I have two rescue Lurchers. One of them starts the other off and you can hear them along way off. I bought a citrus collar. Not a cheap one at £68 and he stopped instantly. Only trouble is other one can set it off. Poor sod, but this only happens occassionally.

Was all the time in the end but started off just occasionally. Hope all is fine and just something upsetting him.

My dog started doing this out of the blue at 11 years old. Couldn't believe it. Quite soon realised something must have been up so took him to vets and diagnosed with a bladder tumour. Pushes on their bowels and makes them no longer clean. Hope this isn't your problem but might be worth getting checked.

Looks like a classic ferret attack to me. Usually only eat the head. Live trap with a bit of rabbit covered over will do the trick if it's a ferret.

Had the same problem with trigger pull on my cz, found was causing bigger spread than expected. Changed and was shooting tight patterns at 100 yards. Never clean mine.

Got a 12g Single shot Hushpower. Never got on with it. Too big and clumsy and being a single shot, need to be a better shot than me to make the most of it. Prefer to stick with a moderated .22 or 17 hmr.

mine have petnap heat pads, costs pittance to run as just keeps the dog around normal body temperature

You're lucky the bee's stayed put. I disturbed a swarm of something when shooting rabbits in the wood one year and before I knew it, they were all over me. Should have seen the sight of me legging it across a 20 acre field whilst ripping my camouflage off as they'd got inside. Naked and knackered at the other end of the field covered in stings. Must have been a bizarre sight for nature spotters.

I use front line for kittens on mine.

I keep frontline for kittens for this reason. Where I am, picking up ticks is a common problem. Prevention is better than cure but saying that you can dab the tick with a bit of front line on your finger and more often than not it makes removing them easier.

The factory set trigger on these is real heavy. I found that I became so conscious of it that I stopped thinking about the target and concentrated more on how the trigger was going to pull. Had a big negative effect on grouping. Had the trigger mechanism modified and the results were instant, much tighter patterns.

I have mine in the loft bolted to a brick wall and no problem for the firearms officer. The only question they raise is if access isn't good then they believe you may be inclined not to use every time you take then gun out because of the hassle factor.

Thinking of buying a road legal quad to help with my vermin control but wonder what the law says for transporting firearms. It will be going 3-4 miles on the road before I reach my permission. Cheers

this seems to be quite common and I've certainly suffered. The 17 safety wont go forward if fitted with the 22 bolt. simple quick check.
