that 3/4 bred dog wasn't fast enough,they are usually to fast for what i want (over runnning) i prefer bit more bull in them i suppose speed is everything to some people if thats the case pure grey bull aids prey drive,gameness,tenacity,and there bite power and muscle mass seems to rub of on any dog there bred to, depends what you want they are good all rounders ,but have there faults as any lurcher does My half bred bull greyhound is well fast enough for what I use him for, he has a great nose, he marks 100%, he wasn't to hard to train, dead game. He's mainly a lamping dog but he does

I think OTTER shit, as mink shit usually looks like a big ferret shit but with scales. Otters will definately use those kind of streams and drains. Especially as travelling routes between rivers/lakes etc.. and over hill ground.

how much to clear rabbits for private house?
dogs-n-natives replied to a topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
As a pest controller I agree that for private gardens 100 -150 quid per day would be about there for a good clearance. But I do mostly farmland and I charge £1 per rabbit, (young'uns too) it works well for me and then they know thier getting what they pay for. -
So I take it your wanting to sit out and shoot the bunnies as they leave the burry/cover with a silinced .22 or air rifle? Ive found that rabbits have different habits in different areas, some of my work is near built up areas and the rabbits here are out all day and are quite used to people with dogs passing all day. Here I pick a nice comfortable spot and I'll sit out and shoot many, as there just so tame. They may dive back into a hole when a comrade is shot close by but they will be back out in minutes or even seconds. However on other wilder parts its a totally different ball game and a w

Yis Mars. ive been to a few shows ive never entered but i enjoy them but the ones i went to were beautey contests at working shows Ive been to a few shows in my area. And I have felt like a RIGHT TOOL at a couple of them as im stood there with a bully lurcher thats well worked, and im surrounded by a load of pretty wee things, with their owners desperately trying to get their dogs into the best position!! Pathetic!! I dont show any of my workers any more as I just feel out of place

hOW MUCH DO GAMEKEEPERS GET A YEAR?
dogs-n-natives replied to a topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
AYE! Well Said Game farming can be a big money business, but there are large set-up costs, and a high risk of large losses. Reliable employees that are willing to work long days are a must. -

I get my pheasant poults in late july followed a couple of weeks later by the red-legs, which I start releasing straight away. I like to get the pheasants first because you can easily clean up any vermin that comes into the pheasant pens. Its a lot easier to deal with then. We start shooting the partridge in late september, and generally start to mix in a couple of pheasant drives by about early October. Last season our pheasants didnt mature as quickly, probably down to the crappy wet weather that we had.

Ive found its a waste of time trying to trap foxes in the countryside. Much better off using properly set snares! But if the fox is comming in around farm sheds or other buildings or structures, especially in urban environments, then a cage trap, set somewhere where it dosent look to obvious can work well. Use a bait which matches what would be found by the fox in the area. Hpoe this helps. Like I said I havnt had much luck when setting them out and about. But its good to see some people have. Just want to add that I caught 100 plus per year when I was keepering, in snares, and a dead cat

Thanks to all for the possitive comments Ive had. Glad you enjoyed the read though I am sure there will have been a bit of poetic license in there somewhere. Could have rambled on for ages and I'm sure my guide for the outing is still pi**ing himself laughing from when I got ready to drill old brock as he came bumbling through the undergrowth at the edge of one of the woods, nearly saw the colour of adrenalin with that one, it was only a few yards away and in the pitch dark it sounded bigger!! With regards to cooking it Martin, it was bloody gorgeous and I have got to make arrangements to bri
