    You got to do what you need to do, or the landowner moves onto somebody else. They then sort the problem out, and you end up missing out on the sport and the cash.

    I have all the details worked out , I wish to have happen upon my death, because you never know when, with most of the world's people kicking off before the age of 60 if you are passed that point you are in bonus time. If you knew me, you would know I've gone at life at 100 miles an hour with no let up. I don't intend to slow down now, and I've cheated death a number of times, and this has driven my life along at break neck speed. I got lucky, mates pointing out, you have had 9 cat lives, you most of used up most by now my reply was and is, "oh I've got a couple left yet, but you can't outrun

    My life of chasing the coney has drawn to a close. I am aware my time has come and gone. A new chap has been employed to cover the area I've worked for the last 26 years. To be truthful, this has proved much harder than I first thought. I feel a sense of great sadness, all that remains is to wind down the pack, some have already gone, gifted to the new fella to make his start easier, and sell up while the market is good. I know it's the right thing to do, I will spend the next month showing the new fella Mark all the hot spots. Sadly, I won't keep another ferret nor dog, that is going to be th

    I hate to be the bearer of sad tidings but RCD will have put paid to your rabbits, unlike mixiy it remains waiting up to a year for the host to return.It is spread by the wind or flies landing on a dead body then flying onto a dung heap, it's deadly even when small pockets increase and have us thinking yes oh yes ,they silently disappear. However given time they can rebuild and become uneffected and breed a % of others that are also uneffected, sadly this process can take a decade or more.

    As I enjoy my own company, I must be an anti A hole, but I don't care. When I'm out by myself, there's nobody in my flaming way , no endless talking about Jackshit, no calling the dog over their way and no yelling out there's one above ground over here. I don't need anyone else, I'm happy in my own company, until a row breaks out .

    They have banned greyhound racing in New Zealand about a month ago and put in place measures that stops the dogs being put down. There is about 4,000 greyhounds that require homes ,last year they rehomed 140 odd. The Government will pay a % of their feed bill. They flew 12 to the states as there is a shortage of dogs needing rehoming so 12 greyhounds took to the skies at god knows what cost ,just goes to show how deep the madness goes.

    Lovely Bitch that one ,remember the champ dogs all started somewhere, a journey starts with one step.

    I'm looking for a bolthole, a place without this overwhelming control along with drowning levels of B/s. This coming generation doesn't miss and value what they have never had /lived or known. Their world is right now and normal, sitting down in front of the telly and watching bombs and rockets raining down on homes, churches cafés where the whole buildings disappear in a cloud of dust, smoke and fire, families wiped out, soldiers hunted down by done's forcing anyone that wants to live to hide down under ground like a troop of rats, and no one appears to care ,more important is making sure no

    We try to use a wild hob for any breeding every 3/4 years as it helps the stock from becoming interbred and adds fire to their offspring. Well we did when the law allowed the breeding, gifting and the selling of ferrets. The days any of that carry on, would now attract a huge fine. There would not be any more than 10 people keeping ferrets now and once this "predator free" program swings into action that will be the end of keeping of ferrets. The government has plans to spend a billion Dollars to remove all predators from New Zealand. This list incudes ALL ferrets, stoats, weasels and rats, ev

    Nice work ,how's that bitch bred Moochersways?

    When back in the day, as the saying goes, I myself had several bull crosses who would hold the pig by the end of the nose, they would normally have some damage under the jaw, but it was a safe place to hold over all. A hunt that springs to mind was when I'd caught a sow on heat, and one weekend and had seen the marks of a bigger boar, so I knew the boar would be hanging around hand. The very next weekend, my brother and I decided to hunt the same block of native bush again, looking for the big boar, so after checking a number of places any pigs in the area like to nest up in with no luck, the

    I brought a bitch whom I called Meg as a puppy . Even though her sire and dam were shown, they were also allowed to work small game that included hare, rabbit and possums. I used Meg within the bobby pack hunting rabbits, finding her to have an excellent tracking nose, she loved to chase hares. Her nature was faultless to a T and I only saw her lose her rag one day when the farmer's fluffy worm bag house dog came racing out of the house at full speed and nose. It made for Meg and rattled off several barks within her personal space, that's when Meg reached out and grabbed fluffy by the middle o

    Yes during the roar you hear of at least a few hunters, having managed to call a big stag up ,shoot and then be unable to find it due to heavy cover of crown fern. A well-trained blood tracking dog would be ideal & certainly save a lot of dead time.

    You could move into that and live happily ever after.
  21. toolebox
    Yes they voice differently depending on the hunt, the first stage is the odd howl on a cold scent, and then the next stage, which is a faster louder howl once they jump the animal and the third stage is the howl at the bail if in fact the animal decides to stop. This serves three main outcomes, the first being it, brings all the hounds together at the right place, the second is to drive the game towards waiting guns or push wild game to either climb a tree or back against something solid and face the hounds and the last is to communicate to the hunter what is happening at the coalface of the h

    Yes, a sporting type of hound, bred in France with the crossing of two types of hound. These dogs are better suited as a big game hound, however I am giving some thought to the idea of training him up to follow a blood track of a wounded deer or boar. The bottom eyelids should improve with age, by the time he is full-grown ( 3 years old)if they don't, he will require an operation.

    I first spotted an add for some Blue tick Coon hounds last year, one breed that I had hunted with, during my OE to the United States 40 years ago. I'd always fancied owning one of these big game hounds. Unfortunately, I had a lot on, including several operations to address several medal complaints, so it was with heavy heart I had to pass on one of those pupplie's . Then out of the blue I saw that the breeder decided doing justest to several hounds at once, therefore had decided to rehome a 13-month-old male.I made contact as soon as I could and within a couple of weeks, Bolt arrived full of b

    Strange you should mention this as I've lost a few from two separate litters a year or two back . I wasn't sure why they died until I clean out the cage and found part of a rotten rabbit hidden in their nest box hidden under the bedding straw. This pointed to the cause in both cases, the older ferrets have a system that can overcome a bad bug, unfortunately the young don't have the same protection until they are a little older. Sorry for your lose ,it's gutting
