a couple of pics I found in my shed from a few years back, I thought some might like to see, some of the lads are sadly gone, good craic back then.

I'll agree with you there, there is a massive problem in the cities on the mainland, hence why I really only go mainlanding when I need stuff I canny get sent. The other hand, we don't have a door key, car keys are left in the cars, in case anyone wants to borrow them, wife left her purse on the car roof and was still there in the morning! Scotland is a big place, living here (Eilean Siar) is like going back in time 50 years. I have the Atlantic out my front door, river down the hill, moorland, grassland and peat at the back, all I have is fresh meat and fish and fuel for free. We've

got to say had a good day yesterday .....1 funny incident that ocured involving ray.......so ray wants a pair of dealer boots.....so we go to this little stall that sels the red back boots...ray marches in...like buck in a china shop... 3 chaps all got hold of shoe boxes....ray thinks one of these chaps is the vendor......now you would have thought the miss spelled tats....the white vest and the "accent"....would have given it away....but no ....ray starts talking money and doing a deal....all the time thinking this chap is the vendor....now these fellas know all about doing deals its in there

f***ing buzzing......got in for free......then my good luck ended...I bumped in to ray and his pet mammoth and couldn't shake them off...... and I couldn't find breeze and more importantly his wife.....who always come armed with the biggest pack up lunch you have ever seen.....this meant I had to put my hand in my deep pockets.....and buy a burger....I was desverstated....

aye its a shithole ???weathers shite

Moochers is a very good Forum IN SEASON , it will spark up now the weather is coming good , most on there are proper dog men who respect the seasons so really they don't have much to post about in the Summer but during the accepted season there will be plenty of good reports on Ferreting / Lamping and many other topics that most members of the THL will know nothing about , as for being a member the rules are very strict and you have to pass a written Exam with a time limit , a sample question could be How many Ears does a Bunny Rabbit have or do Fish Sweat ? sadly Many will Try but only

Stoney I couldn' t agree more about Ali. He's been an inspiration to me and millions of others. As you say boxer, charismatic entertainer, freedom fighter, humanitarian, peace ambassador, truly the greatest of all time. I recently went for a serious operation and to get me through it I adopted Ali's "that sucker aint nothin" quote. (Foreman). Bloody worked as well.Instead of curling up into a ball. I just said f**k it " that sucker ain't nothing" before and after the op. Always cheers me up when I trawl through old videos of Ali on Youtube. He wasn't a saint but he was a truly great ma

Pretty much been my view on Fury from the start... if your that size but cant punch your weight the likes of wilder and AJ will walk you down and knock you out...he doesn't offer any threat to deter them... For that reason alone fury imo can never be put in the same bracket of the true greats, he just isn't good enough....heavies should always have a knockout threat...he ain't

Great weekend up keepers in scotland .had 2 days bushing foxes . We ended up with 9 put 15 out. All the bushers done excellent .really worked well .although flying brian done it again.man of the match ! As the head keeper said.he bolted 3 good foxes out of a massive spot .all shot .real shame that he is 9 years old this year .gonna take some replacing .

The dude worked in Spain for 10 years life and sole and all that scared to be on his own now, trouble is as young men we feel invincible and think bad things only happen to others but by the time you realise your wrong your either dead or fecked beyond repair, so look after what you got as this ain’t a practice run it’s your one and only roll of the dice

The ones keeping up the fight Kinnock , Blair , Mandelson eat ect ect are all on the EU pay roll , if your on the pay roll and so much as dream of criticising the EU your money is stopped immediately and that’s common knowledge so basically the treacherous b*****ds I’ve named are leading the fight to protect their own interest and fukc Democracy . . I hope in the GE those who have failed the will of the people live to regret it !!

God’s country. Wouldn’t swap it for anywhere else in the world. In less than an hour I can be in some of the most beautiful land in the world, and not see another soul all day. Weather just makes us more resilient. Not a place for ‘men’ who’d moan and complain about it so maybe best you stay down South.

Wee walk today

I grew up with working sheepdogs and cattle dogs, Allan,...and you are spot-on regarding how these essential animals, are often fed. Our dogs were trained to a certain standard, then passed on to others, for finishing... We also sold sheepdogs that were hill worn on the Welsh mountains, onto farmers in the low-lands of Kent. My family had dozens of dogs and my Dad would never countenance feeding flesh, to a sheepdog... They feared that the raw meat, especially dead lambs, might encourage the dogs to have a chomp... How fecking silly, eh...? Mercifully, times ha

Mate your trying to fool the wrong guy.last time I bought a injections for a pup was about 3weeks ago???And I know cost of rearing a litter properly as well my last litter I done bedlington Xs 2yrs ago out of experienced working dog of 9yr old to my experienced working bitch of 6 I’ve got a bitch here out the litter at 2 now not even in her working prime yet she’s only 2 ffs she had the tail end of last season to show her a bit An this season as not kicked in yet the breedings definitely there shall I nock a litter out now why she’s young an in her prime?? like I’ve already said good luck an a

I think somebody has been stirring with a big shitty stick to get a wee reaction here...well done sir. Now if Scotland is so bad why is it full of so many happy English folk that has put their roots down up here from north to south and dont seem in a hurry to pack up anytime soon? And if we are on about shit holes and the like there is many inner-city areas in England that are total cess-pits....and you wouldnt have to look further than its capital...Its name has slipped my mind now.....is it Londonstan or something? lol

Amazing !!! when you put a simple question up the Simplest of people will answer ,

.

I really hate to say it but as I get older I dislike the hot weather more and more, love the spring and autumn and with modern clothing find myself out and about more and more in really bad weather just because I no I won’t be bumping into anyone else, the only thing I do struggle with is the shorter daylight hours but I think for me the beauty and wilderness far out way a bit of bad weather and if the wife was willing I’d be gone tomorrow

These will be have been allocated to Ireland by the EU as part of their refugee policy. The thing is that many councillors are too afraid to ask questions: Can the EU guarantee that all these are genuine refugees and not economic migrants? Can the EU guarantee the good character of all of these people and what are they prepared to do should any be found not to be of good character? What are the options should any choose not to remain in the hostel and refuse to return? What plans are there to integrate these people into our society; education, job training, housing, etc and

I was getting slagged on this thread a Couple of pages ago for feeding nothing but tripe. ????. Now the super doggers are saying it’s only good as part of their diets buts it great stuff.????. Fcuk off.. know all. Know fcuk all’s.

As I said before, Muhammad Ali was far more than just a boxer, he probably could of took up any sport he wanted to and been the best at it. Boxing was just one side to him though, he is right up there with ghandi/Mandela/Luther king etc in humanitarian levels! I always liked this old video of him, it just shows what an amazing guy he was imo, making all them people laugh every minute and sometimes without even saying a word. He fought the biggest, toughest fighters in the ring but had time for everybody out of it, even people who have never watched a boxing match will kno

Had another session on the rabbits as last week but with my 97 rather than the HW 100. Yes the spring rifles test you much more than a puffer but what a feeling taking another 53 yard rabbit with such accuracy that the 97 offers. Here's the lane I was shooting over. Here's Kaiser`s retrieve. The 97`s shot placement at a lazed 53 yards. Instant despatch. atb Mark.

As pav has invited me out on numerous occasions I though it only right to return the favour. Full moon and friday the 13th might have kept some shooters at home but we decided to give it a go and after an hour or so drive we arrived at farm and set about the job in hand ..bit of a long night (4.30 am) but still managed a fair few

Why is it that all of these so called democrats are fighting tooth and nail to overturn the democratic result of the referendum ? Are they all getting a backhander ? I'm just waiting for the time that some liberal touting for votes comes knocking on my door. Where is the democracy in them now saying that they are going to dump Brexit without a vote ? It's like the BBC. What a biast outfit they are. It's about time that the head of BBC isn't wheeled in and informed that next year their money is going to be trimmed down. SUBSTANTIALLY, ,!! I bet that their stance would soon change.

Why am I a prick? Just my opinion. I spent half my childhood and youth going to Scotland for the fishing and shooting, in fact right up to my thirties. I have just formed the opinion that sport, pubs and food is better in England. Its only the same as someone else saying they love Scotland. Iv spent feckin a thousand hours freezing on Scottish marshes watching geese three mile up with cowboys takin pot shots. While goose guides top up their dole money. Or paying to sit on a duck pond knowing nothings coming. We had loads of shooting back home but just wanted lads adventure trips away, iv

Got to say I think the WBC made sure that the fight wouldn't be stopped because of that cut. Would've been the same if it was wilder or ruiz. If wallin had that cut, you can guarantee the fight would've been stopped

Nothing on a par with all these beautiful images, but have just been out for a Sunday morning stroll, on a Sunday I often sneak in this quarry for various reasons??it’s open 6 days a week and a constant line of big Volvo dumpers are pouring in and out non stop but when the gates are locked on a Saturday night the wildlife no it’s theres, have found sign of hare, badger, muntjac and watched a pair of resident marlins on the rock face for half an hour this morning but but by 8am there will be no signs of anything other than heavy industry again

Those chicken bits are so easy to feed to the dogs, I buy a few boxes in and bag-up a few in separate freezer bags. Unfortunately, whereas, once upon a time, tripes, lamb ribs and chicken carcases were ridiculously cheap, nowadays, ( unless you have a contact), the raw feeding option, needs a wee bit more planning. It's crazy, but when I trained as a youth, I also smoked like a factory chimney, yet, I still got by...and when I was running a team of lurchers, on the lamp, all along the South coast, frequently every night, two weeks on, one week off, my dogs all caught good numbers of rabbi

I feed both meat and biscuit mixed together and I got something like the above and bottles of salmon oil just so it looks like I know what I'm on wi the meat is chicken backs tripe beef and lamb all minced Ffs now I've gorra get some fecking trout or I wont sleep

Looking at the fight he,s a spent force, the sands of time wait for no man I think he would really struggle with someone who just comes forward and throws bombs, he just don’t have the ammo to keep a big walk forward puncher at bay, think wilder will show him less respect if they fight again and just walk him down and even Ruiz jr would have likely put him on his arse last night, and if dubious does do chisora in the next year or so think he will also be to much for fury, if they ever meet

Well, in this particular part of ireland, where the article was mentioning, there's, no employment, housing, job training ect, only one doctor and he said he doesn't or couldn't take on extra work like this. It's a small farming town, that's does a fair trade in the summer months of angling on Lough corrib, that's all. What are these people going to do when winter comes round, nothing to do to pass the time, unless the head into the city, and who pays for that. It's a shame that our own young people have immigrate for a better life, but this country takes in others, to give

Horrible drug and whoever deals in the shit wants the key throwing away.

Same here mate, I can watch videos of him all day and still be wanting more at the end of it! Fury confirmed last night he is nothing like Ali in any whatsoever......anyone who says so is a deluded idiot that probably thinks Sunderland are a big football club lol I’m glad to hear the operation went well and that you used Ali as in inspiration mate, says a lot about how great he truly was!

2quid don’t get ya to far now days bill ive not really worked out how much I pay for tripe but it’s more than your getting it for I know that much I mean for most us lads wanting to raw feed we get our pants pulled down because we can’t store a lot so we buy in smaller quantities An can’t store up a bargain at the time were raw is concerned I try my hardest to keep my little dog chests freezer jamming as much as I can with mixed raw foods I do well a few times a year as the local sheep farm gives me a couple of fallen old breeding ewes for dog food I can’t store it all but sort a couple of lo

Gretna green , the Solway coast , the a75 and all those wee towns off the side of it. With old fashioned cottages half the price of England and none of the shite that goes with it. The Galloway forest , 7 Stanes bike trails , the debatable lands , common ridings , the a7 to Edinburgh , the a1 to Edinburgh Berwick , Moffat toffee , leadhills, Glasgow , Celtic , Rangers , sauchiehall street , Edinburgh, the Witchery hotel ,mulligans , the black bull bar , old town embra, all that’s just over an hour from the border , better than sitting in traffic on the a12 looking at the back of a Chelm

People can talk about Ali being this and that to boxing , and how important he was without realising that the undertaker went 21-1 at wrestlemania thats a true legacy imho

I know what you're saying, and I've said similar a few times. But look at the amount of shit and abuse people get on here when they breed from under 5 year old dogs, bitches. You get alll the 'you should only breed from proven dogs and bitches after they've had at least 4-5 seasons graft' bollox. And some of those have contributed positively in this thread! Dear oh dear lol ?

What they don’t have “down south” this time of year is 80,000 pinkfoot in the sky !! Scotland is amazing........it would blow most hunting lads mind.

Full of fecking Welsh though ? Cheers, D.

I’ll be doing my damndest to protect my kids from that kind of shit. And if that means not fitting in with the crowd so be it.

If you read things on the net some say they can heal themselves but a good vet told me they never do, they can be dangerous because the intestines could pop out of the hole and get kinked, also the lump which is just fat coming out of the hole could get ripped open in a working dog as it tries to squeeze under something when chasing it’s quarry. I’d get it done in a working dog due to the physical strains it will be under, it’s only a few stitches and costs about £150 - 200

Nice little forum and chats from lurchers to allotments. Some good folks the same as here. We need more of them not less. Poor old rabbiters is struggling that could do with some support. A class little place and be a shame if it ever died

Couple of Brown Hares before the last of the evening sun.

Few there today, bought a few bits and sampled 1 or 2 ciders. Nice day for it ? Heard some shotguns going off, don't know whether it was the clay shoot or they were trying to stop Tomo from getting under that fence ?
