FFS, he's a chef not a ferreter! Maybe you'd all like to post pictures of your latest gastronomic delights on the Masterchef forums and see what response you get At least it was on, showed that ferreters don't kill every rabbit they see, shows that the rabbit dies quickly and what a perfect example of 'free range' food the rabbit is.

Just treat them with care and they'll last a lifetime Hang them to dry when you've used them, and do not store them in direct sunlight (especially behind a window!). Crow

I agree that the single-handed-running-out-and-pegging-as-you-go method requires more skill than other methods of setting the net, but even then it's not that hard, it just takes practice. However, Woz's original question was: And the question has to be a firm 'yes', that's why more people are using them these days Crow

Any idiot can set the basket/quickset/easyset system (and apologies if you are one of those that can't - having said that if you can't set a basket system then I doubt you have the savvy to turn on a pc, log on to the internet, find a hunting forum, register, sign in and then read this post anyway!). That's exactly why the basket system has been developed; because it's easy and anyone can do it. As for the traditional method then it really doesn't take that much practice does it? It seems to me that the constant banging on about the method of setting the longnet is taking the modern ne

They are probably not what they say they are Finding a genuine Timber Wolf in the first place is hard enough, but if you did do you think the owner would let you try to put it over an Akita? And then sell the pups for £500 (a decent lurcher pup costs more than that ) in the local free-ads! Very suss! Crow

Let's be honest, some of the 'supporters' don't sound too bright either

The University she's at is about 20 miles from me. It looks like she has been studying one piece of land over the years that belongs to the National Trust (or similar - I'm a bit drunk and can't remember!). They were quite happy that the land had developed into a great place for heather, dross, etc to grow and that the rabbits urine had created a great place for long weeds (for the butterflies!) - oh and that the rabbits had kept the grass nice and short (well, that's OK if you're a wheat farmer then!). She also said Myxi is as effective now as it was in 1955 (so how come I'm regularly cat

I doubt the artist actually gives a f**k about the starving dogs, more of his own fame and recognition. If he did then he's made his point once, why do it again eh? And I fail to see how anyone can accept this artists behaviour in any way shape or form; its nothing but intended cruelty on an animal and its a f*****g disgrace. Anyway, whilst I can't do anything positive at this moment in time about the mass of starving dogs in the world, the number of kids dying from Aids, the number of woman who will be raped this year, the number of people who will be murdered trying to protect their

Signed the petition and copied the info to my own forum too (I doubt you'll mind!) Crow

Depends on how thick it is! I have some three ply which is actually 'heavier' than the five ply I use; it's too heavy for purse nets but ideal for fox nets. Had the three ply been 3/5ths of the five ply (if you know what I mean) then I wouldn't use it for anything! Crow

i bred BEW together for 5 years running and not one of the litters had a defect ........... Then perhaps you were as lucky with your BEW as I was with my silvers? The scientific evidence is out there for all to see Crow Just as an after-thought - did they always throw BEW?
-
I have both silvers and black-eyed whites; my silvers have sometimes moulted to almost white, but my black-eyed whites have never moulted to silver By the way, mating two black-eyed whites together carries the same risks as mating two silvers together! Crow

I'm sure others will post as their dogs progress. Nice looking dog, good luck wth her Crow

Never seen the barbed wire trick, in fact I've never seen the bramble trick work in real life either!

We've all seen the posts that lead us to YouTube and Google videos that show us (as in the hunting fraternity) in a bad light - so why post them? Surely, if you see a video that makes you repulsed, angry, etc then why not just report it to the host and get it removed rather than post it for all to see? After all, it only takes three clicks to report a video, but endless clicks and typing to post a link on here! We all know sites such as this are monitored, and every little piece of propoganda that we push towards our opponents can be used in a detrimental way. People in videos that mos

Yeah, I know; it was a light-hearted comment, I don't need a lecture!

One minute it's fighting, the next it's flirting - no wonder our apponents are confused

One guy puts forward an idea (and that's all it was) on how he sees fieldsportsmen and woman in this country uniting and he gets shot down for it! Seemingly he would have done better to put up pictures of a lurcher and three hares with the title 'pre ban pics' - that would surely have received more of a positive response. As has been said the views on this thread demonstrate far too clearly why Sporting Agents idea wouldn't work; it would only work if people approached it with an open mind and gave it a go! Sadly, it appears that for some people that hasn't even been a consideration. I

As has been said often enough it doesn't matter how you carry your net in the field, how you set it up or how long it takes - it's where and when that counts Having said that, you're a better netsman if you get to the fields in a Toyota Hilux as apposed to an Escort Estate
-
Having read that I think you should give your 'confused' dog to me and give up lurcher ownership for good! How can you expect to get anything from a dog if you're not prepared to put the time and effort into it? Jesus, good dogs are made not brought - and definately not swapped!

Forget about what you should have done, concentrate on what you have done and what you've got! I doubt she gets confused. At a year old she's hardly old enough to be described as 'a lamping dog' - sounds to me the end product of a messer! I suspect that she just hasn't much experience so give the dog time, work her light for now and then concentrate on just getting out in the fields with her over the summer months. Allow her to see a few young daytime rabbits and to chase them - don't worry too much about catching them. Use this time to get her ready for next season. Remember that

Here you go - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - First you’re going to need some materials and net-making equipment: Rings: 1 inch rings are usually used for a rabbit purse net, although other sizes may be used. Rings can be of a variety of materials from plastic through to stainless. As you can see I use brass rings (but these are expensive!). Whatever rings you use make sure they are not going to perish or rush within a couple of years. Draw cord: Braided nylon is most commonly used, but again other cords can be used. Whatever material you u

Doesn't get the joke :wacko:

I like the way one of them puts his hand in a hutch, nearly gets bitten and then justifies it by saying 'these are the workers'. Total crap! With that amount of rabbits about my aunt Doris could catch them
