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:

He is in the Premiership, but in Scotland he'll stroll it. Utd had the best of him. Him and the frog Cantona, made Utd invincible in the mid nineties. Good, hard midfielders/frontman. Not like the wimps they've got today.

What a crock of shite this is!! You'll be telling us what you had for your tea next :kiss: . And what's with the name, Ferretfinder? Do you actually go and find them stinkers? :ph34r:
-
What a good do :ph34r: . That top fox looks like a feckin' fat corgi. Has anyone else noticed that there seems to be a lot of movement concerning foxes at this time of year. A keeper local to me has had four in a week, three in the snare and one with the rifle. And I found one this morning still twitching in the snare, on a spot I go on. A snare was set after this one was shot at (I think), a few nights ago and made for the bit of cover he was found in this morning. Them foxes look well Cupid.

I've got to agree with Stabs on this one (the TX), though my experience is pretty limited . When I get a gun/rifle I make sure it gets some use instead of swapping and changing models. One disappointment with the TX (mine anyway), is that some pitting has appeared on the blued barrel and considering it's only a few months old, that's a poor feckin' do . Several others have had the same problem.
-
You have PM mate.
-
You've got to have been feeding that fecker Stabs . Either that or it's a dropped fox! :ph34r:
-
I much prefer the northern gal myself, especially those young slappers in "Corrie". That "Audreys Salon" is packed with 'em. :kiss: :kiss: Hawkeye, you need to see the doctor pal.

I normally take my items of taxidermy outside and give them a bit of a dust with a light rag, and if there's a breeze, so much the better. Use a Johnson cotton bud for the eyes and any other tight place and also a used tooth brush to clean fur etc. Any major damage, take it to a taxidermist.
-
Nice pics Dillon. I've caught a few, mainly urban type and I've had chicken drumsticks, sarnies and rabbit work for me amongst other things. Everything that's been mentioned is spot on IMO. On the cat theme...make sure it's feckin' dead first! Dillon, is that trap in the top photo from the lancs area? Similar to one of mine.
-
No, I've heard that myself Fellpony. You weren't having your hernia pulled. An all mesh or wire cage might be better though.
-
I've never watched him on that Sex factor thing but I've read about his exploits in the paper. He looks like a greasy c*nt to me, his eyes are to close together, so he can have our vote...NOT. :ph34r:
-
Hmm, let's look at the evidence....Got from a tinker (Plummeresque for "When in Lichfield...")....Hunting in packs for rabbits and rats (Again Plummeresque for "I don't want to dig to my Terriers or risk them below ground and hope that by putting them through thick cover or to rats, they'll get marked up, thus making them look the business).... Good with children....Bred from a Terrier called Bramble. Is Boogiedog the great man incarnate? Or Frain? The coincidences are just to numerous. In a similar vein to Chartpolski, I used to go knocking on a neighbours door when I was a kid (the early 197

Good post Stabs. They start to look good around this time of the year, especially the dog foxes. Quite formidable looking.
-
We had a look last night and there was two there, but talk about shy ! Trying again next week. Well said Mick PMSL :11:
-
That looks similar to the one Target sports are knocking out. It's plastic so drop it once and it could be gone ! The Target Sports caller, Cass Creek I think it's called, retails for around £39.95.

And he's just bought himself a tyke pup!!! :11: .... Who the hell is going to dig the little fecker out for you Hawky in your condition ??..... Fecking hell NO!!!!!!......NO WAY!!!!!.....NEVER!!!!! :ph34r: ....YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!!!!??........ Fellman will NEVER manage it!!..... :11: . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Feckin' classic, what with his hernia an all ! Feck the diggin' fellpony, let me get you fit walking the fells first mate.

I hear Frain is a very talented artist also..... . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I see my thoughts have been vindicated by the very brief review afforded Mr Frains latest offering (via this weeks Shooting Times), that being, "Rabbiting with Dog, Gun, Hawk, Ferret, Hound, Lawnmower, Strimmer, Smoker, Toaster et al". And I quote; "It's a little utilitarian" and "a bit text book" and it's "replete with poorly focused black and white photographs" . I rest my case. Buy it at your peril!

I've the same problem Hawkeye. I'm susceptible to going over on the old ankles, and in fact did this a few months ago during work. Walking in deep heather, I went over on my left ankle and nearly collapsed in pain. It's never been the same since then. I've a pin in my right ankle which doesn't help and I need to concentrate late in the day if I'm to remain upright whilst coming off the fells. The doctor said "it'll happen all the more as I get older"....c*nt :realmad: !! Just recently found out that I've a feckin' bunion , so that's a new pair of boots as well. I might take Chillits advice to

Stabs, are they suitable for walking feckin' miles over fell and crag or just for the short jobs, walked up, mooching :ph34r: etc?
-
Anything by that Frain chap. Top gear.
