  1. You are only gonna get what you pay for,if it was a name like Charnwood or stovax or yeoman then it will last for years and years ,regarding log size make sure it takes several 290mm logs and not a 290 log,what is the internal size,wf

    I've just googled that WFand it doesn't sound like mine has those symptoms  but thanks anyway.

    I have a lab that does that,the outcome was a bug called giardia, I hope I’m 100% wrong because you can’t get rid of it,it can be controlled with panacur but what a hassle I have with it,atb wf,

    That’s good news

  3. 3 properly placed drop boxes is your best option dig them in in there runs under fence or wall..keep door locked for 5 or so days then unlease the pin..muliple catch and ambush trap..more fieldcratt involved tho.

    spot on,but remember to watch out for the odd stoat as it will go up and down your finger like someone playing a mouth organ,and it hurts,wf

    I already have few live catch traps and have used many times them with a very good catch rate.

     

    Can I ask how you use them then?

     

    Because most posts here seem to find them rather limiting. I have used in a domestic garden with carrot as bait in/around trap - but mice seem to take them. Have used in fields with the traps set to catch rabbits as they run for home, but again limited success.

     

    Would love some top tips Torquemada

    put some wheat in them

    i was skipping through here looking at surplus stuff and the boots are pretty cheaphttp://www.ex-mod-textiles.com/shop/footwear.html

     

    not sure how they are though.

     

    i was after a shirt and pants

     

    the extreme cold weather boots are lowa and are excellent

    A lot of my mates bought, these they aren't made by Lowa and the eyelets all pulled out after a few weeks of use.
    im on my second pair after ten years and not had any problems At all they even have a vibram sole and they’re the same as my mates Lowas
  6. The main reason I was thinking of this cross the cover can be real heavy down my way and foxhounds can be very slow to draw trough it. I'd just like a tougher hunting hound. I'd want them steadier and slower than a hound that they would be easier keep up with out in open country. The main reason for having these would be for more digging for my terriers. So don't no weather to gamble and do this or get 5 or 6 slow steady hounds that are gone a bit slow for the pack

    that won't always be the case as you will have went from terrierman to huntsman,anyway go for it,atb wf

    Which part of sutherland mate?Stunning area,truly beautiful.

     

    On the coast , north of Inverness.

    Really is a stunning area , just need a job or two, :hmm: , when i get there . ( well after a couple of weeks sorting myself out).

    Used to do a lot of lamping around dornoch golspie etc,always used to get permission fairly easily,good luck with the move.

    Thanks , i'll be in Brora , 2 miles or so from Golspie . Great chip shop in golspie , the best fish supper .
    make sure he lets the fish drain of cooking oil before he serves it to you,I sometimes stayed above the chippy in Golspie the lad who owned it was called roger,it's his son who has it now,last time i was there it was a case of as soon as it's ready get it in the box and and out the door instead of letting it drain for a few minutes,up the road a bit is Helmsdale good chippy there also,tab wf
