    I do like to see the dogs make a catch, always a great sight, but on most of the land we work it's higly impracticle to just run the dogs, you would catch very few (nature of the land), and i do really really take pleasure in the art of setting purse nets, quickly, efficiently and well, lovely to see a rabbit going no where. So i guess for me it's purse nets and dog to mop up anything else. I love the days when nothing that bolts gets missed between the two.

    Cracking mate, always look out for your posts, always a good read and pics! Keep at them mate!

    Nice dogs pal, cheers for sticking the photos up. I would be fairly sure that by the end of the season, if you work at it a bit, the terrier will start marking, it's pretty natural to them, and once he does, you will have much more efficient days!

    How am i 'complicating it', i could say you are over symplifying it. To be honest i think it's a daft question mate, or maybe i don't understand what you are getting at? For most 'numbers' are better, but i'd rather be out every day taking 5 a day, than once a week taking 30, ultimatly you take more in a season, and you have less days stuck in the house sat on your ass. And like i said, it's mostly about the land and not the person. If there are a lot of rabbits there, ANY person with half a brain can bag up. Using lamping as an example, i'd say the dog that gets 8 runs and takes 7

    Permission is a funny thing. These days there are an awful lot of folk 'into' hunting, be it ferreting, shooting, lamping etc etc. It's getting harder in some areas to get new land, we do a lot of land here, but as it's land we have done for years the numbers are right down, in comparisson with what they were when they started. Folk always say if you do a good job new land will come, but it's not ALWAYS true, you do hit a point where all the land is being done or has been done. . . . The worst thing we have round here now is folk, mostly from the cities/towns, paying farmers to shoot the r

    Lab - If numbers are better, how bout this? Man one goes out on a weekend one day and takes 30 in a day. Man two goes out seven days that week for an hour a time and ends the week on 40. You need to work it out over the season, not by the highest number taken in a day, and work out for many are bolted to how many bagged, as any idiot can get high numbers on land that is over run. The One - depends what the work mate wants, if he just wants a rabbit 'sometime', or for his dinner tomorrow, you do whats needed i guess. But as i said, you can't catch what's not there, some land we do, we m

      Aye mate, i'm sat in work and that was my breakfast. Nae kids yet, so f**k all to do, just waiting for it to end so i can go out with the mutt and ferrets.

    'Best'???? You can't catch what isn't there mate. I'd say they are the same guy. If you wanted to judge it, maybe it's more about your percentage found to ground and bagged?

    Rob / wxm - - Yes Coyotes are like dogs, but so are foxes, i never said my moral argument made any sense. - Yes i do think we have big enough space, and if not, in this fantasy land, i would just kill/deport half of our population, and start from there. - And yes, you would need either a very fast dog, or preferably a very fast dog with very good stamina. But i think it could be / is done. I will also give a vote for racoon. Which incidentally is also probably one of those mentioned that would be easiest and quickest to introduce. But ALL of these introduced species would f

    Slightly seeded mate, it's the way forward.

    I honestly didn't realize you could still keep them in Ireland. Learn something new every day!

    I wouldn't kill a meerkat rob, too much like a ferret for me to kill. I'd quite like coyotes, but along with a ban on guns and a lift on the ban on dogs. Or some kind of antelope, like springbok.

    Gcses/Alevels, a degree in Anthropology, a masters in Social and Cultural Anthropology, a teaching qualification, various other diplomas and shit, o and i'm a trained life guard haha. It's funny because i never really showed my face much at any of the above, just got my head down when i needed to. I'm going to do another M.A next year, probably in Social Work, and i'm kind of working on a PHD by publication (publishing journals / papers etc).

    Kay, you're ace.
  17. Ideation
    Aye anyone know cheapest place for an extra collar, i need another 1 or 2.
  18. Ideation
    Looks smart and well built mate.
  19. Ideation
    Every which way you can. Follow up every lead, knock every door, ask any farmer you see, go beating on shoots. Be polite, smart, keep to your word and get the job done as you say you will, no ifs, no buts.
  20. Ideation
    Good picture matey, did the dogs get much running?
  21. Ideation
    Well done buddy! What lurcher is it you have? And can you not get any of the dogs marking? Would save you some hassle mate.
  22. Ideation
    Cheers matey!

    Closest i've come to it is getting bunged a few notes for agreeing to ferret some big grounds (gardens) for a pest controller mate, who had gassed it a few times, and then did not want to spend money on more gas to clear the odd one or two coming back in. He just charged the client an extra 40/50 quid, and bunged me it for fuel, and gave the client my number. Most folk realize good land is like gold dust.

    Maybe not quite 4ft mate, but it's a big bugger. Most of what i have bolted so far have been a good size, they seem to grow big around here. Get them weighing about 2kg. Only been out once proper, the rest have just been the odd one or two on an evenings walk. Had about 45 so far i think, just local.

    Two kits will probably chatter a fair bit, roll around and play fight and then settle down to a life of happy families.
