  1. No "real" foxhunting by hounds in our area since the ban means that the cubs don't disperse as in past years so we find several together more than we would have in past seasons.
  2. Drove around the Moor on a recce for a couple of hours last night with a mate who farms there. Picked up 11 foxes in the beam. Two lots of two and the rest on their own. Should have decent sport when the conditions are right.
  3. If it was you running the risk you'd have the jabs. Do the decent thing by your dog. Injections cost les than your first visit to the vets and a helluva lot less than a new dog!
  4. It can be mate but there's a hell of a lot of genuine people down here also!
  5. Well done mate, was going to wish you happy birthday when I saw your post! Quality pics too.
  6. Best value estate I ever had, Suzuki Baleno. Air Con, all electrics, air bags, cheap to run and insure, decent performance and Escort size. Never had a spanner on it for 3 years. Get an S or T one now for less than 12-1500 quid.
  7. Try ebay, about a tenner each for quality 6 footers. Hope this helps. Cheers, D.
  8. He was born on mine! I Loved JH also, despite the reasons, I thought that Drabble was more "mainstream" and brought the countryside to the masses most despite any background issues.
  9. Try EBC Brakes on t'internet, I got upgraded pads and discs for mmotor (not a Nav) for same money as main dealer standard price. Paid an independant to fit them (£50) 20 less than main dealer. Hope this helps, cheers D.
  10. See Lord B's post, Being Britith.......
  11. Probably not quite that simple (,any sort of stress can cause the internal abortion thingy at any time of year)but whatever the cause it helps the survival of prime breeding does in times of adversity and saves them the time and energy involved in rearing unviable litters.Thanks for the kind comments.I'm off to put my anorak back on. I realise its not that simple, i was simplifying it for everyone to grasp what you were implying. Its a very valid point though I'll get my anorak as well! Once again Comanche, thank you for informative and interesting info. I too have been rabb

    Missed out eating, drinking and shitting!
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. Hard boiled and cold, for breakfast on the go, or fried with home roasted cinammon ham and chips.
  17. Ferreting yesterday caught 7 rabbits, 3 with young inside them in various stages of growth.
  18. You kept that quiet mate, where's mine?
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Had 3 bucks and a pregnant doe whilst ferreting last week, still got to keep going though to keep the sole permission.
  22. 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.
