I was reading this site and was wondering if it would be worth opening a thread on where in the UK mixy is seen during 12 months. i.e. "Mixy Watch" (corny but there you go! ) My idea being those who see mixy in their area could tell others therefore allowing Coney to be left in peace and make a comeback. What do you think? Is it open to too much abuse? Is it pointless? This is only a suggestion, and open for discussion. Tight Lines Al

Frozen rabbits being sold here for £3.50 each, however they are farmed, wild rabbits in Cardiff market caught by lurcher used to go for £3.25 about 2 years ago. Hope this is of interest. Cheers Al

Guys this rain is good for a bit of upland trout fishing? Dig some worms, get your ponchos on and Get yourselves out to some cracking remote locations. Tight Lines Aled

Sounds like a bit of sense there Kurgan. I reckon if a kid has a good hobby its better for them overall. My best mate claims his knowledge of spoken and written English is better because he read Trout & Salmon as a kid. Hope things work out OK mate. Tight Lines Aled

Crikey what a difference. In my primaryand secondary school most of us lads fished a bit, some of us shot (with Dads) some hunted, all us of lived in a rural area, knew where food came from how lamb arrived on your plate, and that foxes killed chickens. I used to talk huntin, shooting, fishin with many school teachers. After living in Cardiff i chose to move back home to live in the area i was brought up. Guys my son is nearly 1 if any of his teachers in this fine rural area of Wales ever talks to him like that i'll be bloody livid! A serious questin though, has his behaviour in school in

I also think he's a little bit mad. He's just given an out and out Veggie the ministerial Job in DEFRA (Hilary Benn) No sympathy at all for this countries meat farmers. Where is the mans sense! Tight Lines Aled

No probs Stabs, it was one of the very few Welsh Language programmes (along with Torri Gwynt, and Yr Awr Fawr!) that many of us school kids watched, despite the fact we hardly spoke any English. Anyway relive your childhood. By the way did you watch in Welsh or with the subtitles on BBC2 (remember meeting some fellow rugger buggers from N Ireland who loved it!) Tight Lines Aled

I remember it well but it was in colour, (refugees, dead pigs Auntie Nells tractor, football??) anyway what i do know is that it had a repeat run on S4C digidiol after Christmas, try emailing S4C. Pob Hwyl Aled

I agree with mole catcher, i tried with little success to motivate certain groups of the angling community to support hunting. "we are different" was the cry. I think recent events are proving me and others right. Well written mole catcher. Cheers Aled

I lived in the city for a while (5years), and aspects of life there is without a doubt different, what i have noticed is that ignorance is a bigger problem than opposition. Honest discussion with people who are prepared to listen can be a good experience all round. City life has its up side but i could not wait to get home. My wife and i are both country people who lived in the city for a while before we met. Both of us wanted to return to live in our home town, which we did (we're from the same town but got together when we met in the city!). Anyway she supports several elements of country s

Wife doesnt mind me going out shooting and fishing but has no interest in coming with me. Has agreed we'll have a dog soon but has refused point blank! To allow me ferets! But i do get peace to shoot and fish, and she does eat some (although not all) of what i bring home. Cheers Aled

Fair point, but when it comes to politics i've always voted for the person not a party (although i will never vote labour in an Assembly or Westminster election again) Would some of you consider that as an option? Don't forget there were some Lib Dems, Nationlists, and Labour (Kate Howie) who opposed the ban and some Tories (Anne Widicombe) who supported it. Thats my story an i'm sticking to it! Cheers Aled

Oh in that context i'd rather be hunting that sat here reading the board, but it makes my breaks from work enjoyabe Cheers Aled

How do you define "non hunter"? I do a lot of fishing, some rough shooting, and airgun shooting, but i don't (at present) work a dog (have done in the past) what ferreting i've done has been with other peoples ferts, but i wholeheartedly support hunting, and i do enjoy reading about different types of hunting. Hope to own some ferts one day, the wife will need some persuading though...... Cheers Aled

I am on probably on my last lap of playing rugby also got a 5month old son. A bit of mountain biking to help the fitness and in the summer sea trout fishing. If i retire from rugby next year, wife says we can get a dog. Cheers Aled

Roll on April, plan to get some early sea trout fishing done, and hopefull some wild brownies on the smaller rivers. I'm off to Irelad in May, so will challenge any spare time during the rest of May to the family. Maybe some sea trouting all nighters in June if time allows. Then praying for some summer spates to see some grilse. Sea fishing trip in Scotland in August, then depending on weather particularly rain will either try for salmon or upland browns in September. Salmon only in early October. Cheers Al

Crikey as a relatively new father (he's 22 weeks) and a rebellious teenager this is frightening. Strangely though my rebellion was about Country sports, all i wanted to do was go fishing Mam didnt in principle mind, provided i got my school work done, which would you rather do?? (We also had a huge argument about me having a 410 at 13years old, she won the battle but i won the war!) Anyway what i was going to say is that when i went to college (yes i got there eventually) my relationship with my parents improved within weeks. So going away from Mam n Dad for a while can be a real help. Since
