  1. Always liked joey mackerel flapper on a 6/0 pennel off the beach.Large mackerel flapper trolled from a boat
  2. thank you,as the first outing of the season,and indeed the young ladies first outing,you would be hard pressed to discover who is the most pleased.thanks again
  3. I truly believe a small meal before taking them helps prevent lay ups (too big a meal and they will just want to sleep).A small meal will not suppress their instinct to hunt.but it is important to give them good food and none better than their natural prey,rabbit. I have had 2 good liners in my life ( the line having knots tied every foot and mark every five feet in a different colour i.e red,white and blue or any combinations you can remember),one was a ferret the other a polecat.(not that i think it makes any difference as long as they are hobs) who you play with regularly and bond with.wit
  4. Went for a morning stroll with a young lady who seems to have lost something are they there,no are they there,no oh,there they are. a nice morning stroll with a nice young lady.Who looks very pleased with herself.
  5. Yes,it is all lessons learned,like life,hunting is a long learning curve,which if studied turns in to a "way of life"
  6. hello,good afternoon and welcome
  7. iI must confess that when i first saw them a smile did cross my lips,but i was not to impressed with the blue flashing light.
  8. I CAN QUITE ASSURE YOU I WANT NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THEM.I would suggest they are the reason attention gets drawn to more cautious folk out enjoying the night
  9. you are so right no consideration for others and more importantly, the countryside we share
  10. if they had permission why were the police called? i suspect from the near by cottages because of the drunken racket they were making,and more to the point why do i need permission to look over a gate at the countryside at night with NV.
  11. hello,perhaps you are thinking of this one Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus emerged in China in 1984, and has killed hundreds of millions of wild rabbits in Australia and Europe. In the UK there appears to be an endemic non–pathogenic strain, with high levels of seroprevalence being recorded, in the absence of associated mortality. Using a seasonal, age–structured model we examine the hypothesis that differences in rabbit population demography differentially affect the basic reproductive rates (R0) of the pathogenic and non–pathogenic strains, leading to each dominating in some population
  12. i asked because before the tumors show they often get lethargic and disorientated.And there are quite a few strains of the virus The overall pattern and consequences of myxomatosis in wild rabbit populations were studied at three farmland sites in lowland southern England and upland central Wales between 1971 and 1978. When results from all years were combined, the disease showed a clear two-peaked annual cycle, with a main autumn peak between August and January, and a subsidiary spring peak during February to April. Rabbit fleas, the main vectors of myxomatosis in Britain, were present o
  13. I took a stroll in daylight past where i saw the three men with torches and a gun,there is freshly broken hedge,where i assume they gained entry and a scattering of beer cans.this sort of behaviour can only be bad for hunting at all levels.
  14. http://www.telegraph...their-duty.html LUDICROUS is what it is
  15. amazing,how lifelike,you are very skilled.
  16. well done certainly a night to remember.i hope the injured dog recovers
  17. Last night i took a stroll,the furthest i have been yet, to apiece of land that looked promising only to discover three men who i heard before i saw them,slightly the worse for drink i believe,they were walking the plough shining torches this way and that,taking the occasional shot (sounded like a .410 ) and generally making a racket,so not wishing to be mistaken for some form of quarry i withdrew and carried on strolling across an adjacent field,as i reached the far hedge i heard the sound of a vehicle stop where i had just come from and the night took on a blue flashing hue.As to the end res
  18. hello,good morning and welcome,what breed of dog do you have?

    How I Hunt

    That is the way the hunting technique and hunter evolve and has been since the first man threw a stone at his quarry
  20. hello,good afternoon and welcome
  21. if at first you don't succeed try,try again and just remember what you have learned i.e their feeding habits,we have all been there,this learning process develops our field craft and thus makes it simpler
