    Just to clear this up before we digress I've never said anything against killing foxes with Lurchers (forgive me if I don't use the word 'foxing' but I find that word a bit to Warreneresque) I've done it myself when necessary in the past and I've even got a half decent single handed (retired) bitch here so I have absolutely no problem with that at all............... Sent a PM on this as I didn't want to drag the thread away. Warrener esque..... had to google that one, lol. I bought one of his videos a long time ago, never another!............ I've always just said, rabbiting, ratting, foxi

    Leveller I think your comment about the ethics of foxing with lurchers rubbed a few up the wrong way. I must admit I don't agree with what you said specifically on the topic of foxing with lurchers but I accept your point. Specifically on this topic; I'm not sure hunting is meant to be fair or unfair, define it? A true hunter knows when he has cheated his quarry in his heart, it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth and it's not something you want to talk about afterwards.

    Does anybody know if there is anywhere that makes tailored/slim fit country shirts? I've a pretty slim build and cheap country shirts hang off of me! I don't want to buy top end shirts just to get them covered in blood and shit but can't stand to where standard fit ones anymore.

    Whether it's the right way or not, I've always taken physical control imediately by scruffing both dogs and then choke off the attacking dog. If you can't use your hands use a lead or a belt or whatever. Just choke the hell out of it and it will let go. My main concern is stopping the ragging so to minimise damage. Probably better ways. You can't be expected to carry a break stick especially if you're not experienced in the use of one.

    Once ya accept ya dogs are shite, life becomes so much less stressfull! No internet arguments, because everyone else has better dogs. Ya don't have to impress NET-HUNTERZ-XXX. No one want's to nick the wonder dogs they hear about in the pub. No pikeys wanting to match ya. Just you, ya mutts, a few mates and a lot of hours in the field......

    Hedz, just use that grey matter between ya tabs. There have been a number of perfectly legit threads on deer and fox etc that were fine and very interesting (a lot you gave good input with) that were all good untill a few ego's let their mouths run a bit too far. legit threads they all end up fecking stupid and deleted not because of picture's but because of lad's argueing Exactly, lads that want to prove how big their cock is because someone on the internet said theirs is bigger. So they throw all caution to the wind and just come out with all the illegal shit every other member had

    There's not a simple quick fix to this problem. The mods have a hard job dealing with this tool magnet forum, there just isn't a simple hard and fast rule to sort it out! As soon as you say anybody can post pics of hunting trips abroad you will get everybody blagging it as the next 'pre ban' or 'shot and retrieved' when they want to brag about there dogs. FFS if your going to brake the law in your own country try to be a bit imaginative with your made up story. Each potentially illegal post with whatever get out clause has to be judged by the folks in charge and if it seems a bit suss

    None of it is 100% waterproof and given a seasons graft isn't even showerproof. The Ram trousers are very warm and wind proof but complete overkill for anything other than Winter.

    Best way to hunt. Terriers have so much more to offer than simply earth work. Excellent work, hope to be out doing the same this sunday.

    No worries fella. I know exactly what ya mean.

    Christ, Chalkys post didn't last long. That must be a record even for him with the old 'auto delete'. Personally i thought it was a good bit of common sense say it as ya see it input.

    That's what I suspected. No one will bat an eyelid to someone fumbling around durring the day, probably assumed to be just workmen or a window cleaner etc. At night though it would be assumed they are up to no good. Plus at night people are in the house where as during the day they are usually at work. I wonder how many people with relatively secure yards (6ft solid fence/wall, heavy duty locks and fittings etc) and possibly even cameras still suffer from thefts.

    For those of you that have had dogs stolen or attempted thefts, what time of day were the thefts made? Was it while you were at work or at night? I really do think some sort of national survey should be done to help determine trends and where theft hotspots are etc and what security measures were in place. It'll help people know what to do to help prevent dog thefts.

    You're gonna get something about bacterial build up and placebo effects Pennys. I'm not really sure a raw diet significantly improves a working dogs performance as I haven't the time to satisfactorily test this, comparing my bitch to my mates (complete fed) is hardly a fair comparison as breeding and fitness are two relatively huge variables. Not to mention that just a few dogs in any experiment is no where near enough for a qualitative result. I'm also willing to accept that dog's over the 10'000 years or so they have been at our sides have 'adapted' to diggest processed human foods s

    Good old Boris saying it how it is; London Mayor Boris Johnson said he had a "deafening indifference" to the publication of the naked photos. "I think it'd be disgraceful if a chap wasn't allowed to have a bit of fun in Las Vegas anyway," he told BBC London 94.9 radio. "The real scandal would be if you went all the way to Las Vegas and you didn't misbehave in some trivial way."

    I don't drink and never have. Not for any particular reason other than I hate the stuff and so never really became a 'drinker'. I used to hate having to explain to people I don't drink, makes it awkward sometimes when asked for a night out but ya know it's gonna be a drinking night out and the person asking doesn't realise ya don't drink and I feel a right boring b*****d. I genuinely believe not drinking at all holds ya back a bit and kinda wish I did, but feck it I am what I am. Doubt I could afford it now anyway, or it would get messy very quickly!

    That's a cracking looking lurcher. Did you buy it specifically as a collie cross? The collie alsation isn't an uncommon cross, could have been along them line but thrown heavily to the alsation. Just speculation. Nice lurcher.

    Seriously Richard, it's a shame you never went out with a decent fell pack before the ban. You would have been witness to a seriously great hunting spectacle. I'm not a hound man, but if you love true hunting, it's a special as digging 6ft to a terrier holding fast with a particularly fiery oponent or watching a lurcher putting the pressure on a January roe in the day. Watching the pack fly in full cry through the fells, nothing quite like it....

    You've never been hunting have ya fella? The shite you have just come out with is as bad as a fecking anti. Try learning a bit about it rather than basing your opinion on some conjured up dream.

    In my opinion pretending that we hunt for anything other than sport makes our argument look desperate and like we are ashamed of the fact we hunt because we enjoy it. When the ban was looming we heard it all too often how fox hunts are needed for fox control blah blah and then it was blown out of the water when revealed how much effort goes into supporting a large fox population. The argument was flawed and the public saw that. We need to be absolutely honest about what we do, not hide the shadey stuff and try to pretend we hunt out of the kindness of our hearts for the farmers. JMO

    He wants a pet for his grandad..................... So a gamebred bull is advised!

    I mentioned this in the minshaw thread, my bitch does exactly the same. If the cattle get too close for comfort she snaps at their faces, darting in and out the herd. Gets a bit worked up over it but I can call her off. I wouldn't say she can work cattle but she's not affraid to stand her ground and mix it with em when things get a bit heated. As long as they stay away she is happy to mind her own business but if they don't they will be driven off pretty fast. It's all bullocks round our way and they are nosey boistrous buggers. Great picks molly, It's really nice to have a dog like that.

    That's fair enough, it's a different culture over here by the sound of it. There are lurcher/terrier men in or around every town, city and a lot of villages. Most are only walking distance from another dog man. I bet every single person on this site knows of another lurcher/terrier man within 10 miles of his kennels. That's not to say there are a lot of us, just that Britain is a relatively small place, lol. And out of all those there are a lot of thieving cheating wankers. There's plenty with 'no fixed abode' as well.
