  1. I have a set of swarovski 8.5 x 42 EL worth every penny. My mate had a set of Docter 8 x 30 they were good but still nothing on the swarovski, we actually lost his binos out the Landrover well we couldnt think what happened to them may the truth be told. Then one morning after about 3 months we were out feeding the partridges and as we where climbing up a very steep banking that we did everyday since the start of the season and we lost a drum of water out the back he jumped out to pick it up and what did he find in the bottem of the rut but his binos, three months of being driven over 2 to

  7. Yeah I had people from there coming to see me mate when I worked in Ayrshire but then I think the colleges split up. I think that if someone drops off the course you may get a start but try all the colleges mate as one might have a place better to have your fingers in a few pies no point sitting waiting on the phone call phone around. You have a better chance of getting a job with qualifications these days mate. Regards highlander
  8. Hi kreet Im a fully qualified keeper did 4 years at The North Highland College in Thurso. If you are intrested in getting in to keepering give them a call at the college and they will put you on to John Waters or Richard Mcnicol the tutors. You would be able to do the National Certificate (NC) and then to progress on to the Higher National Certificate (HNC) as the first 2 years are Skill seekers and you need to be 16 so counts you out. If you want contact details give me a pm and I will pass on the details or if you need advice. Regards highlander.

  11. Never posted last night as I was in late and have been at the vets all day. Went lamping last night with Zak and Ziggy. Took the keepering student from the local estate out for a run with the dogs last night. We went up to an estate were my mate is the keeper we had a quick run out with the lamp and rifle for a fox and shot one in the first park . Then we saw blue flashing lights up the hill someone had put there car off the road we took a run up no sign of anyone then people apeared with a trailor so I used the winch on the front of the truck to pull the car up the bank. We then headed off

  14. No alimac I didnt must admit if there was a way to go that wouldnt have been the nicest ( hitting it with axe) I think what it got was as good a sendoff as anyone could ask for she didnt know what hit it. On the other hand Ive got one at the moment that when I eventually get the B**tard I will hit it over the head with the axe driving me crazy just stays out of range or gets in amongst sheep its time will come and I will be there to see it in to the next world. Regards highlander.
