  1. are you trying to deny the FACT that the british army numbering 16500 was wiped out? 50 were captured and near all survived to be subsequently released after a ransom was paid including Sir Robert Sale's wife, Lady Florentia Sale. Nor was Brydon the only European to survive the trek from Kabul to Jalalabad without spending time in captivity, by Brydon's own account a "greek merchant", Mr Baness, also made it to Jalalabad arriving two days after Brydon but surviving for only one day 50 survivors out of 16500 i would say that is a wipeout Are you conveniently not answering to the
  2. About 400 just for the ferrets.
  3. If you grab them they will end up skulking. And to make her 'spray' you must have grabbed her VERY hard.
  4. He's not slipping them is he. . . .. they are loose when ferreting, thats just what happens, and anyway it's pest control not just to watch a run so its the most effective method.
  5. All that stuff about 'every british soldier dying in afghanistan' in the last campaign. . . ... . . if that was true i wouldnt have been born. That was the 'First Anglo-Afghan' war. . . . .. . there were two following that one. Oh and forty men DID survive the first war. So get your facts right mate.
  6. on the day of 7/7 visor consultants had 1000 people working on a terror drill which was the exact same scenario as the bombings that occurred that day as said by peter power the man who runs visor consultants 1.000 people kept a secret of the security services murdering their on countrymen dont be so ridiculous.i see you have conviently not answered me on the people making calls to their family on the planes that day.describing muslims with bandanas tied round there heads chanting quotes from the quoran and bombs strapped to them.granted they were fake bombs,but they didnt know that.or ma
  7. Very nice mate - you can always tell from the eyes and the way they stand at that age, going to be a smart dog, in both senses of the word! You sure there is only bull and grey? That other pup looks like it's got a merle eye? Both of them remind me of collie/bull/grey. . . . Either way if you do her proud i reckon she will CERTAINLY do you proud!
  8. Bollocks i've got a freezer full mate and three fresh here.
  9. I keep a fairly sporadic game book. . . . . which i forget to write in. But i do try to keep on top of it for the land which i have been asked or paid to clear. In this case mixi rabbits are included, but with an M next to them so i can judge how bad it is in an area. Some farmers / land owners want to know a number and it looks more convincing to say 'wait a sec' then reach for the book in the glove box, rather than just pulling a number out of the air, even if it'd be the same number, somehow the book makes it look more convincing.
  10. Fly Fishing, Mooch with dogs and Shooting all in the same day! And ferreting tomorrow!

  11. i must admit i wouldnt like the dog grabbing them in the net if it was THAT hard mouthed . . . its just the way i have trained every lurcher ive had not to grab them in the nets prob wouldnt rip my nets the more i think about it,but just dont like it personally. My issue with the dog grabbing the rabbit in the net is that...... the rabbit is IN THE NET. . .. . so does not need the dogs attention, if he runs to grab a netted rabbit and then another comes out of a bolt hole i've missed or kicks another net at the same time then he isn't going to be on hand to sort it out as he
  12. I agree they are really nice pups . . . . . . but do they really look any different from ANY pups at that age. . . . .? Not having a dig at the OP, just always makes me laugh when people see a photo of a huddle of pups a couple of days old and say 'really nice, strong, healthy looking pups' etc. To be honest you can't even tell what breed they are at that age even if the photos were in-detail shots. With photos of them huddled around the bitches teats you can't even tell if they have four legs!
  13. Nice pups mate, the body language of the one with the patch on its eye really stads out to me as top pup
  14. I'm with malt on the terrier front. To be fair more of our rabbits come from the terriers marking, being pushed to ground by the terrier working the hedges, ditches etc and some are even caught in the cover by the terrier. Mostly the lurcher stands about not doing much, as it should be in you lay your nets well etc. How often do you really get something slipping the net? Still both is ideal, nice whippet (initial acceleration is key where we are) and decent terrier.
  15. Wasn't advocating use of an electric collar, you don't need to inflict any paint to be firm. Don't be patronizing, it's got f**k all to do with being 'big' or 'hard' or any kind of gender division, love has it's place. . . . .. . i love my dogs. But do they love me? Who knows. . . . . . . i can't exactly ask them can i? They may lick my face, jump on me and come for attention and snuggles, but that is exactly what they would do to the alpha dominant pack leader. . . . . the same leader they would kill / drive off and replace if he became weak. I think you hit the nail on the head with re

  17. Alternatively, he could try training the dog properly and getting his recall 100% before he takes a young adolescent dog out onto the fields at night. Edit: I make 'liver cake' when training a pup. It is irresistible to dogs and ensures they don't want to leave your side and it really helps with recall training. I can PM you the recipe if you like...and it's cheaper than an electric collar too. It also ensures the dog obeys your recall because he loves you and not because he's shit scared of you. I don't agree with making a dog shit scared of you, but i also dont think 'love'
  18. Spot on. Gut them and have a look, if it just looks like crap, chuck it, but if its just started around the eyes and the body is ok - then it's no problem. I've eaten plenty of mixi rabbits when i been broke and had little choice. One thing - if they are all over your mountain. . . . . cull the f**k out of them as hard as you can.
  19. f*****g depressed.

  21. All in all mate you and the two dogs made it home alive. . . . . . that's a good start.
  22. Spot on mate. I think Buttermilk got confused - no one was comparing their and her way of doing it and saying one was better, worse, or shit (other than her), they were merely highlighting the potential problems or dangers, which was what was asked for as advise, to which she then got defensive and proceded to discount it all based upon her personal experiance Don't be so utterly patronising Ideation....just because you can string a decent sentence together and use grammar properly, it doesn't make you the oracle. I didn't get confused or defensive....and I never said anyone's
  23. thanks mate, had alot who like him , if i did breed maybe 2-3 seasons with him then might use hin then. here crazy c a few bags last season , going for red coats this season !! Love those pics as well. . .. . . it's like. . .rabbits, rabbits, rabbits . . oh and two munty. . . .
