  1. I've done it a few times, and funnily enough i've ended up back where i was born. But In the past i've been known to be impulsive, and have suddenly fecked off to live in Czech Republic, then suddenly fecked off to live in Scotland, then fecked it off to live in Hungary, another sudden move to Slovakia, and a final random impulse back to Wales. With various shorter term stays in between and lot of travelling. It's always worked out, and if it don't justfeck off somewhere else again, i was lucky at the time though, no responsibilities.
  2. Interesting one this. . . . i've never really met a woman who was into hunting off her own back, i.e it was 'her' thing. But i've had experiance of a number of different woman, who have ended up as hunters or at least tagging a long, due to the men they have choosen to spend their time / life with. My mum is the first example, neither of her parents hunted, and she had never done anything like it, but her grandfather was ferret / dog mad. When she started dating my father, he ended up meeting her grandfather, and a great friendship was started between the two men - old and young. My mum ha
  3. All the lads giving grief over it not going to the vet. With most animals, unless they are on their ass, they dont get rushed into vets. Most of us would moniter it for a day or so, and then make a decision. Sorry that she didnt make it mate.
  4. If only that dog could talk . . . .
  5. I guess he was lost lamping / hunting or dumped? How is his condition? Cracking result anyhow
  6. i love it when your at a show and the chaves love it because theire dog is this big aggresive thing lol certain game sort the men from the boys atb donk I agree but i cant see how a dog thats scared of dog would be good on the certain game your refering to. (not trying to be a c**t btw). At the end of the day mate, some dogs are smart enough to know that it's a dog and not quarry, that there is no point getting in a fight and getting stick, and that they may well get a clout from the boss. Some dogs can happily like chucking other stuff about, i'd think.
  7. That's brilliant mate, really good to hear a positive result. Out of interest, any more info on the situation he was found in etc?
  8. " In my eyes a lurcher shouldn't play " Possibly one of the most dull comments we've had
  9. Its like the reverse, when some bell end tells you their dog is really 'game' and is going to smash foxes, because it's really dog agressive
  10. Do they really breed all year round though? Or at least is it common? Or is this just another 'fact' that keeps getting passed around. How many people have killed milky muntjack does in Nov/Dec/Jan? Shot or pre 2005 of course. It's a question I was pondering the other day when watching a doe with a fawn the size of a leveret, I'm genuinely curious as to the answer.... I don't know mate, like i was saying, that' what is advised. Whether it's true or not i don't know, but i've heard it from folk who seem to know their stuff.
  11. Most of them average around the 20 something mph at top speed.
  12. Best way to tell if they are about is to use your ears, not your eyes. Also it's advised you kill either bucks, pregnant does, or juvenile does, as unpregnant does of breeding age, will nearly always have a follower hidden somewhere close, as they breed all year.
  13. Laky x airdale, been used as a pulling dog i guess, if worked.
  14. I remember reading somewhere of a couple of hill collies that killed foxes when they were out working the sheep: anyone know where I might have read that? Don't know, but it's not that uncommon. Seen a lab that liked them as well, which wasn't expected.
  15. skins were sold an tongs were taken into the police station for a bounty So that had to have bumped up the numbers of folk after them, and the numbers being taken, i would say.
  16. Another maybe unrelated point, but something i have noticed, is that these days if you wanted to run large numbers of foxes on the lamp, your best bet would be on the fringes of towns and not in the countryside proper. THe number of foxes in the 'countryside' seems to have dropped since the ban. Whereas the fox population in and around towns has sky rocketed. The problem is, it's probably easier to target the rural fox, in many situations, so they are getting hit pretty hard. I certainly wouldnt mind a few more around here. Speaking to folk who were hunting fox in the past, one difference as
  17. Don't know if it' been said, but i think maybe it partly changed when the price of furs rose, and started to be a commericaly viable thing to harvest. Before that, foxes weren't worth killing i guess, only if they happened to get up in front, or if they were damaging livelihoods etc. Also there was a point post ww2 where food became more available and folk had to rely on the dogs less as a source of food, and more as a source of pleasure / sport? Also i wonder if mixy had much to do with it? Or maybe that was too early? And finally i would say that foxing with lurchers has taken off since the
  18. Notice they showher whole hand wrapped up and it was one wee nip on the finger. Lame.
  19. Mate, that sounds like a really good offer, and no i have not found one. I will Pm you!
  20. sounds like she got everything she needs, lets wish her all the best in her career when it starts Fingers crossed mate
