    They dont need either if not moved of your holdings [under 12 months] and thats a young pig.
  2. levigsp
    just have them removed far easier in long run.

    Quite possibly because someone keeps free range large blacks. normally you get rights to graze with your title deeds in some areas, in others to rent the grazing from the forest owners. private woodland owners often allow pigs every few years, from once every 10-15 year cycles, depending on undergrowth etc.

    yes, when arthr get hold of your bones you know about it, I never know whether to use an icepack or heat pad, so I try both and in truth neither help a lot, but you have to try. The digging gave me housemaids knee and bloody tennis elbow. I though the doctors were joking!

    I broke my back in a hunting accident and had a number of operations. the result was constant medication and ibs as a result of those meds, not good.

    So, I was thinking about this the other day whilst trying to read in daylight with a head torch on. Have any of you, especially those of you who have lived the life, ended up with physical afflictions? No I am not talking about injuries like broken bones etc, lots of us got those, I mean permanent issues, Nore am i on about obesity that most retired lurcher worker suffer from! Take myself, I have eye damage that means I can see great when its near black, I can see great in brilliant light like a lamp, but in normal daylight I have very poor eyesight, all down to the use of brigh

    Regardless of anything, there is always a rutting season?

    In this day and age I think there are very few places in the UK where more than one dog is needed. However back in the 70s, 80s, early 90s it was a different matter. I used to run two dedicated hare dogs trained to the hawk. At the same time I owned and ran anything up to ten dogs! I ran dogs on rabbits and foxes year round and from august to april 20-25 nights a month from dusk till dawn, you need multiple dogs to do that.

    Tea tree oil is highly toxic to dogs regardless of what a lot of people say.

    Brown hares were introduced in the Victorian era by wealthy landowners into Ire, they have survived and can be found in the northwest. I have a friend who owns land in Donegal and he sees them. I coursed brown hares in Cavan in the 70s, but I dont think there are any remaining there

    so when were they taken there? and by whom? Brown hares, Irish Hares are the only ones in Ireland as far as I know.
  19. levigsp
    Did any of gingers dogs catch a hare anywhere in the world, I think it was a figment of his imagination.

    Poppy cock, Irish hare is in almost everyway identical to the mountain hares of Scotland and the rest of Europe, its one of sixteen sub-species that can only be told apart by genetic tests. I have killed mountain hares in Ireland, Isle of Man, England, Scotland, Poland, Norway, Russia and I cannot see any difference and none of them are anywhere near as powerful as the Brown hare.

    So I retired a few years ago, but I am now busier than ever in other ways. I will never stop till they nail the lid down over my dead carcase. I have hunted my entire life and practiced most forms of the sport and although I see good reason to change what I hunt etc and the methods used, I dont see a valid reason to stop. I honestly believe that hunters are born and not made and if your a born hunter it stays with you no matter what, it just changes with circumsta

    For over 40 years each of my dogs has had a raw egg on most days. Sometime only quail eggs, other times hens, just depends on season.

    Yes as dogs eyes see better in daylight.
  24. levigsp
    Because the old lamps use quarts xenon or halogen, both give light similar to daylight 3000 kelvin and based in the red yellow longwave light spectrum. So our eyes are used to daylight and looking for colour differences is helped by the longwave light. Led etc are shortwave and based in blue light spectrum, poor for colour deferential. Basically regardless of the hype and what people will try to tell you, the human eye can see more detail in everyway with quarts lights.

    Here is an interesting tale about a certain seller of rabbit nets, purse and long. He advertised 12v 18amh batteries for lamping-when they're gone they're gone! £10 each. I pulled up outside the house and knocked on the back door, door opened by a little child who went of shouting "daddy ANOTHER GUFF at the door" ! I asked Bob for a battery and he fetched one out, I looked it over and stated," yes Ill have one please, Sorry i only have a twenty" now what happened next would have caused serious psychologic issues to someone else, however I've never claimed to be sane.
