Mole 265, if you don't mind I'd like to answer this in a way that makes perfect sense. Since you are hunting fox, if it is a big earth then there should be a few other holes from which it can bolt. If you have the holes covered with lurchers or guns then 1 terrier is enough to bolt this fox right outta there. If the fox is giving the dog a run around in a big sett, it is most likely a deep earth, maybe even on a bank, or in sandy soil so it isn't an earth an experienced hunter would be dropping a terrier into. Now say your terrier is wearing a locator, is in a big earth, most like

Not just one phone.........It takes all info off everyone standing around you

It can get everything.....even turn your phone camera on, sending video and your phone still looks as though it is off. It can even turn your phone on so they can hear.....everything!

I have to tell the lads in N.I. about the grey spy plane. Lads, that plane is equipped with military grade technology we haven't even heard of yet. It pin points dug earth using remote sensing technology and compiles a log of all dug holes and gives the information to those in charge. When the yellow and black helicopter flies over you and notes what you are doing it no longer hovers but instead calls the grey spy plane. It flies over you and sends a signal to your phone. Even though your phone does not look as though it responds it sends a signal back the host. With this signal

Foxdigger, thanks for understanding. Some people take it the wrong way and would rather the information isn't shared. The word used is called "METADATA" meaning information about information. Don't think of a photo as being a flat picture, think of a photo as being.....like..........a box of information. You see the photo, but within the box comes a lot of other information depending on what took the photo, if it was connected to GPS or the internet at the time and sending back information to a server, the list is endless. The phone has its own unique ID connected to your deta

There are a hundred and one reasons why hunters and even the general public should know exactly what intelligence is behind each photo. I could have said nothing at all and just let the world go by.

If I could keep one lad from rubbing shoulders with the Fuzz I would rather let them know how geo-locating is done than be silent.

Better knowing how than not knowing at all.

Lads in the photo I am sorry to do it to ya.......but I have to show everyone how easy it is. It even tells you if the flash was used!

I studied Advanced Global Information Systems at Uni.......we learnt all this stuff.
-
One other thing................if the grey spy plane flies over ya in N.I. it pings your mobile. Your mobile then responds sending back a signal with ALL your details. I never bring my phone out hunting or stalking even ferreting!
-
I heard the PSNI are using it to data log the co-ordinates of spots lads dig. So instead of flying needlessly round the countryside they plot 20 holes ......say round the Antrim area......fly to every hole round lunchtime on a Saturday and lucky enough......1 in 20 chance of coming across lads digging isn't a bad hit rate.

Photos taken with phones or ipads have a geo-tag encoded within the photo that actually fingerprints the exact location the photo was taken. So if you ever wonder how ya got a knock on the door they just copy the URL from your photo, typeinto google Jeffrey's Exif viewer, copy and paste, then a map with the exact location of the photo is shown on google map. Its that easy.

Penny Taylor (Skycat) has a fantastic looking Airedale lurcher and the man I acquired 2 of my Airedales from had Airedale lurchers there to show me. They were fell red in colour but too young to be tried on a fox so I will have to continue this post in a years time and write if he was successful. On a different note, I happened to come across a paragraph in D.B. Plummer's book "Rogues and Running Dogs" written about Airedale lurchers. He has only good stuff to say about them, but you know yourself, its all about the line, how they were entered and the dog being entered itself. An experie

As for the RSPCA taking dogs..........did they have an accompanying police officer and issue a seizure warrant? So before any court appearance or arrest property was seized, without caution or a chance to provide evidence....i.e. photo taken in Ireland where coursing is legal, or even if the photo was taken before the ban was imposed. Who gave the RSPCA martial law!?

Graphic images do not need to be posted, but the likes of a ferreting day or good fox dig (with discression) shouldn't be an issue. I definitely wouldn't stare the pot, say culling a deer calf for a specific reason and then really putting a photo of bambi up taken with a .308 would offend many people who don't understand that it may have been necessary. What I mean is...........hunters feeling made to lurk in the shadows is not right,...................we have an important role in countryside management and vital for the survival of agriculture. If it weren't for pest or vermin contro

Although there is also a danger here. Hunters are being made to feel that in UK/Ireland, legal hunting of foxes, rabbits etc cannot be photographed and put up onto facebook, as we are frowned upon or are images being used by Anti's in a slandering campaign. Hunting in Finland, Denmark, Sweden is publicly very popular, generates income for many businesses and is essential for long-term conservation and predator control. It should be no different here, for if it weren't for hunters controlling foxes we would numbers of ground nesting birds and mammals at detrimental low level! By be

I will get a bit technical here..... The spray used is called Toppel, it works by Acetyl-Choline Esterase Inhibition (ACh). This means that when a signal is sent over your nerve synapse (i.e. to blink), ACh is used to wipe the signal out so a new one can be sent. The sprays used in tips/landfill causes the ACh to be blocked so you keep getting the signal "blink blink blink blink blink" like a nervous disorder or twitch. The thing is this may take years to show in people because the spray accumulates in the fat of your body and we have have no way of breaking it down. Lipophillic chemic

Wheatens.........but the Airedale I find works better with other dogs. Although I have experience of working a Redline male and although it may be this particular dog alone and not the Redline as a sub-breed of Airedale, but he was a ticking time bomb around other male dogs.
-
I have been working large terriers for over 20 years but Airedales only 2 years now. I plan to make working pups available for working homes but trying to find the rough coated male I need is nearly an impossible task. I was recently quoted £500 for stud fees from a breeder that I wouldn't even deem the male to closley suitable........I kindly rejected the offer.

If you have permission to hunt landfill check to see if they have a spraying program. They will usually spray 280 litres of insecticide to keep down the flies, but this is just a front. They add so much in order to kill off everything including rats as the spray affects the central nervous system of any animal.....even humans. Landfills have their own hidden dangers so although we would think that the main threat is from bacteria, you may in fact be walking on to a site with massive levels of insecticide. I work as an Environmental Technician at a landfill site......there are virtually no

Hunt went way better than I could have wanted! Dog Fox appeared completely out of the blue! I had view of the whole thing and when I watched the fox run straight towards my eldest bitch......I thought......oh ho, let battle commence!

Brilliant start to the morning with the Airedales getting lucky enough to catch this dog fox in the heather.........great watching them track and finally finishing the job with pure grit and fire!

Dead netted rabbits..perfectly legal
