  1. I dont want to imagine what happens when they kill underground, a basic lack of respect for the animal is the problem as well as a limited understanding of the species basic needs Is the word you're hunting for "clueless", ferretlove?
  2. You either haven't got a clue Walsher,or you are having a wind up How many times are you going to contradict yourself on the one thread? Why do you bother feeding the odd rabbit if bread and milk sops are the real deal? I take it you are a "follower" rather than a leader going by your quote above. Because EVERYONE ELSE does it is no reason for you to do it. It seems that EVERYONE ELSE on this forum feeds meat so I take it you being a "follower" will be feeding meat from now on.
  3. Mostly rabbits but also pigeons, crows, rooks,fish heads and tails,all natural NEVER BREAD AND MILK Never been able to see the value to feeding a ferret bread and milk.
  4. The man that reared greyhound pups for me in Ireland wouldn't put them out into the paddocks untill they were a certain age.When I asked why he told me it was because he'd lost the odd pup to foxes in the past. There is no doubt that a fox could kill a young pup easily if it wanted,so it isn't such a stupid question as you might think.
  5. Yeah shredded paper will be fine hotdog.
  6. Crackin' pics W H, that pup of yours is coming on great.
  7. During the winter months we played chap door run with a twist,we would get some newspaper open it up and put some shite in the middle,[usually dog shite,but if you where needing to go] Then we would scrunch the paper up over the top off it,place it on the doorstep,set it on fire,chap the door and run.Usually when the home owner opened the door and seen the lighted newspaper they automatically started jumping up and down on it to try and put the flames out A couple of seconds after they'd caught a wiff of the shite you'd hear them roar "you dirty b*****ds"
  8. Crow bangers,they bring back some memories When we managed to get our hands on some crow bangers we'd ask our mates if they wanted to go for a mooch in the countryside. My mate would distract the others while I went on ahead and placed a banger in the middle of a cow patt after I lit the fuse I shouted back to the others to come and see a curlews nest or other such thing,When they asked where it was I told them "you can't miss it,it's at the side of that cow patt". My mate knowing the plot would lag behind kidding on he was tying his laces and if the timing was right, "BANG"
  9. If you are happy with your dogs ferret that's all that matters There will always be someone out there having a pop Try to ignore them
  10. Just read the thread "JEALOUSY" regarding Minshaw lurchers and was hoping someone could tell me what way a Minshaw is bred and what are they worked on. I am only asking out of interest,so would prefer it if this thread didn't degenorate into another slagging match.
  11. Yesterday I was asked to make a dent in the rabbit population on a small acre estate that I have full permission on.I was in need of dog and ferret food so I readily agreed to have a walk round after tea with my mate Tam. There were a lot of rabbits about and if truth be told both of us didn't shoot to clever We ended up with 15 rabbits which was ok but both missed a few Just over the march dyke we noticed quite a few rabbits with mixy It usually starts to show in August on this patch but it seems as if it's early this year. On the way home Tam was telling me he had to re
  12. Spotted this rabbit when I was out after the rain went off today,there is a few this colour around here.
  13. I had an Original 45 years ago with just the iron sights killed a lot of rabbits and rooks with it If I could I'd have another tomorrow. Also owned a HW97 more recently that I thought was great The only downside being the weight,too heavy for my likeing. The last springer I shot was my mates Air Arms Pro Sport in .177 very accurate

    Bolting rabbits for the lurcher.
  16. Yeah,I would agree with both SJM and Snoopdog,chances are the dog will do it from now untill eternity.It might not yapp on every rabbit,maybe only one in three or one in four,but i'm pretty sure it will open up again. There are no reasons for it as far as I can see I've experienced it myself in the not too distant past.I had a half cross collie/greyhound that I started off on the lamp when he was 10 months and he took off right from the start,he just seemed a natural Well "Monty" must have had about 60 rabbits to his name,and missed a few more and there was never a squeak out o
  17. Well done mate,it's good to be out and about early doors Pups doing well what age is it now?
  18. No need to be offensive mate Just say I don't know
  19. Took the camera with me when I took the pup out and came across this butterfly? I'm a long way off being up to scratch with these so can anyone tell me what it is?
