  1. Just tried a new, improved Fenn Mk 4,...incredibly powerful spring,..would kill a Stoat easily,.no fecking doubts about that,...but,...
  2. In my opinion,...not all lurchers/running dog composites will retrieve their catch,...fact... A sensible and caring owner sometimes has to accept that fact...
  3. Super style of running dog, ideal for the man who wants to have a crack at whatever rises... Seen one or two really nice animals,...could have done with them back in the day...
  4. I've seen this dog at his work,...proper old style Moucher's jukel...
  5. It is a terrible thought, that some divvy fecker would ever attempt to inflict pain and injury on a beautiful running dog, just to save a poxy hare or rabbit...
  6. You are correct Eddie,...times are a' changing... What we did do, and what we had best be seen to be doing now, is destined to become the order of the day... This fecking Stoat thing is ridiculous,...quite how it all got to this I'll never know Hopefully, as stated earlier,..the Fenn will remain,..put on some muscle, hit a bit harder, then maybe we can all go back to how things were... If not,..a viable economic solution will have to be found,..however, same as when the Gin was banned and the Fenn came in,.they old Keepers ain't gonna like it.
  7. Read and inwardly digest the Raw Book Rabid, try and take in all the relevant info, then please educate me... I find it hard to assimilate written instructions,..but this is something I would really like to learn about...
  8. I don't read much these days,..but your prices are extremely affordable Bush Rummager... C'mon now lads,..your Xmas pressies are sorted, let's get em' bought
  9. Follow your heart mate,...I always do...
  10. Facts are,..(and I do hope my opinion is of some small comfort to lads, who try so hard to get their dogs fetching captured game back to them),..that..not all lurcher type dogs will retrieve. It is annoying,...even a deal breaker for some owners,..but, unfortunately, I believe it to be a fact. There are no canny tricks or mysterious techniques to force a regular retrieve of a live and kicking, squealing and scratching edible quarry. I start all my pups on the fetching business at an early age and endeavor to instill in them, a kind of behavioral pattern that hopefully becomes in
  11. The recall is the key,...if you have a dog that wants to be close you, and feels comfortable in your zone, everything usually falls into place...
  12. Looks to be a beautiful day, up there'... Nice fast looking jukel,...them ole rabbits will have to go some to evade her...
  13. Muntjac Mince,...scrambled eggs,..and a smidgeon of terrier meal...
  14. That poor old rodent is similar to the specimens examined by the Spanish Inquisition. It appears to have died a horrendous death, on the Rack...
  15. Maybe, the MK4 will put on enough muscle,... to effect a stay of execution
  16. Aye,..that wee man's geographical move, was like a gift from the Gods for me,...his loss was my gain... Such is life...
  17. This Stoat business has caused a whole lot of hassle...
  18. I've got a whole batch of BR...bought them right off a guy who was giving up the trapping and moving to Ireland... Nice, easy to tweak kind of tools,..serving me well...
  19. Well, I'm a bit of a soft touch with my dogs,( never used to be)...but, nowadays I tend to keep them as Pet/Companions... Curiously enough, I haven't noticed all that much difference in our contemporary rabbiters, to our older style 'serious' workers. We can still have a weekend away on the good productive ground, and catch whats on offer, ..but achieved, without the former hassle, stress, and strain... Dogs should be a pleasure to own, train and to live with, if they are not, best to part company for the happiness of all concerned
