    Where did the year go. I remember well Marshman you giving us the sad news. I also remember the fox shortly after. R.I.P. and we should all raise a glass this Christmas to those who've gone before us.

    Bob, although all gorse looks the same as far as I know there's a variety that flowers for every month of the year. Have you ever eaten the flowers as they're budding, taste a bit like an almond.

    I agree Mole. Zilverhaze, don't fool yourself, you're more intelligent than that. Police and computer experts can get into a terrorist's or a pedophiles computer in seconds. How long would it take them to get into an ordinary Joe Soaps ? So how do nearly all the photos in todays media come from FB if it's a closed shop ? Because those who don't give a shit about hunting are the ones that leave it wide open for everyone to see. That's the whole point of this subject. And of course this site is crawling with anti's. It's one of the biggest hunting sites there is and the anti's and the auth

    About 6 years ago Stephen Phillpott was on the Gerry Ryan show spouting out his anti-terrierwork bullshit. Gerry Ryan was lapping it all up and the city dwelling cokehead was telling the whole of Ireland how badmen these terrier boys were. I rang the producer and said I'd use my full name if they allowed me to talk to Ryan and Phillpott live on the show. They had given out advice that if you see someone with terriers and shovels they are badger baiters so ring the Gardi. I said to the producer that if we see someone wearing a soccer top can we presume that they are a soccer hooligan and sh

    They say the best time to cut a stick is when you see it. My fathers made plenty of sticks and when cutting them for him I always cut them 6 or so inches longer either end to allow for shrinkage.

    well put..lots on here want to bend the knee to the antis as if its a privalege to be allowed to hunt.when there was no facebook the queen of england displayed their hunting trophys on the walls of stately homes for tourists to gawk at .if it was good enough then its good enough now. LOL, you're joking I hope. You're comparing trophy stags etc. on walls of stately homes to photos put up on the WWW of illegally taken game and photos of wounds etc. The photos of lads posing with a few rabbits and a fox or two are mild compared to what some idiots are putting up on FB. And yes, I'm proud

    why...........its perfectly legal.Public perception. so if your kid was doing well say in boxing a perfectly legal sport you shouldnt put a picture up of him with a bloody nose,why give em the pleasure of seeing what you get up to. All you gain from taking pictures and putting on the web is attention. Attention seekers and their egos are no good for the sport. might be different in england but theres no trouble here from antis,but if the pics legal who gives a fcuk what they see thats the problem with some people bowing down tugging the forelock.the message should be put out were here to

    You're absolutely right Fatman. The only people who get any sort of a kick out of lads posing are anti's, wildlife wardens, novices and wannabees. Lets face it, a lad who's out there doing the business knows what a dead deer, fox or hare looks like. Big deal. Also a proper hunting lad should know a fellow hunter from a wannabee and if a fellow hunter tells me he had a good day then that will do me, I don't need proof. Lets face it, at this stage nearly all anti fieldsport journalism is written about fools on FB. Yes, I'm sure they're nice lads but fools. As for saying that hunting is lega

    I disagree Sammy. Phillpott when he went after the bulldog fanciers used his power to tell lies and as result wiped out nearly all the bulldogs in N.I. People had the homes and yards raided and several pet staffs were killed just because Phillpott wanted to. He's no animal lover, he's a power loving midget, but he got his way through lies. Then more recently the P.S.N.I. decided to target terriermen. Again Phillpott told them a load of lies and they believed them. The result was that several good lads got out of the game. I've known hunt terriermen have their vehicles searched while watchi

    So you wouldn't support the farmers who've already giving you permission ? Lets just say a farmer with 200 or 300 acres told you he'd give you permission but no one else. You're saying that you'd say to that farmer "No thanks unless everyone can go on ." ? ime in ireland mate..anybody with 300 acres is a planter ..no permission required..its him maybe needs the permission. You're joking right, LOL. Answer my original question. If you were told by the owner of a large farm that you could hunt it but no one else, would you tell that farmer NO ? sure i couldnt be a baliff for h

    Well said Wilf. Hard to believe the ignorance on this subject.

    I've never had much time for journalists, but lately they gone from bad to worse. Are things really that bad with leading newspapers that they are employing people who obviously will say and write anything for the price of a cup of tea and a ham sandwich ? I'm serious. Last Sunday in the Sunday World they picked on a lad who was posing with a half a dozen rabbits and a fox. He's an up and coming sportsman and obviously loves his bit of lamping with his lurchers. This bit of shabby journalism will no doubt have an impact on his career. He was however silly enough to go on FB. The story sai

    Would they suit a terrierman ? Connor says they're using them down under on foxes. Would they hunt up, mark and catch quickly if he bolted ?

    I have no argument with you Neil, its not primary school...I just asked you a question... how do you make pups... or experienced terriers run an empty earth.... genuine question? Stopend, in any type of training a dog for hunting you never MAKE a pup do something. Whether that's a gundog retrieving, a lurcher chasing or a terrier travelling an earth. They have to WANT to do it and good well bred terriers will want to find game. IMO the only type of working dogs that are MADE to do something are performing dogs in a circus. Are you a clown Stopend ? Genuine question.

    The supermarkets can even afford to sell some produce at a loss. They just counter balance it by putting up the price of some other essentials ie. tea or bread. My daughter worked in Tescos for a few weeks. There was a problem with her wages one day so she asked a manager to sort it out. The manager rang the wages dept...........IN CALCUTTA, INDIA. These big supermarkets don't give a shit about the economies of where they're based. Here in Ireland you'll often see an Irish flag on the package. But when you look closer you'll see it says "Packaged in Eire". But not produced in Ireland. Farm

    And the unfortunate victims have been told that the worse is yet to come. And then to make matters worse they're now telling us that there's gangs of scum going around casing house that have been evacuated.

    Thanks Fireman, so it's probably a hen and the fact it goes missing for a few weeks every Spring I guess it's doing all the incubating. The fellow who offered to buy the white Magpie off me explained the sex linked theory to me and admitted he'd be taking a chance on whether it would be a cock or a hen and whether he'd breed mutations from it. I'd like to have seen that white Robin. The nicest mutation I've ever seen in the wild is a cinnamon Chaffie I seen last Summer about a half a mile from Fatmans house. I was to be at his house for 5am but was early. I didn't want to call to early as

    Almost forgot, about 3 Summers ago I found a young Rook right in the middle of the village that I would say was thrown out of the nest. It's beak was a bit deformed and he had 2 white wings. I thought he was a Magpie when I seen him first. I brought him home and had him in a cage in the kitchen. I was hand feeding him dog food every hour or two and after a few days he'd hop onto my hand to feed. But f**k, was he noisy. He'd see me coming and start screaming for food. At the time I had around 8 terriers and they'd join in. One day i was talking to a neighbour out the front and he heard me an

    Niel, would be nice to see a picture of that bird. I've no way of putting up photos and the one I have of this bird is when it was probably 5 to 10 % white and that was taken on a Polaroid. The same bird is probably 90% white now. It hasn't been breeding whites either as it's the only one around with white feathers, yet if you go in to Drogheda there's an area where all the Jackdaws have white feathers. There's also a white Magpie a few miles from me. I know where he was born and a local lad got a photo of him that appeared in the local paper. That Magpie then moved to another area tha

    Lutra Lutra, I have seen and done things on my own out hunting that if you told anyone they'd call you a lier so I don't bother. Not hunting related, but, one night I was walking home from the pub on a dark unlit country road and in front of me I could here something running towards me very fast. I wasn't sure what was happening but lifted one of my feet to avoid something and a Hare hit my boot and died instantly. A few minutes later I walked into my mothers kitchen obviously under the influence carrying a large dead hare. Stupidly I told a few hunting lads the next day and they took the p
