Knew there was another kicking around so set the wire Tuesday, knocked most nights, set the bottom of the wire three inches off the grass last night in case it was bounding instead of sprinting because of the wet grass. There it was this morning, textbook, under the chin and half way back over the head. Goes to show sometimes you need to ring the changes.

I've worked a few ex-racing greyhounds. Not in a serious way that some lads do though. Never been into the numbers game or involved in serious pest control. Most of my sport has been hunting small terrier teams in a way that these days I suppose would be called bushing. 1 of the greyhounds was not even mine but belonged to a lad who got a "free to good home" bitch with the intension of breeding from her. He kennelled her for a few years without using her and she did not have a great quality of life. He give me a spare key to his yard and I started to take her along on my "bushing" activitie

my dog is 4yr old.he mark's 100%. will pick up a scent from a ploughed field and track it into the hedgerow/cover and shift it.nothing has straighlined him in speed.never opens up chasing.bullet proof around other dog's.ferrets/chickens/chick's even play around his feet while lying in the garden.and my lads turtle. can work him with hand signals while ferreting getting him to stand where i want him to. other side of hedge burry etc.i hate talking while ferreting.he didnt fully mature untill 3yr old though.his only fault or maybe not a fault which ever way you prefer.he wont hit thick cover/ he

? I've seen this on a lot of these Hunting type forums,...lads bad mouthing other fellahs jukels... Such opinions are best kept private between enthusiasts, as opposed to being broadcast on the Internet to all and sundry,..simply to cause offense or score Brownie points. ? Whatever happened to the universal (unwritten) rule, that you don't slag off another man's dog, or his Family...? I'll add another, in the hopes that a hunting forum can stick to hunting chat, and leave personal asides, to one side..."What happens on the Warren, fecking stays on the Warren".?

We started ferreting at 11, plan was to ferret a wood but when we arrived we noticed pheasants and feeders so we sacked that idea and ferreted the horse paddocks instead. You can see the main warren from the road and you will always see 5 or so rabbits sitting outside it. Not anymore though. We had a few digs today, 4ft the deepest, rocks in the soil for the first foot then it weren't too bad digging. We got one in longnet and couple in purse nets. Brandon had a dig on a 2 holer, and he caught two from 3 from another warren. We then went to a smaller wood and we had a few more in nets. A

I've always started dogs early... A roustabout mouching/rabbiting cur has plenty of devious tricks to learn,...he ain't no athlete, so he needs to be versatile, or he is of no fecking use... I don't keep proper dogs these days,...but, when I did, I ran them as soon as I could,...I did mess up a wee bit, but I often think those failures, were destined to fail anyway...? Good dogs, really good dogs, take some fecking up,..they are special,....they just have IT, in abundance...

Ya can't win em all,....no matter how good your jukel is,.. if you run a dog regularly enough, ..he will inevitably,...meet his match...

Got the pens finished today, just in time for a good down pour

6am this morning and they were out.... so was I with the 97 Blue Demon in its final stage of tune, aptly named the Thors Hammer tune.... finally stopped fettling, now let's go get em!

Ran the local flapping tracks. A one for the pot dog and roamed the streets like most dogs in the 70s.

That's the best answer so far, kick it into the long grass where it belongs, this site and many like it have done untold damage as it is.............I'm only here to keep my eye on you dumb fucks

Yer mum was right lol

Not citing you W.Katchum, just talking in general fellah,...just something I've noticed over the years,...its a free country, folk can do and say what they like...? I'm just an old man,...with an old man's opinions...?

I wouldn't worry myself what a another man's dog can or can't do because I don't feed it if man lies hes only lying to himself but a dog can never lie

achieves nothing imo....out dated practice that's used by those who know no better......there are far more productive things you could be doing to get a youngdog going.seems that lately on here theres a few folk who don't think before engaging their lips?days of knocking doors and getting let on to dig are numbered imo.....most be better off finding a different hobby?

Here she's Is in her prime

Took a quick outing on the incoming wood pigeons wanting to roost for the night. Managed a pidge` trick. atb Mark.

Good pups make good dogs. Hear alot of folks say seen alot of dogs that were ruined by starting too early but i reckon you can get faults by leaving too late aswell.

Out for a mooch with the teckles

seen it run and catch enough when I've been out with it, fast dog to be fair?so the man doesn't put up recent pics.....not a bad thing imo....no need to break his balls ladies?not everyone's a catalogue boy Boris ...doing them selfies lol.?

Needed abit a flesh shot retrieved ground frozen bone hard the style a running same outcome flesh fa the pot and abit da the jukel lol atb billBill

A couple of hours in the fields in the company of someone doing it is worth more than a couple of years reading about it on the internet. Wish you all the best

Mines has killed two to date. Couldn't care less really if they are daft enough to come in then hell mend them. Wee b*****ds keep killing the birds in my garden so what goes around comes around.

I have seen dogs that rattle anything on top but under the sod cowards at best if you can tell by a pup pulling at quarry on a hole end as drive fair play to you its all different ball game in the dark as you know plus it's illeagal to bait what about if it doesn't want to bolt

A couple of my brothers

Obviously not lurchers, but thought they seemed less intense than border collies in their manner. Impressed with the 'sit' stopping them mid flight.

Nice honest post that eastcoast. ?.

A dog that hits a hedge after quarry will catch more it shows heart and determination in the dog granted you don't want them hitting it full tilt sometimes they will just part and parcel of it I supposed have a bitch 8 year old clever dog around cover never had an injury from hitting cover amount of Charlie she pulled Of cover that you would think is gone would open your eyes to the advantage of it.

Stop gurning fs the fecking cat was out killing too karma caught up with it

I

Just for the craic add your own...keep em within the THL law ?

What chance have you got some on here don't or won't believe this is happening to parts of this country if anyones interested read the Dewsbury free press on line the editor tells it as it is he receives death threats for it the man should be knighted for it

How dare he ride off into the sunset with my wife

Id find your first statement completely wrong. Nearly every dog will work something in a stop very well, but 90% of those dogs won’t enter to ground because they don’t want to, it has no relation to the wanting to go to ground and it doesn’t give you an indicator of if your dog will work or wants it.

Spent the morning chatting to a taxidermist from the natural history museum,his friend is a wildlife enthusiast from manang,sets a couple of camera traps up at 5000+ meters,thin air mountain country,truly remote,he has captured some great pics of snow leopards.
