  1. I have never cooked partridge before and have no idea how to cook it, however, Dorris was out until late, not a lot in the fridge, and a brace of partridges from last Saturday. Anyhow, I prepared and trussed the birds, wanged them in a cassarole dish, threw in some whole mushrooms, a couple of small onions off the allotment, a few cloves of chopped garlic, a couple small potatoes, sprinkled with salt, black pepper, dried parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and a tin of carling.............cooked it for about and hour....... and to my utter amazment it turned out bloody lovely!!!!!!! I do
  2. good news....farmers are reluctnat to allow dogd on nowadays what with all the cowboys about........good you. As someone said, keep it to yourself, there's nothing worse than someone boomer - ranging you permission after you've been good enough to take them on
  3. got to agree there....there's no substitute for good basic training for. On the flip side...if the dog gets zapped everytime its has a run....this will only deter it form running again!!!! so to answer you question...........I dont think it will work
  4. good stuff...I know from experience that they can be difficult to trap. Swollen rivers will push them out to other areas for sure
  5. Its makes me chuckle how folk on here talk about catching foxes pre ban like it was normal practice I've ran dogs for a good few years now, and never owned nor seen one that caught red with any sort of consistancy - and I have been around some belters over the years. Im not saying they arent about - only I haven't seen them. Personally I think the post was a non-brainer to start with, anyone who's done a bit, will know how quick a fit red-lad can be, and how they can disappear in a lamp in a milli-second. .............I suppose its rather like asking if a golden eagle could catch
  6. :thumbs: Where are they coming in from?.....Is it possible toproof the building against them?
  7. It could be a deep routed problem, started in early puppy hood. You have had him from 6 months old so it could be that the previous owner had him crate-bound for long periods of time, which has caused the anxiety.....on the other hand, he may never have been in a crate until you got him, and the stress from suddenly being confined, could have caused the problem. Why do you crate the dog?...is he badly behaved?....a chewer?..........not house trained? Either way, determining the cause is half the battle in trying to rectify the problem...........How about an outdoor kennel with more
  8. I do believe certain behaviour in the animal kingdom is inherited genetically, so it could be feasible, certainly. An example being, if a landfill site is overrun with gulls..the preferred method of control is by the use of a bird of prey (scarer). Despite the obvious, the way this works is by the fear caused by the sight of a bird of prey which is 'inprinted' into the youngsters in the nest, which in tern deters the same youngsters from breeding in that area thereon after. Clearly this is proof that the initial theory does hold water!
  9. The rats had burried under the path of an adjoining property, and for up through the cavity in the double skinned wall and into the loft. What the pictures don't show is the adjoining bungalow which is equally as bad. They are joined by a pitched car port, and old ratties are traversing the girder which is encapsualted by UPVC box section.....both areas measure roughly 15 x 10 meters..........really not that pleasant at all!!!! lol
  10. cracking looking pup..but having the 'heart of a lion'..and 'turning out to be a good worker' are bold statements indeed for a puppy mate.........Lets see what's he's like after 4 seasons under his belt...He should have seen very little at his age mate. Hope he makes the grade for you and best of luck
  11. Ive been dealing with a rat infestation in two adjoining bungalows, and thought I'd show a few photos of the problem. The house has only been up for 18 months so it just shows how quickly an infestation can take hold, and the damage they can do in a short time.... In both lofts the rats have chewed though mains power cables, water pipes, and destroyed massive areas of insulation ( which is soaked in urine and stinking of rat)...note the defined runs and smear marks on the the timbers. This is as bad as I've seen. The tenants have had to move out while we conducted the holding treatment
  12. hhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....that sounds like a great idea. Followed by a 20 mile bike ride, 14 km swim......10 hours unpaid charity work, and back in time for 12 to feed dinner to the old biddies at the day centre...lol
  13. apart from ferreting and lamping I excercise the dogs on local field near to home morning and night I take the old frisby, and run them till they flop.........Perfect for keeping them fit...Luckily mine retrieve
  14. ............been practicing with duffus's recently with 0 sucess!!!...... I cant catch a mole for love nor money!!!!
  15. let him line a bitch............and think of the money :whistling: You been sold a jacker by the sounds of things....and no, I wouldn't breed it as long as I had a hole in my ar*e
  16. As early as possible, let them smell it and pick it up in your garden. I use to clean all my game in front of the pup, (Still do now that their older) they soon get use to not touching it and lay there looking up at you. If they were lucky they got a liver or two. :thumbs:
  17. do a quick search mate...this topic has been done to death
  18. good stuff buddy...good night out by the looks
  19. I'd bet a pound to a pinch of sh1t taht its otter. A friends day ticked fishery was decimated by on over a 3 week period. Taking fish in excess of 10lb
