  1. I wouldn't delay going to the vet some of them skin conditions can be a really hard to get sorted. I had a lurcher once that had mange of some description and the vet tried every thing but couldn't cure it.
  2. piped that through to the tv really enjoyed it. Cracking sport
  3. I think it is a battle we won't win. Minds have all ready been made up. People are either for,against or don't care and they are unlikely to change there minds in any direction. As for the future generations I think they are either bought up understanding the ways of the country side or not. The ones that have been bought up understanding it are hopefully the ones that continue the traditions. People who read that article will either understand it and see nothing wrong or those on the other of the fence I am not sure how there brains work. But neither side will jump ship because of that
  4. Good video that when that was made I was 12 at the time we had just moved to wales and the old fella across the road who was same type of chap as the guy in video got me interested in ferreting and mole trapping. Funny how things move on with time but to be honest I would have been quite happy stuck back in that time zone
  5. Nice stiff westerly here at moment perfect for a drop I had in mind 100 yards billowing in the wind nicely perfect sadly the rabbits did not think so they stayed at home Nice run out regardless
  6. Yea same here last night the wife went hand gliding down the back lane with my plastic green house in the afternoon but by about 9 it was perfectly still. The breeze is forecast to last tonight though
  7. Saw quite few rabbits edge of paignton zoo but that might be pushing it a bit
  8. Did it once on a snowy frosty night with a full moon years ago but it was too bloody cold. Visibility was good though
  9. Slow and steady is the way for sure. I do a couple of drops on well lit fields the rabbits can see me a mile away. But I remember tc telling me once keep your movements slow and deliberate. But if you rush about they tend to make a run for it before you get by. It has paid off more than once and I have been able to get a couple when I expected an empty field This is the back drop to one field lit up light a stadium but still got a couple
  10. Like that with me bass for exactly the same reason I all ways deny catching any thing on the beach. I admit to nothing
  11. Got to agree there thats why if I have a couple of rabbits in the fridge/freezer I will stay at home rather than run the long nets out much as I would like too. But I find of all the methods in the right spots you can clean things out a bit. I know the wood you mean Allan been there a couple of times and lucky to get one now as there is only a handful about there. Nice little spot though and very nice farmer
  12. 20 years ago the old boys used to complain how few rabbits were about. Now when I look back to 20 years ago there was loads compared to now. So at least in this neck of the woods they seem in decline. 20 years ago with in a mile of where I sit now there used to be at least a dozen spots with plenty now nothing I didn't appreciate how good it was at the time ( that was a liberal 20 more like 25 thinking about it )
  13. ain't that the truth my grans cooking was amazing. She made a veg stew of some sort and a crispy suet pudding. I have never yet been able to get close to it. Pretty sure it had chickpeas in or maybe even beans. Used to polish off plates of the stuff after a day out with the dogs as a kid. As for her yorkshire puddings well I ain't got no chance
  14. I was glad I did mine different animal now very laid back and playful and stays with the two jills all the time so I don't have to worry. On the the down side he has turned into a nice little worker the same as the jill I had spayed and further down the line they would have been a good pair to breed from in hind site when they need replacing. But I do still have one whole jill who is also a good worker so all is not lost there
  15. Terriers due to there size just seem able to slide around any where I don't remember mine ever getting cut up unless as you say he was just careful. He never used to bull doze through just seemed to glide along some how
  16. great impression that video gives shall I pass you some more nails
