  1. the rise in the buzzard population has had an effect on the hares here, being mainly pasture, leverets are an easy target, i once witnessed a buzzard attack a pair of hares in the corner of a field. coming in low over the hedge, it got a good kicking for its trouble but it didn't fly off after its kicking it just stood there at a distance for a minute or so,, maybe it thought they were rabbits but had either of them been very young or very old the outcome would have been different.
  2. the British M.O.D have released a memo stating that they have lost £60 billion worth of equipment ! serves the silly fookers right for painting everything camouflage

  3. just watered down cows milk with a bit of sugar added as advised by me granddad, same here bosun the old man worked at the water board and often accidentally went over them with the mower bringing the leverets home, as kids we had all sorts from owls to ducklings,our roof always had hand reared corvids sitting on it waiting to attack anyone with food
  4. i have hand reared a few over the years and you are correct when they get to a certain age the hormones make them go as wild as if they had never seen a human,
  5. i once spent a couple of hours on a hill top watching a beagle pack hunting hares, from that a high vantage point the whole hunt could be seen in a totally different light from following the pack on foot as i normally did, each hare ran a circuit using the same runs and lines crossing other runs, these intersection points sometimes split the pack and new hare was often found, this hare again would run a circuit of its own choosing, the beagles caught several hares that day. a couple were taken out of their seats in the plough and another after it clipped the bottom of a hedge and rolled injur
  6. 12oz nylon is good 9/15/9 will give you a 3` 6" net 9/17/9 will give you roughly a 4` 2" net dependent on your mesh size

    let dy come back with his options from clive and we will see what we need to do
  10. not the most sociable of birds, would probably spend more time binding to each other better off with a cast of Parabuteo unicinctus
  11. you hit the nail on the head there but obsessive prey drive can make or break a dog dependant on the owner and circumstances, an unfit highly driven dog is an accident waiting to happen, problems also occur when recovering from injuries etc., a balance needs to be struck in any breeding programme
  12. depends on the size and shape of the hole, a selection of sizes is best
  13. maybe cheaper to ask a reformed bank robber if he has a spare in his attic
  14. did hunting instinct ever harm a dog as prey drive certainly does, a dog with a very high prey drive will run till its heart burst if allowed but a dog with just a good hunting instinct will still be hunting without much fear of harming itself,
  15. there are multiple headed beasts in most countries histories and legends
  16. you have to be white to be racist, you can celebrate being every colour and creed except if your white, as being proud of that makes you a racist
  17. has to be done by a certified gunsmith and must meet certified requirements with a certificate of deactivation being issued

  20. Have you got a pilot plasterer to show you the ropes? he uses a simulator perhaps that's the answer to use a simulator if no pilot is available
