    I'm not being funny mate but you will find it hard keepering if there's no estates near you and if you have dogs, you'll find it even harder if you have dogs to think about too. You wont find an aprenticship either. I know lads with years and years of Keepering and shoot days experience and they can't find an aprenticship for Keepering. Your best bet is to get to a decent college to study Keepering, but for most decent courses you need experience.

    You either need a very good dog trainer and you personally need to spend alot of time with him or give him to an experienced home. I know it may be devistating to give a dog away that you have such a strong bond with would be. Try the advice i have given you and what i have given you via PM, the advice is top noch as it's from a dog trainer/handler from the army and he knows what he's talking about. Best of luck.

    One good thing though.... If I ever get a dog, I'll read through these threads and act on the good advice contained in them. Because this horse can drink.... So you would be following all of my advice Droid.

    Enforce to the dog that YOU are it's boss and he WILL do what you ask of him.

    Right, it's either take the lazey option and buy an Halti collar which will stop his pulling Immediately or you do the traning option. The way how i was told by a dog handler from the army is when the dog starts pulling, turn direction or run backwards and then forwards and when his head gets beside your left knee say heel and then reward him when he's heeling. It will take ALOT of time and energy. If you don't know anything about dog training and can't get a dog trainer or someone local to help you out then i would advise you to get an Halti collar. They're ten pounds but i can assure you tha

    Haha, yeah. they should do something constructive with their time like look after their family and their own business instead of poking it in every one elses.

    If it's Labour that have came up with that plan, it's only because they're gasping for some more votes. Get Labour out and Conservative or BNP in.

    I don't hang them personally. I just cut the breasts of them and throw the rest away. As most of the meat is on the breast i just cut them off. I like pheasant fajitas. I don't like plucking them as it takes ages and the skin rips a fair bit, I have met a bloke who can pluck pheasants very fast and make no rips or minute rips but it would take alot of practice to be that good.

    No it isn't Unless you live North of the border OTC Huh? The keeper where i work said that you can get in a load of shit for fence snaring foxes, as if they are found hanging if they tangle the snare around the fence they will get strangled to death and if found by an anti you can get put in court and have a strong case against you. I'll re-check with the keeper but he sames to think that you can't. Whatever he 'seems to think' matters not in this case, law is law and there is no law in England or Wales that states that you cannot set snares on fences for foxes. Fact.

    Snares should be checked twice a day, max 12 hours. That's not the law in England. It's atleast once every 24 hours. My snares do get checked dawn and dusk, but the law is once every 24 hours.

    I don't think that's always the case with Genetics, i think it's dependant on the dominant Genes whether your immune to something. If you inherrit the recessive gene, then you could be liable to catch the disease. If you inherrit the dominant gene, then you may be partially immune.

    If you read the rules, then take them in, then use common sense, then you will have your answer. EDIT: Spelling error

    Just to double check, you do know how to set them don't you? No fence snaring for foxes, as it's illegal. Do you have something appropriate to dispatch it with, Shotgun or Rifle.
  19. Wanna be farmer
    I'm not having a go at you, i'm telling you that you SHOULD NOT be setting traps if you don't know how to safely set them. Traps can be dangerous, especially Fenns. And you can break many laws through setting traps if set or placed incorrectly. Plus i tell you to get a job, because that is what i had to do.
  20. Wanna be farmer
    No mate, there are aload of plod on here and grasses, so you will just end up in the nick eventually. And it gives fuel for tha antis and gives the sport an even worse name.
  21. Wanna be farmer
    it's quite easy to prove, you just examine the picture for bullet or shot holes which any anti with any brains would do.
  22. Wanna be farmer
    it was about my bitchs first retrieved fox i am well chuffed,but unfortunatley its not what this site deems appropriate like i said i doubt il bother again When some one says 'shot and retrieved' It's blatently obvious to anybody that it wasn't. It just gives the antis fuel. If it's about dogs and foxes in the same sentance, it's likely that the post/topic will be removed.
  23. Wanna be farmer
    IF you don't have any knowledge in this subject, then why are you after snares and traps? Because surely you won't know how to use them and correctly set them.
  24. Wanna be farmer
    Get a job. Drop the attitude too, it won't get you anywhere. I'm only fifteen too, my mum and stepdad give me NOTHING. I have to work for ANYTHING I want. From working I have got a fair few fenns and other traps. It would be great if there was a forum where as soon as you joined and told them you were young they would give you things. I tried it a long time ago but all the replies i got was 'work for you stuff', i took that advice onboard and now i have alot through working.
  25. Wanna be farmer
    Haha, i bet some of them have been answered in that mannor for a laugh, even though it's your future, some don't care.
