    Shame that people knock Jagd Terriers. I have a Jagd Terrier X Patterdale that does everything above ground; stalking, retrieving, flushing, wild fowling, blood trails... Those who haven't got the ability to train a dog correctly will just keep buying dogs and getting rid of them at will. You only ever get out what you put in...

    Or has too much choice? Just give him raw meat for a few days, if he doesn't eat it he'll soon get hungry! If i gave my dog cooked sunday roast everyday i'm pretty sure he wouldn't touch raw either!

    My jack has them paunched and skinned but with heads on and chopped in half (front and back), he seems to eat the heads first. As a treat when prepping he gets the hearts kidneys and livers :-)

    I rang the vet to ask the cost and they said £30 to see the vet and then about £30-50 for the antibiotics depending on the type. I said that I don't need to see the vet I just need the antibiotics, nope, I have to see the vet. I've got pet plan but that's good for sold all with the £90 excess!

    Have shaved it, washed it, and am now using the good'old TCP cream on it. Will keep an eye on it then thanks

    Anyone got some antibiotics I could buy for my terrier? Got a bit of a puncture wound to his back leg and want to take precautionary measures. Thanks

    So then guys, these things have just hit the market and I'm wondering if anyone has tried one. http://obtain.thermal.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=RW-AAA http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seek-Thermal-Reveal-Handheld-Flashlight/dp/B017NN0HQS/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t/277-5661252-3761119 What i'm interested in is the range of this unit and does the lack of focus make it a waste of time for vermin detection? How does it compare to the Flir ONE?

    And go careful shooting a fox with a pellet gun, it's not up to the job.

    Hi guys, What (and where) is the cheapest place to buy the ATN X-sight in the UK, either the 3x or the 5x model. My partner is also going out to the USA at the end of this month so i was going to see if she could pick one up and bring it back for me, but are there any export/import restrictions on night vision scopes etc...? Many thanks

    Surprised no1 has mentioned the nissan terrano. I hs a 2.4 petrol (thirsty) but it was very good off road. Great bit of kit for shooting. The 2.7 diesel is meant to be even better.
  11. Matthew Phillips
    Avoid the 1.8 petrol like the plague!!! My old man had one, looked after it religiously. Never off loaded it, never drove fast,...... yet it's head gasket went. The 1.8 petrol is a BAD engine. It's the same engine from the MGF 1.8 that also had loads of problems. Do yourself a favour and keep an eye out for a diesel.

    What's the barrel like and does it group tidy at 35yards? Mine has 10 shot adapter and two mags. Mine is the upgraded stock, which i'd keep along with the air reservoir (regulated). Is the breach the same regardless of 177/22? Maybe worth swapping barrels and magazines. (obviously we would both need to retune to ensure under 12ft pounds) Then we get to keep our own guns.
  13. Matthew Phillips
    Best bet is to swap the rifle with someone who wants a 22. What's the condition of yours? I have a 177 S200 and would rather a 22 for close range ratting.
  14. Matthew Phillips
    It might be better to sell it and buy one that's already fac?

    And here's the problem once again. The law is never black and white and is sometimes down to interpretation (discretion) by the officer dealing. Deerman, i bet that made you popular on Day1!!! The whole reason for this post was my dog was going ape sh!t at the back door yesterday, so i let him out. 5 minutes later he came back in and wouldn't settle down so i checked the CCTV, this is what i found. The cat got away as it fit through the iron gate, the dog needs to eat less...
  16. Matthew Phillips
    You serious? You've got to be kidding??? If the cat dies it's unlikely my dog will eat it as he has plenty of chicken and rabbit, thus i can return the cat to it's owner and have then not stolen anything? In all honesty i don't wish to deprive anyone of their beloved pet, my dog chasing the cats out of the garden will i presume make them think twice before coming back. And as tough as we all think our terriers are, the claws on a cat could do some serious damage to the eye sight of a dog.
  17. Matthew Phillips
    So then guys, probably the wrong place to ask but i was wondering if anyone out there is a lawyer? Basically im sick and tired of cats coming into my garden and taking a sh!t in my flower/vegetable patches, it's also only a matter of time before one kills one of the chickens. I understand cats have a legal right to roam in the UK and that i am not allowed to harm them or upset them if they are in my garden. But the question lies with this: Can i encourage my dog to go after cats in the garden. If after encouragement my dog catches and kills a cat have i broken the law? Obviously if

    Chaps, After a rather unsuccessful weekend with The Field Marshall and nobjerk we discussed some new methods for a farm we worked on the weekend. We had the issue where smoke didn't seem to bolt the rats and they ended up getting dug to by the dogs (or a rather huge spade). As such it was suggested we use the ferrets down the holes... I guess it's a good solution but unfortunately my dog isn't the best with ferrets, he chews on the ferrets cage and has a high drive towards them. He's a trainable terrier so i wish to try and train him that the ferrets are working with him but a

    What's wrong with the mags???? I have a 10/22 target model and 2 factory 10shot mags. They're brilliant. They've never caused me problems and the gun cloverleafs at my 60yards zero. My remington 22wmr 597 however has terrible magazines that have needed repair work to them to get them to cycle RWS bullets - see 4th post here: http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=570645

    Spaces now filled. Will post again if there's more work coming up. Thanks guys

    Hi guys, As per topic I'm looking for an extra couple of guys with dogs for ratting this Sunday as am short on terriers. (as the game season has finished this time of year is pretty packed with ratting work so my usual call ups are busy) This could lead to follow up calls and long time sporting relationships I already have a few chaps off the forum willing to lend a hand but could do with a few more. PM me with your location, number of dogs, previous experience (dogs) and telephone number. There is no promise of extra work, just a chance to get your terriers out on plenty of rats in South

    But does the freelander get 45-50mpg? And did they both have the same tyres when doing this test? And could you get a 3year old car, with leather, heated seats, air con, winter pack, for under £12,000? Apples to oranges.... and that's not the 'Escape' version of the Tiguan.
  23. Matthew Phillips
    But you only use the electric crow caller like the rest of us to bring them in to take photgraphs What he meant was; he shoots them....with his camera
  24. Matthew Phillips
    Ouch, £35 for 12 bangs??? That's mental priced. Surely there is a cheaper way than this???
  25. Matthew Phillips
    10-25kg???? That's a huge range, and a huge dog for a terrier. Looks almost identical to mine however mine is only 9.5kg and short smooth coat.
