A nice cup of Earl grey and a fatty.... Rocking the council estate lol?

The board's dealing with strategy

Years ago the otter hounds 'sought' protection for the otter resulting in them being licensed every year to hunt it. Then one year when they went to get the license it was simply revoked leaving them high and dry. Can you imagine the underhanded biased system that would come into play. Terriermen would be refused a license here there and everywhere based on false allegations of this, that and the other. And how would you fight it or how long would it take...1,2,3 years of keeping dogs waiting for a repeal would see anyone off. I'd be very careful of what you wish for. Do you think you could tr

No offence Apache..... but it's a simple fact of life that terrierwork is the ONLY form of hunting with dogs which the Hunting Act 2004 doesn't seek to ban. Things like that don't just happen by accident, or as a result of some form of divine intervention by the Holy Father. It requires people who are willing and prepared to put their head above the parapet, spend countless hours pounding the corridors of Westminster in order to talk to politicians of all persuasions and put the case/defend properly conducted terrierwork (rather than the shameful exhibition we recently saw on TV). Through

Terrier work is like a dildo. In the right hands it's very precise and effective. In the wrong hands. It can do a lot of damage.

That statement is way out of line and something that the anti's would say. That is not how most lads go about the job at all.

I had this tied up and was going to take the skull, but the damn HSE had it towed to deep water by the fishery protection vessel because of complaints pfffffft. Now that would have made a good specimen, didn't half pong though.

This years batch, about a mile or so from last years litter. Same vixen maybe? Who knows. (Apologies for quality, photo'd them off my camera screen)

A slow down on the mass production of pups for sale might be a start be more carefull who they sell the dream ta might help.

Lads are only giving there opinions corkman that's all everyone's entitled to that. I'm not one for going ta AGM and that prefer me own company but I will join both federations if it's funding that helps any cause.

This got me looking at my old old photos, you just don't look at them any more with computer etc. Any way heres one of me more than 55 years ago, loved be out there catching some thing. its a bit beaten up I'm afraid. Cheers Arry

Went to one of my salad farm pemissions today and got 2 adults rabbits and a few young ones, (had to get the young as staff were about), seen loads of rabbits big and small but grass was a bit long in places, got these at the mound 45mtrs from the greenhouse window.

Just bought me a bluebottle destroyer of eBay it is a pump action salt shooting smile maker lol. Been out stalking fly's this morning and finding it quite addictive. Even my old lurcher has joined in the fun and picking up the walking wounded lol.Was going to do a line up of my kills but the dog ate them.

With the camera of course... Boring time of year so been passing my nights watching a local litter. 7 cubs, the vixen and the dog all in the area most nights. Hopefully keeps the area well stocked for Winter.

You might want to reword that jon before ginger beard and kerny see it before they to excited

I'm at about 15 seconds at the moment...

And your blazing up too, bit stingy on the grass ?

Few of these after a days digging ? Few if these when the sun's blazing ??

Hard to comprehend some of the statements and beliefs of people on here at times? Barrie's response explained quite adequately the huge effort that the NWTF and indeed Barrie and others have put in to keeping "your" pastime legal and that's a fact. Doing nothing and hiding your head in the sand achieves "nothing". The amount of hours and commitment is to be commended, where thanks is rarely given and never sought. The fact this work is not broadcast on the WWW doesn't mean nothing is being done or the many achievements made over the many years. If it was not for men like Barrie standing up fo

What licensing does do, is to impose a set of rules/regulations relating to conduct (the conditions of licensing) and draws a very distinct line between those who would act within the law, as opposed to those who would not. You break the rules.... then you lose your license and face the penalties. That way the onus falls on the individual, rather than on the responsible majority. J.M.H.O. - Barrie

Great place to have a poke about ......

No disrespect fella..but heres a fact.. only because of the NWTF & IWTF and there many meetings and submissions codes of conducts is the reason in UK and North and South of Ireland..you can legally use a single terrier to ground..you think these federations didn't put there neck on the line to PROTECT properly conducted terrier work..and what was portrayed in that programme is what these federations stood tall and totally condemned any types of animal cruelty face to face with the very folk who had a say..and because these federations stood up is the reason your hunting in Ireland..terrier

Well lads, the morphed pistol works. Only a 25yard proposition but very accurate and quiet with an old rimmie mod on it. U.

Hes coming on well. Good strong pup.

My dog at 8 weeks old to her now a 2 year old

Absolutely scorching up here in the Highlands few pics of my walk

You should stay off the drink.

Hi Apache Thank you for your understanding, I'm sure there's far more on which we'd agree than we could ever disagree ?. Most definitely, you're correct. Apart from the UK, every other country where I've hunted and several others which I've visited have all had some form of licensing/regulatory system in place. And as a visiting outsider I never saw anything which led me to believe they had any less freedom to practice than we did here in the UK, in fact quite the reverse. In some countries, the mere fact that the relevant Hunting Associations have detailed sets of rule books ou

What is the matter with the people of the UK 60million people and only .5 percent have bothered to do anything about our unjust Government. If it wasn't for Tommy, hardly anyone would know about the thousands of young girls and boys being raped drugged and murdered in the UK. So if you are with Tommy , please make shore all your friends and family have signed the petition. If not for Tommy, then please think of your children and there kids future. Now is the time to stand, before its to late.

I've heard good things about the road brush he's tooth x toilet back to a standard council

Saw this on my way to get a pint of milk...

I recall in the early 60's I would sometimes get a ten bob note in a birthday card ?(or a 5/- postal order), thought I was rich

F*ck it... Here's my tea. Pork shoulder and a chicken. Don't know what the rest of the family is having mind...

I think we have agree to disagree lads but I know if I got a knock on the door right now and was asked to get a license to dig to my terriers I would fly down and get one and if I got caught digging without one I'd get my van and dogs confiscated my house raided and a prison sentence, f**k me it's a no brainier. And let me tell you fellas is not a nice experience enough said ?.

This old photo solved a mystery for me while I was researching my family history as I was told one of our family was killed on a railway while rabbiting by my sister. Twigged it when saw this photo of my Grans mother and father on the back of the photo was written "Jock was killed on the railway line catching a rabbit 1937". Their daughter my gran. Loved her more than my parents, never saw her as young as this. Cheers Arry

Had my first fight 60 years ago ,

I went to the doctors with hearing problems. He said "Can u describe the symptoms?" I said "Homers a fat bloke and Marge has blue hair"

The day I became an honorary member of Nez de Cuir. Hubert Coipel, master of Nez de Cuir, offered me one of his best tools. Very proud.
