Packham claimed moor management responsible for Boxing Day floods This is a particularly divisive and irresponsible claim in a community still recovering from the floods and worried when the next one may happen 5 minutes of searching on EA website and I found the data to refute it (my graphic) CpuFN64WcAAQogE.jpg:large

Very independent minded. Fantastic scent hounds but bred to run with a pack and make 'music' when on a scent, not work with a human partner. If you really wanted one or two for a while you could volunteer to puppy walk for your local kennels. You'll probably be pleased to give them back!

Don't need to be particularly fit The course of the hunt tends to be in a circle and if you choose a good viewing position you'll see the hounds working. The old hands generally know where to go. If you want to follow the pack more closely have a word with the huntsman and don't get too close. http://www.amhb.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=63&Itemid=53 `This site should tell you how to find your local pack. Sab activity can be a problem but newcomers are welcome if you have country credentials.

Had one 2 years. I have had some serious kit for mountaineering and ski touring and harkila holds up well in comparison with the best. I'd ski and climb in the pro hunter x but wouldn't shoot in my mountaineering gear! Very good jacket has kept me dry through this terrible weather. Only closure at sleeves is velcro so water ingress when arms are hold ing gun in 'ready' position Sizing quite big in the chest for its length. But is generally well cut with good freedom of movement for arms No thermal padding just a lining but I find it very warm. Hood fits over hats and ear defenders. Well designed - moves with head when shooting Cartridge pockets sag a bit. Quite heavy when dry and once the surface finish has 'gone' it wets up and weighs quite a bit Colours are very dark Look all you like, I'll be surprised if you find it under £400. I call it money well spent - don't expect to replace it any time soon

Worseley is good but more like 45 minutes to an hour Kelbrook probably quicker than Greystones

Very good for the price

I wouldn't correct it myself, they likely have the wrong details on the police computer as well. Just contact them. West Yorkshire were friendly, helpful and efficient in correcting an error on mine They may want the old one back before issuing the new one so scan and print a copy before sending back

Don't keep our figures myself but would estimate that after 5 days we're about the same as you Usually finish mid thirties on pheasant and 100+% on duck. Gave up on partridge a few years back they don't hold. Not bad for amateur keepering and no neighbouring shoots

Around 200 quid from saddlery and gunroom

My cocker is 7 months old. My first dog. Want him to do all round duties on our DIY walk 1 Stand 1 shoot. I've been following Joe Irvine's "learning chain' and things seem to be going well. Recall good on voice and whistle. I can sit him and walk out to 30 yards. He sits to whistle. Wheels fall off a bit when there are distractions. Hunts and retrieves tennis ball and puppy dummy. As a novice I'd like to be sure I'm on the right track. Does anyone have any recommendations for trainers near Halifax? Thanks

Saw this myself and posted the link elsewhere - stunning photography Interesting how the BBC regards hunting as OK when practised by 'traditional' people

Picked him up on Saturday I'm a complete novice so fun times ahead Tim

I had the same looking after a friends cocker for a week. Several people with out of control dogs - able to sit 'mine' and let them go by with theirs straining. 'You've got that dog well trained' 'It's not my dog. It's my first/second day with it' Should have seen their faces!
