  1. What model is that if you don’t mind me asking?
  2. Is the sportdog powerful enough for a fairly stubborn dog?
  3. Can anyone recommend a make/model of static/electric shock collar for using to train hounds to livestock?
  4. Has this show been on yet this year or when is it on?
  5. I have just bought a set of T5 collars and the Astro 320 handheld. There does not appear to be an option to activate bark detection on the handheld. I know someone who has a T5 that has working bark detection but some online info says the T5s don't have this feature. It is useful for hounds hunting out of hearing. Can anyone advise on this. I am in ireland by the way.
  6. Does the sport dog Tek 2 have bark detection?
  7. Does anyone use one of these with there pack and if so where is the best value for money in the UK or Ireland to get one?
  8. You can hunt foxes on a Sunday and all year round as they are not classed as game no game can be hunted or shot on a Sunday unlike the south. Was a way of stopping the lower class people who worked six days a week from getting out do do a bit off shooting or hunting in the olden days the old hands do say.
  9. Thanks footman. I rang the countryside alliance and they told me you can hunt hares in the north from the 12th of August until the end of march unlike the shooting season for them which d from the 12th of Aug until 31 Jan. Except on a sunday no game can be hunted sunday.
  10. What is the open season in Northern Ireland for hunting hares with a pack of harriers as I am told that the shooting and hunting of hares are under different legislation. All answers welcome.
  11. can you empty your message box please Albert. thanks

  12. The digger dogs looking well Irish Lurcher good to hear he's still going strong.
  13. Has anyone ever used a gill net such as a pike net to catch rabbits or hares? A fisherman beside me is giving it up and i was thinking of trying the nets out for hares.
  14. Right folks I'm wanting to net hares to relocate them but I'm completely new to it and was looking at long nets and gate nets for sale on the internet. What does 5 inch full mesh size mean as I taught this would be quite big if its the size of the square of mesh. Thanks
  15. I see a few cheap enough hunting horns on ebay around £15 has anyone tried them an if so which type?
  16. Have any of you read this book? I'm looking for a good book on hunting with hounds but there's a fairly low selection.
  17. was looking at the 'hounds' magazine website but you have to send them a cheque in the post to subscribe. Is it a good investment?
  18. Does anyone know of any good hound books that talk about breeding and scent and so on? I have a right few terrier books but haven't seen many hound ones.
  19. Some of the huntsmen that I know keep their harriers fairly bare and they look under weight. I like to keep my dogs looking well fed but not fat but some other men I know would say they are too heavy. These are lads that have hunted a lifetime and have brilliant dogs. What would your opinions be on this. Is it right to keep hounds light when hunting them?
  20. has anyone ever had a terrier that when stripped will be nearly bald at first? My terrier is ready for stripping but he has very little growing under the dead hair.
  21. I've been using Engemycin for the last year seems very good stuff. A clear yellow liguid injected under the skin. Has anyone else used it?
  22. Thanks for ur comment, he is an Irish Terrier/Deerhound/Wheatan X. Is that a pup of bob or digger by any chance?
  23. Mine are Geezer and Gypsy
