    I wish it was that easy RH. I hav a real rough coated westie here you can use wont charge too much for the service,few hundred and pick of the litter,now i think thats very fair and at least you know it will put a bit of fire into your line of dogs,we can call them highland fells and say its a totally new breed created by us,out and out fox slayers. If a good rough coat was all I needed then why not ? One of the most handsome black type terriers I ever seen was from a Fell bitch and a Schnauzer dog and he was sold at a gamefair for £ as a worker. How many homes did that poor cur go

    OK, OK, I'll accept it but if anyone asks what method he has to say "bubble float" and not "on the fly", LOL.

    Sacrilege.

    JMHO but I agree there's no point in financially supporting a group if you feel they wont fight your corner. BUT it would do no harm whatsoever if everyone who works lurchers and longdogs wrote them a nice well written letter just like Dog Man did. There's nothing to be lost by doing so and if enough folk wrote they might start to take note. Like I said, JMHO.

    I love that coat on him, wish I could get it back on my terriers.

    Why don't you tell the lads Fatman what you were told a while back when you were Deer stalking ? Or is it too distasteful ?

    No infringement Neil just that I chased the same thing once lol.Thought someone would of guessed who Craggers is to be honest lol. Does he write books ?

    Done, and thanks for the MR, threads about me usually start with "Cooney you b*****d" , LOL.

    You can pop up a deadbait with a syringe Neil,straight into the swim bladder,or stuff them with ethafoam,both work brilliantly,if pushed you can even use a quill/balsa float,but make sure you wire it to one of the trebles incase the bait comes of on the cast.Dont want grebes etc swallowing a waggler lol.Used this method for years its very effective,you can also pop up eel sections by injecting air under the skin,these float like a cork for hours .atb Dave I haven't fished for Pike in a few years but did used to inject air into the swim bladder of dead baits. But it's the using a barrel l

    I reckon 2-1 will be the final score too.

    He was looking for the meat that's usually left out for him, simple as that, LOL.

    I'm not sure FD what you think the argument is going to be about, there was or never was such a thing as the Greyhound Fox, or , Craggers has made an infringement on your privacy ? If it's the second I'll keep my nose out. If it's the first then IMO I would say that in parts of these isles before transport and communication became modern there were indeed sub species of different mammals. If not sub species then definitely different colours and sizes within a species. It's only when human intervention takes place does the gene pool get mixed up. JMHO.

    There was a very sad case about 4 miles from my house a few years ago where a tourist visiting Newgrange was abducted and murdered. Her body was eventually found and what delayed the identification process was the damage done to her body by wild predators, in this part of the world that can only be rats, foxes and badgers. It was her voice box and dental records mostly destroyed. As for smelling up through the earth ? That was an old trick done years back to stop birds spreading poison. The poison was buried with meat and that night would be dug up. I've twice seen were dogs were buried

    It was a bit better last night and one thing I got out of it was that method of a floating fly fished mid depth on a running ledger and tweeking the line. I've never seen that before and I wouldn't insult a fly by putting it on the same line as some lead but if you used an air filled minnow or other dead bait I could see that being effective for Perch or Jack Pike. Even a floating plug tweeked using that method might work.

    LOL, he was probably heavier coming out than when he went in.

    Watched it last week and even though I'm watching it again now I didn't think much of it. But there's nothing else on and a bit of sport on the box is better than none at all, LOL.

    Are you using a meat type bait ?Hedgehogs shouldn't enter a trap if you're using grain as bait, but rats will. I caught hedgehogs for 9 or 10 days in a row in a cat trap when using dog food as bait. On the 2nd last day I marked the Hedgehog with a bit of whitewash and sure enough he was in the trap the next morning. I had been catching the same one all along. I've caught plenty of hedgehogs in cages baited with nuts for squirrels or carrot and apple for rabbits. Strange but it happens There you go, hunting or trapping any animal will always ,eventually, make a liar of us, LOL.Glad to s

    There used to be a farmer here in County Meath who had a reasonable sized herd of feral Goats on his land and now and again someone would ask him for a Goat. They'd either want it for keeping the weeds down around the place or a lot of dairy men back then used to keep a Goat with the cows to keep noxious weeds down. This farmer had several Collies and he'd take you out with 2 of them and you'd pick out your Goat and he'd use the Collies to separate it and actually catch it and hold it. It was worth seeing. IMO running them with lurchers on most ground they tend to live on would only resu

    London Aquerrium, ?, isn't that the gay club right next to Westminister where all the MPs go after work ? Good luck with that one Jigsaw, getting blown in that club would be very likely I'd say.
