but when they go tits up very costly to repair . landy parts easy available and cheaper.

Hi,
I'm relatively new to shooting, and have recently purchased my first shotgun which I am ashamed to say, I've hardly used, on the basis that I'm not fortunate enough to live on a farm or in a farming community. I bought the gun after going along with my grandad a few times and really enjoying it, he does live in a farming community but is getting older now and his shooting days are coming to an end.
My question is, if I dont really know anyone (especially in my immediate area - Eaglescliffe, Teesside) who shoots, how do I go about getting into a syndicate or at least gaining access to land to shoot on? Is it feasible to literally knock on a farmers door and ask?? I'm just sooo desperate to shoot and its o frustrating knowing my gun's at my disposal if only I had somewhere to go!!
our syndicate is novice friendly but to far away from yuo (SCOTTISH BORDERS). TRY your local gun shop and ask them to pass on your details to any shoot member or keeper who uses the shop offer your services as a beater now is a good time as the partridge season is near and the shoot will nead as many beaters as it can get especially if you can beat on a weekday.or type nobs into your computer beaters site. PS .you will make contacts and possibly get a days shooting on beaters day GOOD LUCK.

Richie, did you used to own a vitara? If so, what was it like, fuel/repairs etc? Jimny outside my budget.
Cheers
if tracks are rutted then you must take ground clearance into consideration landy defender good bet

Hi i've advertised rough shooting for this season at a reasonable cost some of the replies i've had have asked me if if this includes stalking,foxing., pigeon decoying all year round .My idea of roughshooting is to hunt game with a dog and to try and shoot whats flushed to the gun this includes having the odd drive or two when there is enough guns out on the day also flighting duck. What do you think a rough shoot should be !.
