    Got to catch it first! Also true. But I don't think in this case it was the catching that was in question Fair point. When it comes to getting up close and personal with a pest species, they are more than capable ;0) But when it comes to a good old course of a critter, I find mine to have it's limitations, but as a vermin dog around the farm, he more than earns his corn

    Stand it in diet coke overnight. Sounds daft but does work. Try just heating the barrel rather than the choke tube as well Failing that, half choke in a semi is a good all-round choice anyway

    I had a collie xcur that no one wanted and most folk would have considered a bucket job. Took rabbits in good numbers, day or night. Even without the lamp. Had a knack for mugging roe in and around woodland and though I never intended her for fox, she hated them with a passion. A nose as good as most gundogs, and took plenty of feather too. Ugly as sin,but bar the usual cuts and lumps, Never got laid up. Around 23" and 40lbs. Went out on her shield at the age of nine

    I worked for 20 years in the pharmaceutical industry, eventually running my own company. I retired through ill health last year - is was bloody sick of it! Sold up and now just scratch about doing fencing, building, pest control etc. best decision I ever made. Just wish I'd done it years ago. If you do a job you always enjoy, you'll never work again

    I had one. It was traded undid the name of "Panther" RO71. Mine was in .177 which may explain the name difference. It was my first gun as a kid, circa 1982. Cannot remember much else othe than the cocking link was a weak spot at kept breaking due to being made of a soft alloy. Ended up swapping it for a flick knife!!!!!

      Freezers full, but when your little rabbiting dog is spotted running the buggers alongside the train, you have to draw a line somewhere

    Sorry mate but you actually believe that???? and what was her reason for not wanting you round? Not enough cups? You only need 2 cups 2 girls, one cup. Might just google that!!!!!!!

    8 profile views, but no named visitors?, look at you checking yourself out! As I said, do it quietlyIf the pup has already been selected, why last week were you considering a bulls x? For a man of your undoubted experience, there appears to be too much thinking going on

    BG, if you are serious in breeding this "type" of hunting dog, you may want to look at the laika type dogs. Not as bastardised as show dogs as malamutes and should more than have the minerals. Neither would be for me, but I wish you luck as you tread your own path. Keep it quite and come back in two years time and give us an unbiased appraisal

    What you going to feed this mal x? Not fecking glacier mints, 'cos they choke on foxes

    I'm running a few fenns traps in wooden tunnels around the edge of a couple of some of our ponds. There are signs of mink and rats around. over the last month or so I have caught a few rats and a mink, but I know there are more to be had. They appear to be using the tunnels, but skipping the trigger plate. Those that have been caught have been arse grabbed by the trap and only about half of them are dead in the trap. The trap is set light and the trigger plate is set just below or level with the water line. Any tips on improving the setup would be greatly appreciated, Cheers, Trench

    I've a similar bred dog, and whilst he's not worked out to open doors himself. When he spies something on the back fields through the kitchen door, he goes and wakes up the collie asleep in the boot room and gets him to let him out.

    Give it a piece of ginger biscuit, my old collie x was like that and it worked for me

    Sounds like she is showing good promise Socks. Watch them collie bred dogs though, mine let themselves out the house to track roe.

    The wire can get bundled up in hay/silage and is known to have killed livestock. They are an accident waiting to happen
