  1. Well done Jim. I would take mine but there are too many wombat holes for them to explore.
  2. My main dog Milo 4yr old stag/whip/staff is a demon on red dogs. He will sometimes roar at a fox before he nails it. Its like hes phsycing himself up to dive in. He actually yapped chasing one yesterday while chasing a bolted fox over a fence then around a tree 3-4 times.
  3. Maybe i could bribe Stabs into getting me a few back copies if i give him a couple of beers and listen to his stories.... HAHA.
  4. You must be weird hanging around a dogging site mate.
  5. I googled dogging after someone laughed about the name...HAHA
  6. Would love to take Milo over there mate. And i hope to see you again next year. I think Sam is heading back home soon aswell, will be out all day tomorrow with him and the dogs. Should be another good day. It was real good to meet you.
  7. Glad you enjoyed yourself mate, will try to get u out again. Spent the afternoon walking a new property, we saw a couple of foxes but there is just too much cover. Will get better organised and go back there.
  8. Yep organised hare coursing was banned years ago, but there are heaps of hare about. You can shoot them or dog them. I shot a couple tonight for the dogs. I think that they are a pain because i hunt foxes. They just wear your dogs out. It was not uncommon to shoot 20 hare that are pushed from a swamp with the hounds while chasing foxes. I think the only Saluki over here are show bred stuff, i may be wrong though.
  9. If you want to help me with the hunt club next Saturday CP, your welcome to come along. I know how much you like digging.
  10. It was a good day out, will talk soon CP.
  11. Yesterday it was catching 4 foxes with the dogs. We had one dog fox that was really in a hurry. A course on a day time hare is good, even tho my dogs arnt hare dogs. As stevemac says a good long chase on blue flyer is good.
  12. We had a great day out today with CP. I will let him post pictures and story. It was good to meet you mate, hope to catch up again for another hunt maybe?
  13. Great looking Russells mate. I like the white dogs.
  14. Nah Cp, we are out west of Melbourne. If you want to google map it its Wingeel, Victoria.
  15. I know Griffith and Hillston. Griffith is surrounded by orange plantations. Its also famous for the mafia. I have family up at hillston. I was out on another part of the property, its 10000acres, on Sunday. We slipped and slid around all day and got a couple of foxes, its not supposed to be too cold but it might be wet and the wind can be very lazy!! The young huntsman from the local huntclub will be out with us, he is only out from the UK until your season starts i think. Just bring your gumboots... Its real hard to get good cold and wet weather hunting gear down here, the people that
  16. Looking forward to meeting you Sunday CP. Hopefully we will get a fox to ground for you to have a dig. That tan bitch Pepa is a good dog, that dh x dog is one very good dog. The other young stag bitch is coming on nicely too. Hope to either bring out a few foxhounds from the local hunt club or a friend has a pack of mixed hounds etc that might come. There are not huge numbers of foxes this year, with the drought most of the cover and swamps were eaten out by stock. Next year should be huge as there are swamps everywhere now. We have a bit of a mouse plague aswell so there is plenty of food
  17. Heres one of my JRT workers, and a pup i bred ready for next year.
  18. Top stuff mate!! And top stuff to all the encouraging posters. As has been said, there would not be many on here that that hasn't happened too. I always look at the eyes of a fox, they are cunning buggers. Any pix of the Russells??
  19. There are a couple of good videos on utube that really helped me learn how to use it. The instructions that come with them are useless.
  20. I have a VT Ruger 204 and love it, i use it on rabbits and foxes. I find that I have it about 3/4" high at 100yrds and all i have to do is put the cross hairs on my target and its dead. These people who say it no good have no idea. If you want to shoot bigger game use a bigger rifle, after all its a varmit caliber... But i have shot plenty of feral goats with it with very effective results. I normally use factory Rem40gn but have started playing around reloading. I'm starting to try 32gn pills as the 40gns have generally too much penatration on a fox ie blow holes thru the other side.
  21. He looks a hard little bugger.. Looking forward to seeing him hunt.
  22. Lol, you can't get them over here i don't think. Unless you order it online from over there.
  23. Can someone give me or point me to a set of detailed instructions for a Deben MK3 box, i swapped a pup for one but don't really know how to use it.. Thanks
