  1. Just had a quick look for a recipe for that and it does look nice http://www.nutmegsseven.co.uk/2011/03/thai-rabbit-curry.html
  2. Stopped over a month ago lots of young about. Frustrating spent all winter waiting for cover to die down then when it finally did they started breeding. Cover has been perfect over the last month.
  3. Cracking bit of land there. I have a concrete yard but picked up a ladies back garden. 6 miles away though on a near vertical slope covered in brambles with a slab of rock under it but better than nothing
  4. yea looks more like 9-10 at deepest part of which he dug two by the look of it if you wanted to be picky about it But fair play for going to the effort of getting the digger out certainly saved some sweat there and a happy ending
  5. Would be more epic if he had to use a spade
  6. fair play he didn't select a reverse gear mind
  7. How about they knock on this guys door that claps when a hunter gets killed http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/284931-this-is-disgusting-please-all-report/ Really past a joke now a days
  8. That is sick i have reported it but I doubt they will take it down. Facebook should be taken down completely the amount of bullying that place is responsible for is huge and impossible to fully police.
  9. I think any terrier that is good at rabbits as in really good will also be good at fox and likely to drop to ground whether thats a patterdale or jack Russel don't matter much. A really good working terrier will tend to be good across the board I think any way. Two jack russels that come to mind going back some time were both great rabbiting dogs but also as good at fox
  10. I was under the impression this only affects you if you claim housing benefit other wise it doesn't ?
  11. Bugger all I am at the other end of the scale buy an orvis dog blanket for 70 quid then see one online for 30
  12. Sounds like your biggest issue is the wife. Tell her it will be in a secure cabinet and only you will have the key I think they find them scary and rightly so I guess seeing as they can kill. My wife was dubious at first but she came around. The rest of it is easy the fire arms guy that came to see me is a nice as pie right country side chap and been in the game for years
  13. Yea I think thats what you need a dog that has a bit of common sense. Good to hit the cover because a dog will nail a lot of rabbits like that but you don't want one hitting it full whack. I all ways thought that was the idea of a good lurcher a dog that caught with brains and guile not just out right speed and a death wish
  14. Had a few as a kid with the ferret and as you say you can find them some times in holes in the tree low down. I found the first one by accident when my jr marked the a small hole in a tree. Right old bit of chuntering and out he popped
  15. Plenty of good ideas in this section for you http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/forum/72-living-off-the-land-game-cooking/
  16. Glad his back from what people say on here they do seem to have some sort of homing instinct which surprises me
  17. Superb great too see a little terrier pup like that born natural that one
  18. Sorry to hear that very unfortunate Horrible losing a dog especially one you have had from a pup and it is struck down in its prime when things are going well. But at least it was quick which is some thing and doing some thing it loved . The one I lost went into fits for 24 hours before I had to have him put down. Poor sod was curled up on my bed all night frothing at the mouth vet tried every thing
  19. Really enjoyed watching this much better than mountain men one where they ham up the acting way too much. I really hope my dog doesn't go out in the dark after that bear so I will just open the door and let my dog go out in the dark after that bear then stand in the window looking really really worried. Not that I need worry too much because my cabin has so many lights if the bear comes with in 300 yards he will get grilled to a crisp
  20. Thats dedication for you I love the feeling working in complete darkness though it never actually seems dark enough. I could never master it as a youngster never had the patience but now I have plenty Live stock is all ways a concern so upto date reconnaissance is vital or a call to the landowner if circumstances dictate
  21. Just test him on one first rather than do a few just in case
  22. I can't remember what I did yesterday so don't fancy my chances but I enjoy my food and tend to home in on any thing tasty
  23. I think this part is bang on catching bolters is handy but doesn't really matter or wouldn't bother me anyway. Rabbits rarely leave cover for more than a yard or two around here anyway. A nice little dog could peg a netted rabbit if needs be till you get a grip on it
  24. Good post here on the subject might be helpful for you http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/39280-help-needed-to-make-a-drop-net/
  25. Happy net making Bernie well worth it in the end
