seeing rabbits and hares swimming rivers to avoid the dogs chasing them....but the best one was a hare running up a hollow log to avoid capture by my bitch Sally the log went from the ground at one end where the hare went in and went up at an angle to about 5 foot of the ground ....the bark was quit thin and we could touch the hare in places where there were tiny holes....we left her there in peace...

I lived and breathed them from running all corners of this land from Devon to the highlands the dogs brought me many highlights and a few lows they cost me a divorce a house and a few quid else were but wether lamping or digging the company was normally top class but in my eyes it's gone now to what it was I have my memories I have had the privilinge of seeing some very good dogs work in great knowledgeable company

Had the lad that gifted and bred Tilly out with us today to see her have a few runs.

I wake up in the morning, that'll do me ? Cheers, D.

He's done for the season now, has filled out a bit and put on a bit of bulk. Had a fine season for a young dog, no reverse. All in all very happy with him.

? It's good to look back on past events, remember your old hunting pals and the exciting times out with the dogs,..but, film wise, there is a time to switch the camera off? Most men know when that time is, and they act accordingly... In saying this,..and considering my own past deeds, it is a case of 'what any man chooses to do with his dogs, is entirely a matter for his own conscience'... End of story really...?

Hooked into a pike on light spinning gear when I was a kid, it came cruising through the water in front of me like a f***ing submarine, flared it's gills, opened wide and chucked up adult brown rat! The big girl then whipped her tail throwing the treble and cruised off one way while the rat sank into the depths. Not particularly strange but cool.

The only downside for me is my sex life has deteriorated because she's in all the time ? Cheers, D.

I once saw a bloke stood outside Doncaster race course at half ten at night and thought what the fcuk is he up to... ??

Put a lollypop stick up your back for support.

no wonder the job is fkd .bloody mobile phones were and are your worst enemy if you take dodgy photos and post on the interweb .,what happend to the days when you did a bit .left a footprint and thats all ..

Tending to agree with what a few lads on hear have said and i carn't see myself having another lurcher how times have changed 35 years ago i ended up in hospital after having a run in with local keepers wile lamping rabbits poaching and the lads at the pit i worked at had a whip round for me .The shitty warehouse job i am in now it would be my p45 they would be handing me not a few bob.lol

On the drive home from Hessle during the first lockdown I saw a weasel run across 3 or 4 lanes of the M62 right in front of me, narrowly evaded a car and a lorry. I was made up that the critter made it safely to the other side.

I know you lads see them often ,but I have only ever seen one kingfisher and watching it for a while was special for me .

I got nominated for slow cooker duties today.. I like the concept of these things though....... fill and f**k off!!?

Get back in the house ye daft twat

This was before the Covid-19 crisis. Badger hunter crew meeting in France (near Roanne). We have seen wire-haired fox terrier, wire-haired dachshund, smooth-haired fox terrier, jagd terrier, patterdale terrier, welsh terrier working. Beautiful countryside and good friends.

The Old Bitch Sadly Not With Us Anymore But She Was A Cracker & That Is Coming Out In Her Pups? Atb cbx

Up with keepers today .and having a clean up for farmer as he lambs shortly . First spot produced 3 foxes .Little dogs hunted very well .keeping to one fox true as a dye .it was shot but managed to get back to wood .dogs found him stone dead. Second spot was a rock pile crag with bit of Heather on crags .fox was away before dogs really got on him .missed by 2 guns and away to live another day . After dinner checked a few earths and Brian found a big dog fox .couple minutes he was out n shot ,Brian done well again . But he was feeling the day now .sadly all dogs get old

Took hik 15mm out spotting squirrels for first time.... Game changer. Took a dozen in two hours.

I was out hunting years back with the RA (Royal Artillery ) and as my name suggests I had brought along a baggy .This was years ago so no dramas lads .Fox was in a poultry crate that I gave to the terrierman back then . Later in the day ,in a lull in proceedings , out comes the crate and into a hedge where the lid was pulled open .Foxy takes a brief look round and makes a bolt for it ,hounds hollered and the fox does a loop of the field and back in the crate .Hastily put the crate back in the landy and that fox earned his freedom back where it was dug .Boy did I get some stick ?

Home from a cold days graft to a freshly made sweet potato, coconut, and cardamom soup starter. I could get used to this ?

I saw one once at an ex girl friends parents house running down the driveway wall! I ran out to check the little guy out and I was obviously so fascinated by the experience that it didn't once cross my mind to take the opportunity to flatten the little c**t! I'm sure to anyone reading this the strange part of it isn't the mole bit but the girlfriend bit. c**ts....

Not had much time to be out overnight in nature lately and I’m getting cabin fever being in the house every night so although it’s not quite the same I’ve stuck the bivvi up in the garden and I’m going to spend a couple of nights under canvas. It’s good for a relaxed mind .......

Tb25 send me your number mate

Out ferreting. Little owl in the net. Defo a one off. Jok.

That back tyre is a disgrace.......?

I’ve now moved my cooker outside as well

They fecking do on sundays, it's like a old 4x4 convention at times round me....

This is the fancy pigeon.... she dances for me and sits on my shoulder when I go round... wee slag ?

Fuk if I'd be sleeping in a tent when I have a good bed in the house lol Don't get it twisted I don't mind sleeping in a tent but only when its a necessity, what ever floats your boat ?

Ahhr. Experts! X= the unknown factor and pert as in like an erect nipple!

Cheers, D.

And he’s a fukcing liar .....

Had a nice 3 hour session with HW 77 long today, slow going and bitterly cold but I loved every minute of being out there lads. The wood pigeons are still hitting the rape crops but getting near them is very trying, they are so, so Wiley, the Boom! Boom! boys had a full session on them last wednesday, with shot guns, got one shot off and that was it ! Check zero. So I thought I`d try last weeks tactics again, full leaf suit top to bottom inc` hands and head, Primos shooting sticks/ bucket seat and in amongst the hedgerows.

Obviously keeping it legit; all would have loved to have run reds on exmoor with the lurcher but we can't now. Where would you like to hunt/fish outside your norm? I'd like a crack at the rabbits on the dales. Tope in North Wales, Blonde Ray in South Wales, skate in West Scotland, pollock/coalies and cuckoo wrasse on the Isle of skye, stingray on the South Coast are the main ones on my list.

I agree but a picture say a thousand words when your old looking back them pics will bring back memory’s from just looking at them

Yes I read it in my youth and remember enjoying it, I remember all the books I read wrote by Plummer being a good read TBH. As said above fiction but enjoyable.

Your all skinny shortarses ? 6'3" and 16 stone ?

I think there buzzards?

Stags in the meanest country Scotland can offer.

Bog standard but tasty Cheese and onion pie ? Cheers, D.

Another good dig for the young bitch.

10 month old, confident feet, fantastic nose, good recall, getting there with the jumping, looking forward to next season ????

I agree with JDhunting about the upside down justice system that gives more punishment for this than peados or burglary. But there is an underlying sentiment on this thread that the only crime they committed was getting caught. I’ve been involved with terriers and running dogs my whole life , I was one of the first in my area to have bull crosses back in the mid 80s .So I know a bit about it . There is cruelty involved with running dogs and badgers. You can’t eat a badger and it’s a powerful animal that takes some killing . A pig is not going to outrun your dog s
