  1. Hello folks, had a couple of bad weeks with my heart condition, ended up having to have a pacemaker fitted. Feeling great now but it’s feck my life up a bit as well, can’t weld no more, done it for 42yrs for my job so don’t know what will happen there. Just trying to find out if my pard008lrf will affect me, more so by the range finding facility, so many things I need to find out but it is hard to believe if websites tell truths or lies, you can get opposite answers for the same question, had to choice but have the pacemaker, it was either that or cemetery.
  2. Just about size mainly, I want one for moles mainly, if 250 big enough I might go for that. Thank you
  3. A type i like, bitch on the right is my old first x, great little ferreting bitch with a cracking nose, pic on right is her daughter i bred 3/4 whippet 1/4 beddy and her son far left, 7/8 whippet 1/8 beddy. My old bitch is retired now, living with my daughter as a pet.
  4. Get onto chicken man, he might put you onto something decent, from your parts as well.
  5. The litter i bred in the early 80's was out of that dog and bitch, red lakeland bitch had a bit of Gary Middleton stuff in.
  6. When Richard Pritch Bland hunted the Melbreak he had a line of little red terrier that were border xl Lakeland of differing levels, i bred a first x litter in the 80’s smart little red terriers, game little things as well.
  7. great post mate, its like reading my own story, i have not got to the jacking my job in stage, i dont think i will go that far, i will wait until i take early retirement, just another hard couple of years then, im fecked thinking about it lol.
  8. Anyone use a 250 Honda quad or maybe need to look at 350, I don’t want a big quad, just thinking about one for moles, was thinking about a jimny but prices are very high, couldn’t get hold of commercial one.
  9. Had trouble getting right size tyres they are 17 x 50 could only get certain ones in 55 not 50 so just got some winter tyres the right size
  10. Are them stocks coated on the wood or like plastic stuff, i like the idea of them. thanks mate.
  11. Don’t seem as big the airsporter since when I was a kid. Great gun, the sport looks great Jimmy, you have done a cracking job of it.
  12. Aye very sad that is, seems to be the good dogs that have the tragedies, RIP
  13. Them plummers have a decent nose a few few folk have told me
  14. Tried a 4 turn spring and a aluminium mumble stick, worked great, they will get a fair old whack off this spring around the the ribs, no sign of struggle at all, I would think it is as humane as any other mole trap.
  15. They where the Rolls Royce when we were kids
  16. We used to sneak on a local farm at night as kids, used to net the sets up with purse nets and then walk the fields back netting the rabbits, you want someone handy to dispatch them as the buggers will chew the nets to bits like last time I dropped my quick set myself, bugger had some holes in when I got back to it ?
  17. Aye I’ve done that, if you can slip nets on quietly while rabbits are out in the field you can catch a few, not miles different than using a long net it’s just catching them trying to get back to safety
  18. 15 months and 19 1/2” , nippy little thing, looking forward to some ferreting with her this winter, a good age now for it.
  19. Deary me Jimmy you didn’t like that bugger??
  20. Thank you for replying, something to think about ?
