  1. With regards to hunting partners. I have one lad who moved locally last year and we go out a lot, and two lads who live 5-6 hours away who come to mine regular sometimes just for the night and sometimes for a week to ten days at a time. The one drive 6 hours with a leg in plaster for an afternoons bushing and a night in the pub and then drove 6 hours home in the morning. Mad.
  2. You didn’t piss me off I just moved 100 miles away. Just saying like ?
  3. For the 1 millionth time ..... can those who think they’re are big cats explain why we don’t have any bodies to show ?
  4. StilL comes back to the same thing. If they were about in any number at all. There would have been a dead one to show folk at some point.
  5. I’ve had quite a few bits of stock stripped in a day / night. Worst culprits and badgers and res kites.
  6. Is it really that ? People been calling them day dogs for a long time.
  7. Cheers Phil. The sledge hammer is for when she meets a real sticky cow.
  8. I’ve said it a lot of times. But in this country, there is nothing stock wise that a good border collie can’t do. Bred for the job, bred for the ground, the climate etc. Lots of folk do enjoy these other breeds but mostly they don’t offer much we don’t have. With the one exception maybe being the deep bark of a huntaway clearing bit rough hill ground, but that would be fairly rare.
  9. Aye that’s mainly what they are used for. Bit like a hound. They will lug, but generally used as finder bailers.
  10. Random and a different country. But have you lads seen the cur dogs that a lot of the American lads use for cattle work and also hunting. Particularly in places like Texas and Florida. Mostly tan, rangy hound type things.
  11. Spot on. Out last night and he really impressed me !
  12. East. Rules have changed but similar. Need a licence and to pay a tax per dog. I’d say it’s more costly and complicated now.
  13. He’s surprised me to be fair to him. Very puppy ish in his behaviour and slow to start in some ways. But a lovely natured dog, and a lot faster and better stamina than I thought he’d have. Has started his career well enough, will be interesting to see what he manages to become. He’s coming to Germany in Feb with me (at least that’s the plan) so we shall see what happens then.
  14. Aye it’s a bit long. Generally it’s secured out the way. Tend to leave them long as sometimes stick them around other dogs or around the middle of the small dogs.
  15. Got a damaged screen on a Garmin alpha. Still works but would like to get it fixed. Any ideas ?
  16. Mostly kennel mine but I like hanging out with them ? so they spend plenty of nights in the kitchen. The old dogs all move into the house when they start to look like they need it.
  17. So ..... still no theory from anyone as to why one hasn’t been shot / trapped / dogged / road kill so there is a genuine undeniable large cat body ?
  18. There are wild ones, some of which have been run and caught..... complete with obligatory gate photo ? long time ago now but some may remember ? That guy sounds like a hoot ?
