I had a beardie/border lurcher quite some years back from hancock. He was a first cross male and was quite tall with it. Compared to my straight border cross he would range much further working more independently, he was one of the best hunting up dogs I've owned. Scared me how committed he was when chasing something, I often closed my eyes, but I can never once remember him ending up at the vets. He's even been tangled up in barb wire and caught on it before but with hardly any serious damage to his skin. I only ever hunted rabbits and hares, I've never been bothered about foxes, but my

Not having a catapult since a kid i got a fork hit on around my 10th shot with the scout which hit the screw that tightens the flip clip....as a result it's split the front inner shaft of the clip which goes through the catapult....I was using marbles at the time.........bit annoyed at myself and the fact the clip broke so easily. Anyway I'm going to contact bushcraft to see if they supply them, but if anybody else knows anywhere in the uk that sells them that would be great. Saying that I might just use an alternative method.....shame though. Cheers

what i am saying is with all the will in the world they are physically stuggle. with the low cover. the bigger dogs move easily over the top where the little chaps try to move through or kangaroo about. either way soon burns em out and they start lagging behind. i am a big fan of the smaller terriers but not in a lot of the top work we do. I respect your opinion, but Jesus, that little dog of mine just walks through the lowest of cover and exerts VERY little energy in doing so....no matter how dense or tight it is......bit like the tortoise n hare story....she really does go steady and get th

There's no two ways about it small bushers are physically the ideal size for bushing....they fit straight through the rabbit runs, no need to crawl or crash their way through.....nothing can touch a small terrier for been suited to working tight cover. However I also worked a border collie bitch many years ago who took it upon herself to bush rather than work as a lurcher as such. She obviously didn't fit work the tight runs as easily as a small busher, but she did manage to get the rabbits out and looking back was a cracking busher. There's lots of sizes of bushing dogs that will get

Gnipper.......I've bought Dankung 1845, do I just use the same tube type....Its a great idea. Roosika...... Sorry,but whats wrap and tuck? Is that when for example when they attatch theragold band strips around the bands on the forks then tuck it under? Thanks
-
Are there any simple fool proof ways to attach tubes to the pouch...... Never done it before and need to practice,,,, do I use the constrictor knot which I have seen on youtube... All advice appreciated.

Not seen loads of other people's terriers bush, always seem to be on my own, but my best over the the years is my little old fashioned jack russell that is now eleven and still working fine. Not that she's taken loads of game, but what she has taken she's always tried to retrieve it back and given her size its a laugh to watch. She's taken duck, pigeon, pheasant and a few other birds plus rabbits. My lurchers were once just stood looking up at a pheasant on a branch, little jack climbed a wall, aimed pointed jumped and grabbed it off the branch mid air.....amazing given her size, she's consta

Just a 1.52 min video on youtube that made me laugh.

Just be careful with those 18650 batteries......make sure you get quality ones and a good charger. If there cheap and not used with respect its just like holding a potential pipe bomb. Read up on the batteries...safe if used correctly. There's plenty of quality led lights out there....armytek make some decent tackle. Also another thing that needs to be taken into account with a lot of led lights is how good are they at handling the heat given off when running full wack. A lot have automatic step down to a lower lumens setting when they start getting too hot. Some are designed a lot bet

Thanks, never heard of tru oil before.

I've seen some lovely handmade catapults on here..... Way beyond anything I'd expect to achieve, but never the less I'm having ago at a natural and I'm surprisingly enjoy myself. So I'm wondering what's your preferred method of finishing......oil.......varnish etc. I've just bought some rust-oleum polyurethane finish to try,,, I did intend getting the plasticote version, but it was sold out at b n q....so this looked like it would do the job. I did also see while I was looking ' clear gloss spray ' and didn't really know what the difference was. I've made a little natural for my da

Unwrapped my slingshot from bushcraft uk today.....not sure on the specifics differences of version 1-2, but I was surprised to see that it does come packed with those.....flip clips or whatever they're called that clip the bands into place..... Just need to get some ammo now.

Father Christmas getting me one from bushcraft uk....( http://www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk/the-scout-slingshot---top-quality-made-in-the-usa-14857-p.asp) £34.95...... Not sure which generation it is......probably 1st...Took just a couple of days to arrive.

Ouch!

Pop into your local grooming shop for advise. Used to use a dematter for sawing through thick mats and slicker brushes for getting little bits out and a comb that was fine one end and bit wider teeth the other....other than that a stripping knife as a comb. Some people rave about the furminators, only used a double blade one which I thought was naff, but should imagine the single blades ones are better. Hope that helps.

Mine got caught on her back thigh the other month. She was coming back down from a wall she was on top of, but the wire was set away from the wall about a foot off, clipped it on he way down...made a mess, but luckily just superficial, cost about £200, had to just stand insurance excess of £60 through tesco ......I pay £26.17 per month in total for my two.
