  1. Good job you got out the way of that jj and them bits of corrugated flying around not much fun either
  2. Don't rule out around the edges of built up areas I have noticed a lot of rabbits in some of these places. Permission is a bit tricky because a lot of it is council land or railways but there is the odd farmers field here and there I am going to try get permission on. 1 rabbit is a major success for me and the buzz is the same now as twenty odd years ago. I was a right noisy ferreter as a kid if a rabbit bolted out of open hole I would start legging it after it shouting rabbit and going whoop whoop and the dogs would come belting along ( not the way to ferret i know ) Got back into it few y
  3. Some damage there jj We havent had it bad down here but I was expect my netting to have come off but still there threw some of the rooted down weed and stuff back on the plot today get a bit of goodness back in and picked few bits for dinner
  4. A good home and plenty of our doors I would say that patterdale is a lot luckier than some
  5. Try and keep tabs on where all the badger sets are on your permissions if possible and stick the dog on a lead well ahead of time just incase. As for foxes they can turn up any where but never leave home with out a spade and ideally a locator but at least spade You would feel pretty helpless if your tyke was to ground baying his head off and you had no spade and if you leave he might not be there when you get back.
  6. She will hunt off a way if she needs to mate, and I do have to be a little thoughtful as to where I take her, but she's nothing like a pure beagle, even though she is 3/4 bred. She is pretty biddable, and I can call her back for the most part if really need to. I take her into some pretty big blocks of forestry and have had her hunt something out of hearing , but when she has lost it she back tracks sharpish. I do plan on getting a gps if i do get a few more though. Sounds very handy and reassuring if she is good at finding her way back all ways a comfort that. I see the prices on gps'
  7. Do find with these types of dogs with hound in your bit limited as where you go permission wise ? due to there range and likely to end up 3 farms away if they get on a fox and also the worry of roads ? Just curious
  8. doesnt mater the last time i looked this was a free country and can go were the fcuk i want and do what the fcuk i want within the law and the last time i looked it wasnt a crime to take you and dogs for a drive in the car this is getting like a police state its a fcuking joke True you could just be going for spin to get new permission makes no sense
  9. I all ways thought my old jr had some bull in him snipey jawed he wasn't
  10. Can't give you any advice cause I am not sure whats going on me self but good luck and get few pictures all ways enjoy them
  11. Thats how I met them through the terriers they used to do the terrier work for the carmarthen hunt I was the kennel lad at the time well I used to do the skinning for the hound food. What a lovely job that was Any way I could bang on for ever you got good start with the nets give them a whirl at night too well worth a go
  12. Treorchy a chap called daz (darren powell) and mike don't know his sir name going back fair bit mind early 80's. I used to be there rabbit guide now I am so out of touch I could do with a guide my self ​Good bunch of lads lost touch when I met the wife and got different priorities. Now I am back on track
  13. Very true no good having bulging bank balance and dropping dead. Just pay the bills and do what ever you enjoy
  14. Nice few rabbits I thought it was all bare mountains up the valleys not all bare good for you I used to take a couple of lads lamping from the rhondda valley way.
  15. Nice few rabbits I thought it was all bare mountains up the valleys
  16. Pot luck with out a marking dog wish I had one. On the plus side you get so used to ferreting empty holes when one does bolt its a hell of a suprise Like said above going with a good dog gives you a much better idea of what the ferrets are up to and is great for starting young ferrets off
  17. My best ever lurcher was a lurcher x lurcher no idea what the make up was but both good working parents. I think but no expert on it good working stock with the traits you want is the key what ever it is This thread should be helpful too http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/297011-rabbiting-dogs/
  18. Yes Phil I will be getting back quicker in future my mending skills are very poor. I go out side with the best intentions and lose my rag and end up cobbling it back together. But it will come just need to bring it indoors when I have plenty of time and fire up some of tc's posts
  19. Yea nice hole looks like it got steam rolled by a beaver. His feet were well and truly bound up but another minute or two I am sure mr houdini would have been away. He ain't getting out of the plastic tub in the fridge mind
  20. Hadn't planned on going out tonight. But coming back from tesco i could see the trees blowing about so it had to be done. NE wind is perfect for the drop I had in mind. When I got on site it was quieter than expected so I sneaked into position ran out 2 x 50 and it was one of them nights where they just slid off the pins with out a niggle. A nice slow bant of the field which is quite big and I had one rabbit to show for it the first one in my home made net which is going be followed by my first repair on my home made net. My bant must have been bit too slow and it nearly chewed its way out
  21. forecast to drop tomorrow for us and pretty quiet for the week then or at least the first half
  22. Doesn't offend me in the slightest just not as blood thirsty as I used to be but I still enjoy my sport and I never could knit If you enjoy it go for it
