They were bailing silage today in North Yorkshire !!! Cheers.

I go onto Gin's permission now and again, and I commented on the absence of hares, he told me the farmers shot them all as they were sick of having to round up the cattle off the A19 after the lampers had been and left all the gates open. Sad but true. Cheers.

Not having a go, world.hunter, but she could do with a good brushing/combing out, looking at those photo's. Cheers.

I feel really sorry for the lad and more so for the dog, I hope it makes a full recovery, but at 12 y.o. it's harder to recover from injury. As to the on/off lead debate; the lad said the dog was around the corner, out of sight of his dad, who only knew of the accident when he heard the dog yelp. In that case it could have been a paper boy, postman, milkman, someone on their way to work, etc. The moral of the story is keep your dog on the lead. Harsh but true. Cheers.

It all started when I was 13, my older brother brought home a racing whippet pup, but as he was 4 years older than me, he soon discovered more interesting things, girls and booze !!! The pup passed to me and I had a fair bit of success racing it. We used to walk home from the local tracks across the feilds and at the time they were teeming with hares and soon the hare coursing meant more than the racing. Later I started lamping, an old car spot lamp and a motor bike battery from the scrap yard. Owned a few more whippets but the racing was in decline and we were more into hunting, so it seemed

North Tyne Hunt today. -
Not sure if this IS a wind up, but if you've had dogs all your life you should know that ANY dog can be kept outside, providing it has a dry, damp and draught free kennel. Cheers.

With deference to you D.S. I know the owners of the sire and dam of my dog and know both dogs are workers. The Bedlington in my pup came from Breakheart fell kennel and the deerhound in her was from working lines. I don't understand your comment about deerhounds being available to the "likes of us", why not ? There are people on this site who have well bred , working deerhounds available for stud, like wise working bedlingtons. The point of my comment was that I would like to know the breeds in the makeup of any pup I was buying so I could have an idea of how it might turn out. When you are to

Just cause your mates dog takes 'em day but not night, don't beleive him that this is the norm. EVERY dog that I've seen do them in the day, doe's them at night aswell. I'ts possible that there is dogs like your mates, but I haven't seen one. Cheers.

I, personlly, would not buy a pup that was only advertised as "Lurcher to Lurcher". I would have to know the breeds in it's make up, not neccasarilly the exact percentages. Why ? I would not want collie or bull in my pup, before anyone jumps on me, it's just my preferance, nothing wrong with those crosses. My latest lurcher could be considered a "bitza", but I know her exact breeding, beddy/grey x deer/grey - whippet/grey, which is just the breeds I wanted in a pup, (wouldn't of minded a bit saluki, either). Obviously, some breeders will say anything or tell you what you want to hear, so best

I was pulled by three blokes with shotguns on the feilds behind my house, they threatened to give me a hiding and shoot my dogs. Two things were in my favour, I had just come back from 26 years in the Middle East, when someone points a gun at you out there, they mean it !! I could see that two of these guys weren't really up for it and the other one was just a gobby c**t showing off, secondly, I knew that the local council owned the land and had a strict no shooting, no hunting policy, anyway I phoned the council, who shit themselves and visited the farmer who leases the land and threatened to

Stopped buying it after the bother they had with Foxgun Tom, et al. Cheers.

Hey Vandal, wouldn't mind the Polack one, I'm about a 46" chest, would it fit, how much do you want mate ? Cheers.

Torchwood, in these days of the "ban" , etc, you must understand a bit of paranoia. If you are a genuine guy, put up some pics or stories or a tale or two. If you are new to the game, say what you hope to acheive. Don't leap into threads you have just read about. I'm willing to give you the benifit of the doubt, but believe us ; if you are not genuine, you will be found out. Cheers.

I don't know the criteria for joining now, but most hunting sites want new members to be verified by existing members to keep the anti's out. Doe's anyone know "Torchwood" ? Hate to sound paranoid, but his only post has been to have a go at a member. We've all been guilty of that ! But not in our first posts !! IAN, have a look, mate. Cheers.
-
Yes, unless you know something different !! If he is a cuckoo in the nest, I think the admin should look into it !! Yes, Markbrick can come over as a pratt and a know it all, but at least he is honest and genuinly doe's a bit, better him than some a hole trying to cause trouble !! Cheers.
-
So, not allowed to ask a genuine question then ? As I said, I was reading through articles and saw a lot of praise about showing and simulated coursing, just wondering how his dogs are faring now the hunting seasons been here a while... Torchwood, not really a genuine question, more like jumping on a bandwagon, (extremly late !!), lots of people had a go at Markbrick, but give him his due, he took it and gave as good as he got; dosen't need some newbie raking up the past. How about posting something YOU have done ? Cheersw.

Bullarabs..... ? Cheers.

OI OI DEKAW WHERE DO YOU HUNT MATE ,,,LOCAL OR DO YOU TRAVEL? IM FROM NEWBIGGIN HALL NEXT TO THE NEW POLICE STATION SEE YA LATER SCOTTY IF ANYONE FANCIES A BIT SPORT ON THE LAMP IM ALWAYS UP FOR IT..... LATERZ Hi lads, I'm from Lemington, drink in Longbenton and hunt just about anywhere. Got hunting mates in West Allotment, Cramlington, Benton.

The Queen has lurchers in her kennels at Sandringham. Peter Stringfellow got two from there and sent them to a Saudi sheik as a gift. A big smooth coated dog and a medium sized broken coated bitch. They had "pedigrees" going back 8 generations. Cheers.

"Roe can't run fast"; "Border Terriers catching Roe"; I , (or more probably the person who wrote that nonsense !!), must be living in a parrallel universe !! The adult Roe in open countryside up here, Northumberland, can certainly run, and the bit about Borders is just insulting the intelligence of anyone who has run Roes with Lurchers. How many of these book writers have actually done a bit ? Cheers.
-
Take the dog and lamp with you. Cheers.

I'm certain the face picture is not genuine; firstly if it was caused by a firework, where is the burning, gunpowder residue or smoke damage ? Secondly, with such massive facial trauma, the eyes would either be swollen shut or popping out, CGI, I think !! The second picture is probably genuine; prolapsed rectum and SERIOUS hemorhoids !!! Cheers.
-
Your'e catch depends on many things; not least the amount of game available; if it's not there. it can't be caught !!! How good are your'e dogs, how keen are YOU, how far are you willing to travell ? In the 60s & 70s we would travell 300 mile round trip and spend three nights in an old carravan to get bags of 150 +, these days it's only around the doors and 6 -12 rabbits is ok, the odd "big rabbit" or "very big" rabbit is a bonus, but it is still great fun !! Cheers.

It depends very much on the type of cacti; when I was living in the middle east, shop bought flowering types would die off in the winter, even though it was nowhere near freezing, whereas those collected from the desert thrived. They were all outside, so I think the shop bought ones were meant for indoors and not as hardy as wild types. I'm sure you could find out on the net which are more cold tolerant. Cheers.
