  1. Running the nets alongside the combine is great fun... I used to follow the tractors with my nets and curs,...it is suprising what comes out of the standing corn... Foxes, Deers, Badgers and Hares,..it can get, emotional.. Keep up the netting,...it has an excitement all of its own,.day or night... All the best, Phil..
  2. Sorry to hear about the old gal ,...she certainly was an honest bitch,.realy liked her... You are right, to stick with what you know,...I prefer a fair bit of cur blood in a rabbiting lurcher,..they are good fun.. All the best, Phil.
  3. Goodonya fellah.... "A hunting man,.. and his hunting dog,..working in union,...makes for a deadly combination.."
  4. Well,....good quality working dogs are rarely cheap...
  5. Admittedly, I only need rabbiting/mouching curs,..but I firmly believe,.. that if money is your only goal,.... you'll produce,.. feck all...
  6. Yeah,..several times during my life,..I have had an urge to do something along those lines..but,..it is a long road and is, in my opinion,..a young man's game... The first thing to consider is,..what is your objective ? Secondly, is it achievable,...? Thirdly,.given the nessesary culling involved , plus all the feckwits, you are destined to meet along the way.., is it worth it .
  7. Good sensible,.helpful advice... I've had a few bitches that suffered badly from Phantoms,..and as stated,..once this business gets started,.. it can realy debilitate a female lurcher..They are, all over the place, both physically and mentally.... It is a mystery,.but some bitches never seem to get such problems
  8. Well,.if we are only talking rabbits,...it is uneconomical to keep lots of different dogs, for different tasks,... Most dogs can put on a fair showing, at both daytime and after dark excursions,...you do get specialists that excel at one discipline,.but as a rule,..it is sensible to use a dog as much as possible,..and fling everything that you can at him... Truth is,.a lurchers' career,. can often be a short one,..so personally, I'll take my sport/work,.. wherever and whenever I can find it,.. All the best, Phil.
  9. SKY,...a mix of Greyhound/Sheepdog/Whippet....
  10. Fecking fabulous,....beautiful babies,...you guys must be so proud...
  11. You are right there fellah... C'mon now lads,........'keep 'em coming'...
  12. What a nice pleasant thread,..so reminiscent of the original content,.. of this unique hunting mans website.... As a veteran hunter, it is difficult for me to contribute to many topics,...I only hunt a few rabbits,..I don't 'do' teeth,..and my dogs would probably run away from a large deer,.and quickly give up, on a good strong hare,.so,.my posting options,... are somewhat limited,.. Mind you, it is nice to look back on past events, and to remember a time when 'quantity' meant nowt,..and quality,.. combined with good craic,.. was the order of the day. All the best, Phil.
  13. Bill is always helpful,...a real Gent...
  14. I once encountered such a beast,....nothing would stop her, from killing everything, that she could overpower,.. Complete and utter fruitcake,...I tried my best,...but,..we had to part company,...permanently...
  15. Dusty,. had six good strong pups,...I have gifted five of them to friends, and I'lll keep a wee bitch for my own use. All the best, Phil.
  16. They are both first cross..Oz Heeler/Greyhounds... All the best, Phil.
  17. Missing it already,...roll on the Autumn....
  18. Real nice selection of rabbiting dogs on this thread...
  19. Feck knows what it will cost to keep those cruel vermin alive in prison for three decades...? Plenty enough vonga, to help build a small hospital, or a much needed hospice I should imagine... Far, far more civilised, to simply put a bullet in the back of their feckwit heads,...
  20. Over the last 50 years, I've killed a lot of game,..perhaps, too much... However,..bushing rabbits, etc,..has always been at the top of my list,...I rate it highly.... Superb vids,...realy enjoyed them... All the best, Phil.
  21. Seen both these dogs,..genuine , honest workers,...ideal pals for a rabbiter/moucher...
  22. Make her your friend,..and you be hers...
