    Correct. Its important, that you mince it well first threw a good mincer. Feeding a good quality working complete, stops this from happening, but, if rabbits are minced raw, as well as chickens ect, it will be fine. Avoid big heavy weight baring bones, they will crack a dogs teeth. I know wild dogs wolfs ect eat them all the time ect, but a lot die in the wild too, far more then dogs that are fed properly. Utter bollocks! Edited to add, the bit about weight bearing bones is correct the rest is anti-raw properganda Enough of the abuse, just pointing out a fact, from pas

    "Civilise the savages!" Leave em to it I say, the place is a bloody mess and the more we interfere the worse it seems to get.

    I think the point here is that the man was protecting his family not his property. A lunatic was smashing his window through very agressively while the man and his family wer in the house and therefore was a serious threat to the safety of his family. Had the nutter not been acting violently I believe there would have been a different outcome! So dont go thinking you can start shooting at chavs in ya garden shed, unless of course they are trying to attack you and your air rifle just happens to be immediately to hand... A very fine line with things like this and one seemingly small

    There are other smelly things that live down holes, so unless you specifically know the difference, dont just have a wiff get a musky smell and think "charlie is home", and the size of the hole isnt a dead certainty either. Alot of basic fieldcraft in terrierwork, only experience will teach you. Edited to add, that that hole looks inocent enough and probablem holds a fox at the right time but my point was just because a hole stinks doesnt mean it stinks of fox. I only say this because I get the impression your quite inexperienced and dont want you getting into trouble.

    Alyssa Milano is! Well, that fucks up my plan of us two meeting and living happily ever after together

    The 'hearts and minds' of the public is indeed where our fight will be won or lost. Reading Nick Stevens new book he had some very interesting points on how the hunting community should be going about this, and its not too late to start now. How is it that the antis can throw money at their cause and get results but the hunting/shooting/fishing communities (who must have far more resources collectively) cant? It makes you wonder if we all took our memberships to the numerous pro hunting/shooting organisations out there then put it in a big pot and used it for political bribes, if we wo

    totally agree, thats why i said in my post not till after you have been a few times, i would never reject anybody who wanted to go and do a few pigeon, or a bit of ferreting (as long as they did the cover crops first )I cant understand where I have gone wrong on this one as it clearly state info via PM! now I know what has been offered is still to low (money wise) but my hands are tied, the keepers among us now how hard it is to extract money from the boss!! 'My beaters get well looked after and dont ask to go shooting or any other thing in return!' Obviously not. Beating is a w

    They might be pro hunting, but they are also keen on having as much funding being sourced from the private sector as possible... Wonder which one of their ideologies will come to the fore? hmmmm, i wonder indeed! Tbh we, the hunting community as a whole, are constantly having shit like this thrown at us, its getting to the point where personally Im sick of giving a toss, just gonna have to say "feck it, bollocks to ya, catch me if ya fecking can". Saying that, ill never stop trying to make a difference, but whats been done has been done and Im starting to ask the question "can

    I guess its at times like this we find out whether our new pro hunting tory led government were worth the vote...
  11. Born Hunter
    Yes but as you say its because you have build up a bond of trust with your keeper, you wouldn't expect a team of 10-12 beaters and 3/4 pickers up to have free riegn on the ground out of season..... Its 30 quid up here with lunch and cock shoot at the end of the year, you cant ask fairer than that. I agree, my position is beyond fair. But then I do more than just beat now, but all earnt through beating. However for a worthy beater I personally feel abit of ferreting or pigeon shooting is more than fair, under control of course. I just think that 20-30 quid a day isnt really fair on a

    Keepers need to learn that to keep good beaters youve got to be willing to give them a bit back, more than just 20 quid and a bacon cob! Beaters are becoming harder and harder to find these days for these exact reasons. No body should expect to get anything much before they have proven themselves worthy but oportunities should be made available to worthy beaters. Through beating I have free roam of the shoot anytime of year, pigeon shooting, dog work, all sorts. Because I earnt it and the keeper sees the benefits from a trusting relationship between beaters and keepers. Not knocking yo

    Ill keep you in mind, thanks.

    Anybody breeding ferrets from good PROVEN ratters? Im looking to get another couple of jills this summer specifically for ratting as well as alot of rabbiting obviously.

    So Ireland isnt completeley devoid of hares then jiggy, lol. Great write up, always nice to read something a bit different. That kelpie lurcher sounds a great allround hunting companion. atb

    Go and bleat about it to people that give a shit. That man made a stand for what he believed in and the b*****d antis murdered him. If the hunting community had our way the pilot and anyone else behind his death would be swinging from a f*****g rope!

    Sounds like a recipe for carnage, unless in the hands of a sensible and experienced dog owner. I bet there are gangster wannabes out there wanking themselves silly over these. Probably got a bulldog bitch ready to be lined to produce the ultimate chav penis extentions! I do like the dark one on the right mind you. Handsome lad he is A friend of mines got an akita, softest dog I know, real gentle giant.

    Physicist, work for an oil company. Its not where my heart is but its a very good career.

    I would love to run a proper strong red stag in the north with no more than a brace of good running dogs that know the game. Probably more of a dream than a reality...
  20. Born Hunter
    dogs trust never heard of that,good for you though heard there was another place aswell helped people out if they were on low income or unemployed.Its good to hear that there are organisations out there that do gen help people out with thier vet bills. PDSA are the other one

    I shouldnt worry about it pal, but im no dog behaviourist. As long as the lurcher doesnt have to sit in its kennel watching and listening to you playing/feeding the terrier there shouldnt be jealousy issues. Why cant you knock up another small terrier kennel? Tbh if ones gotta be in the house and one kenneled I would probably do it the other way round, just because terriers can be scutty dirty little fuckers when out and about, imo a running dog makes a better 'house' dog. Kennel em both if ya can though, no rush while pups.
  22. Born Hunter
    Seriously lads, just search the pages of the forum and there are a number of threads where Terriers have been killed in kennell fights or seriously mauled in the back of a car. The threads all go the same way, "They have been kennelled together for years from pup and never had a disagreement..." blah blah. Everyone says the same they have said here and a another lesson has been learned the hard way. Only a few months back my lamping partener lost a terrier to a bull lurcher he was looking after while he was with the dogs in the yard, the terrier decided to start and in a flash the lurcher
  23. Born Hunter
    Give it time. With more than 2 dogs kennelled together its not uncommon when a disagreement occurs that you end up with 2 on 1 and then you do get a mess. You may think they are the best of mates but shit happens, especially when terriers are involved!

    Whats wrong with scruffing? I agree that a picture of a dog being scruffed doesnt do the dog much justice but its hardly disrespectfull. Most terriers I know are quite happy being scruft. And as for pictures of dogs being scruft portraying terriermen in a poor light. Theres SHITE LOADS of worse pics on the net, for a start pics of dogs smashed to shit, now they dont do anyone any favours. I really dont get this 'scrufing is disrespectfull' thing that people seem to go on about...
  25. Born Hunter
    Your mate sounds like a right arse. He buys a couple of pet terriers and then decides his wallets a bit light so decides to get shot of them any way he can so he can buy in more stock just to breed, quite frankly, shite dogs! FFS keep him away from working terriers!
