Rub the fur the wrong way and you’ll find them before they do harm . Thanks for the knowledge. Just run blade over lakey few come to surface there. Couldn't feel them with the hands. That will be due to her jacket being thick though Quote Link to post

Bangersanmash 2,715 Posted March 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Went for a quick mooch this morning with the young lakey. She ended up lifting an hare in some deep densely wooded area. Am talking in the middle of the wood. She's pulling on lead so lets her off next min we're walking an it just bounced up terrier on the back end running through wood yapping like fcuk A shit myself way it jumped up. Just shows this area is known for shoots so the hares have started sitting tight in the woods. Then further up 4 roe deer mooching through. Which a was surprised due to there being alot of yuppie dog walkers round this area. Edited March 24, 2023 by Bangersanmash Quote Link to post

First a thought it was a rabbit. It shocked me more because a was tailing the roe was hoping to get close see if a could get a decent head shot with catty on a young stag. Had 11mm steels so maybe would of taken one down if shot would of been right. 1 Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Just to point out that the hare wasn’t covered in leaves just jugging tight mate and you didn’t see it .They winter in woods out the wind and rain which we’ve returned to cutting short the mating activity out in the pastures . Not too sure about your catty on roe and it’s a buck mate ,roe buck not a stag . 2 Quote Link to post

Always pushing hare out of plantations and woods around here mate even heavy rains put them in cover, makes sense though to shelter 4 Quote Link to post

Some say it can't be done but I've some cladding here at home which I've been using as a back ground for target box an the 11m steels have been going straight through at 25 yards no bother. The cladding is 8mm thick so decent. Some say less power than an air riffle but totally diffrent ammo from a 1.77 or 22 pellet to an 11mm steel. Back in the day lead an steel were used long before bullets or pellets. Would like to see the reading from an old style gun fire against catty with decent bands on see the difference in power. Bands I've got on this simpleshot are just over 1mm decent pull back. I'm not much up on the catty game used to have a black widow an cobra as a youth lol. Back in day they were the thing Quote Link to post

You can't say that mate if your hunting to put food in the pot you’ll try owt . Can you imagine before guns came about and men just did what ever to put food on the table. They didn't think f**k that someone may think diffrent to this method lol. 1 Quote Link to post
Bangersanmash 2,715 Posted March 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 Little mooch this morning with young terrier bit of one on one with her. I'm hoping to get her retrieving off the water when out shooting with catty. She's a quick learner and very obedient too. 2 Quote Link to post
