    i have tryed sweeping( with a broom!!!! ) and laying out cam nets with the decoys on. floaters and rotary are also ignored. we had some on the flight lines too, all in all we can't complain at the bag but it could be more i think. i have a few full body deeks to put up the trees and will try that next yis

    good to hear the dogs finished off the job the shotgun didn't. was this his first time to ground? was the vixen alone? ( unusual at this time of year). good stuff

    when looking to get a dog( after the return to the uk) i was unsure on what to get springer,lab,hpr or terrier. i decided to get a terrier( prt now 7 1/2 months old). we hit it off pretty quick and he is willing to learn. recall is top,bushing like an old one,finding dead/wounded game,holding in the nets,marking,and easy on the stand when shooting pigeon/driven pheasant. to top it all he is starting to go to ground( luckily he has not found the fox home yet). he seems to be very mature for his age( he knows what green jeans and wellies mean and his excitment makes it nearly impossible to no

    i have always found sau feder to be a little cumbersom,but when they start kicking you are glad of six feet of wood between you i believe frankonia are doing a 3 piece one for about 200 euro?? waidmannsheil und horrido!!!! p.s. instead of a saufeder i used a bowie knife( and 9mm para where the dogs were not too tight!!!)

    a good looking dog,how old is he and whats he been doing? at a guess bullxrussel? strong head

    i nearly bought one when i got my russel,he was going for 150 at 14 months("going to ground but had not yet found") a good looking dog who certainly looked the part. never worked one though.

    i think you may have answeared your own question mate. when everything seems easy and is done well,and you just know . mine is also 7 months and doing well. i'm pretty sure the bond you have with the dog can make all the differance,if you suit and compliment each other then things do seem easy. the most important thing is to be enjoying the work(both of you). it sounds to me like you two are. good on you.

    nice one.is the bottom pallet on the ground? stuff some straw into the bottom four or five pallets and throw in some wheat every now and again,hey presto charlie will be coming around every night for the mice. i would plant some ivy or quick growing bushes so it can blend into the surroundings better( no advantage while hunting but it looks better.

    anyone else having trouble getting the pigeon on to the decoys? i don't normally have any bother at all but over the last few days they do not seem to be taking any notice of my pattern at all. there are literally thousands about,some big flocks but lots of smaller ones too( big flock being to me around 500-1000 birds.small between 10 and 100).it seems to me they see other birds moving/feeding and flt straight over the pattern( normally i use around 25 flocked shells and two floaters). having noticed this we decided to combine our patterns,now a rotary,40 decoys,three floaters with cam ne

    i think it depends on the earth( ground type,well run etc) and whats gone on.if a fox has put up alot of resistance there will be more scent(fox man and dog). the density of available earths,pipes,straw stacks(secure slips for the fox) will certainly play a role. i have always tried to leave them for at least one week between,although i have worked mostly man made earths( 1000 hectar and 15 sets) and only the smaller badger sets(5-10 tubes). atb

    thats what they are good at.( tracking and nicking the comfy spots) if that is the goal then i would work very hard on obiedience(hand signals) and stay( at the rucksack,to start with tie him to it go of for a couple of min. lots of praise. extend this untill you can leave him as long as it takes for the final stalk and he is quiet). get yourself a ten meter long lead and broad collar,preferably with a metal core( schweiss halsung),i would spend more time training on blood trailing( not dragging a carcass,this is an insult to the dogs nose. he does not even need blood,just the damage caus

    it may sound a bit daft but the deer cannot take on food( digestive system slows down,they can eat but not store or use very much food)therefore we should see it as our responsibility to only stress/disturb them when we must. not wanting to be pedantic but the deer should be controlled and not harrassed/starved to death. i'm not sure which species you have there or in what concentration,disturbance will be unavoidable when controlling pest/vermin but should be kept to a min. not being funny just trying to get my point accross bud, however you do it have fun and i would be interested

    the bigger problem would be putting deer up out of their daytime lie ups,they will get used to lamping and shots( i spent some time in sennelager,a big range.deer and pigs would wait untill dinner time and come out to graze ). leave the deer alone unless you want to shoot them( put the salt/mineral stones in the daytime holds.high enough that they cant lick directly but water running down the stump/post will carry salt into the wood). when going about the vermin controll you will find out where the deer are moving to and from,try to shoot them on thier way.i don't agree with shooting at

    you will need reasonable grounds for a shotgun(clay pigeon shooting,vermin controll etc). at the moment you stand a good chance of getting permission for pigeons( they are battering the rape).get out knocking farmers doors where you see them good luck

    i wouldn't trust any wound up dog together in a crate unless they live together 24/7. i don't think this is breed specific.

    are you looking to promote flushing to the gun? following of live trails or following up after the shot? if flushing to the gun it would be better if the dog hunts loud(giving toungue) this he will pick up when allowed to range around you while walking/beating with other dogs. if you want the dog to follow live trails then follow them with him on a long lead, he will soon pick up the jist of what you want. blood tailing starts off more or less the same,takes alot of dedication and practice is the key.your knowledge is just as important as the dogs nose. if i can help in anyway feel

    you will find that a young man will fit the gun(not sure how old you are or how bad the fit). your finger should be on the trigger when the butt is in your elbow if that makes sense?? i have found that most guns are ok for me( average build around six feet tall)and in fact on feather that a shorter stock is better. have you tried the gun on clay? i would give it a go first if not. gun fitting can be expensive and as said above you may be better off part ex for a better fitting gun. cheers

    i was taught " as little as poss and as much as is necessary" and have never gone far wrong with that( i ahve had follow ups on pigs, roe,fallow,red and sika only the sika and two pigs were shot by me ). remember the heart sits deep in a winter pig( feathers on the back making it appear lower). they will run on with killing shots(especially at this time of year)and sometimes bleed sporadicly due to fat sealing the wound. good luck.

    collie are bred to round up etc and spaniel do tend to be highly strung but if trained both are obiedient and usefull/intelligent dogs. i think the little fella will become an asset to you(looks wont let him down either ). keep at it bud. atb

    try to zero again it may just be knocked off( tighten screws and do it in a SAFE place as you cannot be sure).bore sighting may be a good start. if its not damaged( prism,glas,body)try it.if it is get it away to be checked over/repair. good luck.

    i would not even consider a .222 for pigs no matter how big. all of my pigs have been shot with 8mm mauser when dogged and 30 06 spr (185gr win silvertip) from high seats/hides. the best time of year to hunt them now(in germany breeding season). the boar will run around in woods during the day looking for sows( the boar stink to the core though!!!!)and are nowhere near as shy as later in the year. take the advice above and take a good dog if not killed,they can get arsey
