  5. Nobody on the tops Giro,a few walking the paths around the Loch with all the gear on lol,we came down what we thought was the path but ultimately it was part of a sheep trod lol,was over 3000ft up and fcuking scary at times haha,a mountain hare passed us he was heading up as we were scrambling down lmao,he just sat and watched (laughing) i guess haha..snow was a good few feet deep in places,not exactly easy walking ..Latrigg well you get the "wanabee" brigade congregation there all year round but never seen them in flip flops lmao Went up skiddaw in December and turned back nearly at top of li

  11. Used to get it from the chemist, tell them what you want it for, and they will give you the right concentration, antiseptic wound powder might be a better thing to use though, it's good for drying up, and putting a scab on
  12. There is plenty of habitat with game strips, deciduous woodland, plantations etc, on the land where I am hoping to restock, the place was alive with hares until the lamping become such a big thing, too easy to exploit hares on the lamp
  13. As long as she is stock steady, and has a decent recall, just get out as much as you can , and let her use her own instincts, she'll teach you more than you'll teach her
  14. This last season I did'nt see anything other than healthy rabbits, though the 2 previous seasons were the complete opposite with rabbits riddled with myxy here in the north east, buzzards were attracted to areas where they were rarely seen, with easy pickings of rabbit carcasses lying all over the place
  15. The dvd lad was'nt there last time I went, but it's a nice area for walking if you like that sort of thing
  16. It'll be nice to put some life back on the land after taking atleast my fair share in my younger days, it's hard to believe the land that first started my fascination with hares over 20 years ago is devoid of hares these days, the grey partridge, and lapwing are also noticeable by their absence
  17. How many bottles you had this fine afternoon Dave ?, I plan on doing some restocking of hares sometime soon
  18. That is a good question.A lot depends on your quarry and how you fly it. For example if flying a Harris Hawk at rabbits off the fist, it generally needs to be fitter than if you are flying it from trees. The height from the tree gives the waiting hawk a bit of an advantage. Therefore the hawk flown from the fist would need to be a bit fitter so needs to be exercised more. If flying it at harder to catch quarry eg gamebirds, it will generally need to be fairly fit. An unfit hawk will quickly learn it can't catch them and will give up easily. If the hawk is fit and CONFIDENT it will give you
  19. Fuji owns both, and looks like a kennel lad/dog walker for the dog pound, the crafty sod lol
  20. What about merlin and eve. Lol Here to stay, along with Fred and eve, when the cunning hare has lifted, watch their light foot touch the sod, living the dream with the K9 hurricanes
  21. Bit of a delay with pics, but these were my first attempts at pie making
  22. Few pics from a couple of weeks ago Old Stud lol
  23. Journalists have to come up with articles to pay their mortgages, buy their flash cars, pay for the holidays in the sun etc, and the police and courts like to make easy money, who are the real criminals ?
