jiggy 3,209 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 I'm in my late 30s and hunting since I could walk and never even heard of a listening device. Do you attach a microphone to the foxes collar for it to work.? But what if the fox isn't wearing a shirt. 1 1 Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 44,952 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 So he's finally getting out the game after almost 10 yrs lol...... Bad craic keeping donations had some unsavoury characters in the last 2 digging the dirt books imo, plenty of lies told and written.... Catch up with them all in the end. Man's a weasel, worst type.... Couldn't call him a dog man, motivated only by greed of coin and getting a name along side the few men with kennels that are genuinely in it for the right reasons and not for a pat on the back. Shame on you Johnny you wrong un..... 3 1 Quote Link to post
dogmandont 9,737 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 T bars can be used way to much at times but I’ve seen them save a terriers life more than once. Bit like the sharptooth fork, don’t often need it but it’s always in the van. 3 Quote Link to post

T bars are a handy tool to always have in the vehicle as someone already said the sharp tooths always there but not always needed..trouble with t bars is most folk dont know how to use them correctly.. I never sink the bar full into the burrow..I only use it to give me an indication and get on top of them without spiking the hole...most think there for spiking in to find the tube then not heeling them over one of my pet hates...hence leaving the burrow full of bar holes letting in water and cold...im not saying mine is the right way its just the way I use it when I do...
