Been on second 500mileish round trip, this time to bring the pup home with me. Cracking little pup. Lovely wi kids and other dogs. Good day, let the fun begin! 1/2Grey 3/8Whip 1/8Beddy

My young hopeful just walking her over the park had the odd flirt with bunny nothing silly hopefully she makes the grade for me

I spent a long time reading and researching different mixes and breeds. Spoke to a few on here over PM about theirs to get some more info. 99% of what I plan on doing will be bunnies either ferreting or lamping/mooching so was looking whippet and beddy whip but then I fancied summat that could have a go at the other 1%. Spoke to a few different lads with litters but got things from 'be ready at 5-6wks' or even as far as 'mother isn't here anymore' so didn't bother looking. Then a chap on here put me onto em. He had grandsire and also the mother's sibling I think. Right mix for

Few pics of my mate Bruce along with me, Irish Frank and John Bell. Had some great times with the terriers and lurches with Bruce through the years, was an honour to of helped carry his coffin at his funeral

My pup , not sure he will be ready until after Christmas, still a daft pup , almost ten months

Nice looking feet doesn't mean injury free feet.

In my younger days when you used to pitch the bales up with a eval (pitch fork) you would be in the fields to gone 11pm if the rain was coming in. These muppets that move in and kick off about the smell and the noise wan't to feck off back where they came from if they don't like it. The same twats that sign the petitions that get hunting banned and try to stop shooting and country pursuits, but think they have the right without permission to wander across fields leaving gate open or letting their dog chase stock. They have no idea how the countryside works. Cheers Arry

She was going to be a big one going by her paws. She came in to my impression of a squeaking mouse. Only a forty yard shot. I saw another. An old friend. It lets me light it up once and then it's gone. I shot this one about a mile from home and just as I got in bed a fox howled on the back field! A definite two finger salute to me I don't doubt one bit! Shot with the federal 50grn. I am going off them....they don't expand on these small varmints. Oh they kill them eventually but not as quick as hornady and other lighter loadings. They work for sure put in the ri

At the end of the day a good stockmans stock are ALWAYS in good order working or not ........

Jeeze! Socks does worse than that sharpening a knife! Cheers, D.

Cheers fella Was talking to the lad and he said someone who was due to view rang him at last minute and said they had found summat closer. One of the main traits in a lurcher that, locality! Bonkers!!! Way I see it it's only a day and then a decade and some of service and fun hopefully. Looking forward to it!

?? that wins comment of the day ??

Thought this was going to be another post about shitting in ditches ?

And a photo of a tidy foot doesn't mean all the rest are the same.mine just meant that at that particular time he stood rather well on a nice surface and thought i'll quickly get a photo before he moves.

Cheers mate, he's never gonna be a Derby winner but doing really well considering. Great character and nature, good company for mooching. No fool in the intelligence stakes either which surprised me for a sighthound. Roll on September.

We must have imported the cream of the crop then,seeing you think they are shivering wimps that don't catch their prey.To me they are the quickest, most athletic dog on the planet and the best pure bred dog for rabbits.

......if you jerk it fast enough you should do...

Who rattled your cage jacker yanother one its in good order are you at your best if so get up brum we have unfinished business or would you like a free pass ya favourite pottery centre Emma Bridgewater we ca. Sort the straightener on canal siding atb bill

As above putting the miles in and research on something that's with you for years is only right fair play to ry im sure the pup will have the best of careers shame a lot don't think like him

? could be something in that, little fecker thinks he owns the place. ?

Any new barrel should be cleaned from out the box. All sorts of packing grease could be down there!

Yes mate he's got a cracking nose . He's 19 months old and should have had a full season behind him but was hit by a land rover at 8 months, set him back a long way. Started with the ferrets in November and picked it up really quick, marking and following the action, anticipating the bolt well. Had the left femural head removed and the right hip joint pinned. Amazing how he's recovered, loads of hydrotherapy has built muscle up and he's ready for the coming season.

bless her you have to give it to the old bird , she told em

Sea fishing once you have the gear is free and a carp rod and reel will cover a hell of a lot of fishing from the shore ..

Got a few fine days forecast , rain coming Wednesday/Thursday maybe. The cover crops could do with a soaking , they are looking dry now . I always find it a bit nerve wracking putting the birds to wood , is there something nasty in the pen we missed when we ran the mutts through ? Am I going to have cubs spooking them over the fence and nabbing them ? Are Buzzards going to play havoc with them ? Is the weather going to change for the worse ? You name it , I worry about it ! ? But I wouldn’t want to do anything else , I must be mad !?

No Excuse for nails like that any time of year, like a sea eagle ffs ? And before you start with the coded shit ? , If you put pics up of a foot like that on a topic called Feet on an open hunting forum expect comments. Get them nails cut FFs or get on the salmon with it ?

I was brought up around gun dog's. Check the Spinone out on my left... yes that's me!,?.... like the gadder between my knees??? I'm pretty sure i'm about ten there.. wich makes the photo about '86/87. 42 now? My old man took the Spione on as a sapling.. poor dog had fell into the wrong hands so he go lucky, and came to us. There was seriously only a genuine hand full of these in the country at this time. What a hunter! No training required. All natural. Me and my school mate used to love setting him off into big 50 acre fields of winter wheat to find a seated hare.. wich he surl

I’m sure he was rude and ignorant and horrible to women and all of those things .. but he didn’t give a f@ck what anyone thought of him !!! He was his own person and a character, and I admire that . Too few English eccentrics around now . The media is now run by politically correct Homosexuals, and he didn’t fit in to what they wanted us to watch ... sad .

MLol give it time mate just getting set up for the bbq it’s been a hell of a busy morning only a light breaki as I went gathering samphire off the Thames Had a bit of pie n eels to tide me over ???

? a pic don't lie

green lurchers thread first thing sat morning......even the title suggested food I'm expecting to see some pics of some slap up breakfast ......im disappointed mate....

I lived near chard for a while and used to fish the river Axe down in the tidal zone where the old railway/tram lines runs alongside on the other bank,there's boulders in the river and you can find peelers under them and i used to catch a few bass and plenty of good sized eels there.As it goes one eel i caught on a few left over rag worm i had was fat with peelers and i gutted it out and used what was in it's belly to catch another 3 eels ..

I’ve worked my whippet in the snow whilst it was blowing a gale snow literally being blown in your face (I am clearly not very bright ?) and I gave up a lot quicker than him! He had the raging hump when I packed up and left and didn’t want to leave a Warren he was marking! Never seen him give up due to conditions, shivering wreck couldn’t be further from the truth in my experience.

Good on the old girl

Here is a video I made fishing a local 40 acre reservoir. I was relatively new to this venue having only had a recce session previously but I knew it held potential. I show the simple methods, rigs and baits I used and caught some cracking fish. I hope you enjoy the video and that it helps.

I have seen dogs run with some serious bad feet on bad ground that didn't seem to hinder them suppose it boils down to heart and your expectations

Wish mine had listened about cleaning it!!!!

We had the first birds arrive on Tuesday, I didn’t take any photos or do a write up . But I took some today . The birds I got today are 6 weeks old they are common ring necks from overwintered hens . They all look good so far and well feathered . It’s been quiet around the first pen so far , but I don’t like to speak too soon . I’m on watch tonight as I’m sure there is a fox about , by this pen . The first birds I put to wood have settled in well and they have spread out well with no bunching up on the wire and a lot are getting up to roost on low branches. I get my birds clipped, I think it

Don't think much of the state of the feet. Bit of road work wouldn't go amiss.

Beautiful little owl staring into the lens whilst oblivious that an audaciously bold and daring soldier winged beetle risks its life and limb sitting on the the tremendous claws and talons of this bird... Such an easy snack for the little owl, literally at its feet...

Cheers, D.

"my child's allergic to all bees and wasp stings" Me: That's highly unlikely, the stings are different and it's rare to be allergic to both. "she's highly allergic and the doctor says she might die" Me: You don't even have a nest they are just feeding on that bush. "my child can't play in the garden" Me: Because bees are feeding happily on a bush? "LOOK CAN YOU DO SOMETHING OR NOT??????" Me: F*ck off "what" Me: sorry what?

The mist coat or king coat as it’s called should only ever be used on new plaster Chris .Stick to straight paint over painted walls .
