Two types of soldier.... Evolved smart types, like Stiff, who see a borehole and talk about strata. And then there's Neanderthals, like you, who see a bore-hole and probably try to f**k it! Give me strength!

Often the case in gateways etc it’s not often you get a good string but they do happen occasionally if your lucky to find them before it rains or they get raked over etc ?

Funny story, but hand on my heart this is true ! My old mate ( the one who u seen his dog run up Caithness). Was roadsiding hares in a mini van with his mush. My mate was in the van and his mate was the driver, anyway they stopped to run a few hares. Next a car is approaching so my mate knocks beam off and stays in the field and his mate drives off to come back for him. Anyway my mate sees the minivan pull up so he marches down field with dog and hares. Jumps fence opens back of minivan to see a copper driving it who says your knicked lol. So my mate gets busted and charged lol. After that the

30 mile a day ! Piece 'o piss ! Me and Beddy Dave were doing that at altitude in our 60's ! Maybe just a little bit of irony, sarcasm and exaggeration! ?? Cheers.

30 miles is a long long way mate like …. not saying you didnt do it on occasion but to say it’s not out the ordinary it’s stretching it a bit . I rate myself as a walker anywhere , made a few treks my self up and down places but 30 miles is a long old way pal

Road siding so 80s smashing down gates and tearing fields up with a 4x4 is the way to go ?

I honestly ant a clue, i would get up to lakes at 10ish and brew at my marrows, then we would lamp nearly all night mostly till daybreak. And would do the lakes or borders or up on scotch side. Had a few close calls, but didn't everybody. One of the worst nights was my mate slipped his bitch which was mother to my dog on a red hind and that was the last we seen of her, we searched all night and daybreak. I had to return home for work, but the other lads searched and she was never found. It was sickening. No GPS tracking or even mobile phones back then. Had the usual chases of potty farmers a

There were very good minshaw dogs owned all over that were , for me anyway , the best lamping stuff I’ve seen , nothing has come close imho for the pursuit of rabbits and hares from that noble art of lamping off an escort van with the doors open . pure sport

Zzzzzzzz……zzzzzzzz……zzzzzzz

Been quite a bit of rain about, go back and have a look for pug marks if the ground is soft enough, easy enough to see as badgers have five toes unlike most, you can do it shh, the truth is out there, this one is from another member off here that had a similar experience to you, saw it run across at night,went back next day and got these which is pretty good confirmation ??

I am disappointed lads , there's been enough coverage to prove civilian deaths , cities wiped off the map for fecks sake children living in bunkers , sod the russkies. Better to beat them there than here. And Britain is popular in Europe for the first time since brexit , life's good.

Absolutely tickled me

And statements like this are why noone worth their salt will be seen with you ?

You fat barstard you fat barstard you fat barstard ?

Will you lot stop picking on my protege' while some of us are talking about rare 70's motors !! ? !! What the f**k do you think this is ....... a hunting site ? Cheers.

Stav & FH on one of their meet ups....

Hammersmith apollo now ,Jack white time! Some interesting brickwork outside pub ! Dc ? This your workmanship??

You’ve not seen many then cause in 30 plus years of lamping Iv seen a handful not run , I was lamping when you was in your old man’s ball bag

I distinctly remember one night of “popping round the block “ for an hour ended up coming past Chester le street via kielder

Was that your demob suit D ? Cheers Arry

Feck me, I got married in a suit like that. 1978 ? Cheers, D.

That must be exciting as fukc … said nobody ever ……

YES!….I was down there with Mark Cuban……. Well, not just the Cubes, but Chris Daughtry, Jeff Probst, super chef Bobby Flay. I mean, it was insane. It was almost too much.

Iirc the falklands has feral herds of caribou/reindeer. They also have some great looking wild trout fishing (a lad on here posted about it while he was posted down there). If it was possible to go down there, cull some caribou and roam about spinning for trout and whatever else at an economical cost, I’d be all over it.

That's it then, CASE CLOSED. ?

Quick bit of concreting this morning at my mates farm, I love working here, working with all 3 generations of the family and I always get some kind of shooting offer when I’m here ?

f**k me greb you need an actual hobby

Maybe Whin has been taken over by the ghost of Plummer ? (just irony and sarcasm, by the way ?). Cheers.

Not a fan at all they need knocking well and truly back and hard. Bet the local wild life would appreciate it

Altitudinal effects on the performance of UK long dogs with a second thesis coming soon on gooseberry badlands prairie dog burrow depth perception amongst wyoming black-footed ferrets ?

Only ever seen the one dog in the flesh....was a very old dog at the time,the man that had it,used to be on here(well known and respected)..he had run lurchers and dug terriers the lenght of the UK and Ireland,he rated them highly.. a man who's word you could trust,and a fountain of knowledge when it comes to hunting ... shame he doesn't come on here anymore...to many ' know it alls' on here...wernt fit enough to pick up his dog shit or lace his boots...same story with most of the old members who don't bother anymore..this site is poorer without their knowledge and input ??

I had mine right back in the 90,s way back before Jim barker bred any, never seen any of his stuff and never heard of the man till the tinternet started. My old dog was a grandson of vics blue, and the stuff me and a few mates ran was heavy collie influenced. For what we was doing and running at the time, I was happy. Put some large critters in the freezer, wasn't the fastest of dogs by any means. And if am honest a lot of the big stuff was caught off a fence or in a gutter or dyke ect. Fun times back then, happy memories, met some cracking friends up in the lakes. But times and dogs change.

Totally Out of order there buddy that lad has and does more than most .but one thing he is.and thats he's honest and will tell you how it is more so with is own stock ?

Took my lad camping the other week, farmers chickens have been getting snatched.. took him to a copse bout 1/2 mile from farm and let him take his 410 as said bandit would be close do between two houses! he didn’t find the culprit but smashed a woody that he couldn’t find in the overgrown copse.. but he found the remains of palmers chickens and some cubs. Was a great night doing it again this weekend

I know people think it's cold "up north", but we're not the Hindu Kush or the Himalayas ! ? ! Cheers.

forget about jim barker and minshaws.... the biggest howler on this thread is altitude sickness .....this is what needs discussing....lol
