  1. How much does your usual supplier charge? Whole rabbits? Skinned and gutted?
  2. Most course are a bit too dangerous to run the fast type dog you need on them. Some of my ground is turf like massive putting greens and my dog puts a few away but not loads. Most of our land is really flat even when its bare soil and rabbits cant half shift on it.
  3. I'm in the middle of buying my own place at the mo and thinking of sticking a log burner in, what will I have to do? Just get the chimney checked for blockages and cleaned or does it need a flue installing or summat? We burn loads of trees on the bonfire at work so i'll be sorted for wood of all varieties.
  4. When I had my hushpower the best cartridges I used in it were Fiocchi 3" 7.5 shot which I shot allsorts with and some old paper ones that someone gave me. The standard 410 catridges that shops sell like express and gamebore rattle like marraca's and are all different weights.
  5. I would try and get stuff off mine as quick as I could if he ate it coz continuing working on a full stomach isnt good for them.
  6. I got a similar problem with mine Moll and I've been trying to stop him for 4 years. He knows when I'm even thinking of going lamping or if my mate phones me about going he starts off whineing and will do it in the car till we get there no matter how much I shout at him and threaten to kick his arse (it really winds me up) and its just one of them things I'm slowly learning to live with. Is it the bull in them?
  7. Cheers, he's not fit yet but getting there.
  8. I got asked to help a lad shift some rabbits last saturday so I went up there after work with Scooby, 2 older jills and this years hob kit. I don't think i've set as many purse nets as we did on this embankment in years since getting stop nets and longnets but it was nice to be ferreting like I used to. Some of these holes went really deep and the young hob kit didn't quite know what to make of them, he was travelling the burrow but not going deep yet but hopefully that will come. A couple of times I doubted the dogs mark until I put in my little sandy jill bred from my tiny white hob and Ivan
  9. The only thing i'd worry about them eating is rats that could possibly have eaten poison mate.
  10. Like I said originally I do like borders, mine was my first dog and he would try his paw at anything and was a really easy dog to live with its just unfortunate for the breed they became so popular with the pet and show owners which bumped the price up ridiculously. This also meant that their sensibility and working temperament isn't what they get bred for in the majority of cases just rosettes and pounds.
  11. No you prick I'm the type who only has 2 dogs and has them for life, doesn't breed pups, never have probably never will especially not for cash.
  12. Mine were on rabbit tonight as they worked bloody hard today for the ten we got and deserved it, rabbit pretty much every day now until I start knocking the odd pheasant off
  13. Ex????? You want your head feeling mate i'd never have let her out the bedroom you lucky b*****d :notworthy:
  14. None of them pats or lakeys jib then eh??? The biggest problem borders have had in recent years has been their popularity and the greedy feckers selling them for stupid money. I love borders as a breed but got forced out of keeping them because of the price and the fact that they get bred to feck for cash not work. ya full of shit mate.if you want hte dog you will pay the money for them.the last border i bought was £400 and off k.c stuff and still a good grafter so get ya money out ya tight pocket and get 1 bought instead of saying im not paying that for 1.cos i know i would. I'm f
  15. my mates nans hyperactive heeler stole and ate an eighth off him while he was house sitting and it slept for a couple of days
  16. Unless you bolted it straight to brick you'd be able to get a bar behind it through any plaster/cement. If someone is hell bent on nicking your guns they will get them however you secure your cabinet.
  17. Never mind Gawhatisfacey who is the bird in your avatar???
  18. A brace of wigeon coz I couldn't be arsed plucking them.

  20. Oh ok but can you still work jills in season? Is it not worth having both sized nets? A 4ft net will catch anywhere mate, 3ft you'll struggle to cover some holes with. Jills and hobs both come in season and can both play up work wise when their mind is on other things, i've seen a couple of people keep neutered hobs for working through the summer.
  21. I always used to put small leather collars or kitten collars on mine and leave them on in the cage weeks before I started working them so they got used to wearing one. Theres nothing more annoying than a new ferret spending half the day trying to get the collar off when it should be learning the ropes underground. My presesnt batch of ferrets i've just put the collars on the day of their first encounter with burrows and they haven't been bothered, not sure if thats because they are the wide mk3 collars and they arent as irritating to the ferrets as the old mk1s?
  22. Ive seen the vids of them skinning things alive, cooking them alive etc but that is a new disgusting low that vid. Every single one of the dirty yeller fuckers that drove over her or walked past wants lining up on the deck and a wagon driving over them slowly starting at the feet and working its way up gradually. If that were my little girl I would skin each and every one of them alive, I feel sick after watching that and i've watched some sick stuff on the net.
  23. I've used carpet before and the dog ended up with carpet burns trying to scartch itself a comfy spot to lie in so that got swiftly binned. At the moment I use clean hessian sacks as I can get them from work. When we move the lurchers going to use the couch as a bed
  24. I've been out with a dog that was this breeding I think and it was tiny but like shit off a shovel, caught and retrieved rabbits and was well behaved.
