  1. Krawnden has summed it up perfectly, obviously a man of much beagling... It is a sport I cannot get enough of myself. Good luck, you will definitely enjoy it.

    Drop Net

    I knew I had a few somewhere When I set it up, I undid the hitch on the bottom of the pole and pushed the foot line up to the top, then drew the bagging back from each side and used the heavier yellow peg to keep it all in place on each pole, the day before I used it I swapped these heavy ones for light ones which had a hole in them, I didn't take a photo but still have the pegs, the shape of them allowed them to come off without snagging easily on the net which I had problems with before. I put a pull cord which was 2mm braided nylon through the first hole and put a good thick knot in

    Drop Net

    The first night 7 on one drop, the second 9 and the night I dropped it three times 14 in total. But there was a lot of rabbits on that spot.

    Drop Net

    I needed a drop net back in January for a place...I hadn't got the time to start messing building one and to buy a ready made was pricey. After a bit of digging about I came on a method of using a quickest with clothes pegs and a pull cord, it worked very well and cost next to nothing. I set it out for a week before and it did take a few days before the rabbits would go under it, but after that it didn't bother them and I caught plenty, I dropped it three times over one night as well
  5. I did for some years have what I considered very genuine ferrets...I was never too keen to breed them as finding good working and caring homes is a difficult job...And in my area they seem to be bred by the bucket load annually. I sat still for too long, and have lost all but one of my workers...What remains will work, but they are not workers...
  6. I used to mine from a local man, he's dead now, £3.00 each or two for a fiver!
  7. Home brew is far ahead of what it was years ago...the results even with the kits are really good, well above the average beer. I've been making it along with other stuff for a few years. I would recommend giving it a go, you will be surprised. For wine I have found German reisling top notch stuff. Anything else, you can make spirits of sorts by fermentation using turbo yeast which is crazy stuff and will ferment sugar and Water to about 14% in a very short time, add a spirit essence of which there are hundreds of types from gin to absinthe and there you go. Some of these ar

  11. Looking forward to Shanes Castle , a great weekend to meet up with like minded genuine lurcher enthusiasts.
  12. Crazy that was in her eye all that time, she must have been seriously pissed off! Imagine how bad your eye feels when you get a bit of grit or sand in it, never mind enough wood to start a fire
  13. I do like the merles, not many in my neck of the woods
  14. I saw one of these only last week for the first time, used for deer tracking. A nice dog, very lively
  15. I have tried St Sixtus, it is a fantastic beer, definitely one of my favourites... It's good to see the uptake in craft beer recently and people starting to see the nonsense that is churned out by diageo and the likes is nothing but utter muck!! Budweiser is made from rice, and coors light is made from dextrose... That should you all you need to know about commercial beer!
  16. You have some GOOD times ahead, good luck!!
