  1. Depression

    in General Talk

    Posted

    Depression is a C**t of a thing ....and that is the truth...?

    It is a terrible thing, that controls and ruins your life, and always leaves a man thinking, of what he might have achieved if only things had been different...?

  2. Question .........

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted

    These sites were originally created, as a meeting place, for like-minded enthusiasts,....I think that somewhere along the line, many of us fecked up...?

    I am genuinely pleased, to read about another man's success and equally interested, to see pictures and images of a fellow enthusiast's jukels.

    As for myself, being retired from the hunting game doesn't mean that a man, no longer has the passion,...things are just put on the back burner, for a while...

    Keep on posting lads...:good:

    Hi Phil, tried to message you but think your inbox is full. Is that new book available to pre-order yet please and is the one before available still in print etc...I'd like to order both if possible.

    Thanks

    Hi Gaza,..many thanks for the message...?

    The latest book, A Moucher Forever...is at the Printers and will be available, Mid-November.

    As such, it is just a few stories and personal opinions put down in text, alongside a photo, here and there...

    It is no big deal, and hardly an epic,...just something I needed to do.....:good:

    Whippets are grand wee jukels,...:clapper:

    When I moved down South from the Welsh borders,...it seemed as though everyone I saw, out and about,.had a brace of whippets.

    I started keeping them myself in the late 1970s and until my circumstances (and quarry) changed during the 80s, I had great fun with them.

    Ideal dogs for a casual moucher,...rabbits and pheasants,....better watch out...:good:

    It is still early days yet, all the spaniels and other types are, as you say, like coiled springs...?

    As for retrieving, perfectly to hand,...this is a difficult attribute to maintain with running dogs,..more so if you work them really hard. 

    I always strive for a steady retrieve, but invariably, as the years go on and the work-load increases,..most dogs get sloppy.

     It doesn't matter to me,..it used to, but I have mellowed a tad,...life really is too short to ruin what is left, in that obsessional search for perfection...?

    You boys are right...:good:

    Once you have had the dogs on a warren for bolters, or maybe flushing gear to the gun, it is difficult to, calm things back down,..and get them steady them again...

    I quite enjoy picking-up on the various local shoots,...now I am retired,.. it makes for a good day out:clapper:

    Hate to see the results of a hare shoot...

    I drove past a team of guns the other year,..they had the hares laid out in a line for an 'end of the day' shot.

    Reckon they would have needed a camera, with an exceptionally wide-angle lens...?

    I seemed to be cruising past the row of orange fur, for ages...

    Been asked to shoot on plenty of hare drives, but I would not enjoy it...?

    Mind you,..I do find it interesting to slyly net them,...double standards I suppose...?
