    if you have a 1/2 liter bottle then spread it liberally over very short distances to beging with,later you will use the 1/2 liter over 500 meters. if you can get deer or wild pigs feet then wound the ground with those too(a good dog will not need blood later,the stress hormones and ground disturbance will be enough to hold the trail). to start off use quite alot,then spread the same ammount over longer distances. don't forget the reward at the end of the trail,he must want to get there waidmann

    i think the answear was given in your original post bud. the problem is "recall" and this cannot be trained in "a domestic situation",it should be started at home(with little or no distractions) and then gradually moved out to fields etc and increasing distractions for the dog(scent of game,other dogs in the park etc etc). all of this should be done with a positive manner(praise and treats when she does it right,not a stick when she fails).when the dog comes belting down the garden path at a call from you,put her back on the lead and take her to a field with rabbits,try the recall on the lea

    i think the dogs we keep will generally be at a higher risk of coming into contact with"contaminents" whether bacterial,parisitar(ecto/endo) or pesticidal/herbicidal All of which play a role when in contact with humans(i myself had a dog poisoned with fungicide/growth stopper,it nearly killed my lab x,my terrier bitch had blisters all over her belly and i a blister on my lips from chewing a peice of grass!! if a kid had gotten in contact with it? a supposedly harmless substance by the way!) hopefully we take all possible precautions without wrapping them in cotton wool too much,all of my d

    i would start on one mesh(this is to be the corner of the net) adding one mesh per row untill you have the desired width/depth. then carry on(without adding for the length.reduce back to one. waidmann

    i would try to knock up another kennel if the dogs are worth keeping bud(rather than getting rid of a good dog). good luck waidmann

    i would have a look at the simmons 3.5-10 x50mm at 3.5 good for closer stuff(rats,ferrals etc) and at 10x there is lots of bunny in the scope at 30 yards i would b interested how you decide bud. atb waidmann

    there are various reasons for taking a fox live from an earth bud but not in england. some are taken wild in germany for breeding in pens(dog training). when this was the job in hand we took the correct kit,the foxes i have taken/handled have mostly been from man made earths/field drains where the dog had hold of the tail and i have waited for the fox to move past taken him out and dispatched with a knife(allowed in germany) to avoid the fox turning to the dog/prolonging the scrap or getting into stop ends(dead pipes in the fields),shooting the fox with the dog "in" is for obvious reasons ou

    any decent terrierman should be well able to handle a live fox out of a dig,if you need tongs or a noose maybe ye should be at something else for a pastime.atb. i have no problems with controlling a fox bud,but "crawling headfirst down a hole flicking dirt in his eyes and grabbing him by the scruff" ? that sound like good terrier work to you? if so then maybe i am in the wrong sport as i'm not doing it properly for as start there would be a dog in the way,secondly the fox would be dug to and dispactched in the earth(safe shot) or bolted to gun/net and then shot as soon as the dog

    i would not keep two self confident bitches in one kennel bud,if they are starting to fight then split them up. are they all bitches? waidmann

    if you read the pinned stuff about terrier work it states that the "terrier may work to ground to flush the fox,with the intention of SHOOTING it as soon as possible. this would i think put a bolt gun out of the question?? romany: i have taken fox out of earths by the scruff(from above when the fox was half in a pipe,pulling back and getting hold) IT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE PREFERED METHOD.i'm sure most terrier men would agree its not a good idea to "flick some dirt in the eyes,and get them by the scruff",there are tools for the job(noose bars,tongs?????) i'm sure you did it "in your younger

    the law states that foxes can be worked to ground by a single dog........................... to be dispatched as soon as poss with a firearm/shotgun(or words to that effect). i'm not sure that a bolt gun would be classed as a firearm/shotgun? other than that it will be very awkward dispatching a fox four feet down and a foot from the break through i would think. the .410 would be the best option mate. waidmann

    salisbury plain project proved the management of predators increased biodiversity staggeringly. most of the protected areas are plauged with vermin and predators(telford town park for example!!) and the "protectors" too stubborn/stupid to allow a management whether in their interests or not. blinkered beurocracy and idealism. "the nature looks after itself" is a load of rubbish as WE(society) have long upset its balance by feeding crows,gulls,foxes,badgers ................... on our rubbish tips and in our cities. "manage to conserve" waidmann

    nice set up there those foxes can be real stubborn buggers once they get used to the set up and the dogs can't they the dogs have to push the gates around(i've seen foxes push a weak dog back!!). thanks for sharing the pics bud. waidmann

    he will get used to the cage bud(a nice blanket in there and leave it open during the day so he can go in if he wants to,avoid other comfy places like the sofa and he will opt for his "bed" ). never stick him in there as a punishment(accidents in the house or getting on your wick etc etc)its his safe place to get out of the way food is a big dilemma on this site,so you may have opened a can of worms on that,i feed minced chicken,bones,veg,and dry food but its personal preferance really(dry food being the easiest option). i'll leave it at that and let you read the numerous topics on "b

    my brother has the same scope on his .17 hmr. i find it narrow viewed(even on lower mag) which can make target aquisition difficult.the illuminated recticle is a little bright(over glare) only relevant for night shooting without the lamp. other than that no problems at all,keeps zero,crisp ajustment,very nice,fine crosshairs i think we got it for 45-50 quid used but in very good nick with mounts waidmann. i have a simmons whitetail 3.5-10 x50mm on my .22 which costs around the same i think??? depending on how and what you shoot. waidmann
