  1. Well for something like a rabbit, most terriers are up for that. Same goes for rats. Possom i dont know anything about. Fox above ground (so long as they can corner it or they wont catch it) again any terrier. Fox below ground, patterdales are the hardest. Lakelands and jacks are good too. A bloke round here who is the local terrier man and does all the earths for the keepers uses lakeland x jacks but owns a patterdale too. As for coyotes, i dont have any experience of those but i know there big c**ts and are a handfull. Considering all that i would go for a pack of patterdales.
  2. Thanks for the replies peeps. Just a couple of points: The ground is a scabby little patch of brambles, nothing to shout about but hey ho it was convenient when my moter was off the road and i didnt want to put on my dad to much driving me all over the place. There are deer there, plenty in fact, no livestock anywhere near. The deer are wild. I wouldnt want permission there because of all the dog walkers and tourists. There ARE some fields there that are just grassland which is where i was walking during the second encounter with the jobsworth. These fields had a footpath all the way round th
  3. Iv just put the link on facebook. I wonder how long it will be till facebook bans me?! Lol!
  4. Sampson what are the terriers going to be doing workwise? Earthwork? Ratting? Bushing for rabbits? Ferreting?
  5. Iv got a plummer x patterdale. Only a baby really at the moment but mate hese a fiesty little f****r! Lol! When he gets the hump even my collie greyhound keeps out the way! Thats what a terrier should be imo. And hunting, what to do with game etc is simply an instinct for them. The rabbit in the pic was already dead but he crept up on it, grabbed the back of its neck and shook it silly! Lol!
  6. Grayham thats what i thought mate, Big bald dont worry, its all in hand! Lol! And bird, again thats what i thought. Cheers peeps.
  7. When is it LEGAL for a farmer/landowner/keeper to shoot a lurcher? Im asking cos i was walking the dogs a few weeks ago and was told to bugger off by some jobsworth saying i was on private property bla bla. The following week im in the same area (not the same bit of land) and the same jobsworth comes up and again tells me to bugger off bla bla. He told me they have a serious problem with dogs chasing deer in the area and he has applied for a licence from defra to shoot any dogs he catches chasing deer. He went on to explain that he will need to take a photograph first as evedence the dog was c
  8. The first thing a rat goes for is the eyes of their target. Once they have bitten out the eyes the bird is helpless. I know this because my dad also keeps racing pigeons and i took my 9 mil shotty and torch for a walk one night about 30 seconds to late to save one of his younguns. Its eyes were gone and it was in agony (strangely enough!). The point i am making is if the gosling still had its eyes when you found it, it was not killed by rats. Also, a family of rats can and will strip the meat off a carcass quite happily and quickly and have the bones afterwards but a fox will just eat bon
