Im wanting a new box for the back of my l200. However spending of upwards of £400 on one isn't an option. I could make one myself but I wouldn't want it to look cheap and homemade! So anyone know of reasonably priced ones to look at or ideas for me to make my own. Big enough for a cocker and a labrador. Sam

Same has happened with my hoggs moleskins. Stiching coming undone all over the place. Not impressed at all with them.

Cheers for the tips. Latest is i took her to a vet recomended by a shooting pal of mine and they're happy to dock her. Waiting on them to ring me tomorrow to tell me how much it will be but he reckoned absolute max would be £300. So its better than the first place. Before anyone thinks i put money ahead of the welfare of my dog, i dont. She wants for nothing. But the first vets were just rip off merchants!

Excellent dogs and good prices, wish the timing was different or I'd have one for sure. All the best with them though
-
Very nice. Got any sold already?

I wanted her to be docked but the breeder said he'd never had a problem with his 2 cockers with full tails so he didnt bother I wouldnt have another spaniel unless its been docked. The cost doesnt matter to me, she's becoming a good worker and she'll be worked a lot so i'd rather get her docked and be done with it. Now just need to find a vet thats willing.

Hi all, My little cocker Tilly has a full tail (due to a lazy breeder really even if he is my best mate...) Shes 14 months now and all pretty much all trained up and shes out with me either training or dogging in every night. Trouble is a couple of weeks back she cut her tail when working a hedge, i kept cleaning it and not letting her lick it but its not healing up because when she wags her tail and hits it on things it just starts bleeding again. Its not a huge cut but is annoying as it flicks blood around a bit sometimes. Cant bandage it, she'd just pull it off. Any ideas? Or anyone

Did any watch the 'gun dog' judging at crufts on tv last night??

My beretta a303 is good low recoil. But obviously depends on what carts youre using. Some have more felt recoil then others obviously.

I have use of a Polaris quad but tend to just use my truck to get about in.

He said small and manouverable and someones suggests a Hilux?! SWB Pajeros are small and manouverable, but are a bit thirsty. But then again show me a 4x4 that isnt! I love mine but its the 2.8 automatic. And i much prefer it to the manual pajero. The new shape Suzuki Jimnys are ok but very small inside and iv fitted new gearboxs to a few.

Im sure running dogs on hares is a great thing to watch, but it is illegal im afraid. I'm against the ban though. But lurchermen thinking they own all the hares in the UK, im so bored of that now.

Stay in the lurcher section then ey

Coming on a treat mate. Been working her through the cover crops and up the hedges now shootings over. Had her retrieving hen pheasants, partridge and pigeons to my hand. Ones iv thrown out into the covers for her to retrieve i mean. Iv also hidden dead birds in the hedges then i hunt her up to them so shes not just looking for a live bird but sweeping for the dead ones aswell. Theyll be plenty of pictures next season! -
I have seen hares carry on for another 100yds or so even after being hit hard though. But depends where theyve been hit obviously.

You say they do no harm but next saturday we will shoot over 300 hares. A few Hares on a field is fine, but when you get into numbers like that, they start doing some damage to the fields. They do one day of driven hares a year there, and theyre evidently breeding like crazy, so culling them off is a job thats needs doing. Next year there will be so many that they will have to do another day on hares and so it goes on. But i can appreciate its not everyones cup of tea. I mainly go for the experience of the day as its a bit different. And a chance to shoot with a different group of people.

Im on a hare shoot this saturday. I'll be taking 32g 5 Sipe cartridges with me.
