nttf 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) LurcherBitch my Luv, It has been a while since I was last on here and even longer since you and I have cibits. First off for the smoking, do what I did get sick and confined to bed for 2 1/2 months with no access to them it makes things sooooooo much easier. As for the your problem child, if the bitch in heat does not work try going back to the trap, but change from a wire trap to a wooden box trap...I am sure I can get a set of plans for you if needed. There is a good chance that he is associating the wire trap to a wire kennel and that is why he is avoiding it. Dont give up on him, it will come together . CatHunter NTTF Oh and those #@^%*&$ B%&(*$#@ that would not bring me a G^%$*@%& smoke ....dont wory about them as their M*^&%#$ F&^%#@$ bodies will never be F%$&*#$ found where I .......I mean they dissappeared to.

Guest peakhound Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 LB, what im saying is that at this time of year theres not alot of food out there, so he is obviously getting it from the same place......?? maybe???? Dont you think it would be worth while trying to "feed" him into a barn/outbuilding/shed and then letting the dog trip his own trap...so to speak?... or is it not as simple as that. ? the places he may be feeding may not be anywhere near the places he is seen in the daytime?....goodluck with him... this one sounds like a proper challenge... if theres anythign i can do...just let me know... Thanks for your post - we have been putting food out in a barn/garage, but he doesn't go back regularly. I have logged every sighting and been putting crosses on a map. There is absolutely no pattern to his movements. Even started comparing sighting times with weather conditions, bin days, shoots, only thing i've not tried yet is a psychic communicator... The possibilities are endless, either: 1) the sightings we get are only in one part of a much greater circuit (has been seen over a 20 sq mile area, including moorsvillages and housing estates). We only get sightings from one area at a time, so is he visiting the other areas where we rarely hear about him at night? AND is there someother area where he goes that we don't know about and haven't got any posters up? 2) Does he head back onto the moors when he gets hungry and spend a few days out feasting on bunnies and birds. Is he then coming back to civilization just to snack from a few bins and find warmth near the houses? 3) Some of the areas he is seen in are the kind of places where the residents are members of badger watch and toad patrol type things, and are probably leaving food out for their local badgers (sure Tag would soon take advantage of this!) 4) Is he just mooching aimlessly, grabbing a few minutes sleep here and there, where he knows he can escape from people (like when he was asleep in a wide open field under a tree - i expected him to be sleeping somewhere a lot more concealed, the corner of a cosy barn, in thick undergrowth out of the way somewhere...) I totally agree that where he is seen may be far away from where he is eating and sleeping. Hoping that we will get more calls now it's snowing cos people might notice him more, we can then add more crosses to the map and build a better picture. Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to read, think, and reply!!!!!! Feel awful that most suggestions you make, i come back with "tried that one and ......" VERY FRUSTRATING Keep the thoughts coming, and thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hows you my lurv. Soz to here you been sick, better now i hope. Think i'll give up smoking the the normal way as it is going really well. (only killed a couple of people). Two weeks now. Dont you worry we wont give up on him. We got tons of help and support from folk on here and the genral public. Just for info T.F.Student. My dog SHEYA is a greyhound and survived on the streets of manchester for a year. she was very badly injured by kids throwing bottles and stuff at her. I caught her and gave her the medical attention she needed. Also the love care and attention and earned her trust, she was off lead and running round with my other dogs within a year. Saying that, both me and peakhound are realists and the quality of the Tags life comes first .xx Edited February 8, 2007 by Lurcherbitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping that some TLC will sort him out WHEN we get him home, but having livestock and dogs all my life I AM a realist and will not keep ANY animal in a miserable existence where they cannot do the things they need to enjoy life. But, lets leave it at that, because our first priority it is to get him back safely. We can then worry about rehab and all that goes with it. Thank you for pointing out that there may be darker side, because I do appreciate that there are some people out there who view things through rose coloured glasses, but lets think positively. As LB has rightly said, she has the living proof that this is possible, as have a lot of other members of this forum who have contacted us with support! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
