Has anybody else seen groups of herons standing in fields in large numbers .Must be a seasonal thing as Ive seen it before ,this time of year.They were hunched up ,all facing the middle of the group .23 in all.

Roe deer are usually found in small groups .However ,we have an area around us which is deemed a sanctuary and regularly holds between 30-50 roe of all ages and sexes which come together to form a herd .They can be veiwed from the roadside .I queried the roe herd thing until I saw this for myself.In the rutting season bucks will not toleratea bucks of breeding age around them.

Ian- Dont let your local council hear that [joins the main drains] I got into a lot of bother when the neighbour reported a blockage and called out dino-rod. They followed the manholes back to my garden and although the blockage was further up the street they reported me to the council .Luckily I knew the official and promised to change it. :ph34r:

whats the signs of a bitch in season
Squirrel_Basher replied to a topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
Some bitches are meticulously clean and are hard to catch in season.Apart from the vulva swelling ,your daily checks should include running your hand down her back to see if her tail flicks to the side when you reach her hips .Bitches will have a bloody discharge for 3-4 days which turns a clear,mucus like as the season progresses.From the 10-13 day of heat the bitch will stand,hopefully. -
Very good post mate........ ......... A great asset to any kennel if used properly.... very true . however the very nature of the harder breeds is what makes tham attractive to the not so sensible and the less mature terrier owners. (not a dig at the responsable lads just an observation) LIKE PLUMMER SAID"THE TATOO AND EARING BRIGADE".Have to go now and wax my legs. :11:

Dont see anyone being macho just sticking up for their way of life !.One of them is worth a 1000 woodys. KEEP DIGGING.

Going to go easy on this thread?The amount of protein fed also concerns the age of the dog.IMO a dog is at its peak at around 4-6years of age and this is when the protein should be highest ,in accordance with the working season.There is some medical evidence to suggest that dogs past thier prime have difficulty in digesting high protein contents.The excess protein passes straight through the dog.Some kidney damage is also possible through too high a protein.I lessen the content as the dog gets older. Country Wide stores do a good range of protein contents for £10 a bag. Mate- Dont keep

Foxdropper- I feel all left out No hard feelings, you can buy me a pint sometime :whistle: I think you owe me a drink mate for a stressful thread .No hard feeling from me either.

I shot a 3/4 grown cub with an axsor.Not f.a.c. Roughly 20yds away.

Mark-I WAS WRONG.It seems I have been brainwashed by the coursing around me.No excuse I know but there it is.I would like to thank you all for putting me straight.All apart from countryman who pissed me off at the start of the thread.Going back to the night in question ,I quess the greyhound was fit and the lurchers were not.Some of the greyhound boys will have heard of the coursing gent I refer to but name dropping is not my thing.I apologies for any aggressive language or name calling.

Take the piss all you like.A person can only say what hes seen. Take the piss all you like.A person can only say what hes seen. Personally I think some of the replies were based on what people thought should happen and not first hand experience.

All I can say is that Ive seen some straight coursing greyhounds{not x track]outlast collie/grey and bed/grey, on the lamp ,run for run.These greys are owned by a local ex hare courser who has now turned his attention to the humble rabbit.Rightly or wrongly Im lead to believe the greyhound gets stamina from the deep chest.If the more experienced lads on here say otherwise then I stand corrected.Have any of you ever been lamping with either greyhound or whippet or are you quoting from the book I need to read. sarcastic bunch- :oops:

WELL PUT UP A TITLE UNDER STAMINA STRAIGHT GREYHOUND ARE GREYHOUND X AND LET THE READERS PUT THERE OPINION ON AND THEN I CAN TELL U ,I TOLD YOU SO Where to post it though ,,,,.On the lurcher topics ,everyone will be shouting for thier world beater.On the greyhound topics ,none of you lurcher boys would read it !
-
Time in the field mate !Talking about pure coursing blood. Are you saying that the lurcher is a better hare courser than the pure greyhound.
-
C@ntryman- you are obviously one of those twats that knows it all but in reality knows f@uck all.I would love to enter into a battle of wits with you but its no fun against an unarmed man!. hes goin back about 300 years and forgeting why they then crossed it again Bull blood was used to add a bit of fire to the breed.This is where the brindle coat colour comes from. Whippets were created from bred down greyhounds so same blood .Bull blood is still added today but you dont see these on the tracks.Every breed benefits from introductions from time to time . Greyhounds have bull in
-
Why do you think pure greyhounds are used for coursing hares .The most stamina sapping animal ever born. A fit greyhound will be running long after your lurchers have decided enoughs ,enough.Dont forget that the reason we cross sighthounds with other breeds is for trainability [brains if you like],and not to improve stamina.
-
How can someone who has never shot driven game have an opinion on it?I wouldnt dream of downing another mans sport .You may as well join the L.A.C. as game shooting is next on thier agenda.
-
Greyhounds have bull in their make up? Ha ha ha very good, do you have a pedigree or are you just talking shite? I did not question the stamina of the Greyhound Its the whippets stamina that i question, due to its stature. C@ntryman- you are obviously one of those twats that knows it all but in reality knows f@uck all.I would love to enter into a battle of wits with you but its no fun against an unarmed man!.
-
Coutryman-if you make any statements on here that you cant back up then will be ripped up ,fact.If youve never been driven shooting then shut the f@ck up.

Bumped into this fellow the other day....

Done with a penknife actually,took me all day though. :ph34r: -
Your right rob, but i think is more by luck , than good judgement I dont for one minute think the CA have, or had any bloody idea what they were doing full stop. they dont need no idea, so long as nuppits keep paying their subs, they can employ plebs such as that girl they interviewed, bums on luxury padded seats, paid for by the man on the street - not this man anyway. They may not have prevented a *** but considering government voted for an outright *** we aint doing too bad!

Stick a magpie in a crows territory and you will have the pair same day.Stick a crow in magpie territory and they will shout at it from the trees.Not always true but generally.When using crow decoys[live birds ]for crows ,make sure its a stranger to the area as if you place a fresh caught crow from a neighbouring territory on the edge of a pair of crows then they may be used to it and not bother .Use a stranger and swap them about if nothing is caught.Same aplies to magpies.

I dont beleive that a pure whippet has the stamina to be an out and out lamp dog Where are the fans of the out of fashion colliex a fine dog for the lamp, as many others must be able to confirm :ph34r: Whippets -no stamina-Where do you think stamina comes from in a lurcher ,from the sighthound.All stamina is from this side of the cross.The bullX being the exception.Both whippet and greyhound have bull in thier make up.
