  1. Posts like this are what the forum is about and this is what we need. No rubbish talked apart from this post and all on track. I can't really do any hunting posts this season much as I have an old dog and a pup but hopefully next season
  2. Under the circumstances I dont think zapping it is a good idea. Do what ever you have to avoid passing dogs close and start working at a distance. A correction on the lead may be in order though to let her know its not on. Good luck not easy some times
  3. Is it when your walking the dog or when the dog is kenneled or is the dog lose in the yard ? The more you rehearse it the worse it will get so change some thing straight away to stop it while you decide what your doing
  4. Yep thats part of cunning plan once I can hit some thing with the dam thing lol Oh you mean the duck no 12 gauge this morning lol. Dog wasn't involved but getting her used to them
  5. Yep rabbit numbers are well down but it surprising how much sport you can get out of one rabbit. One rabbit makes me a happy bunny lol. The new pup is hopefully just going to be mooching companion though as you need to be versatile now a days to get any sort of sport. The country side is filling up and fast in my area nearly every bit of woodland that used to give a bit of cover for the hunting man to do his thing now has a bloody tent or a caravan on it. Houses going up all over the shop. Its getting difficult for sure
  6. Any one recommend some ? Undecided between the green ones from farmers coop the farmers wear or a pair of army surplus gortex. I have a pair of army ones off a chap in the TA pretty old and complete waste of time but I guess things have improved
  7. Its all very sad makes you realise how lucky you are if your in good health. On another note I had the flue a few weeks ago and it absolutely floored me fever freezing sweating. Keeling over when ever I stood up. I thought to my self how do the homeless survive it must be absolute torture sleeping under cardboard if your really ill. Poor sods again make you realise how lucky you are are. Only takes one wrong turn in life or one disaster and your up the creek
  8. Just got to cover a lot of ground maybe try known earths that can hold. I all ways favoured bracken banks. Hazel type woods along the top edge or along the bottom. Used to do quite well and find a fair bit. I don't dig now a days but there are more foxes about than there used to be. I would imagine it would be easier to find foxes now a days but over here in sunny wales its not my thing any more
  9. Tomo you need a whistle lol
  10. She flushed a pheasant and a woodcock yesterday. First sign of her hunting really. Was well chuffed. The pheasant had sheep netting between us and I could see it sitting tight. If we had been other side she would had a chance seeing as she seems to wear jet boots. Or if I could figured out which of my fifty pockets my catapult was in ? seems very bird orientated which suites me perfectly
  11. Yea I know. I kept giving the benefit of the doubt but one day when he was about six it became clear. Wife wouldn’t let me put him down. Working wise heart of a lion though counts for nothing now. One eye and cancer so his days won’t be long. Oddly I will miss him got some great memories of his catches. The lesson I learnt is if you socialise a dog only do it with tidy dogs or not at all. Saying that I do think he has screw lose lol
  12. Not this one mate if he came across any dog male bitch or pup out about it would be toast his never off lead now in case. Can spend his final days pottering around house and bit ferreting on a line. The pup is breath of fresh air and so nice not to have to worry what’s around corner. I handled him wrong as pup he got nailed few times. I learnt a lesson there
  13. Very sad that but a good age and a good life so a lucky dog
  14. Sign of the times theres no escaping in ten years most hunting will be conducted underground literally lol
  15. Yes Flacko very well bred too. I had been waiting for a pup for some time off my mate. But was hoping the old dog would have been gone before she arrived. But it didnt work out like that as his still here. His not good with other dogs which is an understatement but in fairness his not displayed the slightest bit of aggression to her thankfully
  16. About 6 months now and going well. Real sweet nature to her and pretty soft. That said she thinks nothing of going under a gate through a stream of freezing water on her belly. Recall is great nice remote sit. Retreiving going well and thinks nothing of a memory. She is pretty playful and likes to have a romp around with it first though. Fine with sheep and ferrets and even cats. Nimble thing with legs like springs and loves jumping on stuff including me the bugger lol. So yea roll on next season and hope she does the business Scooby doo audition
  17. Many years ago in the forestry one of my jobs was pointing fence posts on a pto driven saw bench. So every post you would have four cut offs by the side of the blade that you had to grab and throw behind. There was mountains of the stuff in various sizes upto gatepost. We mostly pushed it over the edge of the tracks to rot but did burn some at home. But sparky as hell and tarred up chimney
