  1. I don't keep any photos in the house matey......
  2. Hasn't anyone got any actual deer coursing photos??
  3. Yes, thats what I did, set the holes I fancied and shovelled the rest. Just one half grown rabbit today...
  4. 'prey drive'? why have they been bred for 2000 years for their hunting prowess????? For actual catching and filling a freezer you won't beat a bit of saluki...........IMO.......
  5. £300 a pop malukis Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. Get it on Epupz, like the rest of 'em.... :D
  7. unnaturally good looking, :laugh: now as for the "artic" side of the matter , you could be working double shifts :laugh: Ah,...good old Artic....He was the bloke who took me out running Chinese water Deer and I went back on his land...well...that was the story being spread by his mate 'Bogger' and him. As soon as I got wind of it I put the record straight, asking the question of how can this possibly be true when I have never even met Artic, never mind been hunting with him....strangely enough Bogger and Artic vanished.....hhhmmm...,they're gone but not forgotten... very much with
  8. What material have you used as a drawcord? Do you intend on using feathered fletching? Nice bow!
  9. Like I say....they won't have been a Dik Dik......they're an antelope....they survive in very arid savanha.... Have a look at Pudu....
  10. That's a big statement to make......have you come to that conclusion from watching dogs run on both types of land? The real un's kill em just as well anywhere, they just few and far between, but theres deffo dogs that excel on certain land types and woukld maybe perform differnetly on paddocks etc if they ran em, these maybe more the average types the majority of lads own, good honest grafter types I like the way you say real uns are far and few between lol. I mean dogs that can be taken to the very best land be it black or massive open seed and slipped at 80yds onto hares and kil the
  11. I could be very much mistaken but i think it might be illegal to buy, or sell, a 'wild ' bird, which is what a feral pigeon is if it was born in the wild....
  12. Hope I don't get any of them, they're such a nice animal. I actually set the plates quite hard, so maybe something of the weight of a weasel might be able to pass over the plate without triggering it off. I have anchored the traps with some 35lb braid ad i would hate anyone to find the traps. I got my Fenns from Fourteen acre, well recommended.
  13. I have been doing a bit of pest control for a farmer and he asked me to sort out a bit of a rabbit problem on a short hedgeline. they were eating the crops on one side. I set seven traps and ended up with six bunnies, which i was happy with. the traps are all reset and I've added another one to the line as well making it eight traps. Lots of the rabbits I have seen have been half grown but the farmer doesn't care, he wants them gone and he's paying for it. it's crazy but as a youngster I used to poach these very same field with the dog and lamp, and was forever getting chased off. I never did

The average lurcher

  17. at ten months............ seriously??? ive never even seen a sika never mind ran one lol but i always thought that if that stag can mate a red hind, then it might take a bit more than a ten month old lurcher pup to drop him??? im just showing mine a few rabbits by then, so can a dog really do a sika stag single handed untill you arrive on the scene at ten month old??? genuine question.........and if you got dogs that were able to, good on ya........... Personally I wouldn't doubt that a good, game ten month old could stop a sika stag......not that I would do it myself as, for my own do
  18. Make sure you keep telling them! They're a right randy lot.
  19. I always think it's ironic how some owners expect their dog to go beyond the call of duty for them and yet the expectation isn't reciprocated. A true lurcherman always has a lurcher, if there's no game where you live you get in the car. I am very familiar with BG's area and I'm here to say that there's a plague of gear there, least from what I seen,over the course of many years, that's why lads travel three or four hours from the north to run their dog, week in, week out........ Each to their own I guess.....
