  1. when i used to do it i had no worrys at all running mine paired up on foxs, no matter what any one says you will get a higher catch rate, and yes before you all start it was more to do with pest control for me, dont get me wrong i enjoyed the sport side, but having a choice of 9 out of 10 paired up compared to 5 out of 10 single handed, id go for the former every time... at the end of the day i got ground to control a pest, if i didnt they would just get the rifle men in... jmo...
  2. bits from your roast chicken, bones , fat etc
  3. as soon as he hits the gutter and starts to pull off, re call him, sit him up for 30 seconds and cast him off again..
  4. lol, you got plenty of time on your hands then
  5. when they stop catching or when ever my birds come home, which ever comes first..
  6. good choice... ducks will eat either, i have up till this year fed them barley but for some reason im giving them wheat , but with ducks i wouldnt worry either way
  7. just a couple of snaps of the new member of my kennels... she has settled in well, had a good few weeks socialising but is starting to trash the house so kennel time is near..bred by dogs and natives thats comes on here, the father of the pups was bred by the lad i now do the hunt work with, chuffed as there is only scrump and a dog called brock left from his line.. fingers crossed she turns out well
  8. scrap your barley off, waz is right.. yes they will eat it but for me it would be wheat every time..
  9. yea" but you lost 600 to disease hexameter wasnt it ouch , but rag i heard you took it there on ya boots
  10. taking my boss out on monday to shoot a brace or two over the pointers...had a count last week, good numbers, just short of last years count figures and only covered half the hill maybe the heather burning is paying off
  11. WHY ONLY TWO TRAPS PER MILE MATE ????? HAVE YOU NO ROADS AND BRIDGES WHERE YER AT ? ............. THE NORTH AMERICANS COULD TEACH A LOT OF LADS HERE A LOT ABOUT RUNNING A LINE ......... " IF " .......... FELLAS WERENT AS SNAREMAN SAYS , STUCK WITH A DONKEY MENTALITY ALL THE BEST donkey mentality... i like it the areas that these mink type projects cover is normally massive... you any idea how big the cairngorms national park is ?? i wouldnt even guess at how many miles of water course there is.... say we both had 10 cages each , you set all your in a mile of bank, a
  12. why would they leave it a year?? too dry out shrivel up and end up being too small for a feed spiral.... imo the fresher the better
  13. id like to quote the " no news is good news" but i cant will give them a ring today
  14. at least it didnt end up on a polish dinner plate
  15. spot on advise......... would disagree with one small point, if she does not return, get after her, scruff her and take her back to where YOU were when you called her in...
  16. game will be fixed choke at quarter and half, a sporter will be multi choke
  17. thanks, just covered my screen with tea
  18. il tell you that even with a quad checking 35 cages takes a fecking long time, with no more than 2 cages per mile of water course.. there doing a similar thing here in the cairngorms, they send them all away for dna testing and look at the bitch minks inards to see how many young it has had in the past, one gobsmacking fact (as shooting times readers will know) is that two mink were caught, one on the spey and one on the iythan(sp), litter sisters, 96 km apart
  19. tryed that first off, every symbol on the screen flashs on both send and search, wether the collar is on or not... box has done just over two seasons so still reasonably new..
  20. i went to switch the box on to see what battery life was left as the first hunt days are just around the corner(was expecting it to be high), when i move the slider to either setting the screen and the orange / yellow light flashs, and i cant get any readings of battery life or collar position just a constant flashing.. is this needing to go back or is it the batterys?? some will be thinking why dont you just go get some batterys to try and rule that out, but the nearest shop that stocks them is miles away, and yes i know i should always carry a spare set, cheers in advance
  21. not really, put the same thread in the shooting section and the rolls would be reversed
  22. sure woodga put up a thread about his catchs with none wethered snares not that long back
  23. will be interesting to see the different hights of all the dogs entered, good to see sum bigger dogs in there.. sould be some good crack over the next few months
  24. couldnt of put it better than that..
