    Hares

    Born Hunter replied to foxfan's topic in General Talk

    Anybody know much about hare conservation? What things can be done to help local populationsn etc. Round my way we are not short of them but in some areas there are very few. Obvious things like, predator control and different farm management practices, but what else?

    Its a good do, ive been the past few years as its just up the road, small but full of lurchers terriers and working dog men.

    Does anyone know exactly why there was bountys for dead foxes? Im assuming possibly during the war to protect valuable meat supplies, farm stock and game etc.
  5. Born Hunter
    Do you not have trouble with mites etc?

    Used quite a lot on the continent, not so much here. The problem you have with SG's is that they are useless over about 10 yards. AAA are a bit small, so you have SSG and Sp. SG in between which could be used in an emergency. Nice to have them bowl over on first go though ah right, just a thought from my 'inexperienced' head. Just thought if i had a 300lb boar charging at me with 4 inch tusks i would probably rather have a shotty handy than rely on having to place a shot from a rifle just right. Although, saying that if i had a choice i would have half a dozen dogo argintinos

    Not really knowing jack shit on the matter, so tell me to feck off if this is a daft comment. With whats been said about the danger a wounded boar, would it be prudent when stalking boar to have a mate handy with a 12 bore loaded with buck shot, something like SG or at least AAA? Also arn't there rifle shotgun combos that would be perfect for such a situation? I would imagine a rushed shot on a charging boar wouldn't be the safest or a deffinate stopper but a shotgun would be ideal.

    Are you implying that there isn't a difference?
  9. Born Hunter
    deffinately worth posting about. But i dont think it would have mattered weather they were badger baiters, badger diggers or just average terriermen who abide fully by the law. In the publics eye all terriermen are just a bunch of 'badger baiters', alot of fellow fieldsportsmen even snarl and talk badly of terriermen! Badger digging, baiting, fox work, whats the difference????? We all know theres a hell of a difference but to the public we are all a bunch of baiters!

    Thats whats needed, decent lines of beddygrey to beddygrey, hope you carry on the line. atb

    thats the problem mate, thats why you should go for a 2nd generation or a 3rd generation etc because then the mam and dads both beddy greys and proven theirselfs. Thats exactly what im looking for, a beddygrey to beddy grey bred pup, but its hard enough finding a decent first cross where you know the parents are worthy of breeding nevermind a line bred beddygrey pup. If i cant find that breeding then im thinking of beddygrey x wheatongrey or beddygrey x deergrey or even beddygrey crossed to a racey bullgrey. Just really want the great nose and gameness of the beddy without sacrificing g

    Just to add my bit. Surely personel preference is irelavant with such a matter, the decision should be based on does the dog need a docked tail for the work its intended for in your experience (but of course the decision is often made for you by the breeder). I understand on a behavioural (sp) basis the tail is used by dogs to communicate as part of the overall body language and having a docked tail is beleived to sometimes cause 'trouble' as the body language is miss read by other dogs. Me, personally i would have it docked just to be on the safe side as ive seen plenty of split open tail

    To shoot someones dog even though they are poaching will bring out some VERY strong emotions, you had better be bloody sure by shooting their dog you had no other choice and that that will end all the trouble, because shoot the wrong sort of blokes dog and you may wish you didn't. This isn't a 'well ard poacher' talking, its common sense and a little wisdom (a little as im not old enough to have alot, lol). Also i beleive that not so long back there was a case where a keeper/farmer shot a poachers dog and ended up getting prosecuted himself.

    Bugger off, that the f**k do you know? No, It's not, and no, he didn't. Yeh you know best... not gonna argue

    Agree, look at LDR's dog, won the lamping comp and as i understand that was a rescue. Well done pal, you will have to let us all know how she fairs this coming season

    The blatant lack of respect some people have for animals, particularly the animals they hunt is pretty f*****g sad. If its a pest then by all means kill it but i think in this case the lad did right. Well done tallyho, top man

    Same sorta thing for me, doesn't recognise my surname, not surprising though, its not common at all.

    Back in the days of the British empire i beleive they had a gun for that sorta stuff, i read about it in the countrymans weekly a while back. Sawn off 20bore shotgun, they called it the 'wog stopper' (and no im not having a wind up or beeing racist). Its name was a sort of unoficial term becuase they were a big hit with explorers and the like who went to africa for defence against the native peoples.

    So they're encouraging the nutters even more? What's worse, having the cops around or being plagued by those freaks thinking they are duty bound to 'gather' evidence because the powers at be won't do it? Its ridiculous! Relying on the antis to provide evidence, so they are basically encouraging them to tresspass and cause situations where 2 completely oposite groups of very passionate and 'emotional' people meet............ heads are gonna role!!! Christ all fecking mighty, is 1 death not enough?? On a side note, i read in the sporting shooter mag today about cumbrian police for

    f*****g gutted for ya pal, i hate reading these threads. Only positive is that shes not in the hands of the scum that took her, i would sooner shoot a dog than let dog theiving scum have it, god knows how the stolen dogs are treated. Im getting a pup in the not to distant future and im shitting bricks about having to kennel it. The kennel wont be all that well hidden from the public view but i wont have a working dog around the house for my family to f**k up. Only positive is my window will overlook the kennel and ill have a few security precautions to hopefully make life hard for anyone that

    For all the dog work on the shoot, we use a 110 landy, proper work horse that thing, roof rack on and a half decent set of offroad tyres, pulls the beaters wagon, terriers and digging gear in the back, dug/shot fox/game on top, does the job for us in lincs anyway. Quads are another favourite among my mates
