  1. Unfortunately my friend when you own dogs that carry such a stature the enviable will happen I my self have own a few dogs that have no breaks 1 dog I had not long back was near enough full hound this bitch met her fate 1 night running a bunny down the beam towards my vehicle unfortunately she hit the side of the car full tilt died a few hours after shame but it is the nature of the beast, my friend had a very good beddy grey bitch that was like lightning very hand bitch indeed 1 night she was let out the motor for an empty out before the night had started she spotted a bunny heading towards a fence line lamp was put on the bunny headed for a gap on the rabbit wire as the bitch got in close for a strike the bunny was near enough through and unfortunately her head had on the wire causing her to tumble over she broke her neck instantly. Many people have lost dogs in the field its not nice but it is what it is you can't wrap them up in cotton wool

    Scouting ahead is a great idea but for one reason and another not all ways possible

    remember back in the day lamping with couple mates huge flat field looked perfectly harmless. Me and one guy lamped one side and other fella went up the other.

    My dog took off after a rabbit which decided to head across this field. Out the beam it went. Thought nothing of it and he took an age to return which was odd. Eventually got back. Let him get his wind and off we went. Met me mate from other side he said he your dog ok he took hell of a tumble there’s big ditch across centre of this field. 

    Check dog over seemed fine. Slipped him on next rabbit and he didn’t move. Looked down and he had started fitting. Carried him back to van and home. Laid on me bed and vet straight out. Gone by morning. He was lovely dog hit me hard that one

    Yep, by its very nature, Lamping can be dangerous,...nothing much can prevent accidents...

    I was once advised by an expert,...to always reconnoitre the running grounds during the daylight hours , prior to venturing out,...just to accertain if there were any obsticals or bits and pieces, that might cause an after -dark collision....🙄

    Sounded a great sound-bite,...alas  the naive fool had scant idea of the night hunting game😃

    To him it was an exciting game, a mere folly,...something to romantisise and write about,....whereas for others, it was a wee bit more serious..😉

    Today Amber decided lets cause some mischief. Grounds solid so the big dogs are on the lead. She's 6 half months an full of energy, with the dogs on the lead she decided just to do some laps on her own lol. Me and the wife where walking along the usual tracks and decided to mix it up and walk alittle further to where u can see some fields facing the mway.  With the snow on the ground it was just nice to be out.

    As we got round  the path , we could see 3 roe lazing against a fence.  As they stood the pup thought this is new and took off. Its funny at a young age she picked one as they split and continued to give chase right past 2 walkers who realised she was a pup and had a bit of a giggle . The roe took a barb fence followed by the pup before geting shown a clean set of hoofs. She jumped back over and  came back with a waggle and a smile . She's now grounded to the lead till we make sure the coast is clear. Think she may be trouble.

    Was forced into it from a very young age started off following beagles at primary school age but I kep on getting good hidings for fecking about ,the old man inviting all and sundry 2 clip.us a fecker I preferd going out wi his terrier and little lurcher as he didn't fill me in as much on them days ,so settled on a life of penury from then on 

    Did you wear shoes

  7. My old man was into the running terriers etc so I more or less grew up listening to the stories he used to tell me as a grass hoper and finding rabbits hung up in my dad's shed after his nights out my grandad and my nans family were all poachers and running dog men so I just fell in line with my heritage but my brothers were never really interested like I was I was hooked before I'd even had my 1st proper outing and have been ever since even wagging school just to go and have a mooch with the dogs and ferrets funny times if it wasn't dogs I was mooching with I was in my pigeon pen another pastime handed down from my dad wouldn't change any of it for the world
