    i have used the .270 for all deer, pigs and also a bull strangely enough and as a one cartridge fits all its possibly one of the best out there bullet selection is paramount i have shot sika with this and dropped them on the spot but i have also had them run on and on inspection heart has been nothing but jelly and blood shot placement is key if you want to drop them on the spot. i personnally go for the boiler room and have the dog with me for follow ups

    sounds to me like the rifle is either not powerful enough for the range your using it at or the pellet is not hitting what you are aiming at or your aiming at the wrong point. as said on the first page stop shooting live targets and get it checked out

    a dab of anything is not needed to remove ticks with a otom tick puller no lighter fluid no petrol andno vaseline. just use the otom tick puller as directed and hey presto it comes out as the saying goes it does what it says on the packet.

    its that time of year when a lot of new comers will be getting ferts for the first time and come across this site for a bit of help. hows about a sticky from one of the good members on here about looking after ferts and stopping them nipping and all the other fun we have with new kits. possibly save answering the same questions time and again. ill start below please add or correct what i put, i claim to be no expert or have all the answers i just know whats worked for me in the past. please point out anything that you feel needs changing or adding or removing hope it helps someone

    there should be no need to scruff them or flick their noses just handle and handle some more they will get the idea let them enjoy been handled and have no fear of your hands then they should stop biting if you flick them or scruff them and cause em pain then they will learn to fear your hands. you have ferrets yes they will bite when they are young and maybe when they are older in some circumstances.but getting them to not bite is all down to handling them in as many different scenarios as possible let them run on the grass then pick them up pick them up from the hutch and put in you carr

    as above more you handle the better they will be

    kits tend to be fully grown by 17-18weeks i still class them as kits for the first year still.

    get em seperated quickly during the breeding season they can get up to all sorts and can become quite agressive towards each other

    frontline i think is working as the ticks are to small to use the large otom puller on and dont seem inflated like they do when they have had a good feed they are still flat ill just keep going with them and hope that i break the cycle like you say cheers

    small hob that i took in after it was found has a recurring problem with ticks. hes been treated with frontline all the ticks have been removed and hes been put in a new hutch. they dont seem to be causing him any disress but its bloody annoying that i cant get to the bottom of it i even puthim in the shower the other day see if it helps locate more ticks this helps as its easier to check the skin as the fur becomes easier to see through. have frontlined his cage and given it a good going over with the blowlamp hopefully i have done all that i can to rid him of this problem. anyone else got an

    ive got squeak, yo yo and penny here at the moment all named by the kids i may add but the best one i heard was on here last year and that was 'dita von teeth' still makes me laugh now.

    ive got meself a 3/4whippetx !/4 beddy to go woth this year she seems to have the idea on her all ready she has a good nose and seems to be marking up the right burrows not bolted one for her yet but shes well in with the ferts and her retreive is good so hopefully she will pick it all up in her own good time. any of you guys do specific training for this work or like me let them develop it naturally over time

    and also if you only breed one ferret a year your telling us that you have a european black eyed white micro but you charge depending on the darkness of the poor things coat is this a f*****g wind up or what
  19. muddy210
    only a peddlar would sell his EU's depending on how dark they are its about time the mods got involved here and get removed

    you can have the best fox calls on the market but they dont allways work. getting a fox to come to a call is a matter of using the wind, using the call properly to imitate the animal you are trying to be usually a rabbit. and a host of varying other things that can crop up. all the stories you read about the fox came galloping upto the whistle without stopping are true to some extent but only sometimes. i go out frequently with a team that have been calling foxes for a very very long time and have seen most things related to calling foxes.... BUT we are allways learning and trying differen

    keep looiing at the freeadds and stuff like that for a hutch ask everyone ya know as well as there are a lot of people that have had a rabbit at some time most of my hutches have come this way i never turn one down if its offered. as for feeding them biscuits these days are good enough to feed all the time and can be bought for 20 quid for 15-20kilos its not th best diet for them by any stretch of the imagination. if you want to keep them for nothing as said its possible with a bit of work roadkill and freebies to top up what ya ferret in winter. these days everyone uses a locater i certai

  23. muddy210
    i had a small hob come in a few weeks ago looking very sorry for himself after asking arouns i was told to give him some minced belly pork to get some fat and weight back on him he looks very good now.
