Just to add i am just outside Lincoln and am open to offers on one or both.. could arrange a courier but would prefer cash on collection if poss.. Cheers Jody

Hi... If anyones after any i have a couple of pedal action type fox cage traps for sale. They were bought from the game fair a couple of years ago and are not home made. They are listed on ebay - item number 170671000383 Cheers Jody

Been using aniseed oil mixed with veg oil and sprayed into wheat when filling the feeders, and def think it makes a difference... an old boy told me the other day that cummin oil was better. Anyone tried it? would an Aniseed/Cummin mix be the dogs???

Was told by BF last year when i bought mine that they were bringing out a smaller collar sometime about now, if it passed field tests..?? Not that ive had any trouble with the old one but it is a big old fella..

Seen a hairless pussy before but never a terrier... although some were dog rough!!

The most expensive part of the BF kit is the box anyway, so when they release the new one you wont be forking out 300 bar again.... their existing collar is 70 quid on its own, so even if their replacment is slightly dearer its still a cheap sport (have you bought cartridges lately!!)... and like harddigging says its handy to have a spare especially if the new one is rechargeable.. you can garantee there's going to be a time when you charge it all night then relise in the morning you put the wrong plug in! My first season with the BF and they really are as good as people say.... Jody

Just be careful if your drains are linked to the main sewer, rats may come up the pipes and give one of your dogs a nasty nip!! Seriously though, make sure you've put enough angle on the surrounding concrete to drain into it.... there's a patch in mine that stands in water and it really does my head in every time i see it... and i dont live in it!!! Jody

I've just realised why shouldnt have bunked off German at school!!! Cheers for your replies Jody

Struggle for earths on my shoot even though theres plenty of foxes.... the problem is the dykes are dug out every year so your always a one hit wonder.... theres also a big national trust wood that joins onto my wood which is another nightmare.. so i planned to put in some artificials both in my wood boundries and in areas of the farm which dont get jcb'd... What i wanted to know from anyone who has first hand knowledge is it bolox that plastic dont hold foxes?? ive been told that the ribbed stuff thats black on the outside and bright blue in the middle is bang on because it holds heat well.

I may be wrong but i thought the round begins to drop as soon as it leaves the barrel..obviously not dropping as much for the first 50 yards as it does between 50 - 100, but still dropping... otherwise the rate at which it drops depends on what your shooting... ie a yellowjacket is a powerfull load so will drop less over a given range than a sonic etc.. Jody

Hi... If anyones after a Deben mk3 i've just put mine on ebay.. item number 170179986929.. with two collars... I've always dug bang on with it.. but to be fair the beeping does my tits in and when everyone rekons Bellman and Flints are the bollocks then i had to get one... only had one dig with it (a thick necked dog the morning after ricky lost) but i was spot on both holes i dug...yes TWO holes!! who'd admitt it eh?? Anyway there's no reserve and it saves having your eye out buying a new'un... Jody

I think a lot of people who call their dogs named lines in their blood maybe have a brothers uncle three generations back that once shagged a named sisters friend.. what i'm saying is what % of nuttals or gould etc are actually 100% line blood.. not many i bet not knocking the lads who have spent a lot of time and thought into getting good lines just mean that for every one of you there's hundreds thinking they've got a pure dog but haven't

higgins...was told by the lad at BF when i ordered a kit on thursday... sounded like he knew what he was talking about to be fair... i know they're pricey but you get what you pay for... at least someones investing their money in developing the option for us, people dont have to buy it... i'd rather have the option to spend a few quid and get something good than be at a point where companies think terrier work is as good as banned so the only thing we can do is carry on using knockers... New kit was delivered sat morning... been out excited for it's first un this morning but as much as i look
