Dilly Thanks for posting that old photo..... it was taken at the end of a day's otterhunting with the B.C.O.H. on our annual trip to Pembroke and Carmarthen where we'd all take a week's holiday to hunt the P.C.O.H. waters. From left to right they are Chris, my cousin Bo (my original digging partner) and Bert (I was behind the camera), that old Mini Countryman (LEA 50P) covered some hunting miles in its time. Sadly Chris is the only person in that photo alive today and it's fair to say she's weathered a lot better than I have (but then she's had a pretty easy life). I said I thought i

Thats it, the emotional roller coaster of successfully breeding a litter from start to finish has come to a halt. The pups have all left now and gone to working homes and I look forward to hearing about their progress. For me now though it’s all about the bitch I kept and the very reason I bred the litter, onwards and upwards.

Hi Rabbit No that would be a different bitch..... I was fortunate enough to have had Judy from 8 weeks up until she died. If she had a vice at all, it was that on occasions she could be a little bit silly on a fox and mistakenly thought she was a match for them all. But with anything else she was very sensible and an absolute pleasure to take out. I had many good years of enjoyment with her, at a time when terrier locators were either none existent, or so "new fangled" and unreliable that they were still pretty much shunned. I guess to some extent this also tended to shape our e

Nothing wrong with saluki xs off the right lines and reared and entered right?

Now can you see why no one posts anything on thl nl ???

I wouldn't fancy knocking on a door round here late at night with a black face you would get hammered ?

I think some of the stuff Pabs wants is usually sold by blacks, I could be wrong though.

the little man got a kill

Bet he could shift a bit mate when he’s clipped out, dog doesn’t look too shabby either

As is all too often the case, opinions are frequently trotted out on these forums as if they were fact. And whilst I’ve no desire to “pee on anyone’s parade”, or to speak ill of the dead, it’s important that when this happens those who have actual first-hand knowledge and are still fortunate enough to be able to still tell the tale, should at the very least attempt to put the record straight. Otherwise history will be rewritten…. and sadly in some instances rewritten very badly. I was fortunate enough to be a close friend of Bert’s from the early 1970’s up until his death in June 1995.

Over the festive period everyone bashes ebay, so i ordered a few decoys that were a bargain and they got here yesterday! George found out as i was packing them away and has done nothing but go on about decoying and watching decoying videos on youtube. This morning we got out for an hour even though we had no net to make a hide, so i put one of my facemasks on him and he wanted to take the pup for the experience so off we headed. Set the decoys up and only had one come in but we enjoyed it anyway. now he wants to save his money up for decoying equipment. here he is wher

Just taking in some of this months excess wood pigeons to the birds of prey centre. The old girls took 24 woodies and two Squirrels this last two weeks. Not forgetting the T Rex with 13 woodpigeons off a bean field. Here`s a few corvids and rabbits waiting for decoying off cradles, - deadly method. yes Mac ! they are all from this last fortnights freezer before you start ranting and raving Just spring rifles in December,- " It get`s your eye in "

Quick few hours out this morning. Tidy bag. Can’t decide whether they are really healthy rabbits or border line obese haha that’s some serious fat around those kidneys!

No point asking on here. Everyone else here is looking for a working lurcher.

having a young family has steadied my hunting up a little and i dont bother with picks anymore as i cant be doing with all the bitching about them both on and off the site. best just keeping yourself to yourself theses days and just enjoying a trip or two out either on your own or with a couple of like minded mates/folk

I insert a clove of garlic up my anus everyday. I've never had a cold since I started and as an extra bonus I've never been attacked by a vampire!

I love it, no rifling but may as well have. Fine powder, a thin card, two greased leather wads, a .440" ball then a thin card on top. This new rabbit costume hat works a treat too! U. .

Looked more like Bungle off Rainbow...

A little something the committee of the Durham an Northumberland terrier club have had made to say thank you for there loyalty and standing by the club all these year RIP Esme.

Threatened to white witch someone's bum hole

I might black my face up and go knocking on doors with lumps of coal I remember years ago you could make a fortune off pissed up adults by letting the new year in that's another tradition that's seemed to disappear.

This little man on the hunt for rabbits

Just walk around with the ferrets this morning just enjoying our walk and the dog was a pleasure. He did every thing to perfection keeping in nice range checking on me where I was. Big forestry of young tree's so at times on my knees looking up the rows to catch a glimpse as he crossed over checking out bits of scent. There was scent about but in such a big block biit of a needle in a hay stack job I liked the way at one point he heard a magpie chatter and went off to check if charlie was sneaking about he seems to have sussed that one out. I keep showin

Keep these posts coming Barrie, really make good historical reading and a refreshing change on this site. Thanks. Would Judy be the same bitch Didriksen owned and mentions in his first book?

Heres two pups i kept back off my bitch 4 months old ,coming on nicely ,looking foward to next season with them atb

brother in law taken into hospital just before Christmas, heart attack, and on the 23rd sister in law was taken into hospital had a bad fall at home, she is still in, so as you can gather, my lady is in a reet state, im on the mend now having soft tissue injuries due to a fall, but I must say, credit to the nurses and staff at the north Staffordshire hospital, boy do they deserve their pay, came round with chocolates for us all with a smile on their faces bless em, so I grab a mooch when I can

Take that back you bitch ???

After a somewhat lengthy Hiatus and myself wondering if I should once again contribute to any of the particular posts, I must admit I was somewhat apprehensive in doing so. "Don't forget I was accused of being (Johnny Bluck) at every opportunity, which of course was very silly indeed. I have an idea of why it happened, but I will keep it to myself. It is deplorable in activity when we have so much hassle with the (antis) and the pressure will get worse if we don't stand and do something within our powers, especially the one thing we have far in front of the animal lunatics, we actually know wh

My 22 is amazing. Had many and the round is so efficient. That is a given. It's not about being better, just different. It makes me appreciate what I get in the bag more instead of being a straight forward formality. Then there is the noise and smoke! To be honest, by the time I have reloaded critters are showing again! Not knocking other ways at all. U.

It’s important your wee country bands together and does not tolerate a single hunting reform in any way whatsoever squash it as soon as you can don’t allow others to do it for you

the ground shaker...Jamie x megan Jamie x Megan

It will never happen over here..... f**k sake Stormont can’t even talk never mind ban fox hunting lol plus Adams is all over the papers about liughall lol a fox is the last of this countries worries ,

Had a nice walk out this morning myself and a mate after having a full english. I can let the dogs loose up here and watch them do there thing. It keeps them quiet til tonight.

her car to put right will cost 250,the merc ive spare parts for looking at 200 that includes back quarter sprayed,it would of cost her a lot more if she went through her insurance and at years of age with 2 accidents in 2 weeks problaby her licence,she seemed a decent sort and spoke well keep saying I'm sorry I told her its only a car we are bothe ok,we will sort it took her home and had her car recovered we all have to get old

You're a patient man. A lot of lads would bring their pup for the car ride and the hustle and bustle of a dig to educate them but when the pup wants to see some action a lot of lads just can't help themselves. Fair play.

Its all swings and roundabouts, Collard doves spread from India and across Europe in the 30's and were unknown in the UK prior to the 50's now most think they were always here. Little Egrets are now common, cattle egrets, glossy Ibis and Cranes getting there and Bustards along with Spoonbills not far behind, seeing a Buzzard would have been a real red letter day as a kid and now hardly noted. Mind the pelican was a bit of a turn up.

Henry,your an interesting guy,there was genuine emotion in your voice when you told us of Fangs loss,i hope you get another mink,who else would have thought of filming an underwater crayfish hunt.....Only you your a lateral thinker,unique,hope you continue to share your hunts with us across the pond,hope you have a great 2018 mate,be lucky
