  1. na youll get no hassle if ye leave the iffy lookin places alone, fox will some times bolt out bunny spots but seem to have a knack a throwin a normal sized net an boltin to safety, if they dont bolt ferrets usually let ye know then can sort it with terrier
  2. is nick not on sites anymore fireman? pm me if ye pref
  3. if a badger hits your net, tickle his belly till he falls asleep before untangling him, itll stop you gettin bitten
  4. its ususlly a bunny spot which has been opened up for a nest or just a need to dig, if in doubt about them being used by anything other than bunny then dont do it
  5. we got lots of badger setts with bunnys in full residence, lots of rabbit warrens that fox and brock have opened up and will use now and again and lots of rabbit warrens within 50yds of active badger setts, i will ferret the warrens with only bunnys and even warrens that occasionaly hold fox, but i let the bunnys in the badger setts be, and they in turn repopulate the rest lol
  6. 3ft in height? is that stretched wide?? im clueless other than settin them an catching with them and lifting them, i set my nets at 18 inch/20 inch high at most, few inch at bottom to go in ground and few inch extra pole above top line for handling, so depending on how high, how much extra you want just buy or make some to suit
  7. im always stinkin of mutts ferrets and bunnys, a good bath/wash is all you need ffs who wants to smell like a flower given off a hint of lavendar ffs
  8. hope somebody steps up and gifts the youngster a pup, hopefully give him summat to keep him busy, got a mate waitin for right pup to come up aswell, atb findin summat suitable
  9. i kept my dpm jacket when i left, it lay in shed for few years, whilst i spent shed loads of cash on loads of diffent types that never seemed to last a couple hedges lol i started wearin the dpm again an 4 seasons on its still going strong lol
  10. if your gonna spend time looking for fish, may aswell take a light rod whilst there
  11. wait till the insect life comes back, walk the banks and watch for rises, get some polarised specs and try being stealthy, if water is as small as you say you should see them after bit of practice.
  12. i was under impression the dam gives more is an old wives tale, and its a 50/50 split, the pups could pick up some of her behaviour tho as its her that raises them?? dont mind in slightest being corrected tho lol we always hear of dogs being producers, and obviously a dog can produce more pups than a bitch in a life time, but are producing bitches as common, as dogs which produce decent pups??
  13. bet he short changed you wilf....
  14. after havin pigeons and canaries (glosters), i got rid to spend more time/effort with mutts. i was in same boat, seemed wierd without a bird about, we opted for a young cock budgie in end, lot tamer than canaries, less hassle than parrots, and added bonus the kids get him out and teach him to talk and tricks lol might be worth thinking about forest??lol
  15. if the op is fredthefrog back as fredofrog, i think its his lamping vid on youtube that got him banned lol lol to be fair tho the op sounded far more intelligent than original fred lol maybe he finished watching his mayfield dvds or read a book lol keep the thread going tho guys.....
  16. there is a lot of fake abloys out there, mate of mine bought 2, found out they were fake and bought 2 more real uns lol full price, i laughed for days, but i use them myself now lol i never paid too much tho i got them as a swap for meat lol
  17. can mother son be used instead of father daughter to get a base? would it matter?
  18. most folk iv watched only ever teach a lurcher to jump from a standstill, and as a result one of most common things im asked for advice for is jumpin, my kids teach my mutts to jump now, 1st thet start wirh jumps from a stand still, then they move onto jumpin whilst trotting. they do that by getting dog used to jumping small ditches rather than over things, more a long jump than a high jump, then it gets put together until young dogs are jumpin over things whilst running, then just increase the height an speed, most stuff my mutts catch over a jump is usually within a yard or 2 of other side
  19. any rules of thumb to try and breed to or not do whilst trying to start a strain/line?
  20. fd when line breeding animals do you start and stick to a plan, or do you play it by ear so to speak, depending on the circumstances?
  21. boat helicopter phone map and a dwarf chick just for shits and giggles....
  22. do what you want, say what you want, if a dogs hard mouthed its hard mouthed, i honestly believe once that mutts running, youve got no say over where itll be feret food or a non bruised bunny that comes back, iv seen real gentle dogs demolish a bunny or hare as tho dog was gutted it took so long go catch lol my older bitch is gentle with bunnys but kills hares, i think they too big to retreive easily lolbut i have seen her take a few bunnys with a strike that hard it looked like a pack a hounds caught it, it usually but not always happens if she has mis timed her strike, so she makes sure nex
