  1. I make it 6/16 grey, 5/16 bull and 5/16 whip??
  2. Couple of seasons ago I was regularly doing over 1000 miles a week, hunting in several different counties around the country over the week. These days our total mileage has dropped off a lot, but still our drive for a day or nights hunting is a pretty standard 200 miles each time. Such is life.
  3. On average 3 to 4 days a week. Interestingly those 3 to 4 days are usually the ones where I need to interact with society!
  4. Thl classic. We laughed a lot.
  5. I got high or very high in everything but borderline and histrionic! Is that bad?
  6. Been all over country, I'd say its not been the best year. The summer promised a better season than materialised. Still caught enough to keep freezers full and make a bit of coin. But here's hoping next year is better. But then I say that every year!
  7. Axe Fire steel Diving mask Big sheet of copper Good dog
  8. Leeview I was talking about choosing a sire for a dog, not buying a pup. As you ask however, I wanted a whippet, I didn't know anyone breeding any litters and had the fortune to see some dogs he had bred work, and there was a repeat mating out of two dogs that had produced animals I rated ...... And after thoroughly quizzing the man I took a chance. Right or wrong, it worked out for me. I'm not knocking folks choice of sire or anything else. I just find it interesting that some dogs seem to have a very good marketing campaign, and usually not one led by their owners. Similar with breed
  9. I'd pick a good axe / hatchet over a knife any day ..... Way more versatile!
  10. Good posts. But I agree with tomo that some dogs are just harder mouthed than others ...
  11. Some good points and I agree that sometimes you have to take folks word, if you trust them and value their judgement. But what I see a lot in here is folk saying that a dog is brilliant because they have seen other folk who they don't know and who have also never seen the dog say its brilliant on here.... And that lot are only bigging the dog up because thy heard on here it was a good dog....... Internet legends.
  12. How come folk recommend and rave about certain dogs to put over bitches...... That they have never actually seen work? See it a lot in here, folk saying use x dog or x dog would throw great pups for a particular job..... It's pure guess work and often way off the mark!
  13. Calm down pal was a joke.....I enjoy my gun license to much to lose it due to poaching a few rabbits....the day getting massive numbers is more important to me than enjoying a day out is the day I'll quit....I'm happy enough having a plod about and getting 1 or 2 for the pot..... That wasn't a dig mate! It's just once an area gets well known on here.......it tends to go down hill lol. I don't live there so it's not my problem, but from what I've heard from the lads that live up there.... It's lost it's shine.
  14. You an everyone else..... Half the reason it's getting shit up there .....
  15. Why do folk think there is a certain mythical percentage or x that will do a job or quarry??? I regularly hunt and flush big woodland with dogs. I've seen a variety do it with skill, collie x's, bull x's, beddy x's, lots of various types of lurcher x lurcher bred dogs, even a whippet. It's more about the drive and brains of the dog, and how you bring it up and on. Obviously the job you have in mind in the woods, requires a dog of a certain weight and size, but I'd always go for a sturdy, shorter dog than a racier taller one. If that makes sense. Durability over speed! And nose is a
  16. I bet those Woodcock play hell on the golf course You do know it's illegal to lamp birds???
  17. Sorry for your loss mate, I hope your other half recovers from it. RIP Pickle.
  18. They aren't a push over either. . . Lad local to me lost a terrier out foxing, the boar ATE it.
  19. Looks like fun mate, nice photos. We bushed out a tusker today, was a little emotional
  20. You missed this lads! She wrote a song!
  21. I think those two guys should be hugely commended! Keeping calm while some one is abusing you, and making gross allegations is tough. But they kept their cool, even in the face of her hysteria and got on with the job in hand. My favourite bit was the guy quite clearly merely informing her that his gun was loaded and that she should stay back. . . . which she decided to take as a death threat??? What a pathetic, deluded, waste of air that women is! Why the hell can't they put their effort into something meaningful??? Or at the very least try to get an accurate understanding of what
  22. Those plastic cat boxes. . . . with the mesh at the front and a handle on top. If away working, all they want to do when in the box is sleep!
  23. Gun dogs that kill birds. . . . . not really gun dogs. Just a fecking liability. The spaniels here wouldn't kill ANYTHING. . . . . it doesn't matter if they have met it before or not. . . . they DO NOT chase and they DO NOT kill. . . . . . I hope it's resolved mate, arse holes like that deserve a slap.
