  1. Nobby. Nice knives. How do you become a mate of yours?!!
  2. of all the sites on the internet you quickly thought of this one Well, I did consider 'the badderdale fell runners society' but discounted that! well they could be fast fell running, scooby owning coursers Point taken, I will go and pose my question there.

  4. It did quickly cross my mind whether the occupants of the vehicle were frequenters of this site!
  5. Presupposing that the BBC are accurate with this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-20288624, are there any reasonably minded people on here who really believe that Coursing will ever be legalised again?
  6. Matt, I have just received my second knife off you - absolutely outstanding materials and workmanship! I have a tiny collection in comparison to some doyens on here, including Bison and Pat Mitchell and without doubt your workmanship is absolutely first class, you are a talented man. Should there be any knives left out of the recent batch, I would be really pleased to purchase them off you.
  7. Probably struggling because of the weight of all those knives!
  8. Matt, When are your next delectations going to become available?
  9. There should be a ruling that Moderators remain last in the queue on offers like these!
  10. Sounds like you have your bitch nicely trained. When a dog is under control it is working for you, when a dog is 30 + yards away it is working for itself and will cover the ground in a haphazard manner. Keep your dog under control and you will get more than sufficient flushes because game will have been missed. Also be aware that as your dog gets more experienced, she will start to extend her hunting distance from you, just keep reminding her who is the boss!
  11. Matt, I purchased a completed knife from your last consignment and I thought the workmanship and attention to detail was outstanding But personally, to purchase one of these latest blades would be a complete waste of time for me, because I don't have the facilities or time/skill to achieve the final result you consistently produce. However, if you were to handle and sheath, I would buy two off you.
  12. Labs can be late in maturing and your pup sounds like he is still a pup and it would be quite wrong to crack down too hard on him, let him grow up. Some Labs haven't fully matured at 2 years, so be careful about giving commands or blowing your whistle when you know perfectly well, the pup will not obey you in a month of Sundays, because of the presence of another dog/distraction. Once he is mature I would arrange scenarios on a number of different areas of ground where you can introduce distractions and be in a position to stop the dog and deal with him. BUT ONLY ONCE you have engrained the
  13. Matt, My knife has just been delivered - first class workmanship, really pleased with it. I cannot wait to order my next!
  14. It can be quite an horrendous sight to see a working Spaniel with an injury to the tip of it's tail. Because of the furious wagging of the tail, the blood gets spread over both flanks and after a short time it looks as if butchery has taken place. Some individual's are more prone to damage than others but the correct amount of tail to dock from a Spaniel is to not remove more than a third from it's original length.
  15. Without wishing to alarm, you need to research about the very real danger of stomach torsions in dogs. Exercise after food is not good.
  16. The dog is not 100% obedient! 'The One' has given great advice, you need to go back to basics. I must admit that I have NO experience of personally using remote trainers, but I have come across Dogs where the device was incorrectly used and left the creatures ruined. A better way would be to find a trainer with a rabbit pen and to use those facilities once you have instilled the basics.
  17. Had an English Springer that visited next door neighbours house and ate a complete spread laid out for a child's birthday party, - sandwiches, sausage rolls, pizza, even the birthday cake complete with candles! Cost me a fortune and a hasty visit to the Supermarket Happy days!
  18. I thought it was more about indicating to The National Trust, that they should continue to allow Field Sports access on ground they are responsible for, rather than grinding your axe in public, over one particular branch of Country pursuit. What will the NT try and stop next?
  19. Interesting thread for a change, that's probably one of the reasons. Many of these antis are recruited for the exchange of cash and the offer of free transport from various Universities. A couple of shoots I belong to were targeted after a few of the Guns were spotted leaving a roadside breakfast van and followed to the shoot. The antis proceeded to stand in front of the Guns, effectively preventing them from shooting and after 30 minutes or so the shoot was abandoned for safety reasons. Most of the Guns were not physically capable of defending themselves never mind being the aggressor
  20. There is camping onsite but it looks a bit pricey - http://www.countrymanfairs.co.uk/midland-game-fair/visitor-info/215-tickets-a-camping
