It's horses for courses some excel on certain quarry and ground others don't some run those hills and mountains and bogs regular certain crosses can't do it the same but excel in other places as with anything just enjoy yourself but the best dogs I have seen over the years the owner is quiet and often plays down just how good there dog is and often there a pleasure to watch and worth the travel to see them run

Well, I’m not a “fox man “ and I’ve never had “fox dogs” ! Ive had a few dogs that could kill foxes but couldn’t be considered “fox dog”. I had a 29 1/2” , 75lb deer/grey that could kill foxes, as has been said, kill foxes in a shake, and so it should, a bitch of that size against a 15lb fox, I’d cull it if it couldn’t, but would it do five or six a night, five or six nights a week ? Probably not! I had a beddy type, 23” and around 38/40 lb that would roar into foxes like a Tasmanian Devil but it was a battle, a war of attrition, she’d win but it was a struggle ! So, th

The sun always brings the punters out ! Yesterday was busy , so preparing for another busy day ! Be mostly sandwiches and salad box’s today and BLT,s as well

Up on Dartmoor again hoping to hear the Cuckoo and see the fields of Blue Bells at Emsworthy Mire. Well Seen and heard the Cuckoo one landed for about two seconds above our head. Blue Bell looks like couple weeks time. Loads of twitchers after photos of the Red Starts and Cuckoos. If anybody is down in a week or two Emsworthy and Halwell lawn will be a mass of Blue Bell. Acres of them. Think this is a Willow Warbler Not very good photo I'm afraid of a Red Start. Few little Thumpers. Couple os ponies in the distance on to

Fired the BBQ up for a couple of Rib Eyed Steaks. My first small harvest of asparagus this year only five spears but nice. Cheers Arry

I’ve just been arranging my trip over to see the lads. It’ll be December time, I’ll be flying over , not taking a dog, a bit coursing, a bit digging, a day out with the lurchers , hounds, terriers and a days fishing. And of course, a wee drink and a lot of craic ! Get yourself over mate, I’ll see you there ! Cheers.

Black bird my favourite, for such a common bird a lot just take it for granted but the variations in it,s song are brilliant,,,, love hearing to great tits too ,,ya know springs on its way

Set off from Porto this morning. At about 11AM our train stopped dead. No explanation of what was happening and about 45 mins later someone mentioned the power cut. We had to walk up the train tracks for a while before we could jump a wall onto an estate/industrial area. Managed to share an Uber with someone to the airport but so much disruption. No ATMs at the airport working and no card payments in the limited food shops that were open. We got on the plane only to be told we were having to wait for 5 hours. This rapidly changed and we were in the air within an hour. Interesting to see how pe

Pig belly

Iv got to agree , foxes arent easy pickings and not every fox is killed in seconds even by the biggest of dogs

Little garden job finished apart from going back to grout it, I was done by 12 so thought I’d remove the old grout from the other paving and do the whole lot when I go back, it will make a much tidier job for the sake of another tub, not what I would of done with it but I suppose it won’t take any looking after

Busy busy busy today, playing labourer for a couple a builders at a mates

Black bird is my favourite too, this time of year they wake me up every morning and there’s no better way, I’m listening to a great tit now along with a few others, there’s no other noise other than bird song where I am now and it’s lovely

I bet you couldn't MC a genuine fox dog isn't as common as you think I'm talking about one out a few nights a week running s/h week in week out with what you described about your dog no disrespect but I doubt he has had many because it just doesn't happen like that when you run plenty you would see that there's fox.dogs then there's dogs that can take fox there's a world of difference MC

Spread your wings, young friend ! There’s a whole world out there to explore ! Dont be cock ‘o the dung heap; Aim to be king of the mountain ! Cheers.

Ahh council rules, I like it haha

Digging in Australia; Five standing round drinking beer, one digging ! LOL ! Cheers.

A walk at first light on the local golf course that i haven't been on for a good while. Disappointed to not see any rabbits as the gorse bankings always held plenty of rabbits. Found a wren's nest though no eggs in it and had half an hour practice with the catapult in the local woods.

840 million people still live without electricity in the world but its estimated Western society would collapse within 3 days with a total grid failure. Does make you think how reliant we have become.

Mchull when you coming over iam looking forward to it me and grunter will pay for your fare over cant wait to see this sand slug run these irish hares and fox the only thing is the time your dog gets into to it run my bitch will have it in the Bag mate No 9 mins run over here lol thats pup i bred last year i run that give that slug a fair go lol

To be fair a lot of them bull x make hard work of a 15inch fox. technique over power any day Write to the mayor of hull and ask for him to give you permission to leave the district and go and conquer Ireland you'll be able to walk the full island in less than 2 days lol

You know I love you, in a very paternalistic, prodigal son way , I hasten to add ! LOL ! But you can’t sneak onto my very discerning group by trying to bribe me with videos ! It’s only for mature, well travelled , open minded individuals. When the scales are removed from your eyes and you can see working dogs don’t necessarily need saluki in them , then , and only then , you may be considered for elevation to to the lurcher world’s equivalent of the “Illuminati “…… Cheers.

Bit of sirloin elfresco

To be truely honest with you and we both know we've never spoken to each other before ,but your offer is wasted on a man like that and it's a fecking insult to folk like yourselves who offer such a trip and the man who's been offered treats the offer like it's beneath him. You should keep your offer bud and maybe someone worth it will have the day with you and i wish you boys all the very best...

Why sure you couldn't get your fat arse on 2 hour ferry ride cause of your schedule now your offering people out again

This escalated quickly

Lol..I wished...was on the shovel all day cleaning up the digger drivers spill...must of been 20 tones of stone and dirt... Got back to the hotel went straight to the gym...did two sets...thought f**k that I'm knackered....so went to the pool and sauna..fell asleep back in my room at 9.30...same again today...that was last night...f****d again today...

All the best digs have a gaffer there to keep folk right haha

I normally do a couple of scooter rallys during the summer but a day is normally enough.Look at all the scooters,chat to a few lads and watch dyno competition for a couple of hrs.Last thing I wanna do at 50 is be getting on the piss and then sleeping in a tent and there's only so long I can put up with a load of soppy old c**ts dressed up as comedy skinheads or mods dancing around to shitty cover bands or dodgy northern soul DJs

Got a few bits growing in the little veg pallet collar garden now plenty of seeds starting to sprout in the little cold frame I’m trying to get everything working in rotation so once something is ready to harvest the next crops ready to pop in me an the misses have been talking about hatching some bantam eggs once we get back from holiday we got 2hybrid layers at the moment ones done laying as there getting on a bit I’m kind of looking forward to hatching some eggs with my kids

All the same them lot

Robin is definitely my favourite call (maybe because of nostalgia; reading The Secret garden when I was little etc). Second favourite, once again for reasons of nostalgia, is the blackbird. Another I like, both the bird itself and the call, is the dunnock; I think they're one of the most overlooked and undervalued birds in the UK. My favourite species is the wren but, although I like their call, it reminds me of those contestants on the Voice when they've only got a few seconds left and none of the judges chairs have turned so they throw everything at it and go a bit over the to

Had a truly happy day with some like minded folk,one of them even said "Your one of us bro,your family".They were all outlaws back in the day,pay tax nowadays and live regular(ish) lives.

You can take the elephant out of Africa…….

How sure you tho about mouse thing

Bit bass

No expert but I do enjoy the calls of the various birds, and particularly songbirds. Think I posted on another thread that the song thrush is maybe my favourite of them all. Other favourites include: A robin singing solo on a dark winter morning, weeks before the other birds have even thought about spring, but brings a bit of hope that it’s on its way. A Skylark in a field on a hot cloudless summers day, where there’s that hum of insect life all about you, and you have to squint up into the bright blue to try and spot the lark, a mere speck in the sky. The ‘twittering’ sound of

I wouldn’t become an advert for them mate they’ll be out of business in a week

Yes mate ; You should have introduced yourself ! Cheers.
