sound advice above, just to add i ferret twice a week from august to march and my land consists of a livery stables, a farm owned for a ladies horses , a goat farm, a large garden on a country house, and a small sheep farm (although he no longer owns any sheep and just rents the grazing) and a couple of fields around a builders yard (i also have shooting rights on 3 of those above) my ferreting partner has permission on an allotment area and a private school grounds....as you can see i dont spend long on farms or with farmers but have lots of land to keep me going, and my average catch

Dont get a show bred daschund....you might as well get a dalmation Get a Teckel (thats the original continental name- it was badly translated to daschund by victorian dog breeders) working bred, they are used for tracking wounded game (deers etc..) used in small packs on rabbits and also used underground like terriers, i know in parts of france they are used to drive wild boar out i have a teckel x border terrier, (all she got from the border was slightly longer legs) she works cover, is used when i go shooting and ferreting and has gone to ground (not that i wanted her to when she did

i only started pigeon decoying this year, the wife bought me 12 shells and 4 full bodied for my birthday, it is worth doing and before the shells arrived i was having success with just the 4 full bodied decoys, best day so far was 7 pigeons, 3 crows and 4 jackdaws and i was only out a morning.....like anything its practice that makes perfect, i have half an idea now regarding where to put teh decoys and flightlines etc...but its good to do when i cant go ferreting during the spring/summer

Hemp works well......but....requires care and attention Thats why i use heavy duty nylon i have had the pegs go mouldy and break due to damp but the nets are still in good nick, that wouldn't happen with hemp the nets would go before the pegs, i do need to empty my net bags and let the nets hang out next close season However if you take care of them i have heard of people having years of use out of them, personally though 10z nylon

lol Reminds me of an old fella i used to go hunting hares with (wasn't really coursing as he wanted them dead) i said "how much law shall we give them?" his reply "about a foot" I said they work out beyond 30yards but to be honest i apply the same principle and tend to use them at about 20 yards,

wisdom needed for hunting the fox
COMPO replied to stevoman's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
If foxes are a problem, they are usually preying on someones chickens or pet rabbits etc... lay in hiding in between where you reckon they live/hide and where the food supply is, and shoot them on the way to the chickens at either dusk or dawn -
Hull cartridge do a 2 3/4inch cart 42gm of BB's, they work well out to beyond 30yards

my hob ferret developed very similar last year and the vet charged me £79 to drain it to see him twice and for 2 weeks of antibiotics i know that was cheap. However the abcess has since filled up several times, i am diabetic and use very fine lancets for testing my blood sugar, they are small very sharp sterile pins, whenever his abcess fills up now i pop it and squeeze it empty. Do you know anyone local who is also diabetic, or ask to buy some lancets for blood testing at the chemist, you screw the plastic head off the lancet revealing a needle/PIN , pop the abcess and then put t

this is why im teaching my kids to be more disaplined as well as shoot and fight, the socity their going into will be a battle ground if nothing is done to change things lee Hang on soldier, I was just having a whinge, I don't want to up sticks and move the family to Montana to live in a bunker this reply made me laugh Empty the truck and leave the glove box open so they can see there is nothing worth taking, then they wont smash the window to look, a tidy car with nothing on show is less likely to get screwed than one with obvious stuff on display failing that w

Hi all You might wish to sign up to this one, Britain needs all the help it can get to present itself to the rest of the world. The world-famous Red Arrows have been banned from appearing at the 2012 London Olympics because they are deemed "too British". Organisers of the event say that the Arrows military background might be "offensive" to other countries taking part in the Games. The display team have performed at more than 4000 events worldwide, but the Department of Culture, Media and Sport have deemed the display team "too militaristically British". Red Arrows pilots were sai
