A bit more education for the little un today, only five months old but turning into a good little marking dog and getting rewarded when she does after one of the older dogs makes a catch?

Quick run around at the skip yard, dogs got 7 between them, great fun for them!

So the test run starts on Wednesday, I've 3 weeks of family coming, its not 100% finished but finishings now... they'll live with the few snags before it goes to the public in September.... 11 months...but its a big project away from just this cottage...onto the next now...more pics later..

You should have made sure that your missus blew up your arm bands properly ……

Christ y'all sometimes I think my old man done jumped off the deep end . Apparently his new thing is trying to basically tame a sounder of smaller wild hogs into brush clearing work and tilling ? Basically he's been throwing deer corn and old sweet feed out into brush he wants gone and in places he wants tilled up. The hogs go in and do there thing while trying to get the food. And its actually been working really well . Well... It's gotten to the point they figured out if they follow the cows there's usually food and since dad never shoots them.....well he sent me this this morning

Todays instalment Pork loin joint with salted crackling Roast potatoes Caramelised parsnips Yorkshire pudding Chicken gravy Apple sauce

Cottage pie, garlic and thyme roast spuds and veg that I mainly tapped of people I’ve been working for over the past week, I do like free food, even better if they let me rummage their veg patch on my own

Mate you honestly haven’t seen me trying to throw shapes. I have the rhythm of a drugged sloth …….

Todays instalment Firecracker quarter pounder cheeseburgers Diced and fried potatoes Obligatory titanium spork

Wouldn't bother mate find your self a pup out parents doing what you want , going have loads people messaging you selling pye line breed dogs when truth is pie been dead that long his blood his blood would hardly be worth mentioning , there wasn't many genuine pie bred dogs around couple years back chances of you getting anything with his blood in close enough to make a difference are slim , don't worry bout the name worry about what it parents doing

Not long now……

Working ability before looks all day long

You were lucky to come out of it alive son

Wire etc is a everyday thing round here, for all types of dog and owner...

Nice picture of you and the family mate, memories....

They go to ground all the time when under pressure, also seen hares swim across fast flowing rivers before to get away, if they go to ground I think they should be left even if you could reach them to pull them out

owned and worked a few...only the Jill's mind..i found they settled down after a few seasons and stop killing,first season or 2 your digging most the time..ideal when you need to make a dent in a population and quickly?

a couple of images of my russell/ plummer. for interest

How the Hell do they even Do that?! Chube. It's normally some pretty looking little thing, in a mini skirt, or less. Normally mentions " Shuffle Dance ". I always ignored it. Figuring it was some craze. Just decided I should educate myself. Like; WTF?! Watched a few, random vid's. They wear like 'Trainers'. Rubber soled shit? And they can dance on just about Any surface? How The Fukk?!? I can't dance. Never have. Means nothing to me. But, This shit? Weird! Actually reminds me of the old Northern Soul style. I couldn't tell what's the best, or shit. But, this just fascinates me

yes its another impact bronz one full length bigger bottle more shots lovely to shoot,i will keep the small impact compact for shooting out the car window on my shoots ,and the new one for the golf course

Went up the coast with the mrs and dog for a couple days. Was a bit windy so didn't put the island up, just went for a swim. Thought I was a goner. I seriously misjudged the sea and got caught in an undercurrent which was pulling me opposite to the wave direction. So basically dragging me under. I was no more than 5m from shore, by the time I got out of it and managed to get back to the beach, I was fuucked. Luckily panic didn't set in and I'm a strong swimmer, plus I knew what to do. Crazy, death can happen so quickly in the sea.

Not good . We were after six pointers. Managed one 4 pointer . They started the evening stalk and promptly got soaked to the skin . I put one in a high seat that overlooks the territory of a nice buck . He watched a small Spiker walk across, stop and look towards where I said the buck would be . The buck burst out of the hedge and chased the Spiker off and back through the hedge , not to be seen again . I wizzed around in the mule with the other chap and quickly spotted a buck , I knew it was only a four pointer, but it was a mature buck that looked like it was going back , so

I dunt know much much about these name dogs lar but this 1 med short work of a family size apple pie what I were daft enough 2 leave in its road ,be dead game if it carries on

Mines got loads in fecking bramley apple ? just custard 4 me now ,c**t

A mate of mine was very into northern soul way, way back. Thing is he can still move when the mood takes him and people, especially women, love it. Even at his decrepit age. Nothing like being a good dancer to impress lasses.

The stair shufflers are the creme de la creme ?

I am honestly in the top 5 dancers ever . that’s not up for debate . ive cleared dance floors in awe of my moves regularly since I was 15 . I genuinely invented the backwards walking shuffle .

It's interesting to note that when they did experiments in Russian fur farms, trying to breed foxes for increased docility, their ear carriage changed to flop ears, as well as the colour of the fur. Maybe that same gene which increases tractability/trainability is also responsible for the dropped ears of most domestic canines.

I'd say it does affect the ability to survive in the wild as every canine or vulpine and mustaliod (spelling?) has pricked ears and sort of lightly thinking about it all wild animals have pricked ears have they not?? .....

Everyday I'm shuffling! .....bloody gout mate.

It was a very hot day can't beat a padding pool on the street, dad's a lazy bastaed though he wouldn't get out for a piss

Then this I got made especially for when I was in places I shouldn't have been,some of the coursing clubs were fairly serious individuals when a lurcher was about ,this slowed a few down when I carried it,I'd talk my way out of problems mostly but this stick helped to keep em at bay once or twice

I know the ear carriage doesn't affect the ability but I'm with you on that. Worse is Russells with pricked ears.

Wigan pier ??? not been there since I was 20. Donny warehouse still bouncing as it ever was but my times dancing are done.....and no I couldn't move like that! ?

no the guy that wired him up forgot to put in a recall. spend half my life looking for the little B, its not a total disaster though. if i can get him in sight my lurcher pins him and holds him for me ?

Recent one out Rocco

Be glad when there is one. Be a funny old game with no ferret finder. Like going back 35 years or more and pissing about shoving brambles down hole and digging holes all over the place

It just started when I left, the up side to the rain is it keeps the fly’s down, they were mental up there today I put a couple of drinking butts out today along with the camera, I normally do this in the spring but never got around to it this year, everything uses them so it’s a cracking way to see what’s about, there was a couple of fallow doe’s walking the edge of the oats about 20 yards from where I’ve set the camera so fingers crossed that a buck puts in an appearance

Finally managed to get up to the shoot today to sort drinkers and feeders out, clear a couple of feed area’s and a few other little jobs, it was all hands on deck, me moving feeders about, my shoot captain cleaning the IBC’s out and filling them and the old girl moving stuff about with the load all, I am so far behind this year, the birds are due in 10 days and with a bit of luck all the combining will be finished by then. The lad informed me that we will not be selling days this year, which is a bit of a bugger and he could of told me sooner as I had a good few people lined up for them, lucki

Running for home

From a trail cam last winter
