Well me and a mate whent out this morning to try get acouple for the pot and to give his dogs a good run out we decided take acouple of nets and a feet each and took his little busher out as well. We were going for a bit of all round action bit ferreting bit of bolting to dogs and bit bushing. Day whent realy well with couple of nice easy digs nothing to deep and ground nice and soft. Ended the day on 8 and lost a few bushing but there there for next time. Was great walk round and great bit of ground plenty there for next time,also a couple pheasant there for the catty and every saw a long
Be firm with them pal from word go :-)how did you find training them? I'm looking forward to see what this little bitch can do, bushing for my lurchers
You'll probley find the pup following your other dogs untill she finds her nose but she'll soon get it best of luck! gona get decent springer line her next year keep a pup , there going mad for sprockers :-)
He wants to supply the demand lol
Nice going mate. Terriers look well. Love shooting over dogs,my mate had a lurcher that after a month of working with the gun was doing realy well there was time shed nock stuff out to far a head but she was around 3 1/2 when introduced to gun so wasn't fully trained to it.
There's wanting to go to ground and then there's staying to ground.....seen plenty terriers fly to ground like a scud missile only to turn tail when the bump into something in the dark
Do you think a small gwp put to a leggy pat will produce more of a busher for someone who works them to a lurcher rather than a gun.? A half cross or something maybe with abit of other stuff in the mix also? I think this cross would have a good size,coat,build,and also have the stamina and drive to work larger quarry abroad..
I'm liking the idea of a pointer cross more and more.defo something I'm going look in to in the future.
I in this mite sound like a stupid Q but what is sh like with hard thick cover ? Will she push in on her own ow will she point from outside ?
..truth be told how many people on this site lost there virginity at the legal age? I bet half didn't ..truth is girls and boys are becoming sexually active a a lot younger age which is going t lead to a lot of young lads on a sex offenders list.....but there is a lot of people on there who do des ever been on there and also deserve the Gentiles removed
Please expand,
Thanks, ian
think the braided becomes a problem on hawks when there crashing in to brambles and thorns. Think a while ago I read a post ( not sure if on here or iff ) that when there Harris crashed in to brambles and thorns after a rabbit the braided nylon jesses got tangled on thorns which left the bird unable to move.
This.
I make a 'nick' in the fur and get my fingers in. Then I only need a knife for removing it's head.
Then same nick again; tear open belly; and gut. Simples. Practically no knife used.
That's ok until you need to do 50 plus rabbits then you will need a good knife ... Oh and you don't need a knife to take the head off ..........
I. Lucky get 50 in a full season..... Lol
Any recent pics of your dog mate.? What are you planning on putting to her if/when you do. I like the look of the pointers a lad I new had a pointer cross what he worked under a hawk and also the gun. The dog would point when working with the hawk untill told to get on but when rough shooting and working hedge and brambles the dog would just bush. Was a good strong dog with plenty of nose and plenty of drive unfortunately the dog was a Jaffa
