I wouldn't eat one. And yes, they're wild. I've photographed them quite a few times. With the help of my friends. They are very difficult to photograph in the daytime, in the wild.

This is one of the examples why I don't start saluki lurchers at such a young age. I find that they take longer to mature and be 'bomb proof'. But I guess we all go about things different ways...

She needs a much smaller dummy bud.

Ok...another clue: It's hind feet leave much bigger tracks than its front feet....

I'll give you a clue. It's a wild animal but very very elusive....

Out of who's bum did these come?

You're right.....but there's always room for improvement....

That's the plan JD, and hopefully not a lot of lugging involved as it's mainly hide work If it's hide work you can get away with slower shutterspeeds and maybe use a 1.4 tc....

No torch. It's illegal for a start. And it serves no purpose other than to scare everything. You can pick out the roosting birds against the pink cloud.

Thanks. The Falcons are superb guns, they really are. But, just like with cameras, it is all down to the person behind them. Over the many years I'v hunted with airguns I've bumped into plenty of lads who had all the gear and no bloody idea. But as long as we're all in the game together it doesn't really matter.

I don't think he was used to shooting quarry. the old I had was some gun, back in those days there was alot of estate lads that had airguns, the woods were being hunted all the time, but things got wise an

Used correctly a staple can aid healing by a long time, getting the dog back out in the field quicker. But they must be used in conjunction witha bit of sense and the wound clensed, generally with salt water as a first line of defence.

My advice: She's simply too young. I'd give her at least a month off, a teeny weeny bit of carry work and give it another go. Ensure the recall is 110%........ It's nice to see a good carry back... -
All's well that ends well.....

I use a soft hand brush when I'm cleaning the dogs feet. however, once I know theres a problem I switch to a sponge as it's gentler. Could we have a photo if possible?
