    It’s sometimes good to put a second snare, 10-15 yds further down the run,

    Good on you JJm, it will be good for anyone starting out,

    Yes it is good half a body length in front, but it was his first time and to be fare, he did creep along side just as I set the sticks up, this is the point he picked up on the deer, I sat him then for a while till I had the shot I wanted, I wasn’t going to allow him to push in front too much, till I have the absolute trust in him, I had no lead on him, I had walked him into deer beds in the wood, in October, to learn his body language abit before we did it for real, his body language is very subtle, all you get is a look and a ear flick, and he starts to stiffen, but I feel that will co

    I agree, I have had a few Deer dogs, it is standard practice, and minimum wages, to give them a bit of liver, I was just chuffed with him I only got him in July, and the dogs just absorbed everything I have taught him, he was a bit gun shy at the start, but he’s gone from strength to strength, I think you can get a good measure of a dogs ability, when you are stalking, he ignored everything but what I wanted, he fell in behind and watched my every move, you can connect to a dog much better when stalking, in my opinion

    Not really it’s the manlicher with the PES silencer, they come along way down the barrel, it’s nicely balanced had it 15 yr now,

    He worked in at a lovely steady pace, and looked chuffed at his find ,he sat as good as gold while I gralloched it hopefully it’s the start of a good stalking partnership,

    Well back in July I picked up a young lab, nice dog who has had my attention ever since, I have invested a lot of time into steadying him, and getting his sit compliance where I wanted it, the dog has been a pleasure to train, and knowing he’s still young I am cautious what I expose him to, anyway I decided to take him for a stalk this morning as a training exercise, he’s really spatially aware, steady, and watches my hands intently, so I though he’s ready, so I left the lead in the car, And set off mid morning, to a spot I knew had a few does, I did a bit of sit work as I headed up the first

    And that’s what’s going to give the spring, far more strength, I have tried to make a spring from fence wire, and in truth it was not good, I was not aware of the lacing, which makes both wires pull together, thanks ET, I have the house In bits at the minute, but I am going to retry and make one

    He looks a very happy man with the dog under his arm, proud,as a man should be with a good working dog, under his arm , his face captures it for me, any man that doesn’t feel like that, isn’t worthy of the dog, in my opinion.

    Yep it’s surprising how far a pound a day went,

    I think I may have, but it’s a while ago now , I have just tried to find it, I asked on here months ago, and have been watching his website,

    Yep seems that way, I was hoping him being in the business of selling books, he would replenish his stock, at some point, I am only interested in the squirrel lure,
  18. 3175darren
    His dvd 2 is till out of stock, anyone know when he plans to get more,
  19. 3175darren

    That Looks smart mate, I need to get a day stalking munties, a change from roe, really good work that,
  22. 3175darren
    That’s perfectly normal mate, no anorak there, just don’t throw one off the wrist, that would be a tad worrying,
  23. 3175darren
    That’s why every man should have a comfy shed, at least you have some where to sleep,

    Well if I am truthful my 20 hushpower is a very good gun, sat in a hide or hedge it’s first class, but to walk up with it, its a cumbersome thing, I suggest the 410 will be more manoeuvrable, and quicker to use on a flushed rabbit, I hear them investarm 20 gauge over and unders, are very usable rather than the pump, but I have never shot one of them, so not qualified to say,
  25. 3175darren
    As above I have the moss berg 20 pump, hush power cracking gun, I will get the 410 though, to use in close proximity to the buildings/ cow sheds, over the winter when they are occupied, I don’t think you can beat 410 up close, with the 2 inch cartridge, which are in my opinion better than the 9mm garden gun, and through a moderated gun, are as quiet as you will ever get, I will be trading my side by side 410 this yr for a modified one,I suppose it all depends, on what you are wanting to shoot,
