a lot of the bulls i´ve seen have a very narrow lower jaw, so narrow that the bottom canines are on the inside of the upper teeth. My own mini bull have a straighter profile than most and a better bite/wider jaw. Do any of you find that a straighter profile gives a better bite/better jaw or is it coincidental?

could you put up a pic of your terrier/hound-mix and maybe tell us a little about him? my 3/4 terrier 1/4 hound stands at about 13 1/2 inches high ,very spannable ,he will hunt all quarry hard and fast with a lot of noise ,he has been to ground half a dozen times so far and has bolted very well,same again with a lot of noise,,he is yet to be dug to ,he also will work rock spots but as yet to find,great member of my team,few pics,, brilliant, thanks for sharing!

did you remove your pic Wolfy?can´t see any spade.... my spade needs a new paintjob soon, good to see its wearing off though the badger on the spade is the ninth animal dug from that spot.

Hi Wolfy, all the best to you to.

to be honest bud ,my veg patch isnt the biggest ,but it takes a lot of looking after (keeping weeds down ,watering ect) ,and at the moment moment it gives me a lot of pleasure( as a hobby) ,i could in theory extend to 4x the size ,but then that brings other problems ,freezer aint going to be big enough for a start ,then just the work load alone would be so time consuming ,also because of the climate being so unpredictable and having such a short growing season you would be under pressure from the start , i would love to give it a real go ( i would need more land) but its just never going to ha

Do you have a picture of the spears you use?

i´m not talking about whats most efficient and i´m definatly not saying you have to kill everything you hunt. i did live-trapping for one season but i had such a hard time despatching them in the traps that i stopped, but yeah trapping is the most efficient way. the predator-population here is unnaturally large and should be hunted hard, if it was small and fragile i wouldnt hunt them.

on the green isles were you are hardly allowed to hunt foxes with dogs you prefer a dog that stays till dug, even when a fox in many cases can be bolted, you release foxes after a good dig and especially vixens are let run to secure your sport for next season. how do you think this looks to an outsider? what does this do to your image as gamekeepers? i love to shoot a fox in front of hounds, if they go to ground i´ll dig them out and shoot them, but only if they dont bolt. i´m especially glad if its a vixen that is shot or a sow that is dug out since this means fewer predators next year

Good read,made me want to get out tomorrow.

those are good sized badgers waz,wouldnt mind having a bitch like that;-)
-
Nice!i never find foxes to ground,unless theres a hound or two involved

just finished reading american beagling by old kickapoo, and i´m waiting for beagling by j.i. lloyd, hints on beagling by john pawle and the new beagle by a. and j.musladin. anybody read these or others on the subject? where do you buy books? mart

i´m hooked, got a small set up right now with a few koi-fish. gonna step it up a notch next spring in my greenhouse with trouts. just read sylvia bernsteins book, aquaponic gardening, very good book that seems to hold most of the answers. and about the fish waste, all agriculture is fueled by someones feces

if you go on any of the trapping supply webshops you can buy bear or bobcat urine, it works on the roedeers around here. -
how about adding a bluetick with a garmin astro to your little pack? we´ve got a bluetick x russian to start this season, looking forward to the first snowfall

thanks, its birch.

this is my take on the trad. scandi "multitool". i wanted a knife for skinning, so i chose a short blade, but i´ll probably wear this everyday. a few imperfections in the sheath but they´ll disappear with use, it is´nt finished untill it gets a bit of wear and tear.

tjena yngve, hurricane might be a strange dude, but he does sell pups, it´ll cost you 600 pounds and a trip to skaane. if you want to import a digging dog, patterdale or any other breed, go to finland thats my advice. close to home and the dogs there get tested on the same quarry you´ll dig in sweden.
-
thanks lads regarding the mother, i think it mostly comes down to how the owner does things when he hunts, he uses a single hound, he´s quiet around the earth etc. guess the fox rather take his chances with the hound on top then the terrier below.

well, shes been coming along slower than i first thought she would but i think she might get there in the end. still not hunting season here, but was asked to help a guy who had obtained permission to get rid of a badger. only a 20min dig but that is as good a start as i could hope for, she bit trough her leash twice to get to it while we were skinning it (not exactly strong stuffs gear but still funny) btw i´ve had her at one show so far and she was placed last

so, if a terrier doesnt let a badger pass him in the tube, he´s never met a hard badger? but, if a terrier doesnt let a badger pass him in the tube, he´s a proper bred working terrier? boy, the thl-crowd sure is hard to please.....

your posts still contradict them selves liam, but i really dont care, the reason for starting this topic in the first place is a lost cause so i´ll just let it go. the video is three years old and a lot has happend since then. deepest dig i´ve had is just under 6 feet and i dont think i´ll find anything a lot deeper than that around here due to the lay of the land. i promise to post about him when he fails.
