david2363 42 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Just trying to work out the mind set of someone who "digs up" (no pun intended) a 5 year old thread, and and starts asking daft questions. I can only imagine that the inquisitors have dogs who are so good, they are beyond question. Quote Link to post

CarraghsGem 92 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 this is the result of a dig in a sandy sett at about 3ft. we dug to my russell for the first time to this vixen baying inches from its face. this is one of my mates pictured with the fox and dogs the dog is very clean after a dig shot fox? sett only 3ft? doesnt add up, wonder if they were selling dog and wanted to increase its value? i can never understand why people comment in this way..the young lad puts up a picture of his dogs and a fox...thats all. well done lad..to many experts and know it alls on here Aye you are right there mate, and its always the people who dont shot threads up on there own dog but sit slagging other off! to answer your question i'll ask you another; who in their right mind puts threads up these days about their terriers on a dig unless they are with a hunt? as for the thread, why would i look at the age of it ? and ive never seen a dog as clean as that after a dig in sandy soil and i havent seen such a shallow dig in sandy soil either. i ask a QUESTION hoping for an answer not this bullshit witch-hunt get a grip on yourselves. also as a final note; my own terrier will earn his reputation in the field WHERE IT COUNTS not on the internet.

zap 4 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 what does it matter if you are with a hunt or not ?? its perfectly legal to work your terriers to fox as long as you have written permission ,for the protection of livestock & gamebirds you dont block any holes you despatch the fox as soon as possible with a gun ,as for the pic well welldone to the lad i say Quote Link to post

Feck me if everyone was that bothered about the antis no one would ever get any digging done! We go out in 2 and 3 all the time never with anymore... In my eyes the more people you are with the more likely you are to get trouble off the anti's or [NO TEXT TALK] else you dont want to be seen by... Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'd say your gonna get more trouble if your WITH a hunt - cos then everyone knows where, when and what your doing. I could go out stark bollock naked right now singing 'i'm off to dig a foxy' with a shovel over my shoulder and a terrier under my arm, and as long as i'm not shooting my mouth off and folk dont see me. . . . . how exactly am i going to get done? Whereas if i am 'known' as a digging bloke, dress, act, speak like one, show off my terriers, make lots of friends in the digging world and work with a hunt thats being monitered by antis . . . . . i'm gonna get f****d. P.S - maybe he washed the dog? He DOES have dirty knees! Quote Link to post
