    If its the same litter the breeder doesn't have his any more. Im more than happy with mine though, i put my whippet russell over her earlier this year and kept a couple of bitches. They are coming up 6 months now so should see what they are made of this coming season

    Poor dogs

    I dont buy into that at all. I've lived in Africa, they do all sorts of terrible things, but dont need to do that and its plenty hot there. Nothing is black and white, its all shades of grey. In my eyes its foolish to blindly disagree with everything someone says just because you dont like /agree with them. That is exactly why i cant take the anti's seriously, they are so biased that reality means nothing to them. Its just ignorance. I prefer to judge for myself. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and thats mine.

    Cruelty is cruelty in my eyes, i dont care who says it. There is a world of difference between hunting and that and i wont side with that just because PETA or LACS dont like it. It makes us look as ignorant as they are IMO.

    They are racy but little, 15 tts at just over 5 months. At one point i thought they were going to be mini lurchers but they've kept the build but not made the height. The choclate bitch is nuts, had a rabbit already and keen on cover. The choc and white does a bit more thinking and hunts like f**k in the long grass but isnt keen on thick cover yet. She's also had a kill bit was only a young moor hen. They are young yet, by end of the season i'd like to think i'll have an idea of what i've got

    No. Never done if or even seen it before. I own the sire and dam and both do what i want so seemed reasonable to try. I do a lot of thick bramble clumps with not much space between so im looking for them to be bushers with a bit of a sprint to them. We shall what happens

    I had a red lakelandx with a real foxy look about him. Use to tape a hi viz on him on fox drives, there wasnt much left of hi viz by the end of the day but it saved him a few times

    We've got 2 and Jai's got one. Still pups yet but showing good signs. I'll find some pics tomorrow

    Ive just bred a litter of whippet russell over pat springer. They might've been handy for what you want

    I got a 12'x25' from first tunnels in the end. The lead time was ridiculous but everyone on furlough ordered one apparently. Ive got the frame up but waiting on a digger to do the trench and put the cover on it. I got heavily distracted by chickens so missed most of this growing season but will start as soon as i get the tunnel finished

    Ventilation is also vital. I work on a lot of bizarre building projects, everything from shepherds huts to timber frame barns to Nissen huts to silo conversions. Steel buildings aren't bad to do but you want high and low level ventilation and at least a 100mm air gap between that and the framing. Use breather membrane on the outside of the frame and insulate inside it. We are doing the lower half of a grain silo at the moment, converting it into a toilet block for a conference room, it can be 35 degrees in the loft where there's no insulation but lovely and cool inside the conversion

    In NZ they don't. I've seen pigs caught there by several different types, even fox terriers. Herding dogs, huntaways, heading dogs and collies are very popular although, to be fair, most purpose bred pig dogs do have a dose of some kind of bull. They have to hunt the pig and either bail or hold it. The terrain is such that it takes a while to get there so having something too hard isn't always helpful. They seem to use seperate catch dogs in the states, not sure why it's done differently there maybe flatter terrain so it's faster to get to the bail up? Anyway, interesting

    It does make me chuckle when someone who has actually hunted pigs with said breed is told they are wrong based on a video watched on another continent by someone who has never actually done it ?

    Avoid it like the plague. Brings nothing but trouble

    The problem is that the 'old guard' are actually the land owners rather than the stalkers. They own the land and they don't want everybody on it. I've spent years working towards getting my stalking partner accepted onto the estae I manage. There are plenty of times they don't even want me there. If they could manage the deer without having anyone on at all they certainly would.
  19. Tyla
    I wasnt suggesting you did. The question is what happens when you have to shoot many times more than you can consume. I also work less during the season to free up time so I can keep up with my cull. The meat money doesn't cover it but it certainly helps. You could call it stitched up or you could call it managed in a way the land owner wants. Having lots of stalkers on one estate shooting a few each for the freezer sounds great but its a logistical nightmare.
  20. Tyla
    I ment that, once they get away from their release site, I think farmers will quietly shoot them. Which would be a shame as I'd like to see them spread
  21. Tyla
    Getting them shot is the easy bit. The challenge for me is going to be finding an ethical and, ideally, financially viable way of using the carcasses

    Some estates are culling 100s of deer a season just to maintain numbers. Without the venison money will they maintain the staff and facilities to continue I wonder? I'm nowhere near those numbers but it does or did form a part of my income. Joe, your mate doesn't need to skin it for a game dealer, he would, in theory need a hunter number to sell it though
  23. Tyla
    That sounds like some really special hunting. Would you be interested in swapping hunts and coming to the UK? I would be happy to provide deer stalking, ferreting, dog work, some rough pheasant shooting, whatever you fancy really?
  24. Tyla
    I was chatting to my game dealer today and he says he will not be buying any carcasses this season unless something dramatic changes. From what I hear this is likely to be across the board with dealers either not buying or paying a pittance. A combination of brexit and corona lockdown seems to have hit the industry hard. It will be interesting to see what affect this has on the deer populations, whether estates and private individuals will keep up with their cull numbers and what they will do with the carcasses. What are your thoughts?

    They are already trying to demand, with no statutory grounds, qualifications to grant deer as a quarry. It's ludicrous that shooting a deer from a high seat requires qualifications and yet night shooting foxes requires no training at all. A training course doesn't prepare you for either in my opinion. All about money in my opinion, if they were concerned about competence mentoring would be a better option.
