That works for me when she is looking for a dummy or ball etc in a area I will say loss and she will hunt harder in that area to find it . But I had her out yesterday for the first time hunting through woods looking for game and she was constantly pulling away out in front , maybe she just needs more experience and more game in front of her??? To find a few flushes to get idea ?

Hi all I have a young springer bitch 14 months old she is my first gun dog and is coming on very well. one of my biggest problems is that she wants to work and hunt to far out for my likening. She will stop to the whistle straight away and also recall straight away if asked but I feel I'm constantly stoping her and bringing her back in closer. Any tips on teaching her to stay closer and hunt closer would be very much appreciated .

Do you have any links to a youtube video I have a box but can't find any good videos to follow, I'm not the best with the computer stuff lol Regards mark

Sorry to hear that bud !!!

I've got a pup coming on January and the breeder is weaning them on fish for dogs , has anybody used this ??

Cuba is superb I was there last year for two weeks the people are all very friendly it was a brilliant holiday and pretty cheep aswell, I'm hoping to go back again next year .

The 1.7 Astra is a great van we had one at work it was the best van we had , we also had berlingos they are not worth two rows of sheep **** We're a fiat dealer at work I would never buy one of then either!!! I've been looking at buying a 1.7astra for myself there very good !!!

I really do hope we **** off away from all you lot , nobody will need to clear up after us. There must be some reason yous lot want us to stay in the uk

You speak the most sense on here. Roll on Friday I'm getting fed up with it now I have looked very hard into both sides and it's a massive yes for me for to many lies from Westminster and the bbc for me to even consider a no vote, I will unfortunately be in Thame in Oxfordshire on the 18 th my wife will be voting for me . When we get a yes we will succeed and be a wealthy country no doubt in my mind

Well I think you are very wrong Scotland are more than capable of standing on there own two feet. If were such a drain on England why are they so desperate to keep us, you never no it might be you English lot are looking for handouts from the north in a few years time !!!!

Alex Salmond is not out of his depth not by a long way!! , I'm no great fan of him but he his a clever man who has definitely been underestimated by the no campaign and I think they will regret it !!

I live in lanarkshire now but originally from Ayrshire ,I m very much a yes as well as all my family and work mates, until about a month ago there was a lot more no votes from people I know now they are mostly all yes!! I know loads of people who have went from no to yes but not one single person to go the other way?? The government is bad now so it can't get much worse time we had a change !!

I've always done it this way and get email straight back from them works for me, I bought a new gun a couple of weeks ago from my local RFD they said I didn't need to notify the police as they would do it for me. But I still sent the email within the 7 days to keep myself right ?

If you can get a halfords trade card you can get superb discount on batteries from them .!!

Cheers !!!

Is there any game dealers in the glasgow or lanarkshire areas ??

Mines is in the bedroom inside the fitted wardrobe it's ideal !!

To be honest I think they will all be the pretty much the same, the fishing on that coast can be great so no matter who you go out with you will get into some fish.

Head up the east coast ,Arbroath area some good boats leave from there and some great cod fishing in that area, I fish that whole coast in the summer from my kayak and from the shore in the winter time it can be fantastic fishing at times. There also seems to be a better stamp of mackerel on the east coast the west coast are smaller again this year!!!

Wish this was closer I'm looking for a full set up but I'm near glasgow lol a bit to far out ,good luck with your sale !!

Me personally I would not use a boat rod for mackerel fishing , a light spinning rod is more than enough 30-60gram would be plenty, I use my salmon spinning gear for mackerel and cod from the kayak. I've landed cod and pollock to 8lb on the kayak with my ugly stick and 30lb braid it's way much better sport than a heavy boat rod. Multipliers can be good if your in a bit deeper water but I mostly fish in about 30-40 feet of water close to shore it's great fun with light tackle

Cracker mate well done, we have a few barbel in the clyde only ever foul hooked one but would love to catch one properly !!

Make up some bin bag decoys the work very well to get things started then ad in the shot birds !! Good luck
