  1. many thanks to amanda and scott for inviting us out this morning. im sure it will,your pup looks the double of mine at that age.
  2. id think my furthest shot with an air-rifle is 25 yards.definately no more than that because im not a good enough shot to attempt a further one and anyway its an air-rifle so i like to get as close as possible.creeping up on a rabbit within normal air-gun distances does me,i have no inclination to practice longer shots. but each to their own,as long as the person pulling the trigger seriously knows how his gun handles.
  3. i like these quick trips out .i rarely take many rats but it gets the dogs out hunting them every few days. id take you out rabbiting but im not sure your fit enough to keep up
  4. smart pup,reminds me of my red terrier as a youngster.
  5. few pics from this week.sadly only around half of the rats i shoot can be recovered. five rabbits 2 rats.........12 points total 18
  6. looks canny manda. i tried replying to your pm but your inbox is full.lol
  7. got this one whilst our lass was getting her horse in the stable. 1 rabbit total 6 points
  8. this thing has been running for a while now and i havent been taking pics of my kills plus i dont do much shooting at this time of year due to the dogs.however its just a bit of fun so whilst ive no chance of catching up with the front runners ill take part untill the end best i can. 4 rats 4 points
  9. nice one mate,the red terrier looks a cracker.hopefully see you soon.
  10. got a smoker here if you ever need one.
  11. gutted that we both had our trips cancelled.id have liked a look out this afternoon.
  12. if id known you needed more dogs id have give you a hand as my ratting today got cancelled.as i said via pm a few days back id like to tag along if you go again another time.
  13. you couldnt catch cold if i wasnt there
  14. i wonder if you can visit china and hunt them.
  15. I feel old mate. especially now that ive got some blond running around after rats in the middle of the night with me.I havent the energy to go launching myself at rats.These days i like to just stand in one spot and flick a lamp about.Shes got me moving pallets and junk about or prodding rats out of places only rats would hide in I couldnt help but wonder if we shouldnt be using our energy up in some other way at that time of night
  16. i saw these collars in use last year whilst boar hunting in the rainforests of oahu,hawaii. an american staffordshire took off with a young hound and they just kept going.the other bulldog and two hounds had taken a boar so we took that back up the mountain and waited for 40 minutes or so.the hound came back but the bull terrier was way off across the valley. we took the boar back to waikkiki where i was staying and my host dropped it off at the buyers house before going back and locating his dogs in a fancy millionaires block of big houses. apparentely they lose dogs regularly and they us
  17. nice one lacey thats some haul of rats in just a few weeks if i had the ratting you get id have terriers again.good going mate.
  18. Things are bad keeps and i spend more time ratting and rabbiting than you so you must be right in the shit :D Only joking keeps i respect the dedication you show travelling around for just a few rats.It must take alot of hard work keeping all your dogs active throughout the year,i know how difficult it is finding ratting in our area. your lucky getting the keeper to say thank you,the ones i get out with usually look at a pile of 12-20 rats and just ask"is that all youve got" before walking away in disgust muttering about useless dogs.
  19. if youve got that many you should tender it out to the hightest bidder and make a few quid. ill start at 200 quid
  20. Ive told her if she wants more ratting she needs to get in the motor and go and find some. mind if she does there will be no living with her
  21. You might be right mate She has started to tell me how we should go about catching the rats,where to enter buildings that sort of thing.It wont be long before she is going by herself and leaving me at home. Ive created a monster.
