  1. You will not get any beating this time of year. Show the Keeper you are interested in his or her work offer to do some of the carrying for them. I had 20 odd years in the game and take it from me when you are incubating and rearing a little bit of help will not go forgotten. Little Lloyd where abouts in Glos are you?
  2. There are many routes into the Gamekeeping industry but by far the best is via a keeper, at this time of the year a keeper will be glad of a helping hand, but be aware he will be working very long hours and will expect you do do quite a bit. If you say you will be there then be there you will not get two bites of the cherry!. Many Colleges are running Gamkeeping courses be sure to ask what the lecturers have done Gamekeeping wise in the past as many are teaching from books with no actuall expierince of the trade. There is an NVQ in Game and wildlife management that you can do at work, this is
  3. I will add my ten pence worth. If it is a young pup just away from the bitch and the rest of the litter, have a card board box with a good soft padding in the base by the side of your bed, put the pup into it a while BEFORE you intend to go to bed, ignor any noise, once your in bed and the pup starts to wimper whine or what ever just put your hand down to the pup, with in a few minutes they will go back to sleep, if they don't they they need to be let out to relieve themselves, no dog actually likes to crap in it's own nest, once they have been out, play with them for a few minutes, put them
  4.

  5. Put a lid on the bucket that has had a hole cut into it, with pheasant feed hoopers a 2 1/2inch hole just below the lid rim, a mark 4 fen inside will catch tree rat after tree rat. If your worried about water getting into the feed tape a piece of DPM over the hole squirrels will chew through the plastic to get in, this also gives you a good indicator of whether the trap needs to be reset.
  6. (commonly known as my exwife) Its still living at the moment but i'm sure some stalker on here could do us both a favour, if not i'd pay money to watch it corsed by a few lurchers! I spoke to a hitman about taking out my wife, he said he would put a bullet 2 inches above her left nipple. I didn't bother what good would shooting her in the knee cap do? :whistle:
  7. Loads of these aroud here, rodents got into the incubator shed and left DNA on some eggs!!!! :whistle:
  8. Where abouts are you based?
  9. I have been using quite a few air rifles in resent months to establish which one would be the best for my business as a professional pest controller, I have tried air arms, logan and just about most of the other makes, I have loaned the rifles from friends and gun suppliers, I have final settled on the BSA Ultra with the magazine. This little rifle is very light, a carbine and came with BSA scope and silencer, in all a very good combination. I have taken rabbit, pigeon, rats, squirrels and most species of corvid with this little gun. The gun is nicely finished for the price, it is very consist
  10. I have bought from Rabbit Hunter with no problems.
  11. Could lamp them I suppose but there is not enough ground really to run dogs or shoot, quite a few holes that are worked so should be good ferreting, I will be gassing at the end of next week or early the following. If some wants the ferreting you are welcome to it, the rabbits will go one way or another.
  12. Tallyho. Not doing the lights area but we have gassed all around there, this job is just off the main road at Gotherington, any use to you?
  13. The location of the site is Bishops Cleeve nr Cheltenham. Gassing is part of a Pest Control contract, it would be a shame just to gas the lot, but there is not enough time for me to have any real sport and the fact that I haven't had ferrets for 20 years doesn't help either.
  14. Actually I do have some contacts in the Bristol area, what are you looking for? One chap flies birds if you fancy bolting a few for him. He's based at Weston Super Mare.
  15. I have a rabbit gassing job to do outside Cheltenham, is there anyone Cheltenham Gloucester area that would like to ferret the area before we gas? PM me
  16. "Sold" I have two ESS bitches for sale one is 3 years old and the other 4 1/2. I retired from full time Gamekeeping 12 mths ago so the dogs are not getting the work they are used to, they are putting on a touch of weight. Both work to the whistle although a touch rusty, After half an hour or so they are back in hand and work well. They will make first class rough shooting dogs. I want them to stay together. £550 the pair pm any questions
  17. £17.99 for a brand new gatgun Here Fourth one down.
  18. its better to have loved and lost than to never have lost at all The correct saying is "its better to have loved and lost than never loved at all" :oops: The first one is by far the best!!!
  19. The night was as black as a badgers buttuck (Banwell1999) Said just after the clocks went back last year. "Tull be late early tomorra" (Banwell2006) "A lot of people finks I am stupid, I ain't one of um" (Finch 2000)
