Extract from BASC The Government is proposing to abolish the game licence and game dealer's licence as part of an overhaul of the outdated game laws. The planned changes will first undergo a period of consultation. No change to the law is expected until after the 2006/7 shooting season. People intending to shoot game or deer on unenclosed land should therefore renew their game licence for the coming season. I've just bought mine. A lot of people don't bother You don't need it for pests I don't think (pigeon, rabbit etc)

I thought it worth updating you on an experiment I did in the spring. Before you get too excited it didn't work - but it was interesting. I netted up a set of holes and then dropped in one of those smoke pellets that you use to test chimneys. To start with the smoke just billowed out of the same hole then suddenly it sucked back in, just like a scene from Backdraft. Over the next couple of minutes a brief puff of smoke came out of all the other holes in turn. But no rabbits. I tried it on another warren and got exactly the same results - it even showed up a holed I'd missed under a p

Common Buzzards prey mainly on small rodents & mammals, though they will take reptiles, amphibians, large insects, invertebrates & young birds. They will also feed on carrion, often leading to them being accused of killing such things as new born lambs. Their preferred method of finding prey is 'still hunting', sitting on a post, looking for food. Buzzards will use also wind-hovering due find their prey & are comfortable searching for beetles & earthworms by walking around on the ground. The colloquial name "Dancing Hawk" stems from their habit of landing in open fields (often

I was going to start another thread this morning but might as well bang it on here. I had 25 wires out last night 10 fence wires and 15 peg/tealer - and caught nothing There are cattle in the field so I have to put all of then round the fence line - some of the rail fence itself and others on tealers in the hedge. Any advice on the fence set ? It's a rail fence so I've put them like this I know that there's traffic here because were a couple that had been pushed aside The others didn't seem to have had a touch Still - atleast I got to stalk a few w

As you say. Not good news.

You're right Chilli. It's always the tragic cases that make the news and statistically this is a very rare occurence. Apparently the problem was that the bacteria got into his bloodstream - in this case through a boil on his thumb. I guess it's the usual case of cover any cuts or open wounds and wash your hands. And keep an eye open for the symptoms. Not much fun though if you get it

Cross post from another forum RABBIT FEVER - A rare infection (less than 200 cases per year in the U.S.) caused by the bacteria Francisella tularensis. F. tularensis is found in many animals (rabbits) and may be transmitted by direct contact or via insect bite (ticks and deer fly). Humans can also contract the illness via the direct contact with the infected animal carcass (break in the skin). The illness is characterized by an ulcerative lesion at the site of the inoculation with regional lymph node swelling, pneumonia, fever, chills, headache, muscle pains, and joint stiffness. Risk fact

I think that's they've migrated into cities more now rather than living out in the countryside. It's probably a commentary on how peoples skills have changed - able to survive better in a familiar environment with identifiable sourced of food rather than fending in the wild. I hadn't thought about it before I wrote that and I don't mean this to be offensive, but there's an interesting parrallel with urbanisation of foxes. Someone could probably get a thesis out of that.
