you might be right , but the way i see it, if the old dogs in question have deff give 100% in the hunting field all there life , i think it only fair to the animal to show some compassion to it . dont get me wrong if you had fecker dont hunt for and only him self, picks his runs, or wont do a fox, or bigger stuff, etc. i wouldn't keep it . so if they been hard working dog for 8- 9 years i look after them. it very rare that you have kennel full of all similar ability , thats why there lot in pounds etc .My last 2 dogs bryn who was very good rabbit dog, but nothing else . i wanted dog do the things bryn wouldn't , and old Buck deff ticked the boxes for me. funny thing a mate from brum popped over to see me , since ive lost my wife , he never seen Buck at his best say 2- 6 year old . but he said to me you could see he been great lamp the way moving about now, if seen something scented somthing like today. he had lurcher x lurcher pit x deerhound grey bitch, he got a buzz watch her moving he come to life then lol, we had great 1 1 /2 hour , it done me good as well , another great mate for me. he not on any hunting site , we met 40 years ago whippet racing in the black country , he even said maybe we might go back to them once our old lurchers have gone , maybe ?? but old Buck ok for couple more years the way went after a munjack today
I'm sorry for your loss Bird. It's the hardest thing in life.
I do remember your posts and your pics of Bryn. One in particular where he was jumping a gate with a pheasant. I also remember when you got Buck. I'm glad he's done well by you.

Here is my old fellow. Closing in on 13 years and still runs a little when the mood strikes. Couldn't care less about rabbits though.

Here's a little film of White Tail Bucks chasing does during the early part of their rut. Very exciting time to be in the forest.

Russia don’t kill states, states kill themselves trying to kill Russia imho……what Russia has that no other country has (Save possibly China ?) is the ability to absorb.
Armies will break on the rock that is the vastness of Russia as has been proven time and time again.
In WW2 Russias losses were gargantuan but that coupled with the weather and just the sheer logistics of moving supplies across a country so massive broke the German Army, at that time arguably the most advanced and best army in the world.
Same with Napoleon and same with anyone else that ever tried to attack Russia.
There are places in Russia so remote that even Russia can’t get to them in any sort of way that makes sense cost and time wise.
Russia may not be going forward but you’ll die trying to push them backwards.
Its like punching a mattress, you’ll die of exhaustion before you do any terminal damage to it.

True, but with demographics like this:
Russia has defeated itself, hasn't it?

Neither Ukraine or Israel are NATO members. Israel only cooperates with NATO in the areas of technology and counterterrorism. Russia is not rebuilding its Empire its simple try to bolster its border security, letting Ukraine join the EU and subsequently NATO would be a threat to Russian security,
Well, the Russian empire and the former Soviet Union were formed to provide that physical security. So, we are in agreement. Obviously Ukraine has made overtures to Join NATO. As has most European nations that border Russia. Without membership their sovereignty is in peril.

Hamas is an ideology, That ideology grows in the west bank each time more Palestinian's are killed in Gazza. Hence the demonstrations, The Palestinians authority control in the west bank is weakened as more and are killed in Gazza, Its not a simple as you believe, as for funding and cheering Ukraine, We should have never got involved, It has and still doesn't have anything to do with the UK The European Union or NATO.
Paulus, I mentioned Ukraine to be ironic. The coincidence of Russia trying to reclaim land they need to be geologically secure and Israels seizing of The West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights. Israel can no more surrender these lands than Russia can give up their quest to rebuild the empire. It's our business and subsequently the UK's, to protect our fellow NATO members. Did NATO pick this fight? You could say so I guess. But NATO believes countries have the right to form alliances.

How do Palestinian's get there own state when Hamas who runs Palestine have vowed to kill all Jews in Israel?.
Paulus, Hamas actually runs Gaza only. Not the West Bank or Golan Heights. As long as Iran stays out of it. Hamas, and the Israeli Government should both be over pretty soon. Then we can all go back to funding and cheering Ukraine. Yeah!

Hounds like that tend to have short careers. lol
I went bobcat hunting with hounds last year. Plott Hounds, and Treeing Walkers. They caught one on the ground and did most of the work. I stepped on its chest to finish the job.
-15 degrees Celsius that day.
