    :thumbs:

     

    Saw some real grafters during the mining strike capable of filling the van as many days or nights of the week as needed was lucky enough to run one that never was shown up could and did kill everything everywhere its suprising what hard times brings about :thumbs:

  2. Seen a real good bitch out of jack and a pure saluki real un very strong and fast immaculately put together as are a lot of jacks offspring , my old mate rates jamies stuff hes been at it ten year longer than me which must be over forty years so he knows a dog or two and he crabs loads of folks daysqwalkers eh :thumbs:

  3. :thumbs: I hate spending money on plants usually take loads of different cuttings and take self set trees and rootstocks when out walking dont do anything special for the cuttings just a good compost mix and keep it wet most things will root given time.
  4. Its got to be worth the risk if your that far south theres earlys in the local shops from cornwall probably in poly tunnels :icon_eek:

    Cant see them rotting now as the weathers on the turn for the better and the odd ones i miss always come up next year so theyve been underground all winter i dont mind trying stuff early dont cost much and if it survives your quids in atb. :thumbs:

  5. The estates chatsworth thorseby cresswell and welbeck before the electronic eyes were put in game a plenty and for rabbits bakewell and haddon took some beating hares they were everywhere local not any more though.

    Can remember the cook report that really put the mockers on it atb.

  6. I have a 19.5 inch Moonlake bred whippet bitch, she is now 5.5yrs old but can still account for puss. Because the land I work is varied between pasture and moorland and is "hunted up" law does not enter the equation. Sometimes the're run off seat but mainly are hunted before being run, courses last between 2mins and 4 or 5 mins from picking up scent.

     

    As much as anything id sooner see a good dog find its own nothing beats being out and watching an experienced dog rake a field for old puss early and late when hes on the move much better than walking him up in the seat atb

Looks the same Seany mate hard to tell from the pic with it being dark but the size and shape is bang on looks like theres mottling on the cap or is that the pic mate if its the same sort there will have been a good size ring and in leaf litter id like a pound for everytime ive thought they were blews at first glance they smell the same and they have a lilac sporeprint like blewstalks do you know what they are mate ?

  11. :thumbs: safe DD thought you would have clocked them tried more than a few books at the library and couldnt find anything for definite but they smell spot on and the only lads i know that eats them are the in the next village old boys now thats the thing with fungi theres so many different varietys i bet some arent covered in books i know of one magic variety thats not for definite and one of the best so im told :icon_eek: i swear also theres two types of wood blewstalk one that grown speciffically in nettle beds and very easy to confuse with a very poisonous type when wet that often grows alongside.
