  1. Yep, same here really for the last 10ish years. Lamping bores me nowadays. I'll go now and again with my lad
  2. Yeah I know the ban is in place, but what WAS your favourite quarry, 'pre ban'? Personally for me it was hares, and like gamerooster said, deer get the old heart racing
  3. As above, what was people's favourite quarry to hunt, and why, when we still had a bit of freedom to do it? I know, but it's already been a pretty long summer! lol
  4. I would say that if you want a saluki too run quarry in this country then you would fair much better with one bred from parents that have done the job here or at least one parent that has, that's is just my opinion though, seen a lot of imports and not many made much impact, think they loose a bit when they getting carted all round the world, pup time is important for socialisation, its a massive thing taking a pup from one side of the world to the other, and again does any breeder ever truly sell his best stock from any litter, I know I wouldn't myself, I want first and second pick, I want th
  5. Totally with you on your comments v m. Can't find a fault with mine either, and getting well over 120 with H+N FTT and over 130 shots per fill with AA fields. Like you say, not pellet fussy, no flyers etc at all. I am not the best shot in the world, but this 110 makes me look damned good! Lol. Love it, and it's going nowhere. Don't know how to put pics etc up, so people will have to take my word for it. Suffice to say, two of my mates, one that already has a HW100 KT, and the other a BSA R1O are both buying one a s a p. Amazing rifle
  6. I really struggled with what too do, and its this statement that kept ringing in my ears, cause in reality its the stone cold truth, you really don't know what you are culling at that age, even at eight weeks when they taken some shape and shown a bit character etc, its still impossible to tell anything real solid, look at some of the great dogs take breed or type aside, the real top end ones are all shapes and sizes within the breeds and types of crosses, some say larger litter harsh on the dam, my argument their is properly prepared the dam should easily cope, plus we do our bit by making li
  7. Don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't be culling any of those, or any litter that I bred. Total bollox if someone says they can tell which ones are going to be the better pups to keep out of any litter
  8. Cheers Shaaark Toms answered better than I could have mate. I don't usually go for skeleton stocks either but, now that I've held this, I can see the attraction - it's going to be a piece of piss to carry round all day That's more info than I had before mate I asked about the age of it on another forum but, I was told that Falcon never kept records and, the seial number doesn't give any kind of date. Mid 90s will do me though - right around the time I left school so, this will be roughly 22yrs old, give or take a bit. I also never knew that John Bowket had a
  9. Yes mate dam coursing lurcher Buddy x Roxy Not up on my coursing/saluki peds. They look pure saluki, how close to being pure are they? Cracking pups btw
  10. Looks a cracking little rifle, and I'm not that keen on skeleton stocks lol. Forgive my ignorance here, but is falcon a british make, and were they out before brocock, as that looks very similar to the contour?
  11. Claret?! Don't let your dog drink alcohol, it's no good for dogs
  12. I think everybody is influenced by colour when choosing a pup, everything else being equal. No-one picks a pup they don't like the look of
  13. I like brindles, I find them faster than other coloured dogs, especially when they're sporting a nice shiny collar. So to me it makes a difference ...........................
  14. 92 lb is a big dog. How tall is he, and is he ok on rabbits walshie?
  15. I won't be running the dog on anything or buying one yet for that matter, I was just wondering why you don't see these more often on here... I understand that they are/ were being used to course hare, dispatch deer, running alongside the hunters on a horse... a smaller version used to exist, owned by farmers known simply as " hare catchers"... ATB
  16. What quarry and what type of hunting would you be doing with this type of dog? And though I'll have to start getting my flak jacket on as I'm writing this, ALOT of bull x's that I've seen have been straightlined for speed by practically everything they've been ran at, just straight bull/greys I mean, not deer/grey x bull/grey etc
  17. How's that fawn and white pup of yours kennymc? Looks a real nice prospect. Any recent pics/updates?
  18. !! SITE RULES, NO RACISM, SEXISM or DISABLITYISM!! ......................
  19. So killing them by running them over in a motor is ok?! Beggars belief the sad shit I read on here
  20. Don't matter where it is really. For me, the fact of the matter is that the guy driving up that road is a c**t, simple. He obviously mowed some of them down, you can hear it ............... c**t!!
  21. Same as some of these coursing/saluki bred lines. The amount of faff, rubbish and lies that's been said or told about what's in the line of some of those is absurd
