Go for it. Me & the missus packed in about 11 years ago. It was bloody hard to start with but it gets easier. We lived on a crime ridden inner city estate on the 18th floor of a tower block where every morning you got in the lift to find blood, needles, wraps, piss and anything else you care to mention. We wanted out big time and within 18 months of packing up we had a luxury holiday in Gambia and bought are first house. Give yourselves a goal and get it. Good Luck.

Don't know what PCHC is or was but it seems like it attracted some decent people with the right attitude. The only thing that concerns me on your post and this is only my opion is that you are leaning towards the CA and their appeal on Human Rights grounds. I went to a regional CA meeting a couple of weeks ago and they were a total bunch of tossers. The only people they were interested in were the people who ride to hounds. They didn't like it when I told them to stop talking about going trail or line hunting because whatever you call it, the one thing it certainly isn't is hunting. Also when

Now Now. They have probably had a difficult childhood watching mum & dad (maybe) scraping a living on benefits and free housing. We can't be abusing their human rights can we.

Good off the boys in blue to lend a hand, however I think 1-0 is a bit of an underestimate. Nearer 100-0 i think. KEEP HUNTING!!!

Redrob, I managed a day with the warwickshire a couple of weeks ago when they met at Draycote. I can't remember the last time it rained so much. Never mind though. The hounds hunted really well. It was nice to be there on a day when the whip was allowed to hunt hounds. Happy Hunting!!!

Must have some brave rats round here. I could go out in broad daylight and they would be sitting out. When they first heard me they would jump in a hole or under the chicken hut but as soon as I put some fresh corn down they would come out of their hidey holes and so long as I was reasonably quiet I could get a good shot at them while they were tucking in.

Befor I had dogs I used to shoot a few round my chicken pen. Nothing easier than chucking a bit of corn on the floor, popping back to the house to pick up the old .22 and take them out while they were nibbling. The point is its much more fun letting the dogs loose. KEEP HUNTING!!!

A mate of mine had seen a few rats about on the edge of some fields where he lives but when he took his dogs for a mooch they pissed off down their burrows and he didn't have a smoker to get them out. After weeks I had a couple of hours spare this morning so went out with him and 5 dogs plus the smoker. A quick courtesy call to the farmer and we were on, trouble is the rats had buggered off. Now the farmer knows we'll take the dogs round he's going to chuck some old corn about to give us a chance of some sport. Anyway the farmer also told us to go to one of his other yards where he had seen a

Nice pics, hope you washed the signpost. Last year I was on holiday in Jersey and there was a woman with a springer. As we left the beach I noticed it was marking anf thought it was probably a rabbit. When we got to the top of the cliff steps we were having a breather and this woman came along so I asked her if it had caught what it was marking. One huge bloody rat had been running round the boulders at the bottom of the cliff that is no more. Further conversation revealed her husband was once terrierman to the warwickshire hunt. On numbers its not the amount that pleases me so much as see

Its in all of us somewhere. Just a bit closer to the surface in some. That said I do it to get as close to nature as humanly possible. The fact that hunter is set against hunted, never truly knowing what will happen in the next second, or the one after. The thrill when it goes to plan, the rabbits hitting the nets one after the other, the terriers bolting the rats and hunting them down, the hound on the scent of charlie who uses all his cunning to evade capture. Being out in the elements against being sat in the warmth of the central heating, that can wait till later. I strongly believe that a

Wishing all fellow hunters a very happy new year and good hunting. Bollox to the ban!!!
