Just my tuppence worth regarding the big beasts & how my dog's dealt with them,It wasn't always possible for a dog to get one over & just hold it steady in a throat hold,some of them big boys have necks much wider than what you could wrap your arm around & a dog would be pretty ineffective attached to it in most cases or at least that's how I found things with my curs,I found that my dog's were extremely hard on them wherever they grabbed them,once they had 'disabled' them & prevented them from going anywhere then they proceeded to move to the head end,this was daytime & th

Good reading,some cracking animals & beasts too..top stuff

Had ourselves a wander out yesterday morning,was extremely tough going to be honest,we still managed to put some miles in out on the mountains. Where we parked must of been like the inside of a freezer,just look at the pic showing the temperature in the motor,my Garmin Fenix watch indicated that we walked almost 17 miles,a lot of that was due to having a long walk to get to the base of the ascent up the mountains as the road to my usual park was blocked due to snow/ice. You may see my minimum & maximum heart rate on that graph too,your max heart rate should be 220 minus your age,mine shoul

I was planning on heading out this morning,I've been up since 1.30am,it was snowing really good at that hour but has since turned to rain here & you wouldn't know it had snowed at all,the reason i didn't venture out was the mountain weather forecast gave details of snow/sleet with winds of upto 50mph with a wind chill temp of -18C..I couldn't see it being too much fun on the high tops at daybreak so I'll head on up there tomorrow when at least its forecast less windy & temps only to get to about -10C & its to be dry & brighter too. This animal here hasn't the best of jackets &a

Just old Canon dslrs mate,nothing fancy at all..I have a few Canon 7d,Canon 5d,Canon 650d,Canon 50d & a Canon 350d..don't get too mindset in high megapixels it means absolutely nothing unless your blowing pics up to poster size etc,a decent lens on any of the aforementioned cameras will get you decent pics,the 7d does take more pics per second than the others so for fast action pics it's a good choice. We're I to only own one I'd probably say the 7d of the one's I own but I do like the old 5d Classic. All just bought off eBay and none more expensive than £200

The two dog's I have out of Boots have both suffered major setbacks in their life mate,this dog here Bear broke his neck as a young dog,at the time he looked like he was going to make a serious dog,day or night came alike to him,very fast dog, brilliant retriever & regardless of how big or how hard it was he dealt with them,as a young dog he showed more wind than his sister Rose,obviously him breaking his neck stopped his progression in its tracks. I like the dog regardless of his disability,what he can still do he does it very well. Rose snapped both bones in her front leg back in Februar

It'll of been one of the original ones from centuries ago that you seen at graft no doubt was it?

I agree with you in regards to what was the main reason that brought our downfall,that being the Labour Party & their promise of banning hunting with dog's which had long been a controversial topic just to gain votes that would tip thing's in their favour at the election,if you can recall we got word that the Tories would reverse what Labour brought in if they regained power at the next general election,again to secure our votes,many voted for them only because of what was said in regards to the reversal of the hunting with dog's act,the politicians lied to us as they very often do.

I just want to set the record straight here,I did mention about Boots having mated a bitch earlier this week & truthfully I didn't have a motive to promote that as a sales pitch nor as a motive to promote Boots up for stud. I'm sorry if it came across as that,it never crossed my mind at all, I was only putting it out there as hopefully being a turning point regarding the awful run of bad luck I've recently endured. I only started this topic as a bit of craic regarding my own dog's & our recent adventures, nothing more & nothing less than that,just a bit of banter & to share a f

Good to hear your back at it so to speak,I'll not be doing any maths regarding what you've caught Joe but hope your keeping the dog's busy & enjoying running them again good luck for the remainder of this season & let's hope the dog's stay free of injury
-
I started the topic back on the 15th December there wasn't any bitch in season to be mated that I knew about ,the lad only rang me this past Sunday to ask me about a mating,the bitch was mated on Monday & Tuesday of this week so my 'reappearance' as you call it was nothing to do or couldn't of been anything to do with what you mention.I didn't ask for a penny regarding a stud fee nor a penny for fuel to trail up into Scotland with my dog,the lad offered but I refused. I mentioned it because this past month or so has been nothing short of suicidal with all the bad luck I've had,I've had gra

Those that read Darcy's last book may recall seeing a chapter titled the 'Beast of the Bowl'..well that is part of the bowl in this pic behind Boots just the other day,it's been a fantastic 'watering hole' forfor many year's..we have some great memories & some that I'd rather forget hunting up,on & around the bowl..have a tiptop day everyone,just away out with the mongrels now,watch how you all go

What I've found is that there isn't much difference at all by changing the bulb,far more improvement by changing the head if you have them available or obviously get the next size lamp up.
