Is the sitting to scent Rich taught or reaction you read? Mine is coming on he just stares with ears up and nose twitching

I enjoy reading the posts,

This is not an argument thread im not asking for everyone to agree with me it was a simple question and any outcome would only be to encourage more use of this site like it was, ive just gone back at random to 2007 (Foxdropper you were active then) but there were many stories, on the page ive just gone to which was Dec 2007 a few reports, one on a munty, one on a roe, one on a red, all about the same time of year and fairly regularly, some good comments, it didnt have a like button then, but as i flick through there are some questions and people have replied they still do that today which is

I agree with the last posts, and its typical that even this thread has stupid digs, they seem to like personal attacks and then you reply and an argument starts, if you dont have anything to add then fine you can just read and move on, but if someone takes the time to do a write up and im as guilty as anyone but i like to at least like it. Post 6 on here;- what was the point in personal attacks on someone you know nothing about - or was that i go back and argue - is that who PK was referring to. i think admin of this site need to do more, do they read these posts, admin when you read

I rest my case,

no wasnt that post i was referring to although i do remember it, i also have met some great people on here and read some great stories, but even now just come in from shooting and scrolled down facebook see whats about, some good pics of dogs, new guns, new scopes etc. I would like to see more on here but the knob brigade seem to get here first

Since the rise of facebook groups have forums had their day? the fact you can hide behind a name on here gives people power of abuse, i know from my own experience on this site there are some idiots on here that are anti police and think poaching is ok. I recall a post i put about what law was broken and received many PMs over the fact i was going to report someone. Now yes there are as many idiots on facebook and still see stupid comments, but you can block them, they tend to be monitored a bit closer, and you have to use your name as apposed to an alias. I like a forum, you can lea

There is a part 2 to this story, was out on Friday morning just to give the dogs a run before the weekend, i had the 12g as i thought a few pigeons would be flying to keep the dogs busy and the rifle in case a fox bolted, and as i walked down the same route as i normally do and above story where it says i walked down the track and looked right and saw a doe, this time i looked left and saw the buck i had been after for a while. i thought he must have seen me or heard me as not 5 mins before i had shot at a rabbit, I say shot at, not shot. But he was laying down and munching on grass aro

Well after constant rain since Monday, and I mean constant, last night on Wednesday evening it suddenly stopped and that sun thing came out, so thought let’s have a wonder and see what’s about, I've been on the pigeons recently and seen a few Roe about so thought I would go there now the corns been cut. I arrived and walked down the track the dog was enjoying the fresh scent the rain had brought and then looking right a roe doe was enjoying the blackberries and had most of her body in the bush, I got comfy against a fence post and watched her from a range of about 120-150m she was having a gr

What are your views on the open seasons for deer, too short too long?. I only ask as fallow bucks have been in nearly a month now and ive not gone at all, ive got the land and the deer but to me until its gets cooler i dont see an urgency, and each year i finish on the doe's before the date.

It depends on what you want to do, to gain experience or pay someone £70 to be taken to a high seat, is that going to teach you anything, you are paying for a days shooting not a days lesson. Whilst they might give a pointer or 2 they don't care if you shoot or not, you could be paying to sit in a hedge that deer haven't been in for years. There are those on here and out there who pay to shoot and those who have their own land. Those who have their own land do far more than pull a trigger and that is a good half of what you need to know and a classroom is not the place to learn that but it

So I've paid for unlimited and 2 big old bucks come out as its rutting and are fighting there are only 2 of these in the area and I shoot them both is this acceptable?
-
Yes understand that but it still can't be unlimited,
-
It also has load of knobs as well, paid stalking is like playing roulette, the banker wins most of the time, there is one certain person who always advertises "unlimited" fallow stalking, how can anyone have unlimited is beyond me, but then to take people drop them off in a high seat or hedge row for 3-4 hrs go and sit in your car for the period then go and pick them up. If anyone wants to pay me £70 I have plenty of hedges they can sit in. If you want to do it properly DSC is a start, deer management is not just pulling a trigger, it's studying, checking, protecting, all things you

No but thanks. What I liked about it is the fact you enter the info and print your own label

A good terrierman will work so closely with the huntsman that most in the field wont know whats going on, if you (as a terrierman) do your job right you will do what you are there for and that's to support the huntsman, where you had the guy who worked all week and did a big of stopping on a Saturday morning and sits there until he is needed he is not the best for the job. Before most days hunting i knew where there was at least 2 holes well used and an artificial with a fox in. in my day we didnt have quads, mobile phones to make life easy we spent a lot walking, or sitting on a spade. terr

I think at one point Hunters lead the market, i used to wear them daily putting them on at 5am and taking them off late in the afternoon and had to walk miles in them, forcing 3 pairs of socks in and standing in hot water on cold days, they were as comfy as you could get, they lasted a good 2 years which at the time was good, and then they just fell apart. i bought top end hunters last year and just a got a season out of them, then i heard they are made in china now and a lot of shops have stopped stocking them as they are not as good. so im following this post closely as im on the mark

mine is when a terrier man gets to a hole and grunts at his dog saying "get in there" quite loudly walking about the holes and looking down them with a torch
