    I certainly see what people are saying here and agree but out of interest do you maintain the softly softly approach when your pup shows to much interest in stock in the hope he will just grow out of it ? There seems to be a very fine balance in that area and each dog is obviously different

    Got to agree with tc if you want big fish consistently you need big baits. You will blank a lot while your mate next to is yanking out schoolies on worm baits but I would rather sit tight for the bigger fish. My mate who is retired and addicted to bass fishing using razor in the first half of the season then for the later half switches more to mackerel though dead ones. His fish are for the most part in access of 4-5lb and he catches a fair few. Here is a 9.7lb on mackerel and couple of 5+ on razor he fishes small leads on a surf beach 1 to 3 oz depending on conditions and

    Years ago I had a dog from pup he was superb chap and I thought the world of him then I lost him to an accident one night at 2-3 years old. I thought no way can I go through all that effort and heart ache then lose another so I bought an adult and he was a cracking dog. Loyal and lovely temperament not that great during the day but I wanted a lamper and he did that well. So you can get good adults but I think good day time dogs are thin on the ground unless some one really is in the shite they are not likely to get rid

    Thats the ones Allan I work in town so nip round after work on my bicycle and at the weekends either cycle up or if there is shopping to be done or ferrying me kids around tie it in with that. They are producing well and after the initial clear up keeping them turned over as I go is not such a big job. Just need to keep constanting planning 6 months ahead so they are not sat empty I don't like that

    good thinking good money in that too What do we call good money? well going back a dam good few years it was quite easy to make 70- a day and that was a pretty short day cause I all ways went home once decent days money was earned much to my bosses disgust . But I did used to just crack on But now a days no clue what the money is but I wouldn't call it hard as long as you are used to out doors and don't mind the weather but that applies to lots jobs. Could get bit monotonous day in day out though but if moneys right We never did it full time just week here and there when we w

    Great stuff least you have the winter to get it ready though if it was me I would soon turn over a few feet and nip the garden centre for half dozen plant. Oh and sow a few broad beans

    Sounds like tree felling but we didn't stop for frost or snow as long as we could get in and out

    Well let me take a guess at this if I was going to net a hare I would be doing it on a gateway. I wouldn't worry about using rabbit size mesh but you would need enough slack net height wise to ball it up. I suspect if a hare hit a normal height rabbit net it would just cart wheel straight over it.So this net would basically be a high stop net in which case if it was high enough for the job would be a bit wasted when rabbiting Just my thoughts on it

    Cheers folks after the initial onslaught when you take these plots on and there neck deep in weeds they don't take a massive amount of work just a matter of little and often so it seems. Not a great deal to do at the moment the odd few weeds and the ground is full of winter veg. Need to get the broad beans going as they did well over wintering last year

    I have a couple of nice jills at the moment. A little white one that gets down to business and recently winkled rabbits out of some big warrens on her own. She is the type that will go any where even in the yard she will climb up or down any thing compared to my sandy jill who is not quite so confident. But last year year I saw 3 rabbits go to ground and she bolted them one at a time and turned round and went back in till all 3 were out I quite impressed by the way she went about it. Also both are no problem to pick up when working and don't mess about

    Just persist with the house training and keep carrying it out every time you catch it in the act they soon learn. As for other training just keep at little and often day in day out while young before you know it it will be 12 months old. Don't let any little habits form now that will be a right pain later for example chasing the hoover might be fun when it s a pup but do you want it hanging off the hoover for the next 14 years things like that. Once jabbed get out with stock as much as you can and more to add I am learning the ropes my self there are lots on here with dogs to a very high
