    A field full of lambs have only the ewe to protest their baby but two foxes can sort that out easily, especially if the poor ol' ewe is trying to protect a double. A pen full of chickens is a dream to a fox if he can get in. Free range they're a bit harder but he'll often nail a few before fecking off. But a hedgerow full of rabbits who are on high alert and are looking out for each other is hard for any predator and let's face it one healthy rabbit would feed a man for a day so why wouldn't a fox be happy with one every other day including all the other stuff he picks up along the way. It'

    Plenty of good coats out there. When I hear lads say a coat is no longer waterproof I wonder has he chucked it in the washing machine ? The best wasterproofer can be dirt and time, and a coat doesn't have to be stinking to be waterproof, LOL, but they usually are, LOL. The one thing I look for in a coat more than anything is a couple of zipped pockets. It's nice to enjoy a day knowing your keys and phone are safe and at the end of the day none of them are barbed wire proof.

    £7 sounds a lot Neil, I think its £4 here! Unfortunately there is no alternative, it is a magazine written by guys who are down to earth (pardon the pun) contributors to the mag who get out and actually get some dirt on them! No other mag gives you this! I read one article a night to make it last that little bit longer lol. I only wish more guys or gals would put pen to paper and send their experiences in and maybe it would go back up to 12 issues ( hint hint Neil) ATB mate I wrote a few article's for it over the years and the couple of times I spoke to Dave he was an a gentleman but it was

    Haven't got it in a few years. At £7 per issue to Eire (sterling and the euro are nearly the same now) is it worth it ?

    Good point Morton. But a lot of the old records of rescues in the rocks said that the rescued or otherwise terriers were often together with their quarry. To me that means that more than one terrier was entered to worry the fox and yet the same old timers often said they wouldn't breed of a terrier who couldn't worry a fox ? In Frains book "Willie Irving" there's several accounts of 4 and 5 terriers entered to account for him. IMO that's overkill, but at the end of the day it was about getting the job done. BUT, should some of those terriers have entered the history books for their prowess

    Been there done that too Phil but I wasn't paying good money for that right, like FoxDropper is and that IMO would piss off any man.

    Just my opinion that's all, but I've never heard a worker of wheatens use the words "soft coated". It's a K.C. term. And no one who wants to see their pups go to working homes will say they'll make good pets or workers, and that goes for all breeds.

    OK, he only seems to bathe in the drinking water when the colour is in it and it is down low. Never heard about sprinkling it on apple, good idea. He's a beauty but I didn't get the colour on him last year that I'd have liked. I bred red factors for a few years and always got them right but this mule is a bugger, LOL, I call him Pavarotti.

    Just proves that an animal being killed is not the problem, their problem is seeing so called toffs on horseback enjoying themselves.

    The canary mix I have him on has a little bit of egg food in it ?
  13. neil cooney
    Thanks lads. Next question, how do I get the little fecker to use his bath and not bathe in his drinker sending red water everywhere, LOL.
  14. neil cooney
    At least you don't have to sit up all night waiting for a fox, LOL. Run a roll of chicken wire around the bars and it "should" be problem solved.

    True story, An American tourist pulled up along one of the village characters here and asked "could you tell me the way to Navan please". "I could" said the local and kept walking.

    It's not uncommon to find an egg with blood on it. The one pecked to death is strange but bullying does occur with fowl. Usually when a chicken is pulled through wire or bars by a predator it takes two predators because normally the chicken wouldn't have gone near the predator, but with two they'll panic and one of the killers will get it's chance.

    Sad news indeed. Condolences to family and friends. At this rate the F.M.W.T. Club will have a branch in heaven. R.I.P.

    Next week is national diarrhea week. Runs 'till Sunday.

    That's what I was thinking. It's only for the mule in the kitchen and as I've enough for the whole moult I don't see a need to buy some, unless it could go stale and harm him ?

    No point in giving a baying type terrier a viagra, it only makes them hard.

    Would Carophyll Red that I used last year be alright to use this year ? It looks fine.

    J. Darcy is the man I'd be asking. Can't see why he would have a problem of one of the many photos he has been turned into a tattoo, and he has many many good photos.

    They're all different. The terrier I mentioned, Tanner, is my daughters terrier and was reared like a terrier would be by a young girl. Tanner's 9, my daughter's 20. And Tanner is very highly strung and will stick to anything including my 25" lurcher. Tanner also works like you'd expect a highly strung terrier to work and is silent in her work, which she's good at. But she was in the house every day and walked without fail every day by my daughter. She's in my van several times a week and loose in the garden for 5 or 6 hours a day. I remember one time she went missing and I searched everyw

    Very sorry to hear that. He was a very knowledgeable hunting man and it showed in his writings . R.I.P. Ron.
