  1. Yes I think food supply has something to do with it ,maybe they don’t expect a rough winter. These are oak woods I walk-in and there are huge flocks of pigeon picking up acorns regularly.
  2. The place I hunt consists of three very large and mature woods, the trees are 100ft + I regularly see 20+ squirrels whilst walking through em but very rarely get a kill. These woods feed three other woods with squirrels through a network of hedges So I have a more or less constant supply at a shoot able height once they decide to spread out. The airgun lads do a good job but I’m happy to say there are very few where I hunt.
  3. Anyone noticed the amount of young squirrels about lately ? I’ve had quite a few to the catty.. they don’t look like they would survive the winter. This time last year I think I only shot one, Most were big fat adults.
  4. Well done mate ?? I hope he’s paying ya ?
  5. She’s only 6 yrd old and shows more interest in the great outdoors than any of my three lads. She trained him to sit n lie down by herself I think it helped with him being a greedy barsteward ?
  6. A bit of training before school and a short video of the pup using his nose.
  7. No mate that’s fine.... carry on, it’s all good info.
  8. His hunting up is getting better ?? , he air scented this cock bird from the path.
  9. Can anyone point me in the right direction to buy one in the uk. Cheers.
  10. I believe in getting them out at a early age imo they learn a lot quicker and bond better with you... he’s had all sorts of birds animals in his mouth ( all dead) and hunts like a gud un, as for retrieving we tug trained him and every thing he picks up is brought to dad for a game of tug.. imo I think most dogs regardless of breed will with the right training and entering make a good catty dog. I think we may be stuck with the price of pups for the for seeable future. But I look at it as you pay the money and you’ve got your hunting partner.
  11. Sounds like a Gud un mate.In my younger years I had a little border/bedlington that was mustard on em mate
  12. Cheers Jay, the walks are getting a little bit more interesting now ?
  13. The pup has started to mark at hight now, he air scented this squirrel which I shot with the scout.

  15. Caught on security camera somewhere in Yorkshire.
  16. That’s what it’s about mate... enjoying yourself working the dog ??
  17. Buy a thermal... lamp is on a minimum amount of time then.
  18. I’m shooting a simpleshot scout lt atm and doing very well but there is a load of makers/sellers out there try Hegarty on eBay or wasp on Facebook.
