    I have shot the very occasional hare in the past and if i cant get hold of one then i will possibly shoot one during the season just for the meat. But i havnt had to do this in a few years now. So i voted no, i guess you could say i do shoot hares but thats what i feel is the most honest answer. If the case for shooting hares for pest control arose i wouldnt be against it however its not something i would take much pleasure in. And im yet to be put in a situation where the hare numbers really justify being culled.

    your male would put 25%saluki25%grey in to the pot your bitches sire put in(3/8)37.5%saluki(1/8)12.5%grey your bitches dam was a bitza so perhaps unknown%? So at best your pups will be just ever so slightly(52%) saluki, 48% bitza with at least 18% grey+what ever %grey was in the bitza,this would increase the saluki % if there was any in the bitza, but on paper not overly saturated with saluki IMHO Y.I.S Leeview The pups will be 7/16 saluki, 1/4 bitza, 5/16 grey. It all gets a bit fecking confusing and obviously depends on how the bitza was bred. As far as im concerned all

    Give yoursely a shake. No true sportsman is against the lurcher game - only hypocrites and misinformed twats. Dont take the opinion that everyone is against you when it simply isnt true. FTB Not saying they all are, not even the majority. But enough to make a difference, just look at the anti lurcher media in shooting magazines (however there are pro as well, sporting shooter being one). Talk to enough shooting men and you will see many only know of one type of coursing man....... the illegal kind. Just go to the deer stalking section of this site a count the times deer coursing is ref

    MOST COUNTREY MINDED FOLK GO TO SHOWS WHY CARNT BASC AND LIKE HAVE PERTITIONS WHAT WE CAN SIGN AND THEN PASS THEM ON TO MPS IN THAT AREA BASC dont give a shite and neither do any of the others (infact i think its fair to say most shooting organisations do quite alot to put a bad name to the lurcher), all the CA care about is mounted packs so where does average joe stand with his lurchers and earth dogs?? In the fecking gutter where labour chucked us and other sportsmen sacrificed us! Not so long ago there was an e-pettition to repeal the ban which was among the top 5 largest for a v

    Its a very sad thought but its looking more and more like dog work as we knew it is consigned to the history books.

    Thanks, cant wait untill next season. She a very independant little fecker and given too much freedom shes off 'freelancing'! Im hoping with proper work she will learn to work with me and not on her own, but when theres no game about AT ALL, shes great. Training is coming on well with all the usual stuff and shes 90% stockbrocken but ive not had her off the lead around stock just on a 20 meter line and she understands stock is completely off the menu, however poultry is a sore point, but i can live with that.

    Did you get the pup from notts off of slickdicko? If you did and it is the littermate of my bitch, was it the fawn merle pup? looks great anyway

    A few more pics as promised from today; "Feck the dummy, ive seen a rabbit!"

    Fair enough pal, just seeing it from different angles i suppose. Me personally i dont see a deer any different to a fox, rabbit, hare or rat. If the population requires managing then it should be done with equal respect no matter what the species. But thats just my opinion, i know alot of you stalkers respect the deer more than anything, not a bad thing i suppose.

    Im not a stalker so i dont have the same attitude that most the stalking community do, however hunting ethics are somthing i do think about ALOT. What i am saying is you are all going on about the distance, well where do you draw the line, 100.....200.....300????? Simple and only answer is you draw the line with the distance you are capable of acheiving 100% accuracy within reason (obviously occasionally there will be a mistake even at 20 yards). If this lad feels hes capable of achieving this at 400 yards or whatever, just as you lot feel your capable at say 200 yards, who are we to say hes w

    Good shooting, only you know how good a shot you are so non of us can criticise you. Plenty of people who are calling you for 'bad practise' would shoot a fox a 300+ if they felt confident so why not a deer? But thats alright because foxes are 'vermin'... Im sure it makes f**k all difference to the beast what range you kill him at as long as you are confindent in your ability. Regardless of the distance, you killed it humanely after a good bit of thought so well done.

    In ferreting theyre called poke nets and because you have either end pegged it pursses alot faster

    Usual anti propaganda but its the lads that got caught dogging billys on the lamp that doesnt do us any favours

    Thanks pal, her sire was a half cross wheaton x grey and her dam was a light and racey half cross collie x grey. Got a bit more to do with her untill i feel shes ready for proper work but thats what the next 4 months are for.

    Nice day today so i thought i would get a few pics of my pup. Stole my dads camera and managed 3 poxy pics till the battery went dead! Shes 10 months old and about 24" tts. They arent up to much compared to some 'snappers' skills on here but ill get some more up soon hopefully.

    yeh but unlike a Lab, an Akita is most probably a killer . I've yet yo meet a stranger friendly one. You can f**k off with your anti akita attitude! Narrow minded to think a certain dog breed is inherently a 'killer'. Deed not breed! "Feck off" is a bit strong, do you like a row? I said "most probably" and "yet to met" and you admited yourself it was "going trough the same thing" growling at people etc. In fact the only Akita's that I have met and that is five have been complete gaurds and a nightmare with dogs, so my narrow mindness is through experience with five completely d

    True, however many do seem to put deer up on a pedastal. Yes they are a beautifull quarry but that doesnt mean other quarry species should be treated any less respectfully.

    My point exactly

    Im trying to eliminate that doubt, but thats sound advice.

    Im fully aware of the laws regarding carrying a knife, but they are unclear as to keeping a knife in your vehicle. So unless you know of a specific law stating that it is illegal to keep a knife in the boot of a vehicle do you really think the question was so daft? Likewise with the carts, owning cartridges is not the same as owning a shotgun, you do not need a licence to own a shotgun cartridge i beleive, only to buy them from a dealer. So im sure you can understand my confusion with regards the cartridges as well.
