  1. Personally i think for a first attempt at carving, thats a 10 out of 10 from me,, i think you need to be doing a bit more of this TBH,
  2. I had this a couple of years back, made it known with lads in building next door that i was putting a few trail cams up and after i bought cameras and put em up it all stopped ?? bit strange that but like you i had a idea who it was but never caught him on camera,, if you do go the trail cam route get the ones with black LED,s as who every is doing it will not have a clue the cameras are there as apposed to the red or blue LED,s, ,And cameras are not there for catching diesel thieves they are there to monitor the rodent population, its just tough shit for him you catch nicking your diesel,,
  3. OK not been on here much in last few months as was busy up to Christmas with logs and then had covid over Christmas and it's took some getting over, I had the vets dog Purdey out working all through the shooting season and glad to say we only had one wet day but the ground we was picking up on was either saturated or flooded so hard going for all of us,, I think Purdey enjoyed her days out and worked her arse off and was returned home some evenings broken,, its been a wet season and when you have beaters out in canoes says alot,,
  4. Yes I know all to well where your coming from with loosing dogs,, in April this year I went from 2 dogs to no dogs in 8 days, the younger one on the left in photo below was just 18 mth old and and full of promis as a working dog and the older one 8yr old that I rehomed with my vet, reason for rehomeing the older one was far to many bad habits like I will do it when I want, not when you tell me,, the younger one would of picked up on all this and I would of More than likely ended up with 2 dogs the same ,, Asha the young one was very well bread and a quick learner, so I wanted to put all my effort in to this young dog but unfortunately 8 days after rehoming the older dog I lost Asha to rat poison, very sad day having to make the desision to put such a promising young dog to sleep, this tore me apart, I said that's it with dogs for me but I had purdey for 7 wks over the summer and this inspired me to up my game at finding a pup and we did, and TBH no regrets at all ,,
  5. Well I said i would report back on Isla,s progress,, sge niw 6 mth and training coming along fine, retrieve mad and it's all to be done in as little time as possible, she really gets her nose down and hunts dummies out well in cover so all going well,, we had a couple of hrs out one aft last wk when I had Purdey (the vets dog) trying to get the pair of em to sit still for 10 seconds was a job in its self,,
