    waidmann is an old/traditional name for a sporting/ethical huntsman in german,i spent a long time there and thought it original. some good stories though. atb

    good to see this sort of thing going on. we used to have a litter picking day every year with as many shooters as poss taking part( local paper always reported on this ) would plant around 100 small pine/mixed deciduos trees every year( as i was in more shoots active i would keep and plant as much in my garden as poss) every hegde and wood edge soon had willow,earl,ash etc growing( we would take firewood out and replant with the farmers permission of course) the same with hedgerows which were shading crops( coppiced). any fallow layed fields we would plant with rape/game mixes( once the f

    you may get a better pattern with smaller shot/lighter loads.when bolting rabbit to gun in woods i use smaller shot(skeet),limited danger zone,max spread at short range. i would suggest the smaller pellets a causing a better "shock reaction" and therefore killing them outright. we were taught that its about the reaction(shock) and not the penetration/organ damage caused. a mate swears that when bolting fox the best first shot at short range is a skeet cartridge( 1mm). i have to say at 10-20 yards they just roll( possibly due to quicker spread and larger area of impact).it works well.

    heard of this happening with boar at night in germany they call it " bauern doublette" farmers/agricultural double. its ok when it kills both but when one pig is shot clean and the other is not then it gets messy. i have also heard of splinters from the first deer wounding a second( followed up and killed by the dog handler).this was only noticed by a guide who saw the other deer moving strangly after the shot.inspection of this trail showed blood spots( dabbed with tissue) marked by the dog. how often does this kind of thing happen without anybody noticing i wonder. never happend to

    i know of a guy who ran the mother in the daughters place on a trial( the young bitch was crap in the water).the judge noticed a change in style and asked to see the tattoo number in her ear,sussed. but how often does this type of thing happen without being found out? sibling dogs being ran on different trials? any system is prone to being abused and the audacity of some people is beyond belief. all in all i'm for the registering of dogs achievments with an organisation. we need some measure. we can't all know a breeder of working dogs.

    the hare is a sporting shot imo,i love to see a dog run/work and would prefer to course them.but its not allowed by law( neither in england or where i have done the most shooting in germany) and so we have always shot them on driven pheasant/walked up/rough shooting days. they need thinning out to maintain a healthy populus and make good sport. rabbit and the odd fox,partridge,snipe,duck,woodcock,pigeon etc liven the bag up,making for good sport for the 40 odd standing guns and around 20 walking in the beating line( common practice in germany,they shoot game going to the sides and back throug

    you can lend a shotgun and if a cert holder keep it in your cabinet.not firearms. if you mean to shoot with you need the permission of "the occupier" if you do not have a sgc. cartridges must not be locked away( good practice to secure them though imo) nor do you need a sgc to have them in your possesion. again firearms ammo you do need a fac. hope this helps. atb

    around £200-£300 pounds for a set up .22lr depending on make and optics( can of course be much more). as for divorce: if you have a new rifle and good land,why would you want your wife anyway take a look at the previous posts on this subject,must be 3 or 4 threads in the last couple of weeks. atb

    i have only made sure that the dogs are not fed before work,the day before as normal and a couple of hours in front of the fire before food is given. abit of oil on it and maybe an egg yolk( the white are also poisonous a vet once told me,since then i have seperated them).on the point of chocolate:i very seldom give a dog chocolate as its supposed to be bad for them,if it works for some then ok. plenty of water while working and they have always been fine. i only feed adult dogs once a day anyway so no real difference for them i guess. atb

    took the pup to see my brothers chickens today and took the opportunity to take a few photos. the pup is coming on well. basic manners are up to scratch,sozialization going well,recall is smashing( just called him off a cat ) retrieve is starting off very well ( a duck wing game we play and he loves it,mostly he gives it up well.sometimes he would rather keep it and i have to tell him to "give") water is good fun up to the belly but when inadvertantly he goes deeper and has to swim he can . the duck wing game will be taken further here this week. here a link for the pics http://s934.p

    i had a dog which was epileptic, starts with over excitment then keeled over. took a couple of minutes(normally he would wet himself in this time) then he would shake and scramble up to his feet with a look that said" what in the name of f@@@ was that"!! it sounds silly but he would be very pale( around the eyes,lips and ears).after a fit he would sleep for a couple of hours and all was well. does that sound anything like yours?? if not it could be a slipped disc/trapped nerve? good luck in finding the cause.

    have you tried lamping it bud? bit of wind and a red filter makes them easier to see in the grass. good luck.

    like the dogs bud. looks like your son wanted to eat the bunny raw good to see he is getting into it,and obviously enjoying himself. good crack.

    your best bet is hemp of good quality.i make them out of poly linen( not as good as hemp to work with but won't rot after getting wet so a compromise well worth going for) happy ferreting.

    i've not looked it up but i would question the legality of causing any un due stress to a protected mammal? undue would be anything longer than taking it to someone elses shoot to release i would be carefull with breeding/keeping/swapping or god forbid dealing with polecats. most farmers who do not have poultry will be glad to house one in a barn with nearby pond/wet woods etc, even this is questionable. the only thing is to ask the home office what to do with caught mustelids(sleeping dogs and all that!!) great looking creatures,very interesting in behaviorally and seldom seen in engl

    you can get semi auto in most caliber,often used( and frowned upon in germany as" full harvester") on driven boar and deer. the plinking factor of semi auto rifles may well appeal to some,and good on them.i want a rifle that shoots and is safe in every day use ( admitted this is a case of getting used to the weapon.never relying on the safety catch anyway etc). i have had lots of experiance with semi/automatic weapons but find the bolt action preferable. fishslayer,i have used the hk mp5 and found it fun( pulled up a bit,but most do on full auto ) i doubt the 9mm para would be much u

    i opted for ba as the safety issue( one up the spout all the time) is a bit of a problem with me. i think the firing pin safety is more secure( as opposed to trigger safety on most/some sa). spray and pray is something i do not like also,but this is a problem with the shooter and not the rifle imo. bolt repeating can be fast and without taking it out of alighnment. i prefer a ba and always have( mauser 98 system has never failed me). personal preferance i guess.

    great pics, obviously a character if you want to start her tracking/bloodtrailing then start her now,a bit of dabbed blood and drag the fox brush a couple of feet( where she cant see it). the trail gets longer adding turns( wound beds) and bobs yours. don't want to tell you how to suck eggs but don't use pig blood( too smelly) use blood from game if not available then from cattle. deer feet on a stick( to add scent and break the ground) are a good tool too. the best of luck with the pup.

    same here, my terrier pup( 14 weeks or so) is around 90% clean in the house,he has accidents but they are mostly my fault( not being vigilent enough while busy). he has not had a rollocking yet.a no if he wants to chew something i'd prefer left in one piece and down if he begs( doesn't bother now as he never gets anything ) i don't like to put too much pressure on the pup at a tender age,call me a softie if you will but i know it works in the end. positive impressioning. good luck with the pup.

    i have to say that all of my dogs have been brought up in the house,kids,mrs,other dogs and none have been any the worse for it( maybe a bit of a shiver in winter,this stops as soon as the work starts). keep on top of fleas,ticks etc and no problem( wash the dog after predator contact,rats) its good for the kids,good for the dog and good for the soul,you will bond and understand each other( man/dog,wife/dog,wife/man etc ) if you can make sure that its you who does the training and you who is the alpha you should have no problems. most hunting dogs are bred to have good nerves,this can o

    i like the terrier poacher,real good looking. good to see other peoples pups too. have you got the norfolk terrier working too mate?( willum) the lakeyxpat looks like a well boned pup strong head compared to my prt( 14 weeks or so)

    bloody hell he is a big lad! i'm sure you can find a job for him ratting a barn or squirrel in the loft. and if he is a good pet then thats sound too. atb
