  1. Catching more and more of this in the News mind http://www.westerndailypress.co.uk/Hunt-ban-repeal-likely-soon-long-Scots-don-t/story-26512599-detail/story.html Hunting ban repeal almost certain Hunt ban repeal 'likely soon' - as long as the Scots don't get involved By TristanCork | Posted: May 15, 2015 Devon and Somerset Staghounds Comments (3)The ban on hunting looks almost certain to be repealed – as long as the new army of Scottish National Party MPs keep their promise not to vote on English laws. But repealing the ban on hunting could be the first issue to spark the

      We caught nothing lol. The pup wasn't quite on the job that day and the rabbits were ALL sat right next to the flipping hedges. Still out till 3am and had a couple of runs worth getting excited about. I loved it!

  4. What Im worried about is Remembrance day is coming up in a couple of weeks =(

      yep can tell its raining lol

  9. Budgets are to blame, though safety needs to remain PARAMOUNT so in my opinion the school is still to blame here. No chance they didn't know about the danger waaay before anything happened. I don't understand how something like this can be allowed to happen, yet kids can barely do anything now without health and safety finding a way to stop any freedom or fun.
  10. First whiff of wild garlic in the air, looking forward to my pheasant breast and smoked cheese bacon wraps!

  11. Well as a country lass if I was in the area I'd be inclined to go show my support and let them know there are people other than antis out there who support the traditional butchers. As I said, Im lucky my butcher here still hangs games, and knowing the sort of gentleman he is, I'd absolutely die laughing if I could watch somebody tell him to take it down! As for the women on about the pigs seeing pigs.... Its this very form on anthropomorphism that actually is damaging to animal welfare. Like the veggie that fed her cat fking vegetables till it nearly died. THATS cruel. I am pro animal wel
  12. Just glad the butcher in the Forest I use still has rabbits and pheasants up outside ad in the window. I would LOVE to see somebody tell him to take it down.
  13. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2566242/The-market-butcher-forced-stop-displaying-meat-game-townies-object.html Market butcher forced to stop displaying meat and game because 'townies' object: Family firm targeted with anonymous hate mail because of carcasses hanging in the window JBS Family Butchers spent hours each week perfecting window displays But it has been hit with anonymous hate mail and people hurling abuse Unplucked birds and pig or deer heads were hung up in the shopfront Assistant manager of butcher's in Suffolk says staff have been stunned Not sure if its
  14. We have 5 chickens, and one gecko... Still trying to get her to retrieve and walk to heel....its taking some time but I'm sure I'll be coursing moths in no time. Unless you count the flock of mallard and moorhens we have on the lake.
  15. You sure thats a gamekeeper? .... Doesnt look like one? ... Nope not sure to be honest, Dad got it off ebay and it has a weird signature on it said he thought it was a gamekeeper. I love it though, slightly smaller than my others for a more feminine hand!
  16. Have you thought about contacting your local gamekeepers etc or joining the National Association of beaters?
  17. WOW vets do charge a bomb don't they!! Hope she comes around okay for you.
  18. Was a Husky-type I believe from the reports. They made a point of saying "not a banned breed" When will people realise its not the breed you need to be concerned about, ANY dog has the ability to bite/maim/kill potentially. That poor child =(
  19. I think stuff has changed within society. Kids are far more technological now. When I was at school you'd get gripe for not having the cool trainers or clothes, but now if you don't have an ipad ipod and iphone you get gripe. Thats a lot of money on the parents! So families have altered slightly too, both/parent/guardians are often at work longer, with the kids in either nursery or a club. As costs of living are higher now. This has lead to the dynamics of family changing, and with a higher population comes more risk, I must admit as I kid I'd run round and abandoned fort with my friends jump
  20. =( Beautiful blue colour she has! Very sorry for your loss, If I was due to go I'd love to go doing what I loved.
  21. Heres my little toy. I have a few normal style catty's too but I seem to aim better with a side shooter. This is a gamekeeper my dad gifted me a number of years ago, plus a homemade furry catty pouch. Just need some tanned rabbit or squirrel skins to make a better one!
  22. You bloody beat me to it! Just came back from London and the sheer amount of expensive shiney 4X4's that have never so much as seen a splat of mud.. Mind you, I've seen some of them round here pulling life threatening jerks onto the opposite side of the road just to avoid a tiny crack in the road or half inch puddle. My flipping crapmobile punto has done more off roading.
