And you didn't find one..........perhaps it tuned back Into a nomadic creature ? Perhaps I used the wrong terminology, I just meant they weren't an animal you're nailed on to find like the European badger -

They're nomadic, they clean dozens of sets out every night, I checked place after place looking for one but never found one. They don't establish a few big sets like our badgers, they drift around and clean out tiny rabbit holes. Have a look on YouTube, there's a few videos on there, even one with lads digging one out. -

I've been to Kansas, Wyoming, Iowa, Illinois and maybe more that I forgot, I hunted in creaks, hunted barns and stick piles, I had 90+ coons and a few possums none needed a tiny weak boned terrier to get the result. The little bitch in the picture is smaller than anything I saw work out there. -

I wish it was that easy over here, I can tell you that if it was you'd have lot more fuckwits over there ? The Greta thing wasn't anything aimed at your wife, I'm not that low, she's a climate activist, Google her name Greta Thunberg. If you haven't heard of her you're one lucky man.......that's the Trump affect, God bless him -

Id love to take your money, God knows I need it ? I trust the man I was talking to, that said, he only knows what he's being told by the next man. I wouldn't want to get him into a silly argument and ruin his day. What you're asking is impossible, the police are hardly going to give me a sworn statement for all to see, listing all of the people you're meant to have informed on.........not even if I ask nicely. We live thousands of miles away and America is A BIG PLACE, what are we meant to do, take out an add in the Washing post asking for people to come forward who've bought pu -

I know a few good Americans, I've had the pleasure of sharing a spade with, I've enjoyed their hospitality and given it back when I could. I don't tar you all with the same brush, but you've got to be honest, this and other threads don't paint a good picture. I spoke to one of your countrymen this morning, he says your pups are $1000 a piece all day long. I'm not getting into it, just letting you know what's being said your side of the pond. I personally don't care either way if you paid your hard earned cash, you have every right to do as you see fit........ -

That's 1of 1 FD, from what I'm seeing none of them are covering themselves in glory, childish nonsense that could be sorted in person. A yank buying terriers from the other side of the planet (Greta won't be happy) who's not in it for the money (but has a webpage with a puppy section) ! ABC who's willingness to run to the authorities with information ? not a good look ABC, regardless of your motives, I couldn't live with myself after, it shouldn't even cross your mind. And Mr Ashlock, grade A ass kisser who's along for the ride, he's been accused of so much it's all -
The terrier world would be in a better state if people stuck to such deals, sadly we all know they don't.

The state of terrier work is so bad you travelled half way around the world to buy the shit someone could manage without ! -

Pretty much proved his case for him, it's piss poor in the head, to up in the leg and it's got no bone. Don't get me wrong, if you're happy with the standard of work then who am I to knock the dog, you're the man feeding it and picking up it's shit -

I might be wrong but I'll stick my neck out and say the biggest we had in Wyoming was 34lb, a bull x found it in a storm drain and it had her speaking ! I missed it all but I was kept entertained on the coyotes -

I've forgotten mate, it was a ridiculous amount, over a dozen easily, I don't want to say for fear being a liar. They're not as easy as some blows hard say, they can hold and scratch with all your feet, they've got claws like talons and they can bite well enough. -

If you've seen the lads running lurchers from trucks over here then that's pretty much what happens with coyotes over there, I had some good fun in good company out there. -

Coons get anywhere they can, stick piles, barns, earth, pretty much anywhere a fox would get over here. I've seen a few decent digs lads have had over there but they're the exception not the rule. There's nothing on the scale of the massive old badger setts over there, the North American badger is nomadic, believe me I was looking. I found plenty of active looking places, all no more than a scratched out rabbit warren. Look on YouTube, there's all sorts of hunting in America on there.
