Anyone had any just had one done my young yellow bitch

Pic from last week,11 weeks old tomorrow

It's been a great summer weather wise but I'm ready for the cold nights now

Dog pup I bred my close pal has him he comeing on lovely

He has just been freed ......

The thing that a lot of people don't realise is that a hare won't hit top speed until the dog is right behind it. It might look as though it's going flat out, but watch it go down a gear or two when the dog reaches it and you see it was only cruising. That's how experienced dogs can be given massive slips and still get to the hare with plenty of energy left to actually run the hare hard and catch it.

I think for me , loss of liberty would be a terrible punishment. Also being locked up with the witless and the unlucky . The prisons I would guess are populated to a large degree by people with drink / drug problems, learning difficulties. Or just idiots who don’t think the law applies to them . But we have all I’m sure done things that in retrospect were stupid and could have potentially landed us with a stretch at her majesty’s . I watched a program not too long ago about a guy being hit outside a nightclub and died . I know I had a few tear ups when I was young and could have easily ended u

Only in Ireland could you get two months and have three removed ?

Solar powered dogs are the way forward. Saves feeding the cnuts and an argument about best diet.

The chicken sheds have been very quiet recently with very little rat activity due to the change of pest controller who knows his job (b*****d lol).Got the call last minute as usual and turned up with 4 terriers . Like the old days really with rats breaking out as the shed was moving and terriers doing their thing . Finished with 168 with about 20 killed under the shed as it cleared the muck and not in the pic . Hopefully some immunity has been built up . Brings our running tally to 19,775 since starting in 2008

Here you go STR its got a few marks on it but still works fine ill see if i can get it off to you tomorrow mate ill put a new lace on it for you atvbjimmy

U addons can be like marmite, I've had the tv screen type , robin foxer on u tube uses the nite sight viper , I had one and didn't like it , your face lights up like black pool illuminated, and a un natural shooting position, ive had the ward 800l , add on , with the right ir , there quit good , but sold it SL is right , spend once not twice , dedicated NV , And spotter . Is the way to go I've got the pulsar 870lrf , it's a bit dated now , and with the ward b501 torch on top with the ruby black sun pill, I ant joking 600 yards easy , and crustal clear there

Ive never had a coursing dog or been into coursing but one of my old lurchers could kill a hare or two but couldnt do a thing with the hares on the fens the couple of times i went up there with a few lads to have a morning out.I did see a couple of well bred coursing dogs in the hands of good dog lads and to see them killing hares in numbers off of 150yrd slips was an eye opener.

Ive seen a few sporty type lurchers that could knock over a hare or two over the years but to try and compare them to a top class purpose bred coursing dog.Well there is no comparison.

Sorry, but that doesn't sound quite right. Dogs don't break their bones easily at any age, but especially when they're pups playing around and their bones are still green. Unless his garden is full of rat holes...

Well it's time you got off your arse

Dog training is 90% conditioned response, so like training a dog to do anything, the most important rule is to only give the command when you're in a position to enforce it. That doesn't mean you should bash the dog, but if you tell him to come, he should come at once - there should be nothing optional about it. And it's a slow, step by step process over a month or more. So to begin with, only tell him to come when he probably wants to. Then make a fuss of him when he comes. When that gets entirely predictable, tell him to come when he might not want to, but isn't particularly distracted. If y

It’s been suggested a straight whippet, it would deffo help keep the size down which you say you are after. With so many breeds in the mix I think a grew would give you more chance of throwing bigger pups with the greyhound influence from the grew combined with the deerhound and greyhound influence in your bitch.

I believe she took Champions job on the shadow cabinet after Corbyn forced Champion to stand down that's how f****d up this so called political party of the working class has become and has become imho a political party led by middle class left wing university out of touch with ordinary folk types.

STR pm me your addy and post code iv got the same as above and dont use it ill put it in the post for you no charge atvbjimmy

A few weeks back, Si was down this way with his missus - I think they were spending the night in Cheltenham or something. Anyway, Si popped into my work and surprised me with this Philippines Simmonds Whitetail Classic 3.5-10x50 Due to being busy and short staffed at work, I've only managed to get it on the Mercury Challenger today. It's a cracking scope - I can't wait to get out and get a good session with it. Now, both of my retro springers have nice scopes with a good, simple duplex reticle Cheers Si, Much appreciated mate

that spell behind bars really has shaken up tommy,he has lost a shit load of weight.hope to see him back doing what he dose best in the future.we have a saying here in ireland, shake em up.and thats what i hope he keeps on doing.

Marydoll I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but it’s nothing to do with Albert or the game fairs. However, what happened on Sunday cannot be condoned by any right minded person. It’s time everybody that runs a show stood up to bullies and cheats....... any kind of behaviour that involves threatening people, head butting people or going for somebody with scissors should be an automatic lifetime ban from any event that’s supposed to be a day out and a bit of craic. Decent people are fed up with this and it seems to me that some can get away with it time and time again. Enough is enough!

That's the thing with the coursing bred dogs, they can be crossed with other types if you want to adjust the running style for smaller land etc, but a top saluki lurcher is an end product really when it comes to the hare game

Yeah they don't even want you in there,the prisoners are been punished enough

He will definitely get off with this ... this is a very small snippet of the information there is tons of transcript and the appeal judge summing up on this guys twitter feed .......

there's a world of a difference between a lurcher hunting up and catching a hare or two and a good coursing dog killing good hares in winter, and there's a world of difference between a good hare killer, and a reel top class dog, and I know lots off hares are not given fair law but that the man not the dog, over the years I done some crazy slips, if it pulls it goes lol.

To right dark cold nights not long now and it will be here

Don't you start with all that jibber jabber plenty of time yet....... plus mines still young so he got plenty of time to settle into the season won't be going full on to start with

Nice dog that bud I've not bothered starting to get mine running fit yet been to bledy hot for me let alone the dog.

I'd wager that the establishment are getting nervous at the amount of support this mans cause is getting and to try n stop it would further his support and turn us natives against the establishment itself and vote accordingly

Hope this works daytime badger and baby deer encounter, sorry video won't work but here are a couple of pictures from it ignore dates and time on camera, I don't bother setting them just been out to do an sd card swap on some of the cameras cheers

I'm not a gambling man but I'd take a wager he'll not do any more time (for this offence anyway).

I don't think there's a hope in hell he will be re-convicted, they knew he was going to be released on his appeal day it was just a saving face exercise to keep him in until now.

That's why kerney is so aggressive on here.?

He's currently residing in a police safe house in Sailsbury!

Glad you said catching, not coursing. Was the same myself with my old dog. Very powerfully built, and just looked too plain, big and bulky. People that scoffed at me and thought I was exaggerating about him, went very quiet after they saw him catch. Massive difference between hare catching and hare coursing. Oh yeah, dog was 26" tts and almost 80lb in weight, fit. Caught me loads of hares, and every one of them would've been before about 25 seconds

Take mine anywhere and you be lucky to kill

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say a big thanks to Nick8310 for taking me rabbit shooting and passing on some knowledge. If anyone has a permission and is looking for an experienced shooting buddy with a rimfire or shotgun in Essex, Nick is a really nice guy to go shooting with.

As long as they have not been left cocked they should be good to go if out they may need a de,grease and re,grease that should be about it best thing is to give them both a little plinking sesh and listen to how they perform if they twang then a greasing you will go lol and as for a new rifle you cant go wrong with ether of the ones you have mentioned but the 98 is more a target rifle but just as good out in the field . A 97 if bought new will need a de,grease and re,grease to be made better plus a polish of the internals or a tuning kit fitted but ince you have h

Mitch you need to have a look out doors mate in a field its a hole new ball game honest it blows nv out of the water mate just wish i had the money for one or a credit card lol would be worth getting into det for one lol They are a lot of money Mitch but if you have the land and the pray to warrant a one then there a must in my eyes . and fitted to an FX IMPACT then its the perrrrrrrfect combination. I just love using Alan's its the best part of being out shooting with him when he say,s here you use the impact and ill drive its like Xmas has come e

Young dog thing mine has just past 1 year knows come 100% but sometimes will just stand there and look at me like I'm saying something totally new just keep up the training and try not to get to annoyed it will pass ...... well that's what I tell myself anyway

Just seen this thanks. Sorry i haven't been on here of late what with the new arrival and all. As for Kevin if anyone has an opportunity for him he is a safe shot listened to everything i said no problems, hes a genuine guy just trying to get out shooting more. ?

Got to be the HWV for me

you can buy a line bred coursing pup for a couple of hundred, bring it up well enter it when it is physically and mentally ready and that may not be at the same time so be patient and you may get a world beater or pay a few grand and stick yer chest out, its your choice as for colly crosses killing hares I can assure any one unless its a freak it wont kill 3 winter hares coursed proper any where, I had a whippet sized bitch with saluki and beddlington in it that used to kill foxes single handed in winter and make a proper job of it, but I aren't daft enough to compare that to a proper fox dog

Gentleman.
