While excersising hounds today in the fells;) , I heard it was THREE books that were due out. "Fox Control", a book about Middletons Terriers and a novel about a fox or something . I'm ordering all three, I've a wonky fridge that needs supporting. :whistle:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4...600/4595620.stm What crap . Keep hunting, keep docking. Tony Banks would turn in his grave!

Burn his body in secret then scatter his ashes on a fell top so the hounds, when passing in pursuit of their quarry, can cock a leg and piss on him, cos that what he did to thousands of hunting supporters. :realmad:

Hiya mate. Just because there are lots of holes doesn't necessarily mean there's plenty of rats. Some could be old, unused holes whereas others could be recent ones from young rats or rats that have moved into the area. Seen it many times when ferreting large warrens only to bolt three or four. Have you a dog(s) to mark for you? This will tell you which holes the rats are in or around, for they'll be moving below if they sense danger. It'll be hard work on your own mate. You'll need eyes in the back of your head. Get that smoker smoking! Sometimes it's better to dig them out if you get a defin

Not to hand, but if I bump into him I'll try and make sure I've got my camera with me.

There's a guy near to me that breeds those type. Nice little things. He vets EVERY home that he sells to and insists that it's a working home. The guy is from Germany and his stock have originally come from over there. I see him sometimes walking them and it's a right sight, littleTeckels all over the place. They have noses that will struggle to be beaten, if you don't train 'em right, when they pick up a line you can say goodbye to your dog! Small in size but with the heart of a lion.

Barraboy, you're spot on mate. The press ALWAYS distort the truth to appease the masses, if they think that's what will please them :realmad: . Shower of c*nts! :realmad: KEEP HUNTING AND POSTING.

I've not seen one since I was a kid. And then I got a crack off my brother for running in to tell him I'd seen a flock of them :realmad: . He thought I was telling lies. Lovely birds aren't they.

Nice C6 there Lamps. :ph34r: Accipiter Nisus.

What is it with Coventry? :ph34r:

Tawnys are starting to call now and are getting territorial. They're early nesters once we get into the new year, late feb/march time. There's a couple over the road from me every night screeching away. Seen a couple of Short eared owls recently too . I heard a pair of Robins tonight at 8.30 singing away!

Tut Tut! :ph34r:

I'll agree with Baldie about the Pennine bunch but will also say that every area will have its own "team" of rescuers ready to drop everything and be there. People you can rely on. We all know who they are and we would do the same for them. It's always nice to get a dog out alive, but when you don't, it's not just the owners who feel it, but the lads involved in the failed rescue. I lost a terrier last year to ground and I was there for three days digging and probing in a sugar bowl of a sandy spot. It was on works land and having been missing from work for three days, the gaffer came to have

What's two foot tall and stands at the bottom of a childs bed? Gary Glitters boots. What's the difference between Gary Glitter and a Greyhound? The Greyhound always waits until it can see the hair (sic). A name for a slovakian prostitute? Slobitdownyachin yabitch! :sick:

Yeah, I heard it. The topic of discussion was "What is the most flouted law in the country? Not wearing seatbelts, dropping litter, using the phone whilst driving etc etc were all mentioned, then this guy comes on :realmad: raging about a fox being killed, LIVE ON RADIO 2. "I'll tell you the most flouted law, it's the so-called foxhunting ban. I've just seen a fox being ripped to shreads on our land". And described exactly as Taffy says. They moved on then to dogs shitting in parks! Who gives a feck? :11: I think he mentioned the south east of the country. It was on the Jeremy Vine show.

Both Terriers returned today to the owner.

Two Lakeland Terriers were stolen from off a building site on Monday in the Ripponden area in West Yorkshire :realmad: . One is a rough red bitch and the other a very dark red 9 month old dog. Two lads were seen taking the Terriers and getting into a white Vauxhall combo van at dinnertime. The lads were wearing Hi viz vests, so they could be involved in the building trade. They were in a shop nearby earlier in the day and the shopowner said they sounded like local lads. Keep your mincers peeled please . PM me if you have any info.

Have you heard any vixens calling yet???? I was out on thursday evening and as soon as we got out of the vehicle we could hear a fox barking. As it turned out, it could have been a dog fox because one came to nosey at a squeak and paid the ultimate price! On the way back to the van, we saw another two about 20 yds apart but well out of range. :search: There's been a couple barking opposite the house this week along a train line. :ph34r:

As a much as he was a genius on the pitch, it's kind of weird that his last heartbeat should ring in the new 24 hour licensing laws. :sick:
-
He was from my era was Bestie, and as a footballer, there was no one to touch him . As a member of the human race...he was a waster who took his life for granted. He thought he was invincible! and he's finding out now that he's not.
-
You'd certainly think so Madhunter, but those smallish vixens can give it out just as much as, if not more than, the bigger foxes.
-
Steve, I don't know the reason but the last few I've seen dug to and hunted up recently have been really big beasts, even the vixens are showing well. What's the reason...the good summer providing plenty of food? Less foxes so more to go round? (though I've seen six killed this past week, albeit in different areas :ph34r: ). The local keeper has had five in the past two weeks and ALL were in great nick with good coats and weighed a decent weight. A local guy to me was featured in Countrymaids Weekly a few years ago with a thirty pounder.

Must be a terrible infliction to have, s s s sstuttering. I can recall a guy on that TV programme "Call my Bluff" from the early 1980s, Patrick Campbell I think he was called. Feck he had it bad! (Or did he have a stammer?). I also work with a ranger who nearly nuts you, such is his struggle and frustration to get his words out! :realmad:
