  1. this is why we need to educate our own community. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/349054-watch-out/
  2. what does this mean money to be paid to join the c/a or will there just be membership fees for this lurcher club ? Why are you concerned? You said you aren't going to join. All you have done is be negative, so why don't you leave this thread to those who want to work toward defending our sport. There is no point in raking over ashes and 'we should ahve done this' etc, because none of us have done anything for ten years, so we've all ourselves to blame. Onward and upwards. Membership etc will be sorted by an elected committee when we have things in place for a committee to take over.
  3. we're currently working on a website and are exploring an opportunity thats popped up. We are working as quick as we can around work and home committments. We'll keep everyone informed as we know more.Thanks
  4. if lurcher work is banned they will not give it a thought , just apply the full power of what ever law they have introduced, fairly or not, to those who are proven to have broken it. Its up to all of us to make sure no laws like that are passed
  5. We have already met with the CA and will be working with them
  6. Thanks. there'll be an opportunity for everyone to get involved. At the minute we're making steady progress and doing as much as possible around our work and home committments
  7. going forward there will be true representation for the modern lurcher and the lads who own them. We all have 2 choices. 1) get behind what people are doing ( not for themselves but for everyone) 2) sit back and criticise , watch your freedoms and liberties get eroded away and fall foul of every crap law introduced. Talking of crap laws, Bit off topic but how is Scotand looking forward to the changes to airgun laws Davey ? http://basc.org.uk/basc-scotland/airguns-in-scotland/airgun-licensing-in-scotland-frequently-asked-questions/ next thing will be all lurcher owners to w
  8. used to live in yorkshire, worked for me fine there too.
  9. if i had any worries over the dogs being nicked they'd be in the house end of. then again if anyone nicked mine they'd bring him back anyway.
  10. should you breed ? no but you should have a read of this http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/80834-dog-dealerspeddlers-read/
  11. This is my cb2 in comparison to my clulite plr500. The plr500 is cordless and has an internal battery. My cb2 is run from a lithium pack that barely weighs anything. The lamps feel roughly the same weight. the plr500 is bigger and more unwieldy to handle and the button makes for shakier handling for some reason. They have about the same distance though the quality of the image lit up by the LED plr500 is poorer than the cb2. The white light is not as friendly as the warmer light of the halogen. I will use both but mostly the cb2.
  12. its a decent lamp. i have the same with a lithium battery. keep the vents at the back open a tad. you'll not go far wrong with that. better than waving a lamp the size of a satellite dish around
  13. Mine lives in or out at night. If i'm home during the day he's out with me.
  14. I think two of the steering group members are from down your neck of the woods ,if you would offer to set up a meet up in a pub etc with your friends associates and any other interested parties in your locality they would come and answer any questions and talk through the aims and objectives of LAGBI. As would other members in the different localities around the country this is a national group even international to include Eire also so any local events meet ups etc should be arranged if possible even with existing groups and clubs who are interested, spreading the word is thew ay to grow and
  15. I think that's the latest tyre they do ... my mate is running kingpin technic tracker mud MT2 Tyres very similar tread to the bfg's and half the price ... he has had them on 8 months and so far and they are wearing well .......... I ran kingpins before and they quickly perished and cracked between the treads in cold weather. I wouldn't use em again
  16. cluson sell lithium batteries with either jack plug or fag lighter connections. You specify what you want.
  17. cracking haul. Must be great to be able to put that much quarry in front of your dogs
  18. mine gives it his all on every run. full of heart . He's a good dog to have around at home and a right character. He's got his failings and that's mainly down to me as an owner but he does all I ask of him in spades. It's horses for courses. One man's meat is another man's poison
  19. not go far wrong with a cluson lazerlite and a lithium battery
  20. As far as the best mud tyres i'd go with bfg km2. There's a price to pay with having mud tyres on road in terms of fuel economy, road noise and general handing though driven with respect they're safe enough. You have to figure out exactly what sort of off road work you do and how much of it to decide whether all terrains are a good compromise. Some mud tyres handle very poorly on tarmac especially in the wet and some brands aren't all that good off road either. what vehicle are you considering putting em on ? Personally i run all terrains now and have done for a couple of years. Never
  21. i ran my dog week in week out with my mate and his hancock bitch but she was a cracker . the hancock's have just adapted to the market. The folk who want working dogs from them must pale into insignificance compared to pet/ agility owners. the fact that they're still breeding must tell us that. Time to move on.
  22. I have a lazerlite and never had any bother ever with it. I bought the plr500 to try it. The beam on the LED is good. The "colour" of the light is what takes some getting used to though eye shine is spot on. The plr500 is if anything a bit more unwieldy than the lazerlte. I'll keep and use both as i see fit its yet to be seen how the plr500 will last over time. the lazerlite has proven itself over the years and all spares are available.
  23. he's a year older now and in much better nick. he aint half a plonker though
  24. I come into contact with a lot of farmers and the general thought is that we'll be in for a hard winter. one old boy i was talking to on saturday reckons he's not seen as many berries and nuts around for a long time and its nature's way of preparing for a cold winter.
