    I used to push my first lurcher to his limits running hare after hare with my mates saluki cross. It took his toll on his body when he got older. Thankfully im older now and abit wiser and would never push a dog to its utmost limit. Theres testing a dog then theres pushing them far too hard. ATB

    As said these crosses seemed to be popular for hares. but ive seen some proper mongrelly curs take hares both on the lamp and daytime. Its all about the land thats bieng run imo.

    I used to have a fellar who used to knit all my purse nets. This bloke was f*****g horrible to his old lurcher used to beat the poor fecker with a walking stick. Anyway he said he had a spare ferret for me so i went to his house and he invited me to get one out of a cage. I lifted the lid and there was a fecking horrid smell ..... Anyway because of his lack of feeding animals the ferrets were eating each other! The were skinny as f**k aswell. Needless to say i took my ferret and left and never returned. That is the ONLY time ive ever heard of ferrets eating each other and thats when there unde

    Traditionals are easier to carry in bullk but quicksets are alot easier to master. I wouldnt use a quickset for nightwork though much rather run my traditional out ..... Horses for courses really.

    out for a little walk earlier in some local fields. dog managed a good clean bunny and things were going well. then a quick sprint and pick up on another one. on rietrive turned out to be a mixy bunny wich was abit gutting as this land wouldve produced some good ferreting. all summer loads of them then as soon as the season starts they pick up mixy. never mind going out with a landowner on saturday to show me the bounderies on 600 acres of prime rabbiting.atb

    Ive had a couple of those army surplus spades most have been shit. I remember a timber company making folding terrier spades they looked well worth using but i carnt find them anywhere ?
  16. fitchet
    Yeah it sounds like brians new nets. You can use them when your bushing aswell i could imagine them bieng handy for when your ferreting adjacent to rabbit proof fences . . .
  17. fitchet
    Are you talking about a cage trap or an actual net ? I dont suppose its old brian brindeds hoop nets ?
  18. fitchet
    If you dont sell them my mate will have all 3 rods and reels.

    I allways try to start my dogs lamping for this reason. Just get him out lamping if he isnt back straightaway lamp off when he does come back plenty of praise.

    Double peggers have a real advantage when foxing but for rabbiting in the bottom of trees and rock piles they are sometimes handy. A friend of mine uses poke nets with a ring and a slider. Carnt really see any benefits in it my self but he swears by them.

  23. fitchet
    yes mate it is proper good fun and its good to see the dogs have to find flush and catch there quarry unaided by me a lamp or ferrets. its usually nice when something unexpected pops up but soetimes it can be a right pain for my wallet and the dog . . . . . . . . fecking munties

    Ive heard of people taking stags but there allways seems to be 2 dogs involved and a lamp or fence. Im not knocking the lads who have done it as the lads that have in my opinion are as game as theyre dogs as it takes bottle to slip there dogs on something that big and fast. Atb
