How do you mean?
-
Fourteen acre i got mine, bloke is helpful aswell.

Arry i missed your call i will call you tonight after work. There's a few farms I'm going to knock where there are rabbits. Are they more likely to sit in cover when its still thick? When i was you get never had a dog, just net up random holes and would always have one or two. Do hope the rabbits come out the other end and it doesn't wipe them out.

Loons like its not just me struggling then. Arry i got another pup but she is only 12 weeks so obviously take time bringing her on. I will happily come along when it gets colder. There's a few pockets i know in Brecon but no answer when knocked the farmer. Will get again. Used to get a fair few as a kid now nothing. See lads up north with bags of thirty and forty, don't k ow how lucky they are lol.

Literally not bolted anything this season so far, and last year didn't bolt a thing either. Rabbits are thin on the ground down here in south wales. Wondering if there's any point me keeping ferrets Any more. When i was a kid would always bolt a few but its just ridiculous now.

Can you post a couple of these mate?
-
Sorry to hear this mate. I feel your pain i lost mine not even two days ago be it different circumstances. It's a crappy feeling. Looks like she had some good work over her three years.

I think regarding the not killing anything it was just me being upset having had him die in my arms and just the feeling of jacking it all in. Arry reminded me of what a good life i had give him and that this should be my focus, and not to givr up on it all as that's the lifestyle that we all thrive on. This is a first for me and at 28 probably the worst experience I've ever had directly to me. Thanks for all your input blokes, the next one will be as spoilt as Ozzy was that's one thing i know for sure.

I wasn't after any particular work. He had just started to mark earths, go in bushes and i planned to try on the odd fox if i ever had the chance. He was my first ever dog so was happy just being out with him walking the hills and learning from him. He was a Lakeland cross patterdale. I have found a pup i am looking at tonight as i cant stick going home to an empty house and i need a positive focus. Arry off here is a top bloke, called me thismorning and had a chat with me which was lifting. If he ever invites you down take him uo he's a proper gentleman with a wealth of experience.

I contacted the breeder and he said he's gutted for us. I asked if he ever breeds again to let me know as there's not many people breeding workers around here. I will be getting a gate fitted properly, left such a hole in my heart.
-
He was such a cracker. I feel like just packing the whole thing in. I am completely new to the dog game and it was lovely seeing im grow and come along. I've hunted since i was a kid but i just feel like after having him die in my arms how could i kill something now. House was empty thismorning when woke up, not a sound. He was from a good line from a man in wales and i dont know where to even go from here, which is the way forward.

I'm in bits lads. Got home from work last night, dog was jumping about happy to see me. I said to my missus shall i cut some wood for the fire and take the dog out with me for a wee. He was running around the garden playing with acorns chasing me about. Few kids were down by the main road and he saw them, bolted after them down to the road. I ran down trying o grab him, asked the one lad grab him if he comes past. He started running about the road trying to ply, i tried everything to get him over to me. He went by the side of my car and as he did a mini bus came up, i waved her down and she sl

As somebody who's been through it with my missus, what a thing to ask.

Riohog you think the bull shit is as bad on civvy street? I know what you mean i left school with bugger all and i got a house with not a great deal left to pay, save my money and I'm pretty switched on about the bigger picture. I know what you mean you do get a few twats but there's some top blokes aswell. I guess its a case sometimes of is the grass greener and listening to all the lads that are out, however I've seen a few re join over the last few years.

Sorry for the delay guys been stagging on. Appreciate all the input from you all. I'm 28 so i prefer listening to people wiser than me. I know how you mean about being from a small town and seeing things nobody else has. Considering i left school with feck all and have Asperger's syndrome i managed to do alright to get where i am now, own house, car fully paid for, so for sure i see the benefits. I just get moments where i wonder have i got another 12 in me or am i missing out at home. As for sitting in the rain outside elevens' surely you don't mean the one in north camp mate haha? What a sma

Any of you on here? Been in 10 years now but debating a change its gone downhill over the last few years. I just got posted close to home as my old man isn't well so might just see out my time here and move on. Only thing is not many jobs about wales but i do have engineering qualifications which might help.
-
Top bloke I'm glad you got him back. I'd go to the ends of the earth for mine. The fact the bloke hasn't messaged you back or said anything on here says it all. Just a waster.

Just noticed this on the pro shot website. 6mm square elastic. Would this be any good for throwing big heavy ammo?

You can buy them from hogans castings. Bang some bands on see how you get on.
-
That's what it was. Never knew they were over here?
-
My missus said a racoon but i said don't be mad you don't have them over here! Looking at that link its exactly what we saw. Unbelievable if i hadn't seen it with my own eyed id call bullshit. Definatly a racoon.

Wasn't a cat that's for sure

Alright blokes, just putting the question out to you guys for your opinions because me and my missus are always on about it. Going back about 6 months ago we were driving up over the top of one of the mountains in Brecon. As we was coming down the lane there was initially what looked like a fox running in the road so i sped up to get a closer look as he couldn't get up out of the road for a little while as there was no opening into the tree line. It was a white grey colour, had a bushy ringed tail, and very pointy ears. It just sort of skipped as it ran but main observations were the massive p
