  3. Greg ,a boring old man story to illustrate my point .....many years ago I was having a natter with an old boy in the pub ,Henry Cooper s name came up ,and the fella mentioned he had sparred with him ,then Brian London's name was mentioned and he said hed sparred with him ,( alarm bells were ringing in my arrogant know it all youth ) then sonny Listons name was mentioned ,a personal favourite of mine ,and ,yes ,he claimed to have sparred with him ,that was a step too far for me and I left thinking him a liar ...fast forward a few years the fella passed away ,and although he had no boxing caree

  4. Yes, there I was sneaking up on a crow when under 10yds a vixen come trotting past! I got on her silently with Fairweather and squeaked. The 17g Remington HMR hit shoulder, not ideal but how she crumpled and got up I knew she ain't going far. I heard a twig snap so after a moment went there and yep there she was, just ten yards more. She's a little cutie of a thing and that explains where all my pheasants have gone ?. I have been here this morning already at 5am and seen nothing. No sign, muck or paw prints. Just goes to show but tonight before shooting her I did find some pigeon fea

  5. Saluki lurchers I keep mate, I just enjoy a wind up with the coursing boys they’re a sensitive bunch most of them. Ive seen a few very good coursing bred runners owned by honest lads, but I’ve seen a lot more bad ones. To me the big names, Lucas, Bulldozer etc etc count for f**k all most I saw including the ones I've owned myself couldn’t lace the boots of a home bred lurcher x lurcher. Major faults being they run things for too long & spend a lot of time laid up injured. I like a wind up same as we all do but I’m always honest about dogs, that doesn’t suit a lot of coursing

  7. So, we have came back to the sheep farm for that buck, walked the long way around because the wind was all wrong, spotted him in next doors wheat making his way to our side, we lost sight of him so moved to the bottom of the field, Hugo’s dad seen him coming through the hedge when we were expecting it to be in the grass field next to us. So it didn’t offer a shot, just looked at us face on before hopping the gutter and away, if it wasn’t such a magnificent beast I would of head shot it also if we had stayed where we were when we first seen him the shot would of been on, I’ve now remembered why

  9. Not too old mate for definite but I’ll damn sure pick my places lol. When I was younger ,nothing phased me earth wise and I relished a 4 m dig .Nowadays a 1.2 is a good un . Around me lads don’t want to know to be honest bar a very small minority and I’ve taught a few of them that are now good lads in their own right .When I was mad for it ,I was very conscious of my own mortality and made sure I passed on what I see as the right way to do things .Nowadays dosnt seem so important .

  12. Exactly....Rod Kershner became the same within the Tudor/Mayfield line and was despised for it although he did make the odd claim to actually work dogs....saying that they were very well bred family dogs and not just names on paper with no actual objective or resemblance to the heritage they were from like the Colby dogs were.

  13. I stopped having it when the peddlers and book sellers completely took over. Ive seen the last copy and not much has changed. I found DH to be a nice bloke to talk to and if I had ever dug with him I would like to think I wouldnt talk out of school and slag him off in public in an attempt to make myself look like a real terrier man.

  14. Me and a buddy went to a creek over the weekend.Its a good place but full of cottonmouths. We caught a bunch but took a few pics. Smallmouth Cottonmouth came and checked out my kayak. I took my daughter's kayak as it has very shallow draft.We landed the kayaks to explore further downstream cause this area can't be kayaked as fallen trees everywhere from bad tornadoes.So we started wading. We caught several but we had 3 different battles with cottonmouths all I had for defense was my fishing pole WE were getting jumpy l

Then it went quiet so I went for a mooch and seen this r

  17. You have to keep in mind that London is not England......I’m not even trying to be ironic, it isn’t and hasn't been for a long time. If you went on walking round London or watching the local news and stuff around London you would genuinely think you lived in South Africa or some other wog infested shithole......I’m not even joking ?

  23. I had little time for hunting lately because I have been very busy due to family expanding (my first daughter, hopefully she will become a huntress ?) and to some work responsibilities. However, I managed to stalk 2 nice boars (a good size 4-5 years male and a gold medal old tusker). The green grass of the spring was irresistible for them and the full moon provided enough light for my trusted Leica Magnus 2.4-16x56. The first one is the young male. A very well developed for his age. I feel sorry somehow for hunting him, a male like this will become a gold medal in another ~3 years.

  24. I think your wrong about the last part.The top breeders bred what they were using. Perhaps you meant top peddlers. I had sons of Colby's Sam and grandsons.Good hogdogs nothing more.My buddy (atthetime)used them in hogdog catch competition when legal.I never spent a dime with Colby.I had a local friend .He bought them up and later gifted me most of them.Good hogdogs nothing else.You can find adult cold colby dogs for hog hunting usually for free from a greenhorn.I always considered it foolish to purchase a pup on bulldogs..The answers to the good ones are in the reports Mr Gnas

  29. I'm old enough to remember the "Golden Age" of boxing, starting with Ali v Liston, ( just, I was 12). And as much as I admire Fury, I have to paraphrase Ali; " If Fury even dreams he could have beat Ali; he better wake up and apologise ! " Cheers.

  33. When 90% of England was trees and pasture and they could walk across to mainland Europe I could see it working but today they will be no more than a fancy cow in a large enclosure, we don’t have miles of roaming plains or acres of unkept woodland for them to be proper free roaming wild buffalo ? you can’t turn the clock back without removing a lot of mans influences and we won’t be doing that in a hurry ?

  34. ??????... this thread is gold. One would have to pay for entertainment such as this. Talk about four monkeys up three and a half sticks... do I give a flying who stuffed Di.? I'd be more interested in knowing if Wills has impounded Harry's guns and who took Harry's peg in the line. Does The beautiful Kate stand behind Wills with a spaniel, a bag of spare cartridges, a flask of tea, a loving smile and a "well shot Will" at the end of a drive.? Poor Harry. Still I suppose that he's got a nut Cutlet or some other vegan slurry to look forward for dinner tonight.

  39. No I'm right, only because they have peddled doesn't mean they haven't bred good dogs. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Bob Wallace matched any dogs and didn't peddle them either? Now I might get flack from this but I think you're a stretcher of the truth. First of all when I mentioned Scott American Bulldogs then of course you've been out hunting with him and claim his dogs were never any good nor were used for hog hunting. Second you claim some of the best dogmen in the States were begging your friend for dogs, the same for Richard Stratton when I mentione

  42. As long as people continue refusing to acknowledge the basic cultural differences we will never fully understand why blacks appear to hate us no matter what we do to appease them....nothing we ever do will be good enough for them because their mentality is give them an inch and they want a yard......white people must stop treating them like pets and walking around on egg shells fearing being killed or savaged by rabid dogs at any moment while all the time thinking the solution is to pet and love the beasts that only want what they can get from us.

I wouldn't say that you too old yet ha ,must be all the heavy work ?, and true enough, have to be realistic in how long to keep terriers in keep for any a man in life , but sure you have it under control?

  47. Agreed mate .Gave up on shows 10 years back .I agree the names don’t matter but as a generalisation ,most types go back to the names if traced far enough .The only reason I describe mine as big name crosses is for want of another name to call it and the fact they were sourced direct if not very close to the root . Glad to hear you are still at it ,my back won’t allow a full day anymore but the mind is still willing .Got two here that will be my last as it ain’t fair on them not getting the graft they are bred for .
