  1. Donkey culls of feral donkeys,they also shoot horse,camel,dog,cat,the pig situation is texas is necessary,they have an estimated 2,000,000 pigs,thats a lot of pork,some farmers have been on the brink of bankruptcy so they do aerial pig culls,the same as the kiwi used to do with red deer,and some americans do with coyote etc. yes I can imagine its all a different scale over there. Just hard to picture such amounts when you struggle to go for a walk and spot 3 rabbits
  2. I saw a post on one of the aussie forums some fella was out shooting on an enormous farm/ranch where the guy want every thing killed apart from his cattle. The guy was blasting horses donkeys that just stood there and any thing else all for sport on his part. He used boxes of ammo and just left it where it all dropped. Pest control for the land owner on a large scale I guess. But I couldn't stomach that

    7 Month Ban

    constantly tightening the thumb screws
  4. as in device jok like a laptop or ipad or what ever. Then what are you taking the pics with then where are yu uploading them too like flickr or photobucket. Nothings straightforward lol. You could do with some sitting with you for ten minutes make sense then
  5. I have yet to grow a decent cucumber plant. At most I think I got 2 one year Planted out some runners today and I have some sown direct better start washing some jam jars
  6. What I will say is give them a chance tough buggers. My old hob has been iffy for a while the vet didn't really have an idea with out running loads of tests which is fair enough. For a few days he was at deaths door. Couldn't move not drinking or eating. I was on the verge of putting him down rather than let him suffer but thankfully I didnt. But with some molly coddling now all of a sudden he is flying around like his 6 months old. Might get few more years out of yet which is great. His a pet more than any thing the silly sod
  7. look great so how did you cook the meat ?
  8. still loads to be doing if your inclined http://www.realseeds.co.uk/Monthlysowing.html
  9. Yes bolted a couple and dug a couple. The jr would never enter a rabbit hole just mark it but if he did it was a fox. Never lost a ferret though as they tend to exit sharpish but I am sure it can happen especially if it goes to bolt and there is a ferret in its path
  10. Get some spuds in asap. These were planted in mid may when I first got my plot. they didn't do brilliant but I got a harvest and for some reason I planted main crop when in hind site I should have stuffed some first early in which theoretical can be ready in 12 weeks and will take off in this warm weather. Just a case of beating the blight with us
  11. like every thing on here personal preference them poor sods in china dodging that festival now they got worries
  12. We had 4 or 5 builders walk in the back yard the other day to do our roof and they weren't coming through the gate until the wife said it was ok But once he new all was well he enjoyed there fuss and they seemed to know his cross and had a chat about him not some thing I encourage though and would rather he just lay down and shut up lol and the lurchers bloody useless
  13. Stick with them I say. They are all owed a chance. I remember saying to the wife when i got my pup if his rubbish his going. I was only kidding mind and I won't repeat her reply One thing this dog has taught me you don't get the finished article in a year, 2 or even 3. Its on going slowly improving things and tweaking and repairing any cock ups made along the way But I don't require super mutt. Just after a couple of hours sport and enjoy my self
  14. I don't see why. I do find that under the netting you get a little micro climate so maybe black would catch a bit more heat. Doubt we are talking any thing to major one way or the other though
  15. no matter what hunting you do there is all ways going to be suffering of some sort. But we all aim to keep it to the bare minimum. But things do happen and it would be a lie to say other wise
  16. It's alright Terry I hear the Rhubarb thieves are in "custardy"
  17. Well I decided today next time I sow carrots don't do rows a foot apart in drills but maybe up on ridges or singles rows. Because when the weeds take off in the middle you can't hoe for fear of burying the carrots popping through. Made some room in the green and took some squash up the plot. in other news some one has been going around stealing rhubarb the scoundrels I think the chairman has started interrogations and its only a matter of time before some one crumbles
  18. Watching them work the deer dogs over in new zealand is poetry in motion would love it. Watching the dog work like that.
  19. lol we used to take the donkey around in the vw camper. Great days lol
  20. Ours are fine 12 months on disk over 7 years on tape that's the way it is amazing how lax people get over backups and just assume all is well. The government lady just on the news wouldn't commit and say yes they have backups. Going to be some stressed IT guys running about this weekend. Even with backups going to be a big job checking machines and restoring
