Why oh why is Scotland the only country in the UK to still have the ban on tail docking of working dogs?

Just back in from ferreting a plantation of young larch and scots pine trees. I am soaked to the skin and frozen. My daughter is visiting us with her boyfriend and I thought it would be a good chance for him to see some different animal tracks in the snow.

I am not a happy chappy. I was cutting old rabbit fences away this morning and my ear is bleeding profusely. I detest that high tensile wire; when you cut it with the wire cutters it goes off like a coiled spring. It felt like I had been shot in the ear.

Last chance to enter the SGA Photo Competition

 

22.06.10

There's still time - just - to enter photographs of wildlife, scenery or gamekeepers at work in this year's competition which closes on 28th June.

The award winning photograph will feature in the annual fundraising SGA calendar and the great prize, sponsored this year by Game and Country of Selkirk, will be presented at the Scottish Game Fair at Scone Palace on Friday 2nd July.

To enter the competition email sgapress@scottishgamekeepers.co.uk with your name, address, telephone number and attach a digital entry. The winning shot will be used in publicity material so the resolution should be as high as possible.

You can enter up to five times but please send only one photograph on each email to avoid overloading files.

So come on, get those entries in - and good luck!
