i thought it might be interesting to here what peoples first experiences with coursing dogs/lurchers were and when, mine was 1969/70 when I was a small boy out bird nesting and playing in the fields and woods around home I used to see hares all over and our mongrel used to yap off into the distance and i longed for a dog that could catch one, there was a litter of running dogs in the village these were beddy whippet x saluki not that that meant much to me at the time the bitch I bought for £3 was fly and she was a world beater in any ones eyes. the pic has been seen before but fly is the big

Not a big bag but not very often we get a nite on our own so the wind was up so took the dogs out for a hour and picture not the best but a good nite and the dogs got a bit of work

It's getting like an old tarts site on here, which iPhone, which stupid German penis extension car, which trainers, get a van and be a man all those things do is keep you on the merry go round of buy something you can't afford work your nuts off for five years to pay for it so you can chop it in for next to nothing and start all over again, unless you have the disposable income to go out and purchase it outright non of them are any better than the other, ???

With my intro to hunting it was all guns,snares and night lines{fishing},ferrets and egg collecting.I vividly remember the whippet that somehow ended up amidst all this and the hours and hours i spent in the fields with that little sandy bitch,i was less than 6 years of age and can still remember,over 50 years later,how she yapped the place down on hares,she managed the odd hare that she worked off its seat and again i still remember the flying fur and how she struggled with holding on to them,she caught a bunny or two and became a useful ferreting companion,her ace in hand was her ability to

With living in the sticks my house takes a bit of abuse from the weather, so it doesn’t take much for it to knock of the tv, WiFi, and occasionally like last night the electricity. With that it generally means it’s a good time to get out with the dog. Fired up the generator to keep the freezers going and off out. There wasn’t a great deal about on the spot but we managed a few runs and he didn’t miss many so pleased with his effort, it’s great to watch the little whippet twisting and turning like a contortionist, even more so when I’m used to watching the big dog, who to be honest turns

Are you getting a new picture for your bedroom Kevin

IPlenty of hunting today.marked 3 different foxes to ground.two bolted and one dug.great day out.good scent and plenty of foxes couldn't ask for more.

Can make me change my mind about giving up shooting it was my life long friend Viz We have been there for each other through some troubled times more than once lol I love the man to bits he is like a brother to me and like wise id like to think . Any way lads it was windy as feck last night we got there just before dark hit the woods first just as the pigeons were coming in to roost viz got 5 with the fx stream line and the photon i could not make them out lol then off for a wander around the fields i ended up with one rabbit and viz with one as wel

My grandfather always had a lurcher and to b honest I karnt remember when my family didn't keep a running juckel or two, Most had bedlington in them,and I always remember a Fawn ruff coated dog that slept under the trailer he wouldn't sleep in his box,he was a good dog. First hare dog i see was my uncle's he had been to Ireland to collect a stunning Black pup,and he popt in to show me dad, That Greyhound x whippet took many hares and it was seeing him run that got me thinking, I got two collie Greyhounds when I was 14 they mostly hound blood. I would leave the site every mo

If bettering yourself is loading yourself with more debt please don't let me stop you, I,m sure your neighbours will be well impressed, I call it realistic as opposed to miserable, I,ve spent a lifetime making myself recession proof after seeing so many people who thought they were doing great go to the wall over a couple of percent increase in the interest rates, and if it is a gift from your multi millionaire boyfriend always remember to work the shaft while tickling the balls ???

Had to go to my squirrel permission to see if the feeders needed filling up ,but spotted this in the field and thought it would be rude not to Text book shot with the first one for FX crown .22 FAC 76 yards 1 mill hold over AA field 18gr

Back in the 80s, I used to take my Wife along on all the paid rabbit jobs,...I always charged for a two-man team,...she worked dirt cheap...

Fancied a walk, feeling better and my Mrs hogging the TV remote I grabbed the 22 and some eley HV HP. Decided to circle some rough ground that is ideal for fox to lie up in during the day and dodge me during the day. Some early mornings I get lucky but I likes me bed! This summer anyway. I was half way around and three silenced center fire shots rang out, less than a mile away upwind! I carried on my course. My lamp spots a fox the other side of a valley, at least 400yds or more. I stalks it down to under 100 yards. Sitting down I could not aim so I waited, r

I took my missus lamping,trailed her all the way up the Dales to some of the most inhospitable and difficult of land imaginable,she still found her way back.

I no 3k a week is achievable but I don't want to achieve it, as it comes at a price, I live a frugal life and am happiest walking round in the woods turning over stones and looking up trees I have zero ambition exept to leave my kids a good start which I,ve achieved so I,ll just carry on earning enough to live and spend as much time as I can living instead of working, I,ve grafted my bollacks off over the last month but not for a new car but so I can have the next month doing what I want and when the dollar is gone I,ll have another pop for a few weeks, I don't need material things only practi

By chance as a kid coming home at dusk from a fishing trip i spotted a dog coursing a hare on local farm land. i was aged about 12 so 1976. First time in company a old fella let me tag along 1983 he had a first cross saluki /greyhound went out every sunday morning from then on.

Imagine noodle arms rocking up in one of them said motors, be like Mr Burns out of The Simpson's getting out ,struggling to open the door ? ?

I go lamping to get away from my Misses , Good to see mate,it lookt good night, wish I could see 3 never mind catch them . Nice dog , how's it bred.

Scrub the lot and get a hilux ..? but ...merc Audi beemer ..

Bloody miserable wet weather, so I lit the fire, walked the dogs and came back in and got a lump of bacon that I cured from the last pig. Tasted bloody lovely, well happy with it.

As some of you know I ordered a FX crown .22 FAC , it arrived just over week ago ,all I managed to do is to scope it up . Any how this weekend I have spent about 5 hours zeroing crown in , testing with different pellets , different power settings with different pellets and still not finished with this yet . Barrel does not seem pellet fussy with a wide range of pellets , even H&N are half decent ,which I can never to get these to work in any of my guns . Best three pellets so far AA field 18gr , JSB exact 15.9gr and falcon accuracy plus 13.4 gr all though H&N barracuda

Of course phil. Just think how boring bits of life would be without working dogs ... running dogs in particular ?

I recognize that feeling ....so much pain, and heartache over so many dogs,... over so many years,...I often ask myself, all things considered,...was it all really worth it...?

I use Tung oil on all my walnut stocks take the stock off then give it a rub over with 0000 wire wool then clean it off with a damp cloth to remove all the bits of wire wool then put the oil on with your hands a good amount at first then let it stand for an hour then buff it off then let it stand for a good few hours then buff again if it needs more just repeat the process atvbjimmy ps,,,you can give the stock a soapy bath after you have wire wool.d it this will also remove any old oil that is in the wood and help the grain pop use the soa

Chicken farm was getting severe fox damage this last few weeks , so after the bad weather me and the farmer decided to try a few spots , 2 nd spot produced old Charlie boy , after 20 minutes Brian bolted it and it was cleanly shot , little bitch and Brian had a rag at the dead fox at the end

Better picture of the dogs

Waking up in the front of my dads Ford transit van and being scared because he wasn’t there . Then I look out the window and could see my dad in the field slipping he’s lurcher on a hare . Reckon I could’ve only been about 19 years old at the time ? only joking I was about 5 lol . When I think back I can’t remember a time when my dad nether had a long dog or a terrier

I went with my heart. Just picked up my new toy ???

Here we go , cause some one has one , it’s the next secret squirrel best type like malamutes, gsps, mallnois , gsds, nudge nudge wink wink if galgos were any good , people would have them. I can name twenty coursing dogs that would stick every galgo in the world up it’s arse ten days a week

osca will be running his 10th season this year, the rain has come the ground is right and were bursting to get back out on the land , he will lead the way followed by his daughter , good luck for the season lads and lasses atb bobza

Very clicky in there worse than thl lol once your in though your in and few months here and few there suit me.. have the waste clearance running at same time so get to do both and alot of fishing when i want.

Pleasure doing business with you pal not had a chance to have a full on go with the imp but I’m going to make time through the week glad you got what you was after too mate. Top guy mate thanks again ??

Birch Polypore mate A very investing fungi, It is edible but very bitter. Iv'e tried soaking in salt water also tried soaking in milk still not good. Iv'e said before in one of the other mushroom threads, its anti cancer, anti septic can be used a Elastoplast, you could carry a hot ember in it apparently a real Boy Scout fungi. Cheers Arry

Another bolted and cleanly got away three thick bramble

Nearly finished. Bit of painting and a few beading. Maybe a floating mantle

Ffs that was the bamboo handle on the fishing net

It should read 40% greyhound. I've got a pup from this litter, as does a mate, and we're pleased with them.

£9.99 nothing a month and a cupboard full of food, I,m starting to think I,m the driest fecker on here, what with me old cars and old phones but I just hate owing anything to anyone and all these little contracts in life just seem a way of drip feeding every one,s money away from them without them noticing

My Mrs used to like the odd mooch she can't be bothered now so I just get her cleaning the kennels out now

Nice set up, have a few mates that keep them, I used to have several tanks but just own this one large bow front tank now and here,s one of my plecks doing a sterling job of keeping it clean I also keep a humbug catfish in there that keeps a good balance with the live bearers, the tank has,nt been cleaned or had a water change in years so recon it's quite a good balance, best bit I bought it for £50 off a dude that had his house repossessed after getting into debt on finance???

Cichlids are great fish to keep. Not mine but my mate is keen on his fish and sends me photos.

haha just spilled me coffee lol

He has fcuked most of them

Oh sorry greyman people arent allowed to better themselves in life. Fucks it got to do with you if people buy or finance or lease or could even be a gift from a multi millionaire client ?.. misreble c**t you are mate.

And the world of frozen Mitch lets not forget the world of frozen atvbjimmy

Good to see you back to health, he’s a big old boy? And the fox is fair size too ???

All of a sudden my chronic back pain has returned and it’s having a very negative psychological affect on me
