    I live backed on to waist ground and since the day we moved in we have had trouble with rats.It was a matter in the past of if I seen rats I would get the fens out. The problem was by the time I seen the rats it was too late, and they had become established in their new territory, and being neophobic it made them harder to trap. it took a while but eventually I got on top of them. After an absence of rats for a couple of months stupidly I let things slip again, then the whole circle started again. However, I had a good hard think about them and came up with a plan. It is well documented th

    How I do it is 20% brown sugar to volume of salt. Rub the salt well into the belly pork taking care to make sure that all flaps of flesh are well salted underneath the flaps. I use the salad crisper box in the fridge. I cut the side of belly pork in to 3 slabe salt them and place them in the crisper. Each day I empty the juice of of the box as the moisture in the pork is expelled. I also rotate the slabs of meat each day. Day 1 you have starting at the bottom slabs 1 2 3, day 2, 231 day 3, 3 1 2 To be honest I try it at the 3rd day and if it crisps up alright then it's ready. I then wrap in gr

    All the people who think it is a good idea seem to have a certain standard of living, not that I am knocking that. It is just an extension of the class divide. If you cannot afford to go peak time then you just cannot go. As always with this fecked up country if your rich, you can do what you like, if you poor you have to do as your told. Is in not odd though, that the school can do trips abroad during term time, yet that does not count? TC

    I make my own dry cured only takes about 4 days. I make it from a slab of belly pork, crisp as you like and does not shrink when cooked crispy. TC

    It's just a thought, but I wonder if the anti's have a hand in all these dog thefts? It would be just like their twisted sense of logic. I hope you get your dogs back. TC

    Watch the dog some will catch up with a rabbit and go for the strike straight away others will faingt one way, then when the rabbit turns the dog is there to catch it. It is nothing you can teach the dog has to learn it for it's self, the same as standing off hedges, I had a whippet once that would always get between the rabbit and the hedge, not many escaped. TC

    I had to put my old boy down a couple of years ago. Not being into photos much, I dont really have any of him working but in my minds eye I can remember just as vividly as any photo. They never leave you, he's buried at the bottom of the garden and each time I pass some memory will come into my head and a big grin will come onto my face. TC

    It sounds to me as if he has just that little bit extra pace, enough to put the rabbit under pressure and cause the rabbit to make mistakes. Not a bad trait in a dog. TC

    Some of these go back to 2006. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ratting+moll+Http//:thehuntinglife.com+site:www.thehuntinglife.com&biw=1366&bih=634 TC Edited to add: the search engines on sites these days are not really very good. = rubbish is the word I would use.

    Fuji that pom gets me every time. The photo of her standing side on, she looks like a miniture elk hound. All your photos seem to capture the spirt in the dogs, you can almost tell every dogs personality just by looking at the photos. TC

    That would be a good idea if I wanted a name for myself, or wanted to be looked upon as a wise teacher. The truth is I want the sport to grow and become more advanced. I don't care who has a good idea, as long as it works. I could try to figure it all out by myself, and gain some kind of special prestige, or I can spread the word on my sport and learn from others wiser, more experienced in life, and more talented than I, who could easily pass me up in the sport. To be honest, I search for people who I think would pass me up in the sport, that way I can learn from them, instead of just usin

    where you at HM? drop me a pm..... If you do not want to get caught then leave well alone our PK does not have a good record of outwitting the law when it comes to nets and the Salmonade family. TC

    Do I admire what he has done? The answer is yes without a doubt. Will it take off in the UK? I doubt it, although some will be captured with the novelty of hunting mink. To be honest I am with Ideation on this, personally, I would have kept it under wraps for a good few years so that any flaws or fluctuations in training could be ironed out and an authoritive work could then be published.

    Once upon a time, around 1976 I used to fish a river here in west wales called the Gwendrieth Fach it was a beautifull little river with trout up to the pound and a half mark. The mayfly hatch was sepectacular and fishing it was a real pleasure. The bird life was what you would expect from a lowland stream, Mallard, Moorhen, Kingfishers, Wagtails even the odd Dipper. Fishing that river was never boring. Then in 1979 I seen the first mink, I had heard what they could do to the wildlife along a river but had never witnessed it first hand. Over the next couple of years the decline in the bir

    Loathing? I hunted foxes, but I knew people who tamed & kept them as pets, loathing never came into it... What part of the above quote underlined did you not understand? I stated that the loathing for mink far excedes a dislike for any other preditor. TC I only read the last line.....lol..........I skim sometimes.....lol Me thinks you need to leave the Belgian larger alone, it does seem to be just too good for you. TC

    WTF has hunting foxes got to do with writing a book about mink. Sorry you have lost me there. The fox is an indigenous species in this country, not an alian invader that does not fit into the ecosystem. TC

    The chap had an idea and ran with it, nowt wrong with that. To be honest I have been thinking about it this afternoon and the only differance I can see between his way of hunting with mink and falconry, is the romance of the hooked beak and the fact that the mink is an alian species to our shores. Both disiplines use the natural abilities of the animals, but without really taming them. I could see that within any country that has a natural mink population people would try what he has done. As there would not be the resentment to a destructive alian preditor that there is in this country.
