  2. Livery Yard

    in Help & Advice

    Posted

    hi guys,

    Iv been ask to shoot some rabbits on a couple of horse fields, problem is the lady who ask me only rents the fields from a farmer and has no shooting rights.

    can i shoot with her permision or do i need to get it from the farmer?

     

    thanks in advance

     

    Paul

     

    not sure on that , but if she is the tennant then i dont see why not.

    dont forget that the law states that landowners etc must ( by law ) control vermin on thier land and rabbits are definatley unwanted pests around horse paddocks

    your doing a service for him and the lady , so just go with it until someone say other.

     

    just to add i own 2 horses and belong to a livery yard and never ever shoot while horse are in the paddocks only if they are stabled or otherside of the farm , and then i use a silenced air rifle or a 410 hushpower.

    horse's cost big time the last thing you need is someone trying to sue you for damage to there property :welcomeani:

     

    cheers

  3. Gamebore clear pigeon price

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    was useing some of the above carts in 32gr 6's at the weekend , must say i rather liked them , much better than the D&J 's i have been using.

     

    so i enquired at my local gun shop how much for a 1000 clear pigeon carts , he quoted me £178 :welcomeani: which i though was a bit steep

    he also sells individual boxs at £5.85 a box :lol:

     

    so the question is -- how much do you guys pay for these gamebore carts in your area

     

     

    cheers

    If they can't find out and you've tried a few vets consider amputation first. The dog will be fine on 3 legs and condition will actually improve once he's not in pain all the time :hmm:

     

    we have seen 3 vets and one specialist.

    the last vet said he had seen loads of lame labs , and there is usually a cause or a clue to whats happened , but in his cause could find nothing .

    after 6 months not even a hint of the lameness getting any better , in fact its got a bit worse.

    the specialist vet just said its likely nerve damage or a tiny tumour some where , but theres nothing that can be done.

     

    so far its cost over £1000+ and also the on going pain killers at £2.80 per day .

     

    we bought another pup ( a spaniel this time ) to kind of soften the blow , gives me something to concentrate on , but at the mo i just feel guilt. :blush:

    well i,m working up to it .

    it looks like my black lab Jack will have to be pts , its so hard to do , as he's not even 6 years old.

    he's been such a good lad and we love him so much :lol: .

     

    the vet says they cant find any cause for his lameness and all his muscle as gone from his shoulder now and struggles on 3 legs and his in pain ( when moving ).

    he's on rimadyl which helps plus it makes him sleepy and just keeps himself to himself lying in the corner of the room or utility :lol: usually snoring.

     

    i just wish i knew for sure what he was going through , how do i know when the time is right?? , i know i have to do it and i know it gonna rip me apart :good:

    thanks for all the replys lad

     

    had a good day with her yesterday , she did some good recalls useing the lead and some baked liver :good: - i will keep on with this every other day .

     

    just a thought -- i think toys may be the problem here :good: she as a few chews / nylabone / soft balls etc and when she,s holding one thats when shes less likely to come into me .

    but

    on saying that , if she has,nt got a toy in her gob , she,ll find something soon as i let her out of her cage or into the garden she'll pick a twig or stone or chunks of ice at the mo and carry them round , :hmm: dont no , what do you think .

    she just loves carrying stuff thats all i know .

     

    thanks again

     

    keep em coming :good:

    shes a great little springer and mad as a hatter .

    but

    i,m having trouble getting her to recall to me , it seems she'd much prefer to give me a wide birth or totally ignore me when i call her and doge past me .

    i am useing treats and trying out the long lead , but still out of choice she tries to avoid me :yes:

    i,m doing something wrong but not sure what .
