    Just out of interest, what type of hunt is the scarrview? Are they harriers? Where is there hunt country?

    Firstly must say they arnt my type of dog. But the half dozen iv seen work have never made a noise while working. Got injured less than other types of running dog, worked heavy cover when lighter lurchers wouldnt and where well trained and sound with stock. They worked larger quarry and I had a respect for the job they did even tho it wasnt my type of dog work. But unfortunatly they do attract the numpties of the dog world in some cases.

    Same here, but it wont do tories any harm to not get our votes in Euro elections. Well said, its interesting how many people call the BNP nazis and then try to justify banning a political party. Remember the nazis also banned hunting with hounds.

    The antis cant really step it up more than they have been doing, the death of a hunt follower as an example. The court ruling a short time back will make prosecutions even less likely. The ruling more or less said you cant find a pack of hounds guilty so film of a pack hunting a fox is of no use, it must show huntsman encourageing(with intent!!) hounds, fox etc all in one shot. The exmoor huntsman who was found guilty was only fined £500 (he got off at apeal), whats £500 quid for 4 years of hunting between all the followers. Keep hunting!

    I once read a book by some romany who claimed to be a "king of the gypsies". He went on and on about the romany way of live and how they were discriminated against then he told the story about how an ice cream van pulled on site so they ripped it to pieces and stole all the guys stuff "that will teach people to try and make money off the gypsies" he laughed! How do people with no jobs drive such big posh veichles? Do some people really belive that these old fashioned "true romanies" survive by roasting hedge hogs and mending pots and pans? Sorry to hijack your thread which should be con

    The amount of people iv met with a black terrier and when iv asked them about it they have said its a PEDIGREE patterdale!! They will go down the same road as the Parson jack russel, saw one in the pub the other day, the owner told me all about how it was designed for hunting and lectured me for hours, bloody thing was a skinny, shaking, leggy weak dunghill! But its OK its a PEDIGREE!!!

    Excuse my gramma Why dont you just ask the game handling establishment? instead of going behind there backs and above and beyond your job MR BUSY BODY. I stand by what I say, who needs the police to do there job when people like you do it for them!!! What are you in your spare time a special constable!!!! As for wildlife liason officer's there no better than the RSPCA. Ours in Lancashire has been fairly good, certainly better than RSPCA scumbags.

    About two years ago I knew of 6 lots of kennels broke into within two weeks round here. I dont keep many dogs now and what I have are in the house, just cant take the risk anymore. I make and sell kennels and am working on a "sercurity plus model" with extra thick bars, internal hinges and a cctv camra included.

    Its defo not a curlew, if its size of a chicken egg its not a woody. Iv never known cuckoo lay in pigeon nests. Could be owl or grebe or simply a chicken egg!!

    Make a point of going seeing this nowty old bint again when she has calmed down, if the place is full of rabbits and she could sort permission its worth biting your lip for.

    If you put decoys on the ground then your only likly to attract any pigeons that are already within your garden. Try lofting some decoys up a tree and hide within range. Wish I had a garden like yours!

    Or you could use my system. Start really wide at the top with all the best intentions of keeping it that way, then as you get deeper, taper it in like a cone so you have to dangle your mate in by his feet, the bottom of the cone should be just wide enough to wedge his head and shoulders in and all loose earth falling in the sides cos iv not thrown far enough back. I cant work out why im now banned from the spade work!!!

    I tried this before I posted but it didnt work at the time. But iv just got back from work and she has been off and eaten, drunk etc so im just going to leave front off nest box now and let her do her own thing. We used to lock the broodys on then let them out and tether them next to water food etc as we had so many but as iv only got one now I cant see any benefit to locking her on. Its been a long time since I did any rearing with broodys. To be honest I dont know what breed she is, bit of everything, I only borrowed her to hatch these eggs. Shes sat on 8 aseel eggs, so I dont want it to

    When setting eggs under a broody iv always blocked the hen on the nest and let her off twice a day to empty, eat and drink. Iv set my broody on pot eggs on monday then swapped em for real eggs yesteray. The proplem is she hasnt eaten, had a drink or emptied whenever iv let her off, she just fights to get back on the nest. Iv now just left the front of the nest box open to allow her freedom to food and water. Have I done the right thing? Do I need to worry shes not eaten etc?

    I tend to check everyday when moles are at their most active as I guess a blocked trap wont catch a mole, but as has been said double catches drop when doing this. Personally I cant do much over weekends especially in spring as a lot of the land I cover is on open/public access or areas of natural beauty close to urban areas so at weekends some areas are full of nosey walkers. I also cant use big markers for my traps for the above reasons so everyday checks in difficult areas are necessary to reduce lost traps. In general, rightly or wrongly I will check every other day where its possible to l

    Hi mate, Wales is a bit far for me to go trapping at the moment so I wont volenteer!! lol. Ask around the locol area for amole catcher or try traditional mole catchers register( think thats what the websites called) and they will put you in touch with a local one. Im not to far from you in Manchester, just the other side of Bolton, so ifyou wanted to come out with me one morning i'll show you how to set a trap (as long as you pomise to only catch Welsh ones and not set up in compitition!!!lol) Ian

    Be careful with the .32's I once saw a guy shoot a calf and the bullet came out at a funny angle and took his toe off! Iv also shot horses with one and had the bullet come out the neck. As has been said its all down to the police force, I know hunt terrier men who cant get one of their own but can use the hunts under the huntsmans supervision while Hampshire let me have 3, two .22's and a .32.

    When I first started mole catching I was useing my late farthers traps as he had been a mole catcher. Eventually I needed more traps so ordered the first I came across from a keepers supply firm. They turned out to be of the big cheese variaty!!! I spent a very frustrating week with empty and blocked traps until I heard a trap I had just set spring up. I pulled up the trap along with one vary alive mole which used its front feet to push its head free and drop back into it run and disapear. The whole load of traps went straight into the nearby pond!! My answer to the question would be yes t
