    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

    I made this 13 meshes with a mesh size of 4.25 including the selvedge But my first net that I wasn't happy with so I didn't bother with selvedge and that was only 12 meshes and seems to catch nice any way But I think general opinion is 13-15

    so to calm her fears you told her your mate likes to use black tights when you got out shooting together

    But if there too baggy you trip over them and they get caught on things

    I use a traditional net but I was lucky to have an hours tuition which gave me the basics I then just did plenty of day time drops for practice and the rest is learning as you go. Just need to take your time and prep is every thing. Make sure the net is stowed away so you can get it out easily with no chance of a stray mesh get hooked up on the pins or on a button on your coat. Make sure you know the ground your running the net out on because a single briar strand can cause havoc trust me But I love it and I have no urge to get a quick set I would recommend this book http://www.amazon.co.u

    Brilliant pictures and looks like another good day. When are you are doing the rough bit then? only kidding I am just jealous

    I reckon that's the way. In the summer months I would avoid putting the dog in a position where it is going to mark unless you want to carry a ferret around and battle the cover. Last thing you want is to take the dog away from the hole at least until its experienced

    Butchers all the way if possible. Buy 3 kilo of mince get one free and at a good price and good meat. Chunk of top side for about 12 quid for the family tends be the same price if not a tad cheaper than tesco and so much better. Some chunks of beef shin nice and cheap for casseroles or ox tail for slow cooking. Only thing our butcher is pricey on is chickens so get them from aldi

    Thats very true the cost soon mounts especially if using containers and need to get compost in. But the spuds I grew for the first time a couple of years ago I haven't tasted spuds that good since I was a kid and we grew our own stuff then. They caught me out too because they cooked in a few minutes not like the ones you buy that need boiling for a day and half to get tender

    Just curious does any one with a Bro Myrddin House have more that one dog ? Been reading there bumf and it says they have a policy like the council of one dog only. I was thinking of seeing if they would let me house one out side we have a nice concrete back yard.

    Circumstances dictate everything T but if possible live for the moment you dont know whats round the corner. Very true indeed you could be 20 and get hit by a bus or 70 and go onto 90 as you say best live for the moment

    I will after some thing for ferreting either a terrier type or maybe a whippet. We have a rented house so only allowed one dog which at the moment is a pet cocker and he is 6 years old so I wont be getting one for a while yet . Which brings me to another question at what age would you think to your self well I aint going to be around for another 10-15 years so I better not get another dog ? or does no one consider that

    We used to the cheap engine oil from quick save at the time years ago. Saw's used 5-6 days a week with out bother dare say it wasn't ideal compared to the proper stuff but you had to watch the pennies
