  1. not wanting kennels full of breed specific dogs i use my lurchers for everything including retriving shot game, even in water, in the pigeon hide and rough shooting i expect them to bush and retrieve. i admit they havent the style of a spaniel or a lab but the do the job to the standard i require and forefill all that a lurcher should do aswell. they cost nowhere near a gundog to buy and in most cases are easier to train and tend to have a longer working life. i have no inclination to field trial or pay to shoot driven game so in short why would i want a one track pony of a gundog?
  2. old flash is 10 now still catches on the lamp but suffers next day if you slip him too many times, hes a crafty old git in the day knows just were to position himself to just nip in at the end of a course to snaffle up the prize, he still retrieves anything shot and is as good at the end of a dig as he ever was. hes bull grey x colliegrey/beddy/whippit/grey. will try to find a picture to put up
  3. thl the only things that change are the names everything else stays the same
  4. i just put fac air rifle had no problems with it
  5. are you going to give us a clue or is it a guessing game have you got a book called a hawk for the bush? or a falcon for the field?
  6. if theres a fox in it then yes if not its just a hole
  7. if my memory serves me right your sister already had after the last time you tried to sell it on here. only last week you pmd me for the lads number who bred it so you could take it over and show him.
  8. dont how sooty sam ran but i had a blue bitch he sired back in1994 mistral (fast lady of meliden) she took hare and rabbits well. she was an exellent ferreting dog, the only dog ive owned that would crown a laid up ferret. she also went in on the odd fox. all in all a very game little bitch.
  9. traditionally long nets have always been made in square mesh not diamond mesh as are purse nets. as i said earlier make one a stop net or something smaller for a start,
  10. longnets made in square mesh hang naturally and makes a good top and bottom for the lines to go through, knock one up and see the difference for youeself just start with 2 loops then keep increasing untill you get the hight you want then increase 1 and decrease 1 alternatively untill you get the length you want then decrease down to 1 loop Paulus ay chance you could put any pictures up Please Y.I.S Leeview have a look on this site www.knotsindeed.com/learn/

  12. This is kind of true, but I've always thought that less than a fag paper separation means the barrel is likely to come into contact with the stock during the firing cycle, so it's not truly free floating. Neil, if the fag paper catches it means the gap is a little on the thin side. What's the stock on that rifle? If it's wood, I'd get some fine sand paper and a piece of wooden dowel slightly thinner than the barrel, and gently ease the channel where the paper catches (you'll need to take the action out of the stock to do it) until you can smoothly pass a fag paper all the way down to
  13. if the paper goes all the way down even if it catches its free floating if if wont its not
  14. best to cut in feb the sap level will be at its lowest so will dry quicker
  15. get in contact with steve109 one of the best he will tell you whot you want to know.
  16. the basics are simple the rest is just practice. dont forget that purse nets are made in diamond mesh and long nets are made in square mesh.
  17. if your going to make a 6 foot net in 3 inch mesh start with 12 go up to 24 then back to 12
  18. barovox box and bellman and flint collar 90 yard search range very fast location. look on the underground terrier website
  19. same here shredded wax paper from the track. before this became available used shredded jay cloth again from the track.
  20. i use shredded waxed paper off the greyhound lads keeps then warm and does not turn to mush when the dogs come back wet.. if your worried put a heat lamp in there with them.
  21. ive got 2 bull xs father and son always been together and my patt bitch all kenneled together (when not in season) never had a problem.Â
  22. paulus

    fox tail

    try looking in the taxidermy section
  23. think mr hawkins might disagree. yes some with natural ability will learn quicker but in the end theres no subsitute for getting them out there, most get brushed off without even being tried properly, kept locked up for weeks then expected to be a world beater on the one day someone decides to take them out. Then binned off further down the low life chain as being a jacker or what ever the new inword is. give them a proper chance then if they dont make the grade pts. if this was done by all we wouldnt be having this chat and the terrier world wouldnt be full of shit.
  24. can believe it i do the pest control on a muslim faith boarding school i know for a fact if the police need to talk to one of the kids they have to make an appointment first they carnt just turn up.
