He’s at home now safe and sound! me and a few good lads off here made are way up the fell first thing this morning, after many miles of searching, we were making are way to check a section of woodland when one of the lads took a quad back down to my house. My missus was there ready to leave, someone had called to say they had him at the local pet shop, so off she went, 20 mins later he’s back home curled up in the sofa where he belongs. He was found 5 or 6 miles away from where I last saw him. Other than a little scratch on his toe and putting in a cold night he’s fine

Or you could be like stopend. He goes out for a shot and see's a fox in a field and is able to direct that fox into a burrow close by with a no.6 or likewise. The kind of sorcery even Harry Potter couldn't pull off!

Spoken like a true keeper, but you're right. We do have be seen to work terriers in a humane and professional manner while preforming pest control. But here in Ireland it is very traditional to allow quarry to live for another day and without a shadow of a doubt educated game DOES make for better terriers. To a lot of Irish terriermen the very thoughts of killing game is completely out of the question. On a legal note, I'm not sure about Britain but under our Master of Foxhounds rules a cold marked fox can be bolted by a terrier to be hunted by hounds. But not when put to ground afte

Weather was good so took taffy out for a few runs managed to bag 5. Had about 8 runs had 5 so was more then happy with 5.

Pups out with their mother

This design has a special reminiscence for me as it was the design of the first knife i was involved in making some 35 years ago. An old boy, an engineer to trade took an interest in me as a lad and forged up a similar blade with me i "helped". He gave it to me some time later and i still use it today. It is a good all rounder for butchering up a carcass, recently helping a mate who has a small holding and does his own butchering and he admired it. As he gave me half a carcass for the freezer i have made it as a gift for him. Series 2 Land-rover leaf spring deferentially heat treated blad

Today I was lucky enough (and daft enough to do it before a night shift) to go ferreting for the first time. Never been out and done this before so I was ultra keen to get out and learn as much as I could. Rabid kindly showed me how to set nets properly and explained the various things to remember. We took his 2 ferrets out with us, they’ve not been worked before so I was told not to expect too much from them. I was just excited to try, didn’t mind if we didn’t get anything. The holes Rabid originally wanted to run the ferrets through turned out to be a little to foxy for the ferrets so a ret

They would,nt need to be fast mate I,m past legging it and thankfully the ones I'm after are solitary and smaller, so I,m confident between me my knife and my pack I,m in with a sporting chance might even get the body everyone craves and a few action man scars for good measure

One of my girls?

You got that right................look at that black one with glasses in the Labour party that the lads on here are always giving out about. And Hilary Clinton, she's another.

you could start with an online petition

Out with the hounds.

On holiday at the moment,went to an ice-carving festival today,going back later in the week to see the winners.

Pup is coming on nicely, and mum is doing well can't wait to get him home.

Same could be said when lads are out lamping with dogs and killing foxes? Or snaring? Should we all stop driving cars because plenty end up sunbathing on the side of the road? Seasons over now, let the bitching and infighting start lol??atb

Enjoy the foxy aroma as long as you can, we always call it the smell of success, lovely jubbly.

My 16 month dog hes coming on good , good on the lamp comes straight back retrieves to hand and very good mooching about during the day ,and works well bushing with my black lab.

An eventful week for the lads this week at #Invermark... Patterdale Terrier, Charlie, disappeared down a hole at work, during fox control and luckily had his tracking collar on so was easy to locate. 7 #Gamekeepers over 3 days, a total of 72 hours and under 12.5ft of solid rock reunited Charlie with his owner this afternoon at 4pm. A massive thank you to R K Services in Montrose for kindly loaning a rock breaker to help with the epic rescue mission, that was almost called to an end this morning. The breaker got them through the final 3ft of rock, where the lads tho

-42c sounds insane to me, here in oz we have been having days +42c, If I took a holiday in Canada right now I would definitely struggle!

Nice try Chevinfox, if I come on here tomorrow evening and say I've just pissed on my hands would your answer be " ". Anyways when I was married it was always good to come home smelling of fox, it was when I came home with my fingers smelling of fish that I used to get in trouble, .

Lol different worlds Neil .I can picture a few keepers faces if i were to say we let one go .There is no shortage here .I shoot snare and dig but still there will calls about cubs .Its very narrow minded to believe any form of control can be undertaken with terriers alone and that other methods are to be snarled at ,here in Wilts anyway .I can understand lads who are only in it for the sport aspect getting pissed off at the rifle men but to reduce numbers those same men need to put the hours in or they are playing at it too .

Every keeper I've met is a ruthless b*****d, if they're not blaming the foxes for killing the birds, they're blaming the deer for knocking over the feeders and so on and so forth. At the end of the day it's their job and livelihood. And Irish Fox you're pissing in the wind if you think you're going to be able to come onto a Terrier forum and talk about rifling foxes.

He got f***ing rinsed for that in the media. UA dropped him as a brand ambassador. Too much whooping and cheering for me but the lad trains his ass off and did exactly what the pissy whiny antis say hunters wouldn't have the bottle to do. No firearm for protection iirc too.

About 10 mins of hand to tusk combat with with pigs from a bowhunter! LOL Found this part about Antonio piss funny.

Worse thing I ever smelt was a old shrivelled up skunk gland kept in a pot,I took a good sniff as well made my eyes water ?

Used to dig with an English Gamekeeper. None of us liked him as he was a loud mouth but he had 1000s of acres to hunt over so we put up with him. He loved to kill anything. It wasn't about vermin control as he probably caused the deaths of more of his pheasants than any amount of foxes. But we always loved to let quarry off. We were on one of our own farms one day and to shut the Keeper up we told him the farmer was an IRA man (he wasn't) so to keep the English accent down. It was working nicely 'till we dug a huge dog fox with the keepers young dog and he wanted it killed for a rag. But

Marsh Harrier

Only the ones who cared for the dogs and who’s dogs lived were black, they did it while they carved Cellos from raw diamonds and composed classical chamber music or while painting a master piece or writing literature. All the white blokes were licking walls, not able to dance a step and their dogs died en masse !!

A fair way off, osprey with fish from last years crop of images..

i think its all fairly simple , if you have permission to hunt land in the name of game bird protection , and the gamekeeper phones in july asking you to check some earths as he's seen signs about near a pen he's about to put 1000's of poult's in and you say no tell him to contact me lovely if you can hang up your spade and give fair law but the anti's f****d that up with the hunting bill turning sporting quarry hunted for control, in to out right vermin , its not a pissing match the f***ing anti's don't agree with any hunting,shooting ,fishing, live stock farming/ breeding , dairy

A new look at an old find has revealed that humans bonded emotionally with their dogs much earlier than we thought. A PhD candidate and a vet, at Leiden University, have studied human and canine bones found from a grave discovered in 1914. Recent studies have shown the remains to be around 14,000 years old but the reveal that humans bonded with dogs was from the study of the dog's teeth. The degraded material from the teeth has shown that the dog suffered from a form of distemper and that it must have been contracted as a pup, yet the dog had lived until 7-8 months showing that despite th

Second time round he was good, he is 4 yr old now doing the job nicely.

Im only a couple of minutes from the canal and often used to take a spinning rod and a few silver lures whilst i walked the dogs at night,a few miles along the canal and id catch more than i did daytime,fecked now because of the eastern europeans,who would want to eat a muddy canal pike?.

Other lads have mentioned the use of firearms when controlling foxes y aren't you attacking them listen here you little keyboard warrior I'm no idiot the only idiot here is you, your attacking a person that has a different way of hunting your a moron simple.

Sorry but if you don't like it you need to f**k off. Attack the post and not the guy.
