  1. Whats the difference in digging and baiting? Digging is a form o hunting, baiting is putting an animal into a situation where it isnt able to use its natural ability to evade the 'hunter'. e.g. ferreting is a form of hunting, if the ferret kills the rabbit below ground then thats part of the hunt. Taking a ferreted rabbit then putting it in a box with a ferret to let the ferret kill it is baiting. What i was trying to say in my original post is that the quarry is still killed by the ferret/terrier (depending on the the quarry) but there is a massive differnce morally between a hunti
  2. couldent agree more mate weather you dig/ ferret /shoot or fish we shouldent knock another mans sport .hunting is hunting and we should all stick together as one EXACTLY! theres a very fine line between baiting and digging, but a massive moral/ethical one. Its amazing how so many fellow hunters go ferreting or shooting and call terriermen all sorts. Ive met guns while out beating that openly voice how digging is cruel and terriermen are barbaric sickos and yet when a bird is pricked they couldnt give a shit about it if it takes any effort to find the bird. f*****g sickens me!
  3. few nice pike there, the other fish is a chub, about average stamp for a chub in most rivers. Ive got a pikeing trip planned before the seasons over with a few good mates, its the only fish i ever fish for, bit more exciting than reeling in silvers and im not keen on the current carping craze personally.
  4. Aload of antis at nott's dog track on friday at the entrance protesting. Police were there to make sure everythig went down 'smoothly' lol. They cant do f**k all with hunting anymore, shooting seasons over, so they are getting itchy and want someone else to irritate. Oh and to top the night off, i picked the winner of every race i was there for except the one i had a bloody bet on, the dog came last by bowt 15 fukin lengths!
  5. I just use a small game bag type bag for my nets and to carry the rabbits i use a seatbelt strap, just leg em onto it
  6. That sounds spot on, prabably look into it nearer the time for the summer after we graduate, thanks. Fraggle, i think for the easter we might do that. ill have to make a trip up that way one weekend soonish with a mate and have a look around. Any body else got any suggestion, keep em coming
  7. Im planning a camping trip over the easter period for a few of my mates from uni and had planned just to camp locally but suggested camping on the coast actually on the beach, they all loved the idea so now im kinda commited to sorting it out. Does any one know of any decent beaches you can camp on, preferably lincolnshire but any suggestions are welcome? Or even a good lake to camp by, somewhere we can go swimming, have a fire at night etc. Im not one to leave mess and the site is left as found, fire pits buried etc
  8. its a terrible feeling watching them run into danger, the whole world goes silent as you wait helpless. But for a dog i cant imagine a much better way to go, in the heat of the chase, nothing but catching that fox on its mind, 110% comitment to the hunt, quick death. If im to die prematurely then i hope im so lucky. really sorry for your loss pal

    can i?

    If we are being really fussy the actual units are (ft lbs), not (ft/lbs) or (fps) etc and they are units of energy not pressure. Just to clear things up Fussy a$$ !!
  10. I think some sort of register is a better idea, not a licence. Any one that buys an air rifle from a dealer has to register it and so does the dealer and whenever an airgun is sold second hand details passed on like with shotys and rifles. I know there will be alot of airguns under the raidar for a while but its better than nothing and lets face it the sort of idiots that ruin this sport arnt 'hard core' criminals, just fuckwits, so they dont aquire the airguns through non legitimate means, they buy one off of their mate down the street or more often than not go to their local airgun shop.

    Hares

    I think the big question youv'e got to ask yourself is why are there no hares there already? And when you know the answer, do something about it. No point sending hares onto land where they will be shot, heavily predated, poached or have poor diet etc etc......
  13. Well i wont be doing jack shit, because im single.... but for those lads that arnt doing anything for their missus, remember 'steak n blowjob' day is in a month, so i should get your arse in gear fellas........
  14. i use lamb castration rings, bought a pack from central wool growers
  15. I understand your point, however....... pig hunting with dogs in that manor is the reality of big game hunting with dogs, its probably one of the oldest forms of hunting and a proper 'back to basics' natural form of hunting. Wild dogs do it the same way only they kill the beast themselves in a very gory manor. the hunter finishes the pig as humanley and fast as possible and a damn site more humanely than the pig would die if beeing hunted by a wild predator. i dont really know feck all about this form of hunting but i find it fascinating. i cant stand cruelty either pal, but theres cru
  16. The 2 on the right are border x lakey The fox was flushed from cover by them and shot, all 3 do the job below ground as well.
  17. not very technical but i just fill the tank with 2 stroke and give it an extra 'glug' or 2 of oil. works for me

  19. Get me one that comes with Keeley Hazell and name your price pal!.................
  20. Wish rabbits fetched that! Good shooting and nice to make a few quid as well. Ive been mesmerised for bloody ages with that vid clip....... :tongue4: :blush:
  21. You will need a screw stud in the Butt, but there is a special attachment that goes under the screw fitting on the fore stock so that just slips on or off. Thats what i thought but didnt know how to word it. Do you know where i could get or order one from? Cheers for the info pal
  22. I'm thinking of fitting a sling to my semi-auto with quick detatch studs so i can use the same sling as on my air rifle. Is it a simple job like with an air rifle or is it any different? Cheers
  23. You read Darcy's 'Now thats what i call terrier work'? p***y off here has a short story about the trials in there
  24. Any form of hunting with dogs, weather its coursing with lurchers, working a spaniel through cover crop looking for a runner or digging down to terrier baying like thunder, great satisfaction seeing a dog do its job bloody well. But saying that i mostly ferret, lol.
