  1. Strong looking dog you have got there. Is he first cross bullgrey ?
  2. Just got back from my first outing. I saw no more than 10 rabbits and a deer. It started to rain so probably didnt help. I walked 3.8 miles but dog didnt chase anything, probably more my fault. I did enjoy it though, the first rabbit I saw I thought this is it but nothing. I'm gonna definitely be out again this week try a different field. Maybe even in the morning.
  3. Thanks I'll bare that in mind. I have travelled for football so no different I suppose
  4. Haha yeah I was guessing by you're name you were miles away. Thanks anyway
  5. Here's the lamp I bought clulite
  6. Yeah I saw a few on my run with him the other day just as it was getting light. He was straight over there But I also saw someone on the cotswold way driving in the field with what I know now to be a big lamp, so was gonna head out there after I've had a cup of tea. Just gonna walk through the fields with my lamp and see what happens ?
  7. I'm based in bristol but willing to travel within reason ?
  8. Hello all I've been on here a few months now and just after a few tips. I've got my dog fit and been out trail running with him most days, but now is the time to get him to work. I had a non kC whippet before him who I fancied working but never got round to it and I've always wanted to. I've just purchased a lamp setting me back £59.99. So I'm sort of making myself get out there this time around after missed opportunities to go with lads who knew what they were doing. I've since lost contact with them. So what's the best time to get out ? Do you gut the rabbit as soon as
  9. Trail run with this dog 30 mile a week mainly off lead. 35kg 28tts Got a lamp on order, so going to be out very soon and we are both new to it. Never even skinned a rabbit even but hes never caught one either.
  10. Seems the general consensus is that everyone likes the fox but also everyone has hunted many. I also like seeing foxes and am new to the game, so why is it they are killed so much ? are they that bad of an animal to livestock etc. I sure think watching the hunt is great but not sure how I would feel if the dog I owned killed it and I set out for that deliberately. Probably a stupid question and I'm not against anyone doing it but I've often been curious. Understand completely with rabbits as they are eaten
  11. Not sure it's a bullshit story it's well documented. Surely he would have sued for slander seeing as hes broke now. I was a fan by the way exciting fighter
  12. Just bought a clulite long ranger plr 500. I couldn't find any halogen ones so heard these are ok, sure be better than my head torch.
  13. Do you think a 575 lumens head torch would be good enough to lamp rabbits with. I use it for trail running. I was out on a run wednesday morning just getting light and the dog bolted after couple of rabbits who seen him a long way off. I was thinking to revisit in the night with this head torch. I was wondering what times best for rabbits and if my torch would be any good for them ? Dogs recall very good. I'm looking forward to the day I upload my dogs first catch on here. atb
  14. Any pictures mate ? that would make an interesting cross
  15. I nearly got a full kerry blue but heard they can be murder with other dogs and hard as nails. Although they say that the breed has been watered down somewhat over the years and not anywhere near as feisty as they were in the past.
  16. Am I being daft or has that got a lead on it, obviously I'm green as but how does that work.
  17. I'm after my first lamp and W. Katchum told me the halogen ones are the way to go. I've had a look at the one mentioned above and a lot seems to be not in stock or sold out. The 140 75w is available... do you think this would be a good starter lamp ? Thanks
  18. Thanks for advice and I'll have a look online for one of those lamps
  19. Looking for some advice on getting a lamp. What's the best to get or starter one not to cheap either. Thinking of going out 4am I've identified some fields I'm gonna try. What's the crack with leaving a fox carcass on land is this a no no ? If so where do you dispose side of road ? I've never done it but been thinking about doing it for years an itch I've got to scratch and I may not like the killing of a fox as I'm not eating it, but I love watching him chasing one in the park early morning as I'm not deliberately on it. Would have no problem with the rabbits as they'd b
  20. I'm in the same boat as you mate. I run him in the morning and now it's dark he gives chase to anything he sees whether it be deer, squirrel or a fox. I carry on running as his recall is good and nobody is about in general. He might be shit as he doesnt seem to have caught anything got nutmegged by a squirrel and ran passed a cat that was a yard away from him, not that I'd want him to nail the cat. I had high lumen head torch on so I could see its eyes far off. I was glad cause i reckon hed go straight through it It seems to scratch his itch, however I've often wondered what it would
  21. You've got some serious talent . If you're not a professional then I think you defo could be, brilliant work mate
