  1. Poach & Stabba too!! Ha, ha.. I nearly phoned you up the other day mate, was going to try and get down to the reds match on Thursday but it fell through
  2. Another one today to have a look at. http://photographyvoice.com/potd/ For 7/8/2010
  3. The best alround dogs are owned by the best alround hunters, and not many of these around now. Too many one for the pot men and part timers
  4. Some may have stamina,but not enough for what I wanted in a lurcher..they do look good though dont they, I just love these dogs..
  5. This post has stumped a lot of them mate I can just feel the heat from Google being overworked as their little fingers search the internet,
  6. Some good images there..the first one with the dogs against the sky could have been a tricky one, but the whites on the dog arnt blown out, and you still have a bit detail in the sky, the last one of the stream with the mountains, set it up on a tripod next time, say at approx f11-f22, try it at different long exposures of between 1 second and a couple of minutes and watch the effect on the water, its got the makings of a lovely picture as it is though..
  7. Yip your quite right, thanks for pointing out the error, Brian Plummer advised me one to only write what is factually correct, looks like I slipped up a tad there..
  8. Im sure there were 8 sub species, but not there are only 4, this is what the guide said at the zoo, with only approx 4000 tigers in the wild
  9. My lurchers were fairly small, extemely strong but not whippety, every pup Ive bred and reared was entered by 6 months, and by a year old their target would be a hundred rabbits, some achieved this, some didnt..my pure bred deerhound (bitches) would have all tasted the lamp around 9-10 months, all were killing by a year old (on the lamp or ferreting)
  10. Cheers Hannah..dont get too close mind,
  11. Yes Kay, theres just something about them isnt there?
  12. This is a (Somalian)correction a Sumatran Tiger I managed to capture at the zoo, hope you like it.. And a jaguar..One taken through glass, the other through mesh
  13. As soon as I saw the picture I knew it was a Canon, there are plenty people on here with the to help you with the settings mate...
  14. I had a bitch had a toe off when she was 8 years old, and at that age cell pack volume etc means it will always take longer to heal than it would on a younger animal..it made no difference what so ever to her ability, in fact she caught rabbits in one night after the even, it took no longer to heal than a jumped toe and she was grafted into double figures of years. Her daughter (not owned by me) also grafted till she was 12-13, she had a front toe and a rear toe off, and there was very little noticeable difference in her ability, and she still holds the record of rabbits caught in one night
  15. I have a few years back. All the game and vermin you need out in the "wilder" areas. Gods country for hunters. I showed a couple of lads the lamp before it took off up there and they made some BIG catches. A lot more pressure up there now though i expect. You, showed lads the lamp before it took off up there, it must have been a long time ago mate..
  16. I have only ever put pictures up on these sites that were scanned off photographs that were taken before legislation came in about hunting with dogs, people putting fresh images or recent digital images with the exif data intact, then adding a disclaimer of pre ban, have their heads up their own backsides, I hunted from 1965 to 2003 in one way or another with one poaching conviction to my name, mainly becuase I went about my business undetected..if I was hunting illegally now, certainly nobody on the internet would be finding out about it thats for sure..take heed lads from an old timer, watch
  17. I would go for Canon mate, there is quite a price difference too on a lot of the lenses, Canon lenses sometimes being twice the price of the Sigma, but not twice as good
