Had the old deer/grey cross Lima put down today. 12 1/2 year old, retired her at 10. She had mammary tumours for a while, which didn't seem to bother her, but it spread to her lungs and I didn't want to see her suffer so the deed was done. First cross deer/greys seem to have gone well out of fashion these days, and are derided by some, but were the go to dogs back before the Saluki crosses came along, up here at least ! Lima was a decent bitch, all round, considering she was 29" and around 75 lb. She lamped and took daytime hare, fox and roe; had her first go on the wh

Went out tonight with just the pup, not the best conditions, warm still and ambient light from a nearby industrial estate but the rabbits obliged lol. First rabbit, jumped about 10 yards away, he never saw it , second one, good run and put 3 turns into and unlucky. Third one, a squatter, took it out the seat two laps of the field later and he dropped it at my feet, well crunched Fourth one, he ran it into the hedge and it popped back out and he had it, couple of small circles and he brought it back, almost to hand. Had a few more handy ones but he wasn't looking d

Thank f**k they are back there are some good folk out there. Just picked them up from some lasses house, found running down a road.

Me and a mate had planned a beach camp/fishing weekend but he cried off so I thought f**k it I’m going anyway. Grabbed the rifle, rod and pup and headed south to my adoptive county and home of another very good mate and his family. The mackerel were well and truly ‘in’. The water was fizzing with them and bait fish, the bait fish lining the shingle for miles! I had an evening and morning stalking too. A lot of rutting with grunts resonating through the downs. Took a sorrel (probably) that evening and then got on something a bit bigger in the morning. Nothin

Had an invite up to the Scottish hills from Northernlite to bolt a few rabbits with the ferrets to his young ACD cross. Couple of hours travel and we met up around 7 am and were on the hills by 7:30. I took my 5 1/2 month old deer/grey along just for the education and experience, those hill are no place to be running a leggy, heavy young pup, but she had a good walk, seen some sheep, no drama, and got a bit fur in her mouth. The ACD x is a joy to watch, only young herself, but very sharp around the holes, marks well, catches more than she misses, and retrieves well. A

New start with a little youngster after being many years without a lurcher after some real bad luck and being young and dumb at the time listening to others shit and following them I've sourced a cracking pup from some good parents doing all the work im looking for, breeder owns and works both parents and grandparents in the past picking him up this evening a few pics here from when he was 4 weeks plus. a nice fresh start just me and the dogs and hopefully plenty of sport in the future Sire-Beddy Greyhound x Beddy Whippet. Dam- Bull collie greyhound name to be decided

Aup folks, first post thought I’d introduce me and me pup…. my old man was a Lurcher man he passed away couple years ago and never got to teach me the ways of bringing a Lurcher pup on, I’ve got a good bushing terrier already….so I’ve been using the search bar on here to self teach along with them Dave Sleight videos on YouTube, thought I’d show my pup he’s 9 months now had him since he was 8 weeks old, I’ve been doing some lamp training with him at night, I don’t think he’s too far off having a go but not gonna start him yet. Although I can’t wait for that first rabbit. He’s keen as

Bit o wind last night pup done OK

My young prospect for the season 16 mths old and mad keen.. He's a Saluki/ Deerhound/Lurcher mix.. 25 years of testing and breeding have gone into producing him so I'm hopeful he will be ok.

died 2 wks ago.going on 14yrs.A topper.

Can you imagine what that poor girls parents must be going through,...time and time again,..their minds must be in turmoil and probably will remain so, until they die. Personally,..I do not hold with all this civilised society malarkey,...I feel that in this instance,.the cruel creature should have been quickly put down.... Of course,.do gooders and sundry snowflakes will always say, "Yes, but would you be prepared to do the deed".... Er,..yes,..no fecking probs....

Spud took to the lamp like a Duck to water tonight 8 rabbits out of 11

There's a pair of peregrines living in the quarry.they raised 2 young this year.been watching them learn to fly and start catching pigeons the last few months.seen many strikes but the pigeon sometimes flys off leaving a load of feathers floating down..often see just a pile of feathers every few days. But they caught 1 today right by the side of the road..First pic he's just below the puddle.second pic zoomed in...after stripping feather and eating a bit and after a struggle to take off about 6 times he managed to carry it up the rock face..

We are all individuals,...no set rules for everyman... Last night could have been 'Red Panty Night',.. but after 47 years of marriage,. I chose to celebrate our anniversary at the Mowchat Tandoori, with a beautiful Chicken Jalfrezi .. I have no regrets, spending my life with one woman,...I had plenty of action in my youth, so I have no complaints Facts are, its great when you change from constant fecking to priceless friendship,....I would be lost without my Wife.... Stay safe now Brothers,. all the best, OldPhil.

Another good we morning learning bolted a few for her

I built my own mate, but being in the trade I acquired all the timber free, as said above mate timber is expensive at the moment

My 3 keepers from old girls last litter. Kept 2 dogs and a bitch. 11 weeks old tomorrow.

Handy 1 early on second not so easy under 2 be bows of timber !!!

Just setting off on a lovely 6 hour drive to visit my new granddaughter for a few days. Just hope they’ve got some diesel up there for me to get back.

This is what I call the marital life boat. When things are good it's a nice thing to hang out in, when things are stormy I can escape into it. In truly terrible storms it can be towed away but I now have it tucked up somewhere I doubt I'll ever move it from. I built it during a particularly stormy time and lived in it for 18 months til the weather cleared. I will never be without it or something similar.

I take my hat off the this guy.., 119 days to row solo across the Atlantic. The final push to make landfall was a 40 hour slog which in itself would have broken most men. Lad I worked with (also an ex-RM) was regularly posting about his progress. It looked every bit as gruelling as you’d expect. The mental strength and determination of this guy must be off the scale. Well done, just well done Former marine completes unsupported Atlantic row WWW.BBC.CO.UK Dave 'Dinger' Bell arrives on land in Cornwall after leaving New York 119 days...

Wheaton bull grey sire. 1st x deer grey dam And the Bitch I kept back recently covered her with 1st cross dog

An ex American serviceman, had an op and now calls himself a woman. He had an MMA fight and badly beat up a woman fighter. How obscene/ pornographic. It doesn't bother me when people transgender.If they are so unhappy they want to cut bits off their body, that's up to them. But fighting as a woman when his body is clearly that of a man's is just horribly wrong. Using female toilets when you have transgendered is wrong too imo as is placing transgender men in women's prisons or hospital wards. You can make all the intellectual arguments about freedom and sexual identity, but f**k me some t

My new dog first x only had him a few weeks 9 months old 29tts, high hopes for him but won't do nothing with him this season will just let him mature

Bottom line is,...You either use your dogs, or you don't use your dogs,... I have plenty of places that I can walk over, and hunt , 'proper'.....it is not a problem.... But, for most young bucks and other, super keen lads,.. a wee bit of permission sure ain't gonna to last for long... You can only kill the same bunch of deer and hares once,...then you generally need to move on... Men freelance, because they need to keep on, keeping on....simple as that... So,..it would be ridiculously hypercritical of me to say,.. please don't trespass or poach game,... Facts ar

you being black aint no problem to me....after all my my mrs is black..... however the fact your American is the problem ....lol

My bitch is working springer x lurcher....certainly less than half sighthound. The only teeth she come across are squirrels.

I'm surprised Idris Elba didn't get the call....

Few pics from this afternoons walk out, 6 an abit months old now. Showing a real willingness to hunt and use her nose . Was a lot of Fox scent along a gully bottom , an she hunted along well , was very keen an tracked along way. Also tracked a hare along way , witch I could see a fair old way ahead of us , slowly creeping from cover to cover. She followed the scent well, a showed a real willingness to work, was pleased with wat I saw this afternoon stock breaking been a piece of piss with her so far aswel. Had a few heart in the mouth moments as she does everything 100 mph full pelt

Cottage pie. Cheers Arry

Against the wind then the rain we had a cracking day out today, rabbits bolting in 2s&3s from each Warren saw our tally steadily rise to a total of 103, all rabbits go for the table, nets boxes and collars supplied by mark bell rabbit fever until next time Neil B

I mean ... what a morning

How old is she? Paracetamol? Remember when you were at primary school and you fancied a girl so you pulled her hair? Well when you get to your age you buy each other pain relief. She is definitely after you mate. The very fact you are analysing her actions suggests your considering it. Buy her some tana lady and a pack of fixadent and you will be finger blasting by weekend garenteed.

I heard the morhers and fathers statements read out on the radio earlier, I wish I hadn't listened tbh... heartbreaking, I could only (selfishly) think of my kids, what I would feel, the father said about being the protector, that helplessness that he couldn't be there for his daughter....I couldn't live with that feeling.... There aren't words to describe the piece of shit that killed her, he's not human let alone a man.... there isn't a punishment fit for him, but I hope he suffers and dies slowly....

Pigeon burger today. I see Jamie Oliver won his case against burger king saying they are unfit for human consumption so I will stick with these thanks
