  1. If you get a bridge you will only want a Dslr soon enough. Get something like a nikon D3200 or something. it has a 24.4megapixel sensor and can record video in full HD too. You can pick them up for just over £200 with a lens combo I think. You can either use it like you would just taking snap shots or really start getting into it and get some awesome photos.

  2. Dogs fight yes....this wasn't a fight though was it. Could have just as easily turned on my old dear. it also could have been any other breed, I'm not stigmatising bull breeds at all, i love them.

     

    Dogs healing fine...back to her usual self, just with a lot of holes in her back and legs.

  3. Went out today for the first time this season on the shoot and on the way to the intended spot, we decided to pull up and walk to the earth and check a spot in the hedge we have driven past time and time again but never checked as it always looks as dead as a dodo. Anywho, i put my bitch in and commented to my brother that it smelt foxy. a moment or two past, my bitch come back out the same hole, ran along the top of the hedge with her nose down like a little hound and dropped straight into another hole 20yrds up the hedge. Could hear her making her way back towards the hole she entered in. She doesnt make a sound unless she is up to her quarry so just heard bumping and moving around. I had gone to the other hole she ran to which was filed with leaves, just like the other holes. My brother was stood in the field when he heard rustling, he called SHES OUT...but the realised it was a cracking small vixen belly crawling out the hole my bitch first entered and away she ran down the back and through the woods....shortly followed by my bitch squeezing her way out. She went back in but nobody else was in.

     

    So today we learnt, if you smell fox, or even have the slightest suspicion something is home....NET THE HOLES UP! The annoying thing is that i always carry a dozen or so nets in my bag and should have threw some around when i heard her making her way back through the earth!

     

    Never mind, she will be around to catch up with over the next few months!

  4. Where i did its all flinty stone, hardly any soil. The shallowest digs take longer than they should and forever cutting your knuckles and slicing your arms. Dogs get rubbed raw as well

     

    Ive not dug in clay to a dog, but ive been banging fence posts in all summer into clay ground and i may as well have been doing it into concrete. I dug 6 x 4ft post holes the other day and it aint any easier when its wet. Sticks like shit and very hard work.

  5. I hardly ever spar with a head guard on. I find that they block my field of view and if it aint on tight enough a good hook will shift the poxy thing across your face. Ive seen contests where the ref is constantly stopping the fight for a corner to adjust the bloody thing.

     

    If you are fighting close in then they are great as it wil stop cuts!
