    Very noisy I'd imagine.

    And thankfully any bedlington blood that was in the fell types has now nearly all been bred out.

    Bump.

    In theory this year's festival should be a Willie Mullins benefit, but it's Cheltenham and it rarely works like that. Can't wait.

    A few years ago here in Eire we thought the Greens were a bunch of mad no-hopers. Until they went into a coalition government with Fianna Fial that was. Then FF used the Greens to do all their dirty work including banning stag hunting and various taxes on anything that "harmed" the enviroment. Messing with hunting was one of the main reasons of the downfall of that particular but never, ever underestimate any of them. Look at Hitler for instance, LOL.

    Is that carved ? If so, it's fantastic.

    Brilliant Rob. What did it taste like ?

    I agree Fireman. If you see any wild birds with mutations and stay in that area long enough you'll usually see some more. Mammals can be the same ie. Hares, Rabbits and Foxes.

    Maybe the "Big Breeder" knew that the cheque would bounce, LOL.

    JMHO but if someone tells you they work their Jack Russells and they use the P word in the description take them with a big pinch of salt.

    theres nothing to terrier work? Well if it was just that simple wouldn't it be great. Terrier work is very hard to get started before even getting a terrier id advise a season or two with experienced men that have a good knowledge and understanding of the game. Try your hardest to get into someone's gang but it can be hard especially the way things are going. Good luck and wish you all the best. Its great when ya get up and going Well said Young Man but IMO using the term GANG to describe a few lads who hunt together is a mistake. It looks like at the moment this site is crawling wit

    Hope you find him Corkonian, I know how much regard you have for your terriers.
  15. neil cooney
    Yep, it's true. There's a lot of them Yorkshire lasses still walking funny.

    I agree Rob, there's no season on foxes and even more so if they're rogues. But from a terriermans perspective the way I see it is that if you dig a vixen with cubs you've had one dig. If you waited 'till next Autumn you might get a few digs. But, like the lad says, if he doesn't do it the farmer will get someone else.

    And they say every greyhound today has Fullerton in his pedigree. Wasn't Fullerton down from Czarina ? If so that means he had old fighting dog in him. That'll be music to the ears of the bullcross fans.
  18. neil cooney
    It's true, a vixen often enlarges a few places before deciding on where to cub. Hence the reason all the earths on one farm look used but are empty. Unless they are a problem might be time to give them some time to themselves.

    Never heard of putting wax on the ends but I've always cut them 6 or 8 inches too long either end to allow for splitting.

    I made some last year and it was delicious, maybe too nice.
  21. neil cooney
    LOL, good one Wedgey.

    I'm glad you said bullock Fatman. I thought you were going to say bollocks, LOL.

    I remember when the beats would start to come in and the geese would get up and take forever to fly over. You'd be sitting there on the banks and then "PLOP" someones coat would have a big blue goose shit on it. Then the coursing started and was always brilliant. Then that night in the pub ,we used to stay in Ormskirk, you'd be in the company of hunting folk, not just greyhoundy folk, but good honest hunting, country folk. I miss that. Over here after a coursing meeting nowadays everyones in to greyhounds and that's it. But with the Waterloo Cup you'd be sitting with terriermen, lurcherme

    Is there any colonies of the Black Rat left in the UK ? As far as I know there's one left in Ireland.

    Paulus that sparrow looks like a new colour canary ,LOL. Fat Ferret, my daughter has some photos of the Jackdaw in his first year or two but it's got whiter every year and I see it everyday. In fact most people in the village see it everyday. There was a photo in the local paper, The Meath Chronicle, of the white Magpie in it's first year. But then it moved a mile or so away (I was blamed of trapping it) but I knew the farm it was on and then it disappeared again but again, I knew where it went and it is now about 2 miles from where it was hatched. I seen it 2 days ago. Funny enough, th
