  1. Theres working and then theres working! Not all ferrets graft to the standard expected. And if anyone says different they either havnt seen many ferrets work and been a bit lucky or have low standards. The difference between a pet ferret and a 100% working ferret is that a pet will still be kept even if its found lacking, a ferret kept 100% for work that is shite wont be tollerated and certainly WONT be bred from 'because its cute'! How many times have you picked a ferret up after having bolted a few rabbits and doubted whether the ferret was lying to you about there being no more at home,
  2. Hunting can be cruel, wounding with a gun, a drawn out fight with hard quarry or even a rabbit in a stop end with a determined ferret chewing at its arse, but that clip aint hunting. Them leather clad numfucks are just f*****g about like pricks and to put it on the internet for an ego boost is retarded.
  3. Always look forward to your summer harvest posts rolfe. Its a bit of dog work I look forward to doing one day.
  4. It works both ways imo. Just as many lads with big dogs no good for big quarry that say they have a decent rabbiting dog (especially when trying to get rid of it). A dog may catch rabbits but that doesnt make it a decent rabbit dog.
  5. I think when the site was down and IanB was doing 'his thing' it erased all the posts within a certain time frame. A few of mine have gone also...
  6. I noticed alot in chesterfield when I was working there.
  7. A good rabbiting dog is a well trained hunting companion. Those that knock it are too slow between the ears to train a decent rabbiting dog and so knock those that do. Anybody can get a dog to chase and catch the odd rabbit, its a different ball game training a dog to deserve the title of a true rabbiting dog imo. How many of the lads that knock the rabbiting men have trained a running dog to work the lamp properly, work with ferrets, nets, bush as part of small rabbit pack and retreive to the gun?
  8. Sorry about ya dog fella. Shit happens unfortunately and its no good blaming the travellers for it even if they are c**ts. Sounds like alot of shit happened that night and your looking for someone to blame? Like people have said already, thats working dogs for ya. Just because the travellers and police were wankers doesnt mean it was either of their fault. Get another pup in for next year and consider it a hard bit of life experience.
  9. I wonder who from this site will be on next week? lol. Looks like its the naughty keepers turn.
  10. Cracking litter of kits, well reared and bred for work. Thanks again for mine and the coffee. Its always nice to have a chat with you and A. Hope I can repay you both. Anyone after a few kits cant go wrong with these!
  11. I had a quik lamp last night to bag a couple for the ferts and ill keep up the short sessions untill September/October when we will step it up through till the end of March. Sharpens the dog up for when we start properly and untill she is fit enough for a good few hours of lamping. Also with last season being her first and only having done limited work I feel she will benefit from a few of the easy late summer rabbits.
  12. Nice land for a bit of ferreting. None of this blackthorn, bramble and hawthorn that I contend with! lol
  13. Ill second dark angel! Jessica Alba in leathers giving a bike a good thrashing and generally kicking arse.... Just a shame it finished without really coming to a good conclusion, needed a third series. Also game of thrones for anyone that hasnt seen it.
  14. For fecks sake lads it was a bloody joke. The point being that fuels expensive but it would still be cheaper than buying from a butcher. Its an option, yes, but all im saying is butchers are expensive. Im not actually suggesting to drive around actively looking for squished rabbits.
  15. I wouldnt like to pay butchers prices! lol. It would be cheaper driving around in the morning looking for roadkill than buying rabbits from a butcher a 4 quid a poxy rabbit!
  16. Is it a case of the only reasonable working fox terrier blood left is on the continent? I've noticed the posts by continental europeans often have a fox terrier or two knocking about with a bloody nose...
  17. Been harvesting round my way for almost 2 weeks now. Alot of barley is down and they are getting through the rape too! The rain last weekend put a holt to it for a few days.
  18. Windyhill you wolly! In my opinion some of the strongest characters who you will have a good bit of banter with often come across a bit strong on the internet and in text as it is difficult to grasp the context of what they are saying and it is often taken the wrong way. Im sure Dances will forgive you. Bless ya
  19. Tried them and they do it...but only if you get them chipped as well...£52 per pup.... Thats the law mate, all vets will insist on that. But not at 3-5 days old! Is that what they wanted to do? Chip the pups at 3 days old?
  20. Hes a right lump jisaw. Looks soft as a brush! Wouldnt stop the police shooting him over here unfortunately.
  21. You f*****g heathen! Its a joke scothunter. To chop up a steak and stew it should be a crime!
  22. You bought the dog last week off of a bloke in the pub, he told ya it was a good rabbiter. What he did with it before was his business. Feck knows, guess we will see in a week... You could just say it keep barrelling into brambles and fencing after rabbits though, hence the scars....there's no a lot they can prove really is there? It all seems like a silly and expensive inconvenience more than anything if you ask me. Depends if the RSPCA got involved and it went to court. They will have their 'experts' telling everyone how the scars are inicative of a certain type of work. Thin
  23. .17 hmr rifle the only way Most people can't get fox on a 17hmr ticket let alone old brock, the powers that be always prefer overkill. If I was to hazzard a gues I would say they will want a min of .243.
