  1. Never gonna be world beaters but they'll give you 110% on all quarry. all depends on if you do pest control for a living or hobby I suppose
  2. Nice to just get out and have a go bud, not all about numbers. Too many people worry about big numbers and not having a sociable day out the craic. Good post and good pictures Atb, Blackstaff
  3. lol, Cheers !! Next time I won't be leaving it anywhere in your vicinity !!
  4. They will never beat a pure whippet on speed, but get a good'n and they'll do the job for you, give you some good fun along the way and always have the strength to go the extra mile when the going gets tough.

  7. Needs some permission on my doorstep !! Going to pester the local land owners untill they give in :D

  8. Sire is Bigland Boy, Dam is a Stafford. He's about 22 / 23 tts and around 40 / 45lb. They do what I want from them
  9. Nice write up bud Was nice to get out for a couple of hours and have a chin wag and catch up. Fingers crossed this cold weather stays for a bit and we manage to have a few full days out. Couple of pics from today. I didn't take many as the snow was quite bad and didn't fancy ruining the camera
  10. Cheers all As for the anti, I'm just looking forward to going back before the end of the season and doing the 2 / 3 bury's that are in full view of her front windows Should be amusing . . . .
  11. The lady who's garden we were ferreting was fine. She was glad that I handled it the way I did and even apologised to me !! She was of the same opinion as myself and Jon that it had nothing to do with her and she trespassed. My permission said she will speak to the Anti and let me know how it went, and that we did the right thing to not antagonise the situation any more. She also said that she needs us back soon which is always a bonus. I'm just glad I had my bitch out and not my dog as I would imagine that the situation wouldn't of ended up with her going home with 3 ill mannered, uncontroll
  12. About time you done the fecking write up :D Here's some pics to go along with the story, hopefully !! Rascals bitch Here's the link for the full set of the day's pictures - http://s1106.photobucket.com/albums/h372/Blackstaff-Photography/Hunting%20pics/Ferreting%20Jan%2013/?albumview=slideshow
  13. I dropped off a few pelts yesterday to a lady who reckons she's going to brain tan them and make something ? I'll give her a few more and see how she gets on. If whatever she makes comes out any good I'll give her a load more and she can make me something for supplying the pelts
  14. Anyone know who make Wyre Valley wellies ? Bought some at the Midland Game Fair and they've split already. Not a happy man atm !

  15. Hi Del, always up for a day out bud Pm me and we'll get something sorted. Obviously I'll bring my camera and see what unfolds. Would be nice to bring 1 of mine up and see how similar / different that are in characteristics too Atb, Blackstaff
  16. @ Lab - I know the guy, our kids go to school together and see him all the time. Bottom line is the dog got a bit more than a telling off and imo the decent thing to do was pay As for the original thread the guy should be forth coming with the money without a doubt. If not for the consideration of the pup but to be selfish and try to protect his dog ? If not then the only way is to ring local Police dog warden, ( anonymously @ first ) and see how you stand in the eye's of the law ?
  17. Good work Del. We've only managed to get out 3/4 times so far this year and only 1 of the trips I've bothered to take the nets. Not enough rabbits down here to catch them all. Plus when you bolt to the dags it's heart stopping stuff, dogs get a decent run and you leave a few breeders to keep your land for next year, winners all round
  18. If you know the bloke then I would say you'll have to make a visit to him. I'm hoping the bloke has a back bone and will offer to pay the bill without asking ? I've had 2 situations before with mine. 1 of which was their dog was driving mine mad, constantly trying to hump her. I did warn the guy but he laughed and said his dog needed telling off ! Eventually that happened BUT I still paid his vets bill. IMO the right thing to do. Hope the pup makes a swift and full recovery
  19. Used to take my bitch all the time until i had my 2 div's. Now I take my bitch when the lurchers are broke, but she always come ratting and bushing. Something a bit special when they manage to get a rabbit or 2 My bitch is now known as ' The soft mouth Stafford ' in our circles Defo not the case, but anything that is getting caught in her jaws isn't coming out. Rabbits are good for ferret food, or normally just the back end is good enough for fodder. Take her out, enjoy yourselves and hopefully you'll get a couple in the bag
  20. Would of loved to win that, cracking winners prize. Hey ho we all showed that we're not just knuckle dragging wildlife killers and can operate more than a Lurcher Merry Christmas all
