    Tagged Buzzard

    Meeks posted a topic in Falconry

    Awrite folks!just a quick question as I don't know too much about this subject. Do people tag buzzards?and if so,what do the tags look like?there are a number of buzzards around the golf course I work on and a few times now ive noticed one bird has something stuck on its right wing.it doesn't seem to bother it flying and I haven't had the chance to get a photo.but a few times ive been close enough to see it flapping around.its also a purple colour.i was telling somebody about it today and they said it was a tagged bird but I'm not so sure.anybody shed some light on this for me?cheers

    Here's mine! Turning into a decent ferreting dog for myself.isnt shy of hunting up thick cover.only started on the lamp a couple months ago and he coming along good,taking quite a few.my first dog and happy with him.only thing I would say was watch where you work it.i have some quite rough ground I have used him on and he's been knocked up 3 times since the start of October.always 100% though

    Do Problem

    Meeks replied to fay's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting

    Don't grab at it when its at the mouth of the hole.be patient and let it walk well clear of the hole and calmly pick It up.

    Managed a couple hours out today just trying again to bolt a few for the dog.(no nets)managed to shift 3.first one dog could hear it coming so jumped inbetween the two fences where he thought it was coming and low and behold it popped out the other side of the fence while he was stuck the fences,instead of jumping the fence he ran along inside it and watched the rabbit pop down another hole.put ferrer in behind it and after a little dog pulled out the dead rabbit.on to next burrow,bolted another one straight away but it ran along the inside of the hedge and down a big warren so left it there

    Is that the beginners net making kit mate?the wife getting me one for Xmas and was telling me she was having trouble finding it on eBay.would be better just ordering it from agouti.much was that?about £40?

    Only you'll know what you're looking for in the cover.i spoke to them on the phone and they'll give you different rules to suit youreself.they were really good.he's down as a whippet cos he is a whippet lol.got a feeling I'll have a few claims over the years
  17. Meeks
    There is quite a difference in cost depending on whether you take the basic insurance or the life one. With the basic one conditions are covered for one year only I believe. Mines is just a year.it was £30 for the life cover.shouldve maybe just took that.Van man there was a couple different conditions so prob will be the reason,worth it imo though

    I'm pet plan aswell.but bit more expensive than you's boys.im £19.25 a month?????he's insured to be at my work place aswell,maybe how its a bit more

    We all started at some point pal..if he gets tangled up in the net just kind of try and lift it off him or let him gently wriggle out of it,make sure he's well away from the hole,do everything nice and easy and no sudden movements that'll cause him to skulk back into the hole.if he's still young he'll still be very excitable,especially if he's just bolted a rabbit.if you handle him a lot more when at home and he should stop nipping.atb

    Not sure how much dry food you should be feeding as I've really never used it mate.but if he's in proportion he sounds ok.dont think ive ever had a hob that can slip in and out of the nets without disturbing them
  22. Meeks
    Correct mate.thats when you could count on good hard frost end of sept/ October time
  23. Meeks
    Retire him?put him on a diet
  24. Meeks
    Few frosts this week.here's hoping it stays cold and gets this cover knocked back a bit more.nothing better than ferreting on a nice crisp morning.

    I used to use old t-shirts etc found that the nest box got damp.saw dust and plenty hay during the winter.
