lord Orford 1700's.......lol mind bull lurchers being mentioned in old books I read as a kid, written long before 80's

Been in the garden and dug up some veg for dinner. It doesn't get any fresher. Just can't buy veg like this in the shops.....

No need for apologies. At the end of the day conservation and all forms of hunting go hand in hand. Phil Drabble through his books showed us that by hunting we can also be the guardians of those animal we pursue. He always wrote plenty on the country characters who were adept at catching their quarry because they had studied their quarry. Men like Phil Drabble and Bert Gripton would turn in their graves if they seen the so called hunters who use gadgets to kill a lot of animals. They'd shake their heads in dis-believe if they seen the likes of night vision and electric fox callers. Rightly so.

I thought that would wake you lot up !!! Merry Christmas lads !!!!!

At long last thankfully someone has put up this old footage of one of the best so enjoy and a very Happy Christmas to all of you and your families. yours in sport, Neil.

A phone rings.... Woman answers.... Pervert breathes heavily....."have you got a tight unshaven c**t?" Woman replies "yes...... He's watching the TV, who shall I say is calling?"

Last year, a mate gave me a frozen leg of Munty venison, from the previous year. He said it's probably past its best, but you're welcome to it. I thought "You f***ing beauty" and stashed it away. A couple of months later, I anticipated a tremendous feast.......only to find that (while I'd been away fishing for a couple of days), she'd fed it to the f***ing dogs !

Hea coming on a treat.im surprised how switched on he is.retrieves everything. Ive lamped dead rabbits with him.you know throwing them then switching lamp on.hiding them and pheasants in the day getting him to find and retrieve.all perfect. But can still be immature so just waiting.

Cant hit a f'kin barn door...

There's been bull xes since man utilised running mastiff types maybe sixteen century who know earlier , the pit terriers we now no has American pits were fetched over the Americas with the early settlers some from Ireland others from the other British colonies.they became known has American pit bulls in later centuries ,they nothing but the same has the early pit terriers that were used back the times of old.bull xes hounds have allways been here just not in the vast numbers of say the nineties when they had a boom of popularity fact his any working type animal suffers over time without the pe

Saluki offers a hell of alot to a lurcher for your avarage dog man but it can also take away alot not allways but quite alot. especially after a season or so getting abit of stick.

I seen my first one in balinasloe in 92 what an ugly cnut that was.

Had my first 1/2 Bull 1/2 Grey in the late 70's, and the breeder said they were third generation, a bit like this dog, bit more grey

I'd like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and I hope you all enjoy

Plenty of time for the crimbo fry ups

Happy Christmas everyone. I've got a busy day ahead. We have fourteen head in today and four dog to add into the melee. Luckily everyone gets on and we've never had any problems. Happy day to everyone and a thought for all those not so fortunate as we are.

Theres nothing worst than tea that looks like milky water especially when its full of sugar, I like my tea really dark with just a tiny drop of milk so its just starting to change colour, a proper cup of tea.

the 2 pics are great , the rough hair lurchers , are what most people thank a lurcher is , and they deff have that old fashioned look about them, Merry xmas folks , and keep at'um Ray

A very Merry and Happy Christmas to you all here, lads. I hope you get the guns and kit you want and nothing of what you don't. Down with dull pressies like bloody socks! Best wishes. Simon and Helen.

I had the exact same concerns as the op years back when I returned to air rifles. i leave one space in the mag empty, I put the mag in and close the bolt on the empty chamber, I walk around until I want to take a shot like this, when I have a shot to take then I re cock and chamber a pellet, once fired I do not re cock until I want to take a shot, that way I am never wandering around aimlessly with a loaded gun, I always know I need to chamber a pellet before taking the shot

Had a great day, six hours non stop hunting. Started off with Jess working a fox in a boggy wood, I stood still as she courses around me giving little voice then Charlie came bolting past just to far for a shot. It jumped the river to escape but well done Jess. I missed a crow and a pigeon but after missing a pheasant got this one. I realized I was leading to much and after some ground covering got my second bird. Shortly after that a cock bird erupted and I took my time lead less and fired but out the smoke appeared a runner! I encouraged Jess but she c

What's parallax?

Drabble had opinions and wasn't afraid to voice them but was no anti. His 1964 book "Of Pedigree Unknown" ,should be read by anyone who thinks Brian Plummer's work , "Tales of a Rat-hunting Man", was in any way original.

I worked deerhound crosses but adding saluki based blood just gave them that little bit extra but also adding the right deerhound blood to the saluki types and breeding tight gave us a better animal that really tries and you can give some stick

I don't think it would have mattered if they did. There isn't enough interest in it anymore. Joe Soap couldn't give a flying f*ck and the act is so poorly written you can literally run an entire pack of hounds through the loopholes. The other good news is that because the public believes it to be done and dusted funding for RSPCA and LACS has dropped off significantly and even the moral champions at LACS are fiddling the books in order to keep afloat as they piss away donation money left, right and centre. We need to shut the f*ck up and learn the rulebook. Lads getting prosecuted could s

Got the kids involved in preparing Christmas dinner this year, my godson came over to help pluck the turkeys... don't get much fresher than bringing them on yourselves!!
