Hope someone can help. I have been given a MK1 locator + 2 collars by a freind who has 'upgraded' to the MK3 Just fitted new batteries to collars and locator and tried it lose in the garden. It seems OK to about 4 feet, beyond that its a job to get a beep. Any thoughts?

Its a bloody sad case for sure and shows how crap the 'system'is. If it had been a case of cruelty to animals the PC brigade would have sorted it ages before this sad happening.

When your sober look up Peter Frenette on google. He is ex Holland & Holland and will def. give you some advice. Lives in Cambs! He has no web site or email come to that! I know he builds superb varmint rifles 22-250, 22-4000 and his latest is a .20 calibre

read the law you don't need a reason , working dogs yes working dogs , any one who presents a vet that will carry out the procedure it is not an operation , with a shotgun license or written permission , or letter signed by a huntsman, can have there dog docked, wake up this law was put together by antis, foook show dogs and the kennel club , the working breeds need to be docked if you don't work you dog why buy a working breed a cover hunting breed why did you not buy a lab or a lap dog, the docking law is another attack on are way of life , would the stop muslims caring out the slaughter for

From an 'outsiders' point of view! Spaniels used to be docked from a 'working' point ie the feathers on an undocked tail got caught up in brambles etc and often the tails got broken. Tails were originally docked to prevent this I believe? As for other breeds not sure of the history of docking. I have now got a undocked cocker, took some getting used to but dont seem so bad now. Having said that he isnt a worker! The guy I got him from always docked his pups but did say the fine for illegal docking is way over a grand! You can still get working dogs docked but I believe it has to be done

Had the first outing on Sunday with Chimp and his ferts on my permission. Not much to go at as there is still lots of rubbish about! Managed to do some warrens in a small spinney result was 16 bunnies. Two showing early signs of myxamatosis! Hope that soon clears up. A good few hours was had though, thanks Chimp for the great company.

Used to get £1 each from the village folk 25 years ago! Now prob the same! What is inflation Now get £1:50 from a butcher paunched. As a matter if interest do butchers that buy from you need a game licence, ie to sell game? One time most butchers had game hanging outside dont see that anymore!

Mate if cash is tight, and lets face it it is for us all at present, why not make some for yourself. I have a set of about 30 deeks made from card and simply painted. They are not totally waterproof but the cost is minimal! Think I have a 'pattern' somewhere about pm me your address and I can mail you a paper version to get you started!

Have to agree about Tee Tree oil mate top stuff works on fleas head lice etc. First got introduced to it at a chemical exhibition in London a good few years ago, Aussie company from memory! Got some as a sample off them to 'treat' my sons fingers. I worked a treat within about a week! Had potions off the doc which did nothing!

Some sound advice from most here. One thing crossed my mind, you age! Just bear in mind the law regarding age and air weapons, dont risk anything it will haunt you forever! Oh and the old poem A FATHER'S ADVICE TO HIS SON If a sportsman true you'd be Listen carefully to me. . . Never, never let your gun Pointed be at anyone. That it may unloaded be Matters not the least to me. When a hedge or fence you cross Though of time it cause a loss From your gun the cartridge take For the greater safety's sake. If twixt you and neighboring gun Bi

Its a common fault mate the one I use does the same! Usually a good clean will sort them out. Think its due to the wax coating on subs mostly.
