    That's rich coming from a Jockistani where the national dress for 'men' is a tartan skirt!

    No mate, no terriermen at all in the South not even one, so, no terriermen obviously means no 'great' terriermen, however you might judge 'great'. Us soft southerners would be afraid to put a terrier down a hole and anyway we'd be too weak to dig one out and our hands would get all blistered and mucky if we tried so we wouldn't want to anyway. We leave terrier work to hard northern types and to welshies - at least when they can get their eyes off the sheep for long enough. Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by 'great' does great just mean well known or a prolific breeder of teriers or wha

    If the RSPB come on here I think we ought to celebrate with a 'Five Bird Roast' I think we could do a Sparrowhawk inside a Hen Harrier inside a Red Kite, inside a Sea Eagle inside a Swan. There's plenty of spars, kites and swans round my way but other members will have to help out with the harrier and eagle and if I think that the Sea Eagle is going to taste too fishy we could substitute a Golden Eagle instead . It's going to be a bugger boning out the sparrow hawk though and finally, to cap the celebration instead of tacky Chinese Lanterns which just litter up the countryside we could releas

    Here's your answer: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1991/54/section/7 It's called the Farmer's Defence, so do you have written permission from teh farmer and are they causing serious damage to crops etc?

    If you mean what you say then set an example and clear them off this site. You own THL and could easily ask your mods to delete any posts glorifying this kind of activity and also delete the idiot posting this kind of stuff. But, you will probably need a new lurcher forum moderator given that the current one has made money publishing stories about them (i.e. 'Now that's what I call Lurcherwork'!

    I know the difference between a sparrowhawk and a kestrel and some years ago I saw a kestrel make a serious attempt to kill a jackdaw. I have also seen kestrels eat carrion including once teh frozen and a mashed up carcase of a fox on the side of the road during a period of snow and prolonged hard weather. If it was a kestrel it might just have killed the magpie or more likely it could have found it dead, eitehr way it's perfectly possible but by no means an everyday sight.

    How long you can hang depends on the temperature, in a cold-snap or if you have a chiller you can hang game for much longer than in warmer weather. If you hang a roe buck for 2 weeks at ambient temperatures in the summer, even if you can keep the flies off it will be completely rotten and uneatable. The advice about Capercaillie is wrong - I would say bury it and leave it buried unless you like the taste of pine resin!

    Part of the job of central and local governemnt is to prepare and have contingency plans for a huge range of potential emergencies including outbreaks of rabies. Rabies has been here before and has been eliminated but it is still found in France not far across the channel hence quarantine, and more recently innoculation and pet passports. Occasional cases crop up in quarantine and there is probably a low level of rabies in British bats - certainly the last death in the UK was of someone who got bitten when handling bats. Remember Foot and Mouth? Well,there are long-standing plans to combat out

    how tall an heavy is he mate?? I've got a 3/4 grey / 1/4 deerhound bitch out of a very, very well bred 27" first cross bitch by a 31" coursing greyhound. I deliberately picked the biggest bitch pup and she came out a whisker under30" and 85lbs. she's a superb allrounder and top big game dog.

    Reading this and a lot of other recent threads it seems to me more and more that this site is becoming just a support group for the increasing number of heartless psychopaths set on ram-raiding the countryside. Sadly, I think it's time for Ian B to either pull the plug on this site completely or at the very least to kill the lurcher forum like he killed the bull breeds forum. At the very minimum I think its time to introduce some ruthless moderating to get these idiots, sadists and thugs off of here and perhaps help teach youngsters developing an interest in longdogs some respect for the count

    You are a scumbag for even thinking of keeping it, you should give it back to its owner ASAP

    NO But you need f.A.C. For ANYTING BIGGER THAN AAA Nonsense, SG & SSG and some of the American sizes are legally available to SGC holders and both are bigger than AAA. Follow the link and look at the price lists and you will find large shot size cartridges: www.justcartridges.com/pricelists.html Slug are FAC only, not sure about LG size shot Also see: www.jonathan-spencer.co.uk/Reference/Guns/Shotgun/Ammo/Shotsize.pdf

    I have shot feral goats in the past, some were stinky some wern't but 'wild goats' in this country are just domestic goats gone feral. Now the question you want to ask yourself is whether you think its worth the risk of running them - by all accounts they aren't a challenge for a dog to catch and except for young kids they aren't really edible except as dog food. The fact that some other idiot has done this before and got away with it doesn't mean that you will. The question to ask yourself is this: Can you be absolutely 100% certain that after you have been out on Farmer Smith's land chasing

    The point the man was making was that although most can take stick, bull greys generally don't have the nose or general hunting ability to make good daytime dogs capable of finding their own quarry in the way that collie crosses can. My suggestion would be a deerhound greyhound for this work, almost all have good noses and will hunt like a hound and mine certainly hunt up their own quarry. They also seem to have a natural antipathy to foxes and will generally kill them without bitten up.

    Bring your dogs up among domestic stock of all types first, and you wont have any issues at all. Some f*****g armchair hunters on ere I guess this is just the usual story - it's the school holidays and all the 'expert' teenagers' have put down their gameboys and come on here. I've run dogs on a daily basis for more than 35 years and don't need lessons or insults from a teeny tot. Wild goats in this country are just domestic goats gone feral - there's no real difference in appearance or scent or behaviour etc between feral goats and domestic goats. There's lots of small holdings wi

    ............'king idiocy - just what's going to happen when your dog meets domestic goats after running those things?

    There used to be one but it got pulled becuase of the total idiots it attracted and the trouble it caused

    I think one of Dave's dogs would be ideal for what you want. I've seen a number do a good job with larger quarry, why not give hime a ring?
