Your a Picky C**T. lol.

Don't mean to be a picky c**t, lol. But would you all really want a partner that was into the hunting scene? Me?... I dont think i would, i like my own space and wouldnt really want to have the missus along on all my hunting jaunts whatever they may be. Yeh i would want a girl thats understanding of what i do but don't think i would particularly want her to also hunt. Fecks sake, we need an excuse to get away now and again! lol

I recall a thread a while back when ditchy was still about, talk of what the wild polecat does in these hot temps... well the little chap finds a nice rabbit hole somewhere where it will be nice and cool because its below ground. I think then the thread went on to talk about adding a small accesable underground section to courts, it would be real simple as well, just dig a small pit lined with slabs or breeze blocks and a buried pipe leading to it. For access a couple of slabs as a roof that would be effectively at ground level and im almost sure all the ferets would spend the summer days in t

Would it not cook the poor buggers in the summer? lol

I love the way people are so willing to judge another form of hunting that most people know f**k all about. I dont know a great deal about boar hunting in this manor but i sure as hell arn't going to say outright that its cruel based on a few videos of dogs holding big boar. To me its bloody interesting and something a would love the oportunity to do one day.
-
I agree with you on this 100% wrong. These dogs would be good on badger here but if they were my dogs i would not put them on boar,you just know your dog going to get killed one day plus they aint killing the boar,just holding it,may be better ifthe owner of the dogs cut its throat asap but still the dog can get killed easily and this is cruelty full stop,cruelty in 2 respect,one your dog can get killed and 2 the boar is in no way shape or form humanely killed. If the dog cant kill it in a minute or so,it shouldnt be doing it. just my opinion on it. the sensible dog one was quite good b

Lets be honest if it was the weight i wanted then i would tie a f*****g brick to the barrell! The S410 wins it for me because its a good tool and has gorgeous looks to boot. A good mate of mine has a HW100 and it also is a good tool but i just dont like how it sits in my shoulder, just doesnt feel right for me, but his is the thumbhole version (if you can really call it that) and i have heard that the sporter is a better fit generally. And then theres the price, quite a difference i believe!
-
who needs a woman when youv'e got a thumbhole walnut stock S410 classic to look at................. yeh that is pretty sad!
-
Any stories you want to share about the dogs? Being your first bull crosses, what impression did they make on ya?
-
Purely based on what i would look for in a lurcher iv'e got a few ive seen over the years i like, Blackbob's beddygrey, big animal for this type of lurcher Nightvision's beddygreys Scotsman's brindle 1/4 wheaton 3/4 grey, soon as i saw it i liked the look of it, and probably what ill be looking for breeding wise in a lurcher And also Brummy's wheatongrey, cracking pick with it in the back of the motor looking like its cleaned out a jam jar! lol

All in a Mornings Work for a Pester
Born Hunter replied to Rolfe's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Trust me pal if you got the potential and interest in engineering then go to uni! It will be the best years of your life! Ive literally just finished my degree, graduate next month, and i dont want to stop beeing a student, lol. Once you've got a degree behind you think of it as a solid foundation for your future, even if you dont want to follow it up as an engineer, its a good qualification. You can then play around more seriously with the idea of becoming a pester and if it fails you will have a bloody good qualification to fall back on. You know it makes sense, lol. Back to the thread, -
I agree with keeping bloodlines between mates and mates of mates etc, people who you know are going to work them and test them to see weather they are worthy of carrying on the line. But as ive found it can depend on what exactly you want in a lurcher, sometimes the types of dog kept arn't what you are looking for and so you have to look further afield to find whats right. In which case more often than not money will have to change hands.

Has a fox pissed on your chips in the past or something? Because all you ever seem to want to do is kill every fox alive! Some people take pleasure in seeing them alive as well as hunting them.

I got absolutely piss wet through! Still good few hours. Anybody see that poor saluki x in the saluki class, poor bugger wasnt enjoying it much, lol. -
Absolutely gutted for ya pal. I remember when i dropped my first decent air rifle on a concrete floor, god i was crushed. hardly spoke for the next few days, lol. Keep ya head up and get out there and find some more permission, ask the land lady if you can use her as a reference as to your responsibility.
-
Boils my piss when people enforce their very offensive opinions of hunting on me, hardly ever happens but makes me want to slap seven bells out of them! But iv'e had the pro/anti hunting argument many times and i always leave them with nothing to say other than "well i think its cruel", no logical argument other than 'its cruel', fukin wake up, natures cruel, difference is we dont turn a blind eye to the reality of nature and accept it! f**k me i could go on all day, but ill calm down, lol.

Strictly speaking haw atomic/sub atomic particles 'bump' is condensed matter physics, lol.

dont use a rucksack as the rabbits wont be able to coll and theyll go green on the meat, also they want gutting as soon as possible or maybe up to an hour or less after shot or if this does not happen the meat will be tainted having a rucksack on is a right pain in the arse when shouldering a rifle as well, dont advise it myself.
-
Best ive found is a length of seat belt! Just tie it into a big loop and leg the rabbits onto it then wear it like you would a game bag.
-
That sounds fecking dangerous! lol. Heard of it being done on the old deer drives, but feck that.
-
Anybody know much about hare conservation? What things can be done to help local populationsn etc. Round my way we are not short of them but in some areas there are very few. Obvious things like, predator control and different farm management practices, but what else?

Its a good do, ive been the past few years as its just up the road, small but full of lurchers terriers and working dog men. -
Does anyone know exactly why there was bountys for dead foxes? Im assuming possibly during the war to protect valuable meat supplies, farm stock and game etc.

Do you not have trouble with mites etc?

Used quite a lot on the continent, not so much here. The problem you have with SG's is that they are useless over about 10 yards. AAA are a bit small, so you have SSG and Sp. SG in between which could be used in an emergency. Nice to have them bowl over on first go though ah right, just a thought from my 'inexperienced' head. Just thought if i had a 300lb boar charging at me with 4 inch tusks i would probably rather have a shotty handy than rely on having to place a shot from a rifle just right. Although, saying that if i had a choice i would have half a dozen dogo argintinos
