Who has done most to publicise the Countryside to the masses?
dytkos replied to The Sporting Agent's topic in General Talk
Nice one Ditch, what about Phil Drabble also? -
Missed out eating, drinking and shitting!

No, not physically or mentally. It may or may not grow any taller but it's bone structure won't develop fully for some months. Ditto the mental side, some dogs take literally years after they are physically mature to reach their optimum level. Don't overstretch him/her. Hope this helps. Cheers, D.

Nowt to do with Global Warming .Bunnies breeding condition depends on light stimulation not temperature.Once we get past the longest night (21/22 Dec)the daylight increases.Laying snow can also effect the breeding cycle by effectivly increasing the light levels by reflection on bright clear nights.Round here we expect to see a few scuttlers around the end of Dec/New years day.These've been born about the begining of December ,hence concieved begining of November .In other words the babies you see after Christmas are late litters not early ones.... A s to the embryos found in Winter -caught

Hey Ditch, you can't crab a species that was around for million years or more, I'll bet mankind (or mancruel) won't be here that long! Cheers. D.

Hard boiled and cold, for breakfast on the go, or fried with home roasted cinammon ham and chips.

Thanks Compo. Cheers, D.

Ferreting yesterday caught 7 rabbits, 3 with young inside them in various stages of growth.

You kept that quiet mate, where's mine?

If you can't dig to them, what's the point in getting a harder dog that will just get smashed up in that place? Find another method of control. ie shooting, snaring etc. You say your dogs are not soft in any way so I presume they will shift stuff in other places, some earths are just not worth it, unless you are a professional terrier man and have to work these places.

Buy a "normal" collar from Ebay, (about 4 quid delivered), put this on a few times in the run/hutch, She'll soon get used to it and if it comes off, you'll be able to find it easily. When you put a locator collar on later it won't be such a "big deal" for her. Hope this helps. Cheers, D.

Had 3 bucks and a pregnant doe whilst ferreting last week, still got to keep going though to keep the sole permission.

Saw one that had been shot by a farmer in Turkey back in '99. It had been taking pheasants reared for local shoot and had been living in a local wood for almost a year before it was shot. And didn't look to be much more than a year old.

Try Tideline Books of Rhyl in North Wales (if they're atill going) they stocked all his books from day one. HTH. Cheers, D.

I feed my lot at about 5 every evening, whether they are going out next day or not. Whatever I feed them, either fresh or dried food it doesen't seem to make a difference whether they kill in or no, just depends where the rabs are, ferrets kill for fun, hungry or well fed, but well fed ferrets will work longer, harder, faster stronger!

Although I do post regularly, I am now on the missus's laptop, rather than my own office PC and I have accidently viewed 3 members profiles in the last half hour by not being familiar with the controls/big numb fingers!

If you can get £1.50 each gutted, not skinned, you've got a great deal. Don't tell anybody else locally!

Easterly wind and rabbits don't bolt half as well on the moor.

Well done Gollum, keep at it!

F*ckin Priceless!!! A very interesting post!

You're right Remmy, my Jimny goes anywhere a Landy goes, using the one wheel in, one wheel out of the rut method.

Burn Night tonight.

A programme on TV where some old boy goes around picking up road kill to eat and someone on the trail of THE BEAST OF BODMIN, what is supposed to be a big cat prowling around the Moor. A collection of local modern folklore stories really. I think people from the USA would call it "quaint".

Nowadays you can inform likeminded people to be on the look out for stolen dogs through forums such as this. I had 2 good dogs stolen many years ago with no means to put out the word or photos to anybody except by word of mouth and newspaper ads. Police obviously treat it as an inconvenience to them so no joy there. Hope they are safely recovered.

Very nice pieces of kit mate, but well out of my price range! Cheers, D.
