  1. Fantastic reading,fantastic Buck too..I'm not a shooting man but regardless of that I tip my hat to you. These are the types of posts I like to see & I appreciate the time you've taken to intricately describe the hunt. Fantastic,one of the best posts I've ever read on the forum. All the best Andy
  2. Hey up Ray,sounds like your currently going through a tough time matey,very sorry to hear about your wife & now the issue that has arose with Buck,keep on keeping on Ray,enjoy time with family buddy & on a side note Ray old Don of mine has a cancerous lump on his chest,it first surfaced when he was around 10 year's old,although the tumour has recently grown somewhat he's still here & he was 15 gone March. Buck is a tough old dog too & I'd not be surprised if he's still plodding on in a few year's time too..look after thyself & remember nothing lasts forever,not even bad luc
  3. Just returned from a few day's away on the Isle of Mull which is part of the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland, absolutely stunning place,so quiet it was unbelievable. The island only has a population of around 3000,the ferry from Oban to Craignure only takes around 50 minutes & for 2 adults,a dog plus our old motorhome the return cost was £49 all in,if you travel as a foot passenger it's £4.75 each way,so cheap as chips. I'd advise anyone & everyone to visit the island,there are at least 35 pairs of White Tailed Eagle's that reside permanently there along with slightly mor
  4. Great posts guy's,just having a few days away on the Isle of Mull at the minute in our old motorhome,be back home tomorrow hopefully. How about the guy heading to work on the paddle board up at Oban when waiting to board the early morning ferry on the second pic,he must of worked across the other side of the harbour somewhere.
  5. Yeah I agree bud the dogs just have to see them as part of the landscape & just totally ignore them, obviously where you are & I am here sheep are very numerous & a dog that isn't 100% trustworthy around them is no good,mine as pups are in with them from the very first day they go outside the garden fence.
  6. It's my son's dog matey & he's currently in a cell for being a naughty boy,I'm looking after his dog's until he's back home,the dog had seen me numerous times but always in the company of my lad, hopefully it doesn't remember him & he has to go through what I have to get her to like him again
  7. Lovely dog that is,I have one here that keeps a look out over thing's,protective is a word I would use extremely strongly to describe her. She's bred from one of the very best lines there is out there,she is what she is,she's not been hunting & probably never will,I wouldn't trust her around other dog's especially when things were 'busy' & the dog's had something. Honestly I feed her every day yet it took her 10 month's to come to me,I couldn't get her locked in her kennel when I needed to nor get a lead on her, I even had 3 lump hammer's strategically positioned should she ever overst
  8. Big bad Boots,shit scared of a wooly
  9. Brilliant stuff that bud, really enjoyed reading that. Yeah I can well remember the day's of film with the 24 & 36's & often having not loaded the film into the camera correctly & letting light in perhaps getting one or two pics at best out of a 48 exposure roll of film! How times have changed eh,jeez I often hold the shutter down on these cameras of mine for a couple or three seconds & have over 40 images,these new mirrorless camera's could fill the equivalent of a roll of film faster than you could blink! Still I love the look of the older film images,they just have character
  10. I think the day's of them big old dslr's & super heavy lenses are about over bud. I must have watched at least a thousand videos online regarding mirrorless camera's albeit not the Fujifilm so I will have to check them out thanks to you but I've not read or heard of one single person who regrets switching to mirrorless from dslr & obviously you doing what you do saying the same just say's it all to me. I'd take your word in a heartbeat over a million reviews online. I'm gonna check stuff out & jump onboard with everyone else,it just makes sense, especially the way I am now regardin
  11. Good to hear that matey, I know you put them through their paces & only the decent one's earn their pan of scran at the days end,I know you've had a bit of fun with a few mongrels carrying that old blood matey in fact the pups out of Jacob's even have distance related blood to those two you've posted pics of as Troys grandmother Breeze was out of a bitch out of Dons grandfather Bulpa & a Minshaw bitch I had called Jess ..hope your keeping well buddy.
  12. Sun's shining here today... finally!! Just finished my own dog's,that's them walked & fed,got two of my lads dog's to sort next which will no doubt take me a while yet but then I'm off out for the day..hope today is a good one for you all whatever it is your on with,enjoy the sunshine if you have it too ..watch how ya's all go. Couple of pics of old Don,he is the last dog of mine to carry the blood of the Minshaw dog's I first owned back in the mid 1980's so touching on 40 year's ago now,great dog's,great memories,I owe them all so much & thank them all for the work they done fo
  13. At 5 month's old & again at 11 year's old,when out & about he has always been one for just taking a seat & surveying the area around him,scanning for the slightest movement,his daughter Rose is exactly the same,even when thing's are 'busy' they will still find the time to sit,weigh up the situation before making their next move..I often call them 'thick,backward & plenty more expletives' but i guess they are far more intelligent than I & know more about the game than i do.
  14. Boots as a pup,here he is at 4 month's & 12 day's old on the first pic then again another 12 day's older on the second pic.. looking back he was never a problem rearing on,he self entered to all & everything,very easy dog to have around.
  15. Well,we've had several soakings this day, hopefully tomorrow will be a little better in regards to the weather. Here's the full squadron this evening on our wanders..excuse the coats on my lot they are all currently moulting & look as rough as badgers arses,they will be looking better in a week or two all being well. 'Boots,Bear,Don & Rose's here with my Cocker Spaniel Suzie,my Mrs pup Kali & last but not least her Patterdale Terrier Asher on the following post..
  16. Another wet,miserable day here in these parts,had two drenchings this morning with the dogs,hope things are better wherever you guy's are..this is without a doubt the poorest spring & now summer that I've ever lived through,today the temperature here is 10c,which for mid June is equivalent to a mid winter's day. Global warming my fecking a**e!!! Anyways here's one from waaaaaay back..
  17. Absolutely superb matey,awesome that is!
  18. I recently dug out my first ever dslr camera,it dates back from 2005,you can pick these up on eBay nowadays for about £50 max with a lens or two included. I'm surprised the battery held some charge but to be honest I've used the camera for a number of days now & it's still going strong on that initial charge. These are a few I've taken with it the past few day's,nowadays everyone is onto the mirrorless camera's & before those dslrs with a CMOS sensor,this old Olympus has a Kodak CCD sensor in it which comes from the earlier film camera's. Personally I like the colours etc that come str
