  1. Smokey, the blue dog is Grey /whippet/collie x beddie /whippet. Ted, the black speed merchant is a Whippet x beddie.
  2. The only method I know is rather final.
  3. A very good percentage,and both dogs home sound , you should be happy
  4. Sounds good to me, allways a pleasure to be in your company .
  5. You are absolutely right ! I remember it now.Take care old mate ,and good hunting!
  6. SEE IF I HAD A DOG THAT WAS ALL OVER A HARE AT THAT AGE/ THERES NO MONEY THAT WOULD PART ME FROM IT. I wouldn't be running a 6 month old pup on jacks ,but each to their own. not sure if we crossed wires here. she wasnt ran at 6 month when she was here, this was all on video shown to us...i wouldnt run a pip that age, and as it is now id love to have that molly in my kennel right now. I believe the post said Minshaw was running the dog at that age.I don't know him ,and as said,each to their own
  7. never seen a bull cross that could catch a good winter daytime hare,and if it did by some misfortune;the hare running into something:it would be eaten before you could get to it,but all the butch tyro hunters will all be off to the fens now you've told them where they are,bull crosses are not running dogs,they're fighting dogs Yeah, because it was a secret that there are lots of hares on the fens and now this guy's let the cat out of the bag. Lots of Police dog vans ,and helicopters too.
  8. Magwitch and I are in the South East ,and,whilst we are not getting the numbers we did last season ,we still manage reasonable bags.[see the ferreting section].
  9. hi pal can understand your frustration and every body elses coments about vets but it is costly ive been racing greyhounds for the last 3 years and ive had some unreal injuries and some unreal vet bills now 1 thing i no they are thin skinned but heal really well untill you can afford to get it to a vet go to chemist ask for potassium permanganate say its for your feet has it has been used for making bombs and some chemists are a bit suspicious now mix a t spoon with water this will clean wound and stop infection get your self some amoxacilin caps and give 2 a day for 7 days clean the wound wit
  10. I know you Boyo .And I would vouch for you.100% dog man . Committed to the game ,in the fields and on the marches defending your sport. If everyone was as into the game as you are .,and, as prepared to fight for it as you have been, they might have thought twice about a ban.Yes,I know you and you have my unreserved respect.

  12. Good stuff HP ,make sure you dilute it to 50%,and only use once as more than that inhibits healing.
  13. Was it single handed , or doubled up?
  14. What I find most distasteful is not catching does in kindle but those that are nursing youngsters.
  15. [ Both sides of the coin. Magwitch and I try to leave a balance ,enough rabbits culled to keep the farmer happy,with a nucleus to breed up for next year,but then we are not being paid for our efforts.Places on farms where last season we took 40/50's now yield 10/ 20. If we did it for a living no doubt we would have to be more ruthless. I came down hard on Luke because I have read some of his posts in the ferreting section,he comes across as a know all, smart mouth to me.Telling a lad he must have bad dogs because they were for sale,[the lad had a marriage break up],and was reluctan
  16. Magwitch and I stop ferreting but have occasional forays out with the rifle and 4x4,to control rabbits in the orchards keeping the farmer sweet. Not enjoyable but necessary. There are those who run dogs all year round and say "Just giving the pups a run to build up their confidence ",etc. The same people ran through the foot and mouth ban , observe no close season,give no law ,and usually are running dogs out of the back of a van,being considerate and not disturbing the farmer by telling him they are coming. some speech . . . Not a speech an observation. I take it you disagre

  18. Sorry to hear that ,that's the downside of having loyal faithful workers,they are so achingly missed when they leave us ,especially at so untimely an age,a hunting companion gone from our lives .Chin up ,I've have been there ,and know how you feel. Stroller said it all.
  19. No thanks needed ,just telling the truth . I was out with my rabbiting partner Magwitch today,the black and tan dog in his post. "Out Dogging" ,is my fella ,no world beater ,but he suits me. We only caught 10 ,but as you say,you can only catch what's there. Magwitch's little whippet/ beddie invariably beats him to the punch ,but thats what he's bred for. Ninety percent of those who slag people who put pics up of their dogs never post anything themselves, they get their kicks from putting others down.Not worth responding to them Chipper. ATB Inan.
  20. An honest opinion ,from an honest guy.
  21. Good stuff Kay .Old boys like me are allways up for a shot of a classy bird!
  22. Wasn't being sarcastic ,trying to be helpful,I don't recognise the name of the guy myself.
  23. interesting quote] And the meat is prefectly ok to eat, although its not the best time to be stocking up your freezers as most rabbits are in poor condition due the rescent weeks of bad weather yis smoggy The rabbits Magwitch and I have been taking are invariably in fine shape ,with big deposits of fat around the kidneys, a lot of them are caught around orchards,,where they eat apples and tree bark,they seem to thrive on this fare.
