    Newest addition

    Cheers The nurse reckons 3 weeks in special care then he should come home but at the moment he needs a little help breathing they said his weight is good and everything else is ok
  2. Some of the lads on here already know but here is my latest addition he was born at 12.29pm on Friday and weighs 3lb9oz he is 7 weeks early but doing well he is called Henry. He is bred Mackam X N,Yorks
  3. To be honest mate on 50 acres as you have I would set up 10-15 feeding stations with straw a hopper and access to water to hold any "wild" birds then just spend time on vermin.Have a trap line you check on a night and just enjoy it for what it is rather than invest a heap of time and money looking after a handful of pheasants that you may or may not get a return on
  4. A good dog man knows when a dog has jacked I wonder how many poor dog men have jacked on a good dog??
  5. Cant find it on BBCI Player... anyone have a link....??? Does it not have to air on the telly before it's put on Iplayer?
  6. If you have sky its on channel 990 at 9pm Tuesday
  7. I'm all for that so long as it doesn't put an honest man out of work :thumbs:
  8. nip to your nearest game farm the now and its omeletts all round
  9. LOL I bet when Lab gets here it will be duck on the menu :laugh:

  11. Lol let them have it and send not 1 penny north again I can't believe that the amount that Scotland produces can come any where near to what it costs us to keep you just how many people work in the private sector in scotland will their tax support the country?
  12. maybe a proper poll would be to ask the English as to whether the scots should leave the union and pay their own way :whistling:
  13. Take the f****r to court any real mate would get you a new pair without thinking about it cause that's what real mates do it don't mater that they where stolen they where in his care at the time so its his problem
  14. pheasants will wonder further for water than anything else so make sure you have a good regular supply of clean water for them,plenty of hoppers and as lab says good food,make sure you have a good elec fence round your pen and that the popholes are big enough for an adult bird to enter you need to establish the pen as home to the birds so it is important for the first few weeks to keep them tight and keep walking them back into the pen try not to run the dog into them too much as they are more likely to walk back to the pen than fly in the early days, It is a good idea to have the wings clipp
  15. mk4s..... "Get that safety 'on' boy!!!.............."..... Lol yeah he is a bit small for setting them yet but he is handy for sending halfway up the hills to check if they have sprung
  16. Dan, that is the spitting image of my dog...... the bitch i mentioned was like that one aswell but she was a tan colour an probably a bit heavier il get some pics up soon what was in your dog dan? He was 3/4 grey 1/4 collie x f1 beddy/whippet stood about 24tts
  17. I am surprised I thought hornady brass was better than that I use nosler custom and lapua have never had a cracked one but that's not to say it can't happen,With the Remington brass I used to use it was common for the flash hole to be out of centre,the primer pockets be inconsistent and for the necks to be miss shaped so changed to the lap and nosler both seem very consistent and well manufactured.
  18. http://www.elgeeco.co.uk/wpigeon.html On their vid looks like it works
  19. I know what it's like mate on my last estate most of it was right to roam and the rest had more footpaths then a town centre we had 2 villages within the shoot and the people with dogs just walked anywhere it was all leased and the walkers would just ask the farmers and would get the nod to walk where they wanted I used to pull my hair out it got to the point where you couldn't trap or shoot with a rifle in the end I couldn't deal with it and moved I know thats not much help mate but there is just no way round it
  20. To be honest lab the timing isn't too bad I don't have to think about the heap of poults arriving in the second week of July and sorting the crops only really means showing the contractors round and running seed out to them,The pens are already up together so its just check my trap lines and teach the 3 year old boy how to set wires, mk4's and larsens
  21. Was keeping out of this but can no longer! WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT THE f**k UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its obvious you know not alot and have got all your info from a book or hear say. if every keeper had a bloody terrier, why does my f*****g phone stop for call outs, most keepers have better things to do than waste a day digging a bloody hole to a terrier!
