Agree with you mate, don't tend to work the same warren twice in 1 season, quite fortunate that we have enough land to mean we can do this. If you have to work the same warrens in the season try to rotate them so you give them as long as possible between visits. Atb Kev

It's simple really if you are out poaching make every effort to be discreet its not rocket science, even down to tying the gate ropes the same as you found them, the old boys who first took me were poachers and were respectful to the land, if you go cutting fences, leaving gear lying around etc its only a matter of time till the land is so red hot you won't be able to move.... And common courtesy, manners etc go a long way to gaining permission or easing a fraught situation................ Also it's not just young lads, maybe they need a bit of guidance at times you always get the odd dick in

Nice one lads good bag there....

bitch badly milked up after first season
NEWKID replied to sky2008's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
That's good to know Skycat, my terrier suffers a bit with phantom pregnancies, I was advised to use galastop, but noticed she got really miserable I put it down to the hormones from the season but now I'm thinking it maybe the galastop....... -
I lamp mine mate and works with the ferrets, she's 3/4 whip 1/4 bed, she ain't a bad rabbiting dog so far mate...... Got her faults but I think most have if truth be told......... Good luck with your pup
-
Cheers Kev, Bron is coming along nicely mate, she's a little excitable at times but other than that she's turning into a decent little bitch. . Glad to hear it mate, as a kid we had collie x's I'll be looking for a pup next spring and it will definitely have some collie in it, hope yours comes good for you mate. Atb Kev

It's on newsnight now...... Bill oddie talking shit...

Well done to you and your kids, really enjoyed this story....
-
Think conditions could be pretty good later, the rains slowing up and we're supposed to be getting some wind too. Got soaked this morning with the ferrets and I think I'll be getting wet later
-
Some great ideas lads, loving that jay paulus, these threads really show what the hunting community is about..... It shows solidarity and respect...... It needs someone with a bit of clout to formulate the plan and put it into action now..... I've no doubt these aren't empty promises and we can bring something positive out of this..... The same as most on here I would love to contribute, I've got some decent fishing gear for a prize donation and would send a money donation once organized......
-
Even though its the web, there is a real sense of community amongst us: hunters all, in a world where hunting is seen to be wrong by many people. It binds us together: and long may it do so. My thoughts exactly skycat, it puts the Petty squabbles, who's dog is best rubbish into perspective at the end of the day this forum is good because of who's on it and why we're all on it.... A love of hunting.... Craigyboy was a big contributed to the forum and because of that we all feel like we've lost someone we really knew... A mate really.... It's a strange thing this on line over the web yapp
-
Nice one Sean another top write up and pics...
-
Some very nice gestures here lads, if between us something could be set up I would be glad to donate/ help,..... Let a little time pass maybe his wife will have a cause which she would like donations or proceeds from events set up to go too....
-
Just in from lamping, see a post about Craigy on the I phone and expected good news, I just feel gutted now....... As many others I never met the man but always looked for his posts and genuinely laughed out loud at some and enjoyed reading most....... it's funny how we all share this strange cyber space connection and it's plain to see he made an impact on people even though they had never met him, that must be the mark of a good man....... My deepest condolences to his family and friends........ Rest in Peace Craigyboy.......
-
Brilliant mate.... Keep them happy and it keeps you happy it's a win win..... Sounds like busy season ahead..... Good luck

Don't be silly the poor lads scared of the dark

Your right there gnash its definitely a long road, my dad had small parts of his front lobe removed, they said it was bruised like an apple, it's had a small affect on his behavior, but he lives a completely normal life now...... Considering at one point we were told he wouldn't pull through, then at best he would be mentally and physically handicapped for life.... We can only hope and pray for Craig's full recovery and I would say to his family have faith in the doctors and the way Craig comes over on here he'll fight like hell and I try believe that makes a big difference.....
-
I've got miendl boots, comfy, waterproof and lasted a few years and still going strong..... I use mead foot oil on them to protect them, prefer boots and gaters to wellies.....
-
ideation, we do very similar hedges get as many holes as we can but net the runs and use a couple of stop nets on the outside..... Would be f#cked without the dogs though, the terrier is very useful on the top, although by the sounds of your whippet he thinks he's a terrier lol, fair play to you getting in amongst it thoug, there's plenty that won't..... They don't know what they're missing lol
-
Cheers Johnny, couldn't get out this weekend it was my lads birthday, but still had the odd thorn to pick out from last weekend lol. Jamie Lol, got a few mates in the marines who keep me supplied, that's not me in the photo, my trouser had ripped from my balls to my ankle in the morning much to the amusement of Micky........
-
Good write up and pics lads... That's a proper hedge for sure, most of our permission is big solid hedges, I can only dream of open buries lol..... Nothing like numb hands for the following week and picking out thorns for days lol........ Brons come on well Johnny really like the look of her.... Do you net all the holes or put nets in the runs through the top of the hedge?
