Places like Marie Currie and McMillans shouldn’t need to be charities, they take a huge burden off the NHS with their cancer work, palliative care, end of life care and support of families. They should be funded, like the NHS from general taxation, not having to depend on charity. Cheers.

I'm sick of them. Can we have money for .....snow leopards,kittens with weepy eyes, a kiddie with a cleft lip, a homeless kiddie in danger of abuse, abandoned dogs, abused donkeys, kids without clean drinking water,kids who need eye operations, guide dogs and the one that really pisses me off, an RSPCA inspector, complete with lookalike police uniform, who is so overcome by the plight of a skinny dog that he is apparently weeping.Ffs. Lots of vulnerable/ skint people are emotionally blackmailed into donating money each month to these charities when they can't afford it. There was a case a

Sometimes it's good to just do your own thing...... Cheers.

my mum worked for Marie currie for many years..

Another fox last night for the.204 Senopex A7 combo. It was a 16lb dog in good order. I will be back on the foxes hard now where there are lambs to protect and at the game breeding farm where there are both lambs and penned game birds and ducks to protect.

I’ve recently had a contact for a chap who collects deer .The only request was that we got 10 or more to make the trip from South Dorset worth while .Monday afternoon I got home from work early and straight out to a spot I know there’s a few roe ,in fact it’s teeming with them .This was culling pure and simple ,no time to mess about with management or fancy shots . In the second field there where 7 roe couched against the far hedge in the sunshine .The temp was just nice with a hint of a frosty night ahead .4 does and two mature bucks heavy in velvet and a pricket .Most had their eyes firml

I've always believed they should execute such individuals Live on the 10 o'clock News...same format as ISIS Etc ?

Far too nice a day to sit in the office... Had something to eat in Ashburton, then up on the moors with the Mrs and dogs...

I'd recommend grinder ,I've met some extremely friendly lads

Glad she was found, hopefully safe and unharmed, need to start killing people who fck with kids

I only just watched em on YouTube. Never ever get anything like that on telly again. Very good show. Jack's blunt and honest in it. A pack of beagles catch a hare in the show and Jack says "all wild animals die violent deaths, none of em die peacefully in their bed"....very true. But he also very clear about the benefits of the hunting sports he does the shows about.

I would guess farmers would be the last people to stand up for lurcher work.

You’re so right Luckee, nothing is lost until you give up trying to fight for it. Unfortunately that appears to be where the lurcher world is right now and as someone with a great affection for running dogs, I find that very sad. In my view lurcher work (particularly in relation to rabbit control) is one of the easiest forms of hunting with dogs to justify and defend, rabbits are still classed as a “significant agricultural pest”. Yet as from April/May time it will be illegal in Scotland and it’s a loss that was self-inflicted. It’s a simple fact of life that if politicians are only heari

It absolutely grates on me some of these adverts that simply refuse to acknowledge that people are different......why are white English people asked to pay out for things that are totally abhorrent to us....." adorable little Ashanti will be raped 6 times and married by the age of 11......please donate money and end her suffering "........no you daft c**ts how about getting these weird disgusting animals up to speed on the rights and wrongs of human civilisations instead !..........." there will be no elephants left soon,please donate money so we wont have to say goodbye to our dear old friend

My old hunting partner I met through a friend turned out we both had a keen interest in running dogs so we became hunting buddy’s turned out to be my lost cousin we had a bit of a chuckle when we found out we always said what are the chances of how we met an are hobbies are the same.

If its just the rough coat your after I'd recommend a deerhound, beddy or bitza your life will be a lot easier.

Quick trip out there learning the ropes, the roe was a bonus whilst out with the camera

angel of the North. .. monkey hangers. . the Toon. .. why I hinny. .. different gravy. ..lol

Of course he has... he's like a dog with 2 dicks!! lol

You are right there when some thing falls under pest control it opens it up to loads of restrictions. I basically do it for sport and watching a dog work is the best thing ever and some free range food is a bonus. The country side the conditions you just can't explain it to some one who doesn't know. Pottering around at dusk or dawn with a dog and a net or what ever. All the poor old pigeons shooters have to preach this pest control nonsense and I am one of them too. But the truth is we just enjoy shooting things out the sky and the skill and effort it takes. The surroundings. Lovely weather a

Out of the lads I’ve met off here Id say 75% are clueless ,useless ,wannabe using types that I dumped after the first meet .6 have been ok with 3 along the same lines as myself . Anyone still mad for it after a week solid stalking lamping and keeping up with the pace I walk is ok in my book . Seriously Ben get yourself down for a weekend .I’ve a high chair ,I mean high seat just handy for spying on next doors sheep.Who knows, you may strike up a meaningful relationship with one of them ??

Fuc me I did that with deep heat , I was on the floor in agony ?and I’ve only got a little set

The argument for lurcher work should not be just about pest control but also a very sustainable method of harvesting meat that should be encouraged. The green types want more free range, low carbon types of food harvesting and ferreting and lamping is as free range and low carbon as you can get.

Barrie, you have always done great work for the Terrier fraturnity,...I am sure ALL genuine hunting men, wish you well and thank you, for your service?

Well that was a bust, saw one rabbit but it was a good time, made some new freinds,talked some shit, shared some stories, life's good

Out this morning

Had another trip out today on a new perm. Pals bitch and the young lads beddy x did well.

I would give anything with beardie blood in it a wide birth they are as strange as the come, stick to the border blood imo.Iv one here she’s coming up 4 years old and only now are we starting to sing off the same song sheet ?????

Can also be a pain in the hole

What about illegal aliens, ive seen hundreds of those

Ffs Keith….she was only telling me that me dinner was ready ! Cheers.

Dear God!! c**ts like that should be tortured to the point of passing out, every few days, for 10 years, then hung by the neck, slowly.

Im off it three weeks today,just doesnt agree with me any longer,heart races like f**k pounding out of me chest ffs think im going to collaspe,had a good run 22 years

That pair of ploughs lived at my old depot about 20 odd years back. Of all the photo's I have of the old depot I could only find 1 pic showing the ploughs, and not a very good pic, you have to hunt to find them LOL. Incidentally, the photo shows the silhouette of Canary Wharfe being constructed in the distance, a far cry from the size it is today.

do any you lads remember jacks game the days when we had 4 channels on the tele and town and country by jack hargreeves they done a very good at edu cating joe public at the time life was good and people were normal f**k nose what happend after that but i dont like it the woods and lay byes now are all full doggers goosing each other the new norm

You do know like 70% of the proceeds usually go right to the pockets of the big wigs putting all those things on don't you ? PETA is a prime example non profit and they've been bright up on I don't know how many occasions where the big wigs where Pocketing most of the donations. I mean seriously youd figure with these places getting ten of thousands of dollars in donations they could buy f***ing big ass ranches and just keep all these strays and abused animals there for the rest of their lives happy as hell instead of kill shelters One thing about not having TV anymore is I don't h

Not many left that ain’t been hit bad off dog lads or had stuff stolen, then newcomers get sick as no permission

Am I one of the 3 ? Or the 6 ? Please don’t tell me I’m a 75% ‘er !!

Definitely needs a group to promote it as a viable and humane method of control, but sadly too many idiots are boasting on social media these days and the public see us all the same type

Cannie beat it bolting to the dogs we isa coming on a treat

Alas I'm a simpleton

The next generation…

Barrie ....I remember your Dad walking his whippets round Darlaston ,cracking dogs and your Dad was always very smartly dressed ?......i hate to say it but i really think us lurcher lads are up against it due to the fantastic job the police ,media even the CA have done on us by throwing us all under the " hare coursing ,organised crime gang ,driving the land " banner ,just walking a lurcher down a country lane is an arrestable offence now ,sadly i think we are beyond help I wont stop ,i cannot stop ,i love seeing my dogs run ,are 56 now ,had a whippet at 7 year old ,greyhounds ,lurchers

Hi Phil.... that's very kind of you to say such a thing. But in all honesty I'm just the person who puts his head above the parapet every now and again (one of us has to) and I'm just a cog in the wheel which makes up the NWTF. The real grafters (who rarely get any credit or thanks) are those who set up and run the Clubs which make up the NWTF. Without their hard work and committment there wouldn't be a Federation and terrier work wouldn't have a voice. I've been around long enough to remember when the lurcher world was in a very similar position to ourselves and I saw first hand the valuable

I’ll let him park his car on my driveway and sleep in it, anytime he likes ??

Heard the partner talking earlier on the news.no video of him just voice.. And he doesn't sound distraught at all..seemed strangely relaxed while talking..no emotion in the man.

Last night's Sunday dinner ?? Cheers, D.

Is seagal not on it ???

Like some poor man's Ant & Dec?? Cheers Si...you're a good 'un. Been fortunate, via this forum, to have got in touch with some proper selfless, helpful fellas who you can genuinely rely on as mates. Grateful. (And a little weekend pisseđ)
