Vhd. It's not even worth having a lurcher any more.

I fully agree with you regarding natural cycles, but man has attempted to wipe out bunny almost since they were brought here for food, I watched a program recently were they said there were now two new viruses wiping them out as well as mixy, round here the exploding badger population continues to wipe out more big buries every year so I do think mans influence is breaking natures cycle which is alarming as many animals depend on the rabbit for there survival and an eco system without its main food supply is pretty fecked, hope I ,m wrong ?

You all need yourselves the new Nikon P1000, ain't no getting away with the moggy shots with that beast.......

Yes mate they are 6 days old. Atb Adam

Oh well at least bought this home!

My old dog Rio was one of the best I ever seen would kill any thing day or night out of 2 forly cup winners fettle and splodge this dog was the reel deal on this pic he was 8 still killing them this pic was pre ban

She’s well mate,eating like a pig and growing like a horse ? that’s a pic from other week ??

Got asked to go up to my mates sheep farm to thin the rabbits out, managed 27 for 31 shots and I would of thought if I walked it again I could of shot the same again, no pics this time as I’ve been told to leave them for the foxes as this is just a pest control exercise and to get up and sort the foxes out before lambing ?

I used to go round killing as many mixi rabbits as possible but it's surprising the amount that recover from it when left alone

Mixi just started here they seem to get it this time every year,I’ve been walking round trying to catch up the mixi ones!

That’s right terry but the world has changed there has been a population explosion more mouths to feed and less land to do it, so most farmers with arable land want no rabbits and are happy for someone to rifle the lot,the pressures on the rabbit population is much greater now than in the 1950s but like you say they are resilient but maybe we should all have a think what the future holds for are kind of hunting.

If they ever recover round here I think I'll get a little terrier based lurcher but for now I'll stick to not having one.

This is my latest pup now 7 mths old, he is now as keen as any dog Ive owned . I take mine out from about three months too, every pup is different so their management can be too, just try to not let them over do it, and for the first 12 months I use the whippet type sparingly.

Shooters with nv will be the death of this game

Dirty stinking un vaccinated migrants into Europe is the reason for this simple ... what's next TB and Ebola .....

My greyhound bitch gave birth to 9 pups ,however two dropped off before I decided to top the pups up until her milk started to flow,so I'm pleased to report the milks arrived and the pups are doing very well now .Sire is a whippet.

Get a loan of greymans heavy duty catty and if he does it again whack the Cnut in the clinkers.

Only Went out for hour tonight still have more paper work to do tonight ready for tomorrow Still my favourite NV set up so far ,still toying with the idea getting a thermal but after tonight do I really need one

Theres been alot of stuff on foolsbook this last week of vans driving around casing houses for dogs..... Mrs just sent me this, police have just spun 3 vans in Caerphilly macdonalds looking for stolen dogs.... Anyone Cardiff, south wales valleys keep an eye out? Vans on Irish number plates.

Cheers mate the black thing is bull llurcher to lurcher bit of Sal in there it will be his first full season this year as he was a bit silly on the lamp his litter mates was doing loads last year but he was bit puppyish reckon he ready now the red bitch is 6 she bull grey x whip grey half decent

Oh yes.. ! Victory will be mine!

Nicholas. The handle was set in a deer antler and epoxy resin in the end cap ( front end ) is finished off with pine pitch tar . The end cap ( crown of the antler I think it’s called ) is not finished yet I am looking out for a Saxon coin wich I will fit to the bottom of the handle and am currently working on a leather sheath. The knife was never ment to be a fancy seax ( some are real fancy) but more of a traditional work horse type knife that I could use . W.katchum .. it will be used for butchering large game boar/deer / mother in law .. joking aside I like to collect knifes/swords/sh

Ill send you one if ya want ?

I do every time I go out wether gun,dogs or ferrets,been doing it for years now,I enjoy just been out wondering my days have gone coming back with 60s plus then sitting there gutting and skinning,2 or 3 does me now one of my perms I’ve left for 2 seasons now as I left enough to have a few flights when I had the hawks to and I know it’s safe land as there is only me with perm on it.its good for pheasants during the season as it’s between 2 shoots and the farmer won’t even let them on.theres lads still go out in breeding season which doesn’t help as it’s called that for a reason but they know be

Not quite, if you were to ask me in the street I would say I’m from North Yorkshire, but I live in Stockton on tees, north of the river so I fall into Durham/Cleveland

There is one thing for sure pups learn nothing sitting in a kennels all day, just taking them along for the experience is priceless, I would never let young pup run rabbits, but watching listening taking in what's going on all good foundation for a future worker.

I'm not surprised he's hardly a shining light or expert on lurcher work is he ........

Yep they work

We have had 3 poor years for rabbits but this year they have returned in good number's, I think from now on we will value them alot more for the great sport they provide for the lurchers.

Didn’t mixy wipe out 99% of the population when it was first introduced? They are resilient little critters they’ll bounce back.

Squirrels will be next think rattings way forward

Mines will be out and about with me from around 12 weeks mate when am ferreting etc, see stock often have a bond when they’re waiting, and the everyday foundations folk miss out on, going thru burns puddles thru gates fences learning independence etc, a solid foundation is priceless mate

Great job Joe, Speak later...looking forward to getting you and lad out on the boat!

I' blame the airguners with the n.v. and thermal image scopes lol

tb allready heare pal ,quite a few cases in leicester and has been for a good few years asians""

I think it’s just one of those things that some people have been using for years and dare not stop using it in case they see a drop off in birds in certain areas but to be honest once we have used up the bucket we have we won’t be getting any more... I'm not completely writing off the merits some people may have seen using it but I personally haven’t seen enough of a reason to buy more. I think If you have your woods/ covers set up right so they are attractive to birds and dog birds in daily they’ll hang around.

Richmond, Yorkshire, it is a lovely place, fields as far as the eye can see

That's a fine lump of a pup and it has that look in its eyes

I think they call it Darwinism ?

The establishment protecting itself again unfortuately. 100 year secrecy order on Dunblane massacre 70 year secrecy on David Kelly autopsy 100 year secrecy order on serving Labour mps caught in operation Ore 100 year secrecy order on abdication of King Edward Vlll 100 year secrecy order on interrogation of Rudolf Hess no such thing as any transparency involving the establishment, one set of rules for them and a different set of rules for us .

Fcuk the bone man, George Curtis gave Ballyregan Bob a bit of powder vitamins, who really knows what's best, we're only apprentices in a craft where not many become a master, as long as you're putting the time and effort in who can argue ?

My old bull x my first lurcher fast as you like had no brakes what so ever not the best by any means but as he was my first he will always be top of my list

Little belter.

picked up a little sprocker bitch pup myself today , looking forward to having some craic with her, if shes turns out anything like the cocker i had a while back , i'll be well pleased. nice strong pup, seems calmer than the cocker.
