    This fella tc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bronson_%28prisoner%29 This bit made me chuckle ----------------- He ran 90 miles (140 km) away from the scene to his parents' home, where he was apprehended. ------------------ No wonder he went loopy

    Picked up the keys to my first ever allotment this morning well chuffed. Its all over grown with grass so plenty of work. I had a choice of one with some gooseberry bushes or rhubarb on so I opted for the rhubarb. Looks like it has been there a while just needs a bit of maintenance maybe. Will have to read up. Plenty of ideas on this thread too

    My JR in all his years of ferreting never dropped to ground on rabbit but he would fox. He started ferreting from very young age and new his stuff. But I guess others may do

    Had an interest in hunting from an early age I remember running around the fens with a home made bow and arrow must have been about 8. Never hit any thing mind. Then we moved to wales and the old chap across the road had ferrets and showed me how to snare rabbits. So I started setting a few snares for rabbit and fox and some fenns for mink. Used to have a little trap line I walked every day thought I was davey crockett Also trapped a few mole 5p a skin if I remember correctly Got my first ferret followed by my first terrier. That little dog taught me a hell of a lot and we grew up together

    If she legs when she hits a scent I suspect not sounds like a promising worker if you can get a handle on her. Not easy I know. As a kid my cousins Jack Russell used to have a working range of about 2 fields made me chuckle because mine stayed with in a 100 yards unless he hit a scent then he just followed it too its conclusion. Only way I could get him off the scent if he was heading for trouble was to shout rabbit and point in the other direction then he would coming legging it back. Never forget the disgusted look he used to give me when he twigged I had lied

    Surprising how it mounts up if you just do a bit when ever you fancy. That was how I started my 50 yarder but then with some time off over Christmas I made some impact on it. So I then got really enthusiastic and committed to doing 2 yards a day. One before leaving for work and one in the evening. Had it finished in no time then but it did become a bit of a chore when I started that approach. Chuffed when it was done and I hung it in the shed then one night had a panic attack and thought there could be a big fat mouse gnawing his way through it so now its hung in the bed room

    That looks superb job but I would be careful with any thing they can move. Surprising what they can shove about once they get going. Just in case they get in bother

    I have ran around the the fields in this neck of the woods since I was 11 which is 33 years ago and I have never seen one. Until a couple of years ago I was out on my cycle on the back roads one evening. I got to the brow of a hill and I slumped over the bars getting my breath back . As I crested the hill I saw a big black cat but a hell of a lot bigger than you average cat it had pointed ears a stumpy tail. It didn't act like your average moggy and saunter down the road for a few yards before hitting the cover. It turned saw me and was gone in a second into the pinewoods. I didn't imagine i

    netting hares

    terryd replied to goose123's topic in Longnetting

    I do one patch of land that has a cycle path running through it. People walk their dogs there even in the night. One night I had the net running along the side of the path and a young couple came round the corner of the path just as I was starting the bant. I could not make out what they were saying but could hear something. Next thing I kicked a rabbit that was squatting and it headed for home, it hit the net behind them and started squealing, the woman screamed and they both started running like hell down the path. TC would love to have been there just as well it wasn't a har

    terryd replied to goose123's topic in Longnetting

    The good thing about netting is it can be completed in total darkness which I try to do. But some times I do use a torch to check my net so I can see if I cocked up setting the net and do better next time. It is a great feeling strolling along in the dark with a coat full of nets and a couple of rabbits and no one has a clue your there

    netting hares

    terryd replied to goose123's topic in Longnetting

    If you fancy a hare for pot and don't happen to own some majestic looking saluki cross whip out the gate net. Its on my to do list and in this neck of woods would require fair bit of time invested to suss what is going where. Certainly not easy

    Thanks darbo I remember we grew purple broccoli as a kids an it tasted great. Would love to try it again I will get some seeds in
  25. terryd
    I was thinking of planting some purple sprouting broccoli but am right in thinking it would be ready to harvest late winter ? so thats quite long time to try and keep some thing pest free. Tried some cabbages once they looked great to start then seemed a bit nibbled and with in a couple of weeks just stalks left
