  1. Theres another vid of saluki types on a wolf tied to a zip wire presented by the same fella with the Mali type at the start.
  2. Make of this what you want it didn't look like the wolves had an escape to me ..... http://youtu.be/2zk3OUlF9DM
  3. Certainly picking up witnessed a young dog have a nigh on 6 min run a couple of days ago on massive land FairPlay to the lad who owned it never once shouted to slip another dog. I've had some nice races missed a couple but not many. . Must admit now they are starting to go abit a lot of lads either ain't out or there lamping them shame really.
  4. Simon whiteheads book mate someone who's actually out there doing it on a daily basis and is good at getting his point across in his books ...
  5. I'll be out in the morn for a race or 2 with a mate no lamping for me when it's frosty.
  6. Seen the video a little while ago aums up ferreting pretty well i think.
  7. I bought 1 off a friend who trains greys thought it was abit pricey at first but now i want a couple more certainly does them no harm my daytime dog goes straight to it after hes been out for a few runs.
  8. Which dog do you think will recover quicker after work the one chucked in a kennel curls up shivvering its meal off all night or the one stretched right out under the heat lamp ???
  9. Have a look online for carp bait flavouring. Just choose a couple that you think will work.
  10. Aye. And when it goes right. Nets down as the sun is rising, grass still crisp with frost. Clean bolts, nice pursing after a short rumble. No digs, no squeals of a pinned rabbit, no ferrets messing around. Just being out is good enough for me though.Tbh I don't mind a dig or two during the course of a day. I think these days it's as much a part of ferreting as the ferrets themselves. I'll be honest though I rarely go ferreting without a mutt of some sort in tow. You forget how boring it is while the ferrets are down and watching the dog takes your mind off it. Ferreting without a dog is lik
  11. Hearing them "bumping" on a frosty morning no matter how long you been at it it's still exciting when it's heard.
  12. that footage has done so much damage you would not believe, the police played a blinder by putting it on the net thats not it all so fre told me ? i believe it was 45 mins long I did laugh at the end when the dog jumped out and ran upto the nearest copper. Hard to tell but looked like they was driving standing crop in the vid.
  13. Its like that on a little spot i ferret on if we go there you are pretty much garunteed a visit from plod just due to the public seeing running dogs on the land every time theyve seen us they have never asked for permission just searched us said thanks very much and carried on. It doesnt help with all the clips on tv they never say about legal lurcherwork just the usual shit about gangs driving the land even a couple of years back i could go an have a days sport without looking over my shoulder now even with permission its allways a worry.
  14. I was told by an officer that had stopped us a few weeks ago it costs nearly as much to keep it on the ground as it does in the air as i asked him why get the helicopter out for rabbiting. They are getting extremely hot on it now had my lamp with me the other night on a public lane helping a mate with his mares next minute police are there saying a golf course owner had reported us even told me to get a headtorch or expect to get hassle.
  15. I wont have terriers on a warren now but did have one that was a great little marker/net watcher was also handy when digging to rabbits under rocks and in awkward places.used to carry it around in my army smock in the pocket and just used to let him wonder about when the action lulled one day when he was about eight months old pulled a back netted rabbit out and dragged it to me net still intact. Few more sessions and he was a brilliant little dog to have out. Gave him to a friend who would get more use out of him and he had a good few seasons with him. Thing i find with terriers when ferretin
  16. Never had a problem with feeding shot game to ferrets and they are fed it more or less daily. When i was younger that was part of the day shooting something for the ferrets im sure they just ingest it and it passes through harmlessly.
  17. Seen the one on there channel ferreting with whippets one of the lads said about "brian plummer started out looking for an qllround lurcher he didnt have to look far the whippet was there" what a crock of shite its often these lads who class themselves as pros.
  18. no there not.........there an amalgamation of the two finest canine athletes ever created by man....... Keep telling yourself that whilst your fat dog keeps losing game... I must admit I'd never get a straight bull/greyhound for out and out running but for finding and running on some truly horrible ground they hold there own IMO.
  19. Plenty of flint local to me trouble is once you let go of the slip no telling where the quarry will take your dog.
