  1. Eastern Europeans who thought they were going to get a tug!
  2. Only took my little compact camera so clarity not so good, but hope you find them interesting. It was a walk along part of the pennine way in the dark peak, crossing Goodbent and Crowden grouse moors. There was plenty to see, bloody cold and the photos dont do it justice!
  3. If there is 50 that are actually bothered its a sad state of affairs
  4. My patterdale sometimes picks them up dead where they have f*cked up and fallen out of the tree.
  5. Yes that isn't the case feller I haven't had any that need following up because as I intimated its a case of knowing yours and your firearms limitations. There are times you will not have bb's in the chamber when a fox requires killing and yet a game cartridge will still so the job. Not many could change loads when a fox suddenly appears from out of a barn, or around a wall without that fox being out of range within seconds and presenting a tail shot. Just because you call yourself fox dropper doesn't mean that you are the be all and end all, and it should be the shooter that makes the judge
  6. looks fat enough It's all those battered mars bars it eats
  7. Yet again though, someone is dictating their views on everybody else. Are you really saying that a fox in a trap cannot be dispatched with a .410 loaded with 6 shot? Are you saying that a fox in a back garden cannot be dispatched from 20 yards with 32grams of 5's? Are you saying that an opportunity at a fox when sitting in a hide should be turned down because you are only loaded with 30 gram Grand Prix? All that is required is common sense and not red mist. Before so many people had easy access to CF rifles and mods, loads of foxes were shot with shot guns and rimfires and still do get shot
  8. No only very short burns, don't see anything come out, and never seen grass or adders. Fire is the great reviver and it brings the moor to life and keeps it fresh. The pipets are back the curlews will be here in the next week or two....... And then shortly after, the midges !!
  9. It can only be good for them Lanber, and they learn a little about the value of conservation at the same time.
  10. Kids on half term and the local keeper said they could come up and help with some burning. Once up on the tops, it was obvious that the keepers from all the neighbouring moors, were all doing the same, plumes of smoke everywhere. Not only that but the whole of the horizon was covered in a thick layer of smoke from much further afield, and probably the moors of N yorkshire. Really good for the kids to get involved, and they both loved it!
  11. It's the posts that are put up by the members that are nothing posts and only put up to start arguments that ruin it.
  12. The only point I can see at the moment is that this is a thread that people don't want to join in on, and get drawn into a pointless conversation.
  13. Can beat that!!!In the early 90's the Manchester kebab meat factory was next door to a Mortuary!! Never eat one since
  14. Depends on what you call a midden and what you call bait
  15. toby,your right,it aint hard to snare.. but what if you dont know the land,,new area, no fence or hedges for miles and no cover .... where would you start ??On the runs, to a midden, to a baiting point in the rushes with rides cut into them etc
  16. Anybody know anyone with any in stock as I need some for some pike and bass flies. (Lakeland don't have any in stock)
