    well i finished work early today so i took the dogs on some fields we ferreted last year and had a few off and i thought it an ideal chance to practise these action shots! yeh [bANNED TEXT] the dogs never stoped running allday just got a blurry mess evertime im going to look into it tho as the camera is the one i use for fishing and is decent so i think its more my lack of knowledge than the cameras fault i got to the place and immediatly noticed it was a bit shy last year it held plenty but this year the dogs had to work hard thru cover putting up 1 or 2 bunnies checked some old earths no s

    Thanks. but ive a feeling that if im successfull with the dog i will probably go out a few times a week. I should realy try and get out with someone who has lurchers but unfortunately i dont know anyone with them. If anyone in the kerry or limerick area of ireland wouldnt mind taking me out and showing me the ropes some weekend it would be appreciated??? Now can anybody answer the wippet fox question? in that case mate a cross with whippet in it would be ideal ive seen a few straight whippets work now and one of them worked fox well pre ban the others ive seen lacked a bit i love wh

    my first lurcher was a beddy whippet greyhound and she was a great bitch but always wanted to hunt and got restless in kennels which is great if your hunting allday everyday the dog ive got know is much more layed back and is happy with a steady walk every day and steps it up when were out mooching hes a collie whippet greyhound my mates got a whippet greyhound which is a cracking first time dog its teaching him how to train it very easy going! the thing is you get out of a dog what you put into it yes a well bred lurcher will always want to hunt but i dont think youll ever get its full poten

    hi mate although i use delkims a few of my pals use fox rx's and i really rate them not as much as delkims but they tick all the right boxs the one thing they do that delkims dont is make differnt tones for drop backs and straight runs which i think is a trick idea you wont go wrong with rx's but the one one problem my mates have had they dont like water or frost and they dont like them both together! alright mate do you no if you can get the waterproof covers for them cant seem to find any on the tackle websites.would like to strech to delkims but just to dear.how do your delks hold up i

    a mate had a saluki greyhound that was really hard work he gave up in the end and give it his mother as a pet she was a really nervous dog and so sturburn but his mum says shes a great dog in the house and makes a great gaurd dog! my dog was hard work until the penny droped and after 12 months he was flying he was a collie whippet grey but the dog before that which was a beddlington cross was just amazing to train picked up everything in double quick time but i promised my brother he could have the dog when he got a new place broke my heart giving that dog away but i still go out with him re

    foxes and deer have no preditors! so if there was a fox and a deer on a patch of land and the land owner wanted them removed! and i went there and shot them i would take the deer for food! and yes i would leave the fox! what should i do then????????? do what ever you like with them fella if you killed them. it is not any different leaving 1 animal to rot than any other is it? its a fair piont what makes 1 animal lesser or greater than any other we hunt they should all be treated with the same respect but the piont of a few bad eggs ruining it for others is another matter all

    nice one mark a cracking bag as always and looks like that dog you sold hedges is doing everything you said it would to thing is mark you dont have to prove your dogs to anyone the bags you take do it for you be it in 1 hour or 5 hours best thing do is just put the proof up in picture form and let the rest of us make up our own minds but in the end it matters not what anyone else thinks anyway me personally i think your dogs must be very good at what they do and i would love to see them do it but i am just as content working the land i do and catching a couple a night its horses for courses
