Got them off mate he sources from day before catch turbot was to die for got the plaice today

Grill plaice ?

You talk / write like someone trying to come across as smarter / more educated than they are. It grates. Just talk like you, and be normal without the weird as f*ck self Promotion and wannabe Plummer book entries. “The saluki long dog is a mythical beast blah blah blah”. No one cares mate. Just be you, every one else is taken.

?Its a difficult choice to make,...its been a long old life with lurchers...? Regarding lurchers,.. I seem to have undergone a sequence of evolutionary changes over the years, and what suited me then,.sure wouldn't suit me now..? One type of hunter that I feel might possibly fill the bill, would be Mercedes... She was a good old stick, bred me some nice pups and got me the cash to put down on my little house... We worked together for several years, and her efforts sure did help in paying the Mortgage... I valued her assistance financially, but I never really liked her

Given to me last week while doing rats for an old lady, hidden under a rolls Royce in the garage. 1864 us cavelry Sabres.

My choice would be a we beddy whippet greyhound

I thought I’d share the view from my truck this morning . I’m parked in the top corner with my back to the pen , which overlooks a 4 acre field which has recently been cut for hay . Apart from a badger and some deer it was a quiet night. I did however spot a fox which moved across the bottom hedge , but didn’t reappear, so there is one about. I dare say he will be along tonight. It usually happens on the second night . I’ve got to say these birds settled into the pen well and are back off the wire and by the look of it a lot are already roosting.

heads up for anybody wanting one of them vac pac machines.....they got them in lidle next week from thursday ..£20

I nearly lost my life on this trip …..

100% mate! They are defy very different. Its hard to trust a dog around hill sheep unless they have grown up around them. They look very different to a lowland sheep, usually not in a flock, move different and just pop up from no where. They must smell different as I had a hound who would ignore lowland sheep but would hunt the line of hill ewes to start with until she worked it out. I dont tend to trust dogs that are really switched on to deer around any sheep in the heat of the moment to be honest.

I like to knock up a little shelter if im camping for two nights or more! lol

All this talk of wild camping thought I’d give it a go, just me the dogs a 40” tv hot and cold running water, double bed and a shower it’s like hell on earth ????

He still hasn't found his mate who stepped outside the tent saying that he may be some time.

And nobody could afford a doctor, diet and conditions were poor and life expectancy was probably 20 years less than it is now ? All a guess by the way, I have not looked up facts and figure ?

Been reminiscing of dogs i have had and seen in the past one dog comes to mind even though i did not own it i believe it was a mix of saluki / greyhound and collie and his blood was in lucky the dark destroyers pedigree way back . A big strong dog that could take any edible quarry and loved a fox its the type of dog i would love around me if i was to live off grid on a remote island surrounded by edible quarry.

This is the stuff you want for them midges fh, my mate who’s on the dales said it’s loads better than the skin so soft and it’s mega cheap

March lol, lucky not to get frost bite and loose fingers and toes, must of been hell for you ???

I made tonights tea ? Cheers, D.

? It just goes to show you that if you are out of the loop, kinda thing, then topic such as prices for running dogs, are a bit of a mystery..? Locally , we have always had quite a plethora of whippets, both Hard Blood, Non-Peds, and KC Registered Pedigree Whippets. Several rabbiting/mouching lads that I know, have gone over to these diminutive speedsters, and they all seem quite pleased with them... ? Times are 'a changing, in the Field sports world,..and many enthusiasts are enjoying the rabbit as their main quarry... Obviously, the working whippet takes to the Coney catch

As stated, has GB news had its day already, folks seem to have rejected it because of the usual woke, liberal im sorry for being white, blm take the knee presenter?? Only started and already the left have wrecked it lol didnt take long ffs

?

Yeah sorry son but I'm not employing you with them ??

That's who i thought of first and then yep two dickheads talking shite to each other it must be....

I know others will disagree, but my old dog was 100% with sheep, lambs, cattle etc, until I started him on deer. Then I had to be doubly on top of him afterwoods. Was real hard work. Forgot to say, a couple of years later, I had a similar experience with another similarly bred dog I had.

They are my go to for many things, for a make do and mend kind of guy the humble cable tie is my saviour on many fronts ??

Getting low on rations now don’t know how much longer I can go on ?

A few years ago I went off in March on a fishing trip in the old camper van we had. In the morning there was frost on the inside of the windows. The cat was not impressed! Next night I remembered to turn the heating on. We've survived down to -6C in Spain in winter. There's a lot to be said for gas when camping.

Loaded n ready for morning

Guto Harri has been taken off due to his "taking the knee" live on screen. He threw his co-presenter, Mercy Mokuri, a black woman, under the bus by inviting her to also take the knee, tellling her " there's plenty room at the side of the sofa". I watched it and she was quite obviously upset by it, as she has consistently said she does not agree with it ! I would imagine Andrew Neil is quite pissed off about it, and I hope he has the balls to sack Harri. GB News has been beset by sound and continuity problems, but has been sorting them out, it'll be a shame if it turns out

on the money....tries to act clever...but fails miserably...

I couldn’t agree more . I had hoped it would be a balanced, ok , slightly right of centre channel that allowed common sense journalism to flourish. But it’s just like all the other sh@te.

? lol ? Well, for me I think a deer/collie/grey or deer/whippet/grey, or a mix of both, would suit me. I like the nature etc of these types/crosses. I just seem to get on better with them. May I be so bold as to enquire what your thoughts are on type/cross of dog you prefer, Magoo? ? ? ?

Should be entertaining on here later, it's only just gone 3 o clock. ?

you lads are fecking good at making meals i feck up everything ive tried so i just take what the auld hen puts down to me.

That's a shame, but not everyone is like that. Can't think of anything better for a kid if that's what their into

Yeah, I only ever cleared and wholesaled to trade for years mate, then that changed because of cheap new imports, service became a big part of it simply because you have that knowledge and before you knew it I was working for a living ! Haha I never understood it because the margin in used was amazing but I guess they didn’t want the expenses of having to store it and lay their money out. Much simpler to just order what you need as you want it from a “manufacturer” who is shipping it in from China. Their dads made all the real money out of used and they just took a wage out of ne

I know what ya mean there phil owning a good animal but not actually liking it u til you think back. Lovely bitch ?

was talking to a chap outside the villiage shop couple of weeks ago , he had a young whippet pup in tow he said i got it cheap off someone i know ,i only paid 2 grand for it , i said has it got golden bolox , ,,what do you meen he said , .i just moved on ,,

Hope pup gets a good working home . Grand is lot of ? for any dog ,me old whippet by my feet was given to me and he's been great dog ,would I pay a g for one ,I say no but I've had 11 yrs of fun and tears at times and no money would buy him . Days of getting a pup for 150 are gone way of the dodo

Can Aussie whip not sort that out for you and send it as a gift,my mate used to get all his stuff from the lads he new over America like that.

Bags like that no wonder there was riots

The rest of the birds arrived today. The game farmer held on to them for me so that they can be released in decent weather. They should have gone to wood 10 days ago so they were a little bit scruffier than he would have liked but I would rather that than release them to wood in the pissing down rain . All good so far . I’m sleeping in the truck next to the pen for the next couple of nights . If Charlie shows up he is in for a surprise.??

excellent post and on the money

ive not seen a field cut yet....but i bet theres an early barley field or two somewhere....as you say bosun tis a shame to kill a hare at this time...and the ground is rock hard at the mo....if you want to get a pup some fur in its mouth ..be better doing like trev has on this post...a few rabbits on thick grass land...at least save the dogs feet...

plummer was a legend ......jesus christ get a grip....
