    Lads doing it right would impress me more than a wrong 'un with the best stud in the country. I'm picky about who I associate with and its worked out well for me so far. I've never had the best dogs in the world but I don't care, they do enough to keep me happy and doing it right and avoiding drama means I have plenty to go at without running the gauntlet unless I choose to.

    52! Although it does seem to be slowing down now. I was getting 3 or 4 a day at one point. 5 acres down only another 1995 to go lol

    I've been trapping squirrels over the past couple months for the boss. There seems to be no end to them! I'm running 6 traps and up to 51 now with no sign of it slowing up. Anyone else seeing the same?

    Seen several foxes up trees. Seen a fox with a pack of bushers up his arse run up a leaning ash, drop out the top about 10 foot up and keep on going while the dogs marked the tree. I used to flush one from an Ivy covered oak pretty often too. Ive even got a video of one curled up in a hollow tree so sound asleep I crept up on it to get the video. I spotted it with the thermal out squirrelling or would've never thought to look there

    You can't beat that kind of hunting, love a mooch about looking for anything that turns up

    Its a fair size pen I'll need for 100 birds. My missus has offered to let me use a couple of field shelters on the stable yard so I'm going to squeeze what I can in there and cull what I cant. Its just a piss take, I'd rather take my chances with bird flu than run a battery unit, kind of defeats the purpose of what I'm doing there. They live on an electric fenced acre of scrub, don't get locked up at night, some even live in the trees and only come in to lay. Its a proper good life they live and the eggs and meat taste all the better for it. If I wasn't registered and so liable for spot checks

    What is everyone doing about this? I suddenly have a couple of days to house a flock of 100 supposedly free range pasture fed birds. Its bloody ridiculous. I'm going to have to cull a load of birds I don't want to and spend a fortune on housing whats left. It basically means any money they might have made will be gone and makes small scale poultry farming unviable. Lots of people will ignore it but the fine is unlimited and it potentially carries 6 months in jail. No doubt that would be a pretty extreme case but even a couple grand fine would be sore enough. If I did

    Ah, I get it now. Its illegal so its OK to be a wanker and wreck the place ..... really?? You own land right? Would you just shrug that off "oh well, they've f****d the place, never mind, it's illegal and those poor lads have no other way to test their dogs" I don't reckon you would. Legal or illegal, if people choose the act the c**t in the process they can expect to be looked on as c**ts.

    I think there's alot of wrong 'uns out there doing bad shit and letting the travellers take the blame for it. Not that some of them don't do the same, they obviously do, but there's other people up to no good from all over and it all gets blamed to the nearest site.

    I still don't buy it. Using that logic you could justify pretty much anything. Is it ok the cartels using kids as drug mules just because it makes it easier to conduct the business they choose to be in? Not to me, I couldn't care less about them smuggling gear but some of the ways they choose to do it marks them down as c**ts in my book. You want to play the game you take your chances, it doesn't give you a right to f**k about with someone else's livelihood or justify chasing quarry with cars. Everyone has their own moral compass regardless of legislation, its up to each individ
  13. Tyla
    Criminal yeah, doesn't mean people don't have to have morals. What's right and wrong is different to legal and illegal in my eyes. Driving around across someone else's livelihood and treating your quarry like shit is wrong however you choose to justify it.
  14. Tyla
    I think anyone has a right to an opinion whether it be critical or not. My opinion is that that's unacceptable. Dress it up how you like with them being heroes out to test their dogs but to me they are still trashing someone else's place and relying on numbers and the race card to get away with it.

    I've done the same in NZ a couple of times and been on a hunting trip, not as successful as yours, to Spain as well. Its a great way to meet people and see different kinds of hunting. I'm shit at languages though so never tried Europe on my own
  16. Tyla
    How did you end up doing that?? That's a trip of a life time without even having to go too far. Brilliant!

    I'm being a bit lazy and just taking breast and legs off. Stock is a good idea but I might struggle time wise

    I have a lovely custom knife which I should use but usually forget to take it out the truck. Mostly I take them back to the larder and gralloch with kit thats there. If I'm doing them in the field it's usually with a spyderco folder because it's always in my pocket but if the trucks close enough I'll use the posh knife

    Stir fry tonight

    Thanks, I'll try that

    Make sure you use a vet the knows what they are doing. I had toes off two different bitches, first bitch it ended her career but second ran just as well after. Obviously the injuries were not identical but I believe the 2nd vet did a better job

    I've been culling a load of cockerels out of my flock this autumn, mainly light sussex but and some laying hybrids that I hatched in the spring when I was breeding replacement layers. I've done curries. stir frys, stews etc and was just wondering if anyone had any different recipes to try? They aren't the meatiest of birds and definitely benefit from long slow cooking and they are very tasty and there are still lots of them!

    The two we kept

    Thanks. One of them was enormous, about 23tts and looks like a bullx. The others were slightly bigger than the bitches but similar type

    Been beating a fair bit this season and doing a bit of rough shooting. She's taken to it and flushes and retrieves well enough. She's steady enough rough shooting but can get a but wild on a place with a lot of birds on. She seems to have worked out the difference between bushing and shooting, happy to range out and hunt while bushing but keeps relatively close, with a bit of reminding, while shooting. I'm still pleased with her so far.
