Well done dog ?

I was waiting for the first frost to start the sloe gin but might just cheat and throw them in the freezer overnight

Can You Tell ... You'd Be Surprised ........
Tyla replied to socks's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
If anyone's arranging a trip to a meet I'd but interested. -
I've just done my first batch of cider. Tastes lovely but it's bloody lethal!

We all used to laugh at the oldies trying to relive their youth for a night. They'd crash and burn about 4 am when we were just getting going lol. Those oldies were probably younger than I am now and I bet I wouldn't even make it to 4 these days, even if I wanted to! The thought of the next day, even now, still fills me with terror never mind Wednesday. There are still tunes that raise the hair on the back of my neck but I'd not do it now for anything!

If only we had ANY public hunting land here we would have a better idea of what you're asking. All land here is privately owned mores the pity

Did you survive downsouth?? I remember Charlie C playing but never knew him.

Got down lydd quite a bit in the mid/laye 90s.A really good mate of mine used to play a lot down there. Who was your mate?
-
Did anyone go to the fridge or Lydd watersports in the late 90's - early '00's? They were our places, almost like a family. The after parties were something else, number of times we realised we'd brought a random person all the way back to sussex by accident was unbelievable. Always seemed like a good idea at 6 am, just not so much 12 hours later when they trying to work out how to get home lol

Drop Shotting Small Jelly Lures For Zander And Perch
Tyla replied to beamish78's topic in Fresh & Salt Water Fishing
I had a go with soft baits and jig heads this year after a mate showed them to me. I'm totally hooked. Caught roach, perch, chub, pike, bass, wrasse and pollack all on the same set up. I'd like to add mackerel and trout to that lift but no luck yet. I've caught fish I places I'd never have thought to even look before! -
You won't go far wrong with the goretex haix high liability boots. I wear mine everyday for work and hunting and they are still waterproof a year on. They were £39 off eBay. I've just bought another pair that I'll not wear to work as grinding melted the laces on the other ones.

Cheers, I might take you up on that. Keep us updated on your dogs progress, I reckon he'll pick it up pretty easily
-
This thread is interesting. There is an obvious difference between those that do what they do quietly and without bother being aware of the risks and those who act brazen and tough but are surprised when they come unstuck. If I were doing anything in that area I would be heeding the warning and going elsewhere, there are plenty of other places. The last thing I'd be doing is going there on purpose to make some kind of point.

If you ever make it up to sussex give me a shout

What are you people talking about??? Is it some kind of riddle?
-
Your post has made me think Darren, do you have the dog at heel or in front? I've always kept her at heel but have to keep looking back at her to check her body language. It would be alot easier with her in front but don't want to confuse indicating with tracking in her mind. She's good enough now but there's always another way to learn.
-
Where are you based fursty?
-
I ran my bitch their a few times and everything she got cut. Your dogs pads must be like chain mail socks. Now I take my bushers and let someone else bring the lurcher
-
No worries. All good advice there
-
Mine was 6 when she started so no reason yours shouldn't be able to. Teaching steadiness was hard and I'm still very aware of her behaviour as there's nothing she'd like more than to go back to the old days! Habituation was how I did it, getting out amongst deer alot. On lead to start, then at heel and finally loose. I had an advantage there as I pretty much live in a deer park, hence the change of tack. Getting bout with the rifle on rabbits is a good start though

Dogs do fine on three legs. Sure it won't course again but it's not the be all and end all. The culprits here are the pricks that left it, trying to shift the blame makes the rest of us look just as stupid and heartless.
-
In my view this is exactly what the RSPCA is for, if they stuck to caring for mistreated or abandoned animals rather than politics they would have more time to do their actual job. If they do catch up with the pricks that did this then I wish them every success in their prosecution. I also think this attitude that anyone who owns a lurcher can do no wrong and ought to be protected from the law regardless of what they've done is bull shit. There is is a higher than average number of wankers in our ranks and they should be ruthlessly weeded out not protected.
-
Fair play to you.
-
Really interesting post Darren. I love the silent communication you get between you and the dog. She watches me as much as I watch her and if I freeze or drop down she'll do the same. She also tucks in behind me if I'm stalking into something and uses me as cover, I never taught her that she just started doing it. It's handy as she is pale coloured so stands out in a dark wood
