Thank you.

What sort of a spineless b*****d does that. Lovely looking dog too.
-
I agree, Badger.

IMO a dog quickly learns that a trap can bring a reward, even if it's just a quick sniff at a dead rodent. My own lurcher trotts ahead of me when I near a snare or a trap and from 50 yards I can tell if it's a catch or not by watching her.

Fair play Pinave. Always tell the truth about your terriers and that way no one can call you a liar and the only folk your terriers have to satisfy is you and those who have a pest problem.
-
Stop End, you telling me how to manage my trapping would be like me telling you how to swap Jack Russells. You telling 2 vermin officers in the South their rules when you're stuck in a city in the North is a funny one and just because I showed the other day that you wrote a spoof post about the badger in the ladder trap you've tried to come on this thread and contradict me. You're of the same ilk as that idiot Foxbolter in that when you've lost an arguement you revert to insults in desperation.

Flat out on the Magpies now but more so the Grey Crows. This week alone 2 people looking for Greycrows gone, 2 for Magpies, 2 for Foxes and 1 for Rabbits. One call was for removing Magpies from a Pitch and Putt course because they were damaging the course. That's a new on me !!!!

Apparently he was 60, good angler, the man in red Still a young age, God bless him. In my late teens, early twenties the Angling Times was my weekly fix and my brother got Anglers Mail (and my father would steal both) but I remember Jan starting to make a name for himself. Red was the colour back then too, LOL.

Well I'm Right Royally Pissed Off

And you wont get him, that's the way life works, LOL. One thing I know about fox traps is to not tell anyone you have one. They see a fox and they're straight on the phone to you because they think they're foolproof. I just tell them to set a snare or two as they're more effective (which they are) but they never do. -
He couldn't have been that old, that's a pity. R.I.P.
-
Ignore the idiot. If he has to try and win an argument by insults and name calling then he's more or less admitting that he's beat. Sore looser. Cue the name calling.
-
no this actually happened off the coast of brisbane.................... Have to confess, for the first few seconds I thought it was true too.
-
And there it is. When you call me names it's an insult, when I call you an idiot, it's a fact. Cue the name calling. (Very poor and weak way to argue a point.)
-
Very good.
-
I wont even reply to that other idiot. I've done a lot of hunt terrier work Born Hunter and any Huntsman will tell you that one good fox is better than several bad ones. Very very rare for a pack to blank in a days hunting. I popped into a neighbour today to say hello (and drink a few glasses of Brandy) and when I got home there a while ago I checked my phone and had a miss-call. On my voicemail was a message from an old woman out the road, out of breath, shouting down the phone to me that the fox was after been in her yard, killed a few hens and was now crossing the garden with a hen in it

Wrong again, I attend the vermin count every year and it's both wings.

MIK I think cubs would be like pups as in if its a small litter like the vixen only has 2 cubs instead of 4 say, , they have the best of milk for a few weeks on tap before she will be away her self mooching... or just to get out of there road for a few hours...then best of her spoils when she comes back... so best of grub and no vying between cubs would grow substantially fatter, better bone structure and quicker coat growth than the average fox cubs that have been struggling.... so may look more maturer than they actually are. best way I always try and tell the age of a terrier, lurcher or
-
LOL, is it just me or do all hunting folk slow down to have a look and then feel remorse when they see any wildlife killed on the road. The only roadkill that doesn't bother me is a dead cat.
-
I really really do hope that shooting never goes down that route. I'm all for control, not extermination. There's already enough gadget geeks taking up shooting foxes. The same lads wouldn't know a Red Squirrel from a Red Stag.

Myself and Fatman were coming back from somewhere last Sunday and seen a dead cub on the road that I would think was nearly that size. Just shows how early they will cub.

IMO it would depend on the size of carp you expect to hook. On the lake where I last carp fished a 6/7 wt would be fine as there's only a couple of 20s and most are in the 4 to 6 lb bracket but if doubles are a reality I'd use one of the 9 wts that the Pike fly fishers use nowadays. I'd say a 10 lb carp on a fly would be up there with the best. Some day.

Have a good one

Funny we're talking about Canals in cities Peter. I seen an add this morning for a new series starting Sunday week on RTE about wildlife in Irish cities. It showed Otter, Herons and Hares in the trailer, might be worth a watch.
