Live in n.I so all air rifels need to be permeted was wondering if any 1 could steer me the right way I have read the bit about starting into air guns but want a idea of initial costs and running costs it will mostly be used for pests ( rabbits rats and squirels) and the odd bit of plinking thanks in advance
-
I no has happned few times I really should watch "norn irish humour" really doesn't translate to well any way n that's befor u take this typing lark into accout wouldn't want the antis getting rong end of stick
-

-

-
im jokin all my ferrets are top class and well handled plain n simple if i didnt like a feret i wouldnt have bought it or would have given it away to some one who did like it theres no reason for rating havnt done it before and honestly dont have anywhere with rat burrows between dogs and traps we have set about farm rats dont get chance to set in.
-
i didnt say that but wasnt far from thinking it
-
n cheers whats fishing like over in Scotland? might be taking trip over latter in year was wondering if it would be worth taking rod n reel tight lines
-
i no but having to get geared up again lost a lot of my fishing gear also broke my new rod before i ever got to wet the line was a lovley rod n reel think the line was to heavy but got my money back so looking out for nice wee rod n line set up getting flies when out n about no point in wasting petrol
-
cheers think ill just stick to the air riffel for them for now at least till i get a ferret im nt as found off as 5 i have at the min are reasonable rabbiters one for whatever reason doesnt like field burrows? but would hunt a hedge burrow all day and ether bolt or kill in matter of minutes might not have killed but be on its way to doing so
-
is it true jills are better than hobs for this line of work? anouther thing in his book
-
for brown trout lol
-
is there such a thing as a good type of fly to start the season (on rivers in Ireland namely the lagan/bann) also whats the best wat to tie off flies?
-
just as a result of not knowing the type of dog not knowin what a beddy was before looking it up on google sounds stupid but have been talking to several people about it and the more i hear about it the more i like it pluss over here all [NO TEXT TALK] seems to use is bloomin bull cross dont get me rong they are a nice dog but just not a fan of them
-
cheers and yea said it was similar to a vaxine only with live germs rather than dead 1s and that any wounds his rats got from rats didnt need as much/if any as result of him feeding rats compared to his friend who diddnt feed rats the book was modern ferreting .david pulmer 1977 books near twice as old as me lol so much for modern
-
You've got the main idea shame my mates lol and its always usefull to have a dog when out with ferrets and can't take gun or want to be quiet so basically advice is get any cross I want there all there as they can do the job well
-
N j.dog I no what u mean about the training, what would u suggest?
-
Bull crosses are nice dogs just annoying when they get the rabbit n start running about field with the rabbit yes its probly a mix of how they where trained / there still only young
-
Ok I suppose it does sound suspect I admit but I am genuine I have 5 ferrets all working 3 shotguns a air rifel and applying for a 17 hmr (I no the 2 contridict but sure means when the ground isn't suitable for dogs I can still do the job) I live on a farm and have several farmers looking me to reduce the level of rabbits to a sustainable level friends both have bull cross's n its for that reason I don't want 1 they are brilliant dogs execlent on rabbits and lovely animals but weather its to do with breeding or training they don't retrive come back to you after they catch a rabbit its brillia
-
yea theres a beddy whippet cross advertised i was looking at would they do anything else or would they just be a rabbit dog? could you mix the beddy x with other dogs we have a springer a cockerxlab and a mongrel collie the spingers 6 months n will hopefully b working dog other 2 are pets would you be able to keep the beddyx in same pen as springer?
-
according to my friends they are a brilliant lurcher and very hard to get over here but are very vicious as well im not sure how smart they are or how easy trained basically what i mean is for me it wouldnt make a ideal first choice as im not sure what the dogs are generally like.. n yea was thinking ether collie grey or deerhound grey but im in no rush to get a dog and think that that will give me time to find the right cross off the right person all being well
-
i no i've already asked this but want to refrase the question im looking a lurcher primarely for rabbits but if it takes foxs its a bonus (living in n.i taking foxs legal) it was sugested i got a bedlington grey cross but are these not more a fox dog if it does rabbts a bonus? as i said before bull cross outta the question as i simply dont like them any info appreciated
-
northern ireland co. down have to say wasnt really thinkin about it till you said that the ferries nt much n cousins working on wind farm in over there have to admit i like meeting owner aswell just to make sure story checks out but dont really think its a good first lurcher choice if that makes sence?
