Those aren't the ones with the brass barrel, they have a trigger on the side don't they?

It's called the Altcar slip lead ,I've an old double one and a newer single one . too fiddly for me.I use a flat lead with the toggle cut off, looped through a collar the loop kept on the wrist

Never seen a dog that could take a Globely single handed , I doubt that it can be done.

Myth and Fable were the two I've heard most about.

I was referring to the Uk,I'll amend my post.

well said, anyone can apply and get a shotgun and without any training go out and shoot wild animals, wound maim, not right with a dog its dead or gets away ,and I used to shoot, its makes my blood boil ,its about the chase not the kill for me atb BB you cant just get a shotgun....... you have to complete a compulsary competance course before you can get a firearm certificate. You don't have to complete a course of any sort to own either a shot gun, or a firearm , in the UK, neither do you need a firearms licence for a shotgun ,a shotgun licence is all that is required.

The Police have been very clever getting Joe Public to do their work for them''[if you see anyone with a greyhound type of dog ring us",] [" dont approach them ,many of them are dangerous violent criminals and drug pushers,"]. All the time they can portray coursers as such they will keep the public's support,and lets not forget the intiative for Galilieo came as a response from landowners pig sick of poachers all over their fields ,trashing crops ,threatening them and in some isolated instances causing them physical injury .The NFU decided enough was enough. I would no

Do you have an alternative to suggest? It saddens me to say no I don't You have spoke a lot of sense on this topic but I cannot put any faith in the CA Well we work with what we've got .

I agree ,I wasn't judging, just stating facts as i see them. My running pal has just lost his best land after 20 years of days out, because of poaching and local news articles about it.
-
I'm not criticising those who pinch a run , I was just puzzled if you have dough to throw around, why not approach a farmer? I lost some ground when the ban came in myself. Its not only the ban that has put the tin-lid on things though. It has to be said that some have lost permission because of those poaching on their land, and the subsequent publicity the plod and the media give it. I expect that statement makes me an anti -courser to some. The usual rejoinder is havent you ever nicked a run? To which I reply,no I never do anything illegal, and if did I would not feel the need
-
I'll be out on Sat, as I was today and the day before, , but I will be on permission. It's not a matter of being able to afford it. As I said before, if you can afford to blow a few hundred quid in court ,why not pay the farmer? Seems logical to me , but perhaps I'm missing something?

Some tasty protein there.!

The headline on the BBC report was "Lurcher 'left paralysed by hare coursers' walks after specialist surgery". The report also makes statements like " A dog thought to have been left paralysed and abandoned by hare coursers, has walked out of a vet's surgery for a new home." and "It is thought the dog may have been kicked by hare coursers to disable her and hide their tracks". I can't see any evidence in the report that this has anything to do with hare coursing, so what gives? Is this just another example of lazy journalism or is there another agenda? Remember this crap is served up by a publ

The chance of your car and dog being taken,and more bad publicity for all of us. yeah f**k um. The chance of your car and dog being taken,and more bad publicity for all of us. yeah f**k um. If a few hundred quid represents just a week end on the piss [,and I can get bonced on £50 of real ale no trouble.] Why not offer it to a farmer for a day out and save all the grief?

Maybe the blame that not enough was done can be shared with those who couldn't be arsed to go on those demos and rallies? I support the C/A because as far as I'm concerned its the "only game in town". Lets be frank, the difference between the foxhunting followers and many of the coursing brigade is one word, it begins with P and ends with N. If you are doing something you shouldn't be, but are on permission and have the consent of the landowner and are seen to be "complying with the strictures of the Hunting Act," you have an excellent chance of finishing the day without u

There are all sorts in the C/A, doubled barelled names, and plenty of Joe Bloggs's ,its a requirement for being in our club, I think its £36 through the club , but they have deals on for first time joiners etc I feel it is wortht it for the insurance alone.I dont know about advice . but I'm sure you would be helped. We are lucky in that our Chairman is well spoken and articulate,so he comes over well when dealing with either the public or the Plod.
-
Why dont you join and find out? If you go to the Q&A make very sure you are fully briefed,otherwise your input could come across as detrimental rather than positive. Whatever you do keep your temper, and come across as reasonable and as open minded as you can. I watched Baroness Ann Mallalieu, the President of the C/A, being harangued by two anti interviewers once , she kept her voice low and measured and came over as intelligent, articulate ,and sensible which of course she is, they came across as hysterical fools. She is a QC so words are her business, but its about k

So we defend one fieldsport by attacking and comparing it to another.? That would immediately isolate us from the rest of those that hunt or shoot, good thinking. The public already think we are a bunch of yobs and poaching criminals as it is. I defend all field sports I dont go foxhunting ,have only been beagling twice ,don't do digging, dont shoot much any more, yet I have, and would again defend the right of those that do. I marched down the Mall next to gents in pinstripes who were shooting men ,we were surrounded by Welsh Hill Farmers and their gunpack boys, behind us were some

Who would have bought these documentaries? What finer advert for coursing could there be than the original Forley Cups? How many of the general public who did not have a long dog, or an interest in field sports bought a copy? I'm in a club, before the ban came in Sam Butler of the CA came to our AGM on a Sunday unpaid , and addressed the members , he was on the marches and reiterated a promise made by the C/A that they would not abandon any form of field sports. that promise still stands. I'm not an apologist for the C/A but who else is there? I repeat they are the "only game in

First of all in the 45years I've had lurchers I have never bragged about any that I've owned. Secondly I havent called anyone a low life or a non- permission man I' ve simply pointed out why some get hassle and some don' t. The owner of Megan was at my house last night and we have been out together many times.I'm sure he will appreciate being referred to as a" low life".I was out in Lincs with the man who was central to starting both those lines off, two weeks ago he likewise will be chuffed to bits to be referred to that way Now, if what i have said is untrue regarding the differ

You should experience the "Bullet" trains in Japan P there are frotteurists on there who would see you as the meat in their sandwich. I had an American girl friend when I was hitch-hiking in N Africa, she punched a local in the face when we were jammed like sardines on a bus, I looked at her in amazement till she explained he was," a goddamn masher"!

when the marches and demos were on i knew treble the amount of lurcher folk that didnt go on any or didnt put any input in to trying to stop the ban as i did ones that actually did anything to help says it all really .imo the main probleni is the general public as a rule beleive all the hype and bullshit that the police and press are spouting about coursing ie theiving gangs of hardened criminals going round the country betting obscene amounts of money on which dog can rip the hare apart first ,and while the general public are reading and beleiving all this crap we are to put it bluntly wel
