I don't know exactly what do you mean by "mix", it means to bite ? If it means to bite, they are more barkers than mixers. Betty, the left one on the pic, is my best jack (10 badgers in 5 hunts this

Some pics from my digging class

I've never dug to a coypu Blaise. I heard of some being about once in a part of the world near .  Have you ever dug to a otter ?

No I never dug to an otter. Very rare in France and highly protected.
I thought otter was hunted with hounds more than dug ?

Thanks for that Blaise. Yes the highly protected over in this part of the world too.i just didn't know if different where you are.  I saw pictures of them hunted or tales , that's going back to a hundred years ago near enough.  Say no more on the matter. All the best with your hunting and good to see how much you appreciate it

Badger was turning for a long time. First dig in order to cut the way. Then badgers has been push in the stop end. Thus second hole 3 meters. Two badgers. 
We don't need your collar, we do the job without.

I wasn't being funny and like i said i'll bet most folk who have dug a hole or two will have thought the same as i do at times and you dig a lot of holes which everyone knows ain't no good for any earth,sett or warren,i those of us who do use locators don't often have places looking like yours do.Like it or not Blaise it's the truth mate and i wasn't being funny about it just saying it loud as such,your lucky folk having it the way you do and i do wish you all the best with it,but those locators do help at many levels from the dogs safety to the upkeep of the earth,sett,warren it's self and time has proved this over this side of the channel..?..

Blaine just out of interest what's the deepest you guys will work with only using your ears to locate. I know some type of ground over here you can be only 2ft away from the dog and still not hear the dog bay.

So what Blaise , you dug 2 holes and one was to the dog because of the circumstance of the sett ?.  And obviously, a locater coller made  no difference in what went on because of how you dug to the dog ?.  I think that the guys trying to mock you because the thinking different on things they've probably done or seen themselves.  Good luck with your hunting Blaise , yous are very dedicated

Rat Face, It depends of earth. Beyond 6 or 7 ft, it's very difficult.

Absolutely, some are speaking about my hunt but they weren't with us.

The number of holes never depend on ability to locate the dog.

Lozzer would you work your dogs without a locating collar on.I understand that blaise has to as its the law for some strange reason but why there is such a law is beyond me.would it not make more sence to put the dogs safety first and use a locater.I worked terriers for some years without but they we're not about at the time but soon as they came on scene I made it my business to get one. The whole point in working terriers is to reach them as quickly and safely as you can but by dropping holes all over not alone are you f***ing up a good earth but you are also putting your dogs life on the line. Every man to his own but I have more respect for my dogs than to put them at risk when there is a better way of going about it.
