The bar is an invaluble piece of equipment when diging without locater,even to this day i would not be without it.How many times have collars failed or a cave in occured in soft running sand,then the bar comes into its own.We always use locater now but i still like to push the bar through to find exactly where tube is.I have dug with the BnF a few times and we seemed to come down one side of the terrier so bar comes into use again.Maybe its a case of old habits die hard but i always say why change a winning team.

No blue bear i dont own the ground but have permission on it.Not nice to see every hare on it killed just for the fun of it.People wonder why farmers run them when they see them out coursing,its pricks like them lads give everyone with a lurcher a bad name.ICEMAN i read on here a while back that the north is full of hares so why do the lads travel so far to get a run.Dont get me wrong i have nothing against the north lads,just seems a long way to come to run a hare.I know lads meet lads from each side for a day out but i see the north lads down this side pretty often

Did you get the service of that dog or get that dog.I think a few are mixed up about it.

Ùsed to be plenty about my area until a shower of c**ts came in from a different area and practially wiped them out.They were sliping 3or4 dogs at any time.The local coursing club intervened and got rid of these boys and they then started to release hares in the area.I can now see a build up of hares again in the area.We were out after fox with the gun club a few week back and i counted 9 hare leaving a small cover out into a big rushie field.I dont mind any man geting a run at a hare but when you have fcuking wankers like who hunted here about it spoils it for everyone.Why cant all these so

Did you try it on the lamp :11: I've been going to Brians for years and can honestly say i've never seen a BIG dog there. Maybe its one of his sons siluki crosses you got haha.

Mossy he never mentioned taken them alive,i understood they were for the pot.I know its tricky getting them out when there alive and the b*****ds can bite hard.Often had one kill itself from jumping about and hiting the peer or a stone on the ground.Know a man who was in the horrors from drink and on the same morn caught a hare while netting.Well the keep bag was a few yards away so in all the confusion with the hangover he left down the hare to fetch the bag and away with the hare down the field,so funny he could have got 20pound for it live and cured his hangover,but ended up with nowt only

Have'nt seen any smashed up terriers on here yet,not that i want to,i think they should be kept in the privisy of there kennell away from prying eyes.It only takes 1 bunny hugger to upset the apple cart. -
Love the photo's p3d

Seen some good white bodied terriers work down through the years,most were a mixed bunch..bullxrussell..fox terrierx russellor bull and a few sealyhamxrussells but all honest hard workers.Had a black.n.white terrier up until a couple of year ago and dug a lot of stuff with it.

This well i know it DEE MAC everybody seems to keep black terriers nowadays,but there is still pockets around the country where you will find the old fashined white terrier still been worked and bred to a good standard.

fat man replied to rocky1's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Im sure somebody has something to suit as you dont seem to want any particular breed. -
Knew a man that had a miss breeding with his springer bitch.The collie from next door lined her and she had 5 pups.He is a real softy and let the pups live.He got pet homes for 3 and kept the other twowhich were 2 bitchs.His intensions were to give them away but no one wanted them.He started to take them beating for fox and they loved it.They were demon's on fox really hated them and would also give plenty of tounge in cover.

When boys have drink they think there men but when the drink wears off there boys again.

Gate netting hares is pretty straight forward once you know the run of the hares and the gate passes that they use.When you have sussed out which gates they use set your nets each side of the gap,in doing this if he knocks the first one he will get caught in the second,also if two went through there's a good chance of geting both.Set your nets leaving plenty of baggage for them to wrap up in.I always found early morn to be best,but you can get them anytime,and if you have a well trained dog to send out to beat them in your laughing,no problem on your own.

Steve the only reason i said not to go diging on a windy day was that without locater it would be very hard to ear sound a terrier if it was at a fair depth,hard enough to hear sometimes on a frosty morn in shallow ground.There is a lot of different ground types about me from clay to sand to pure bog so sound can vary.And as for getting foxes to ground on a windy day id say a wet cold day would be even better especially on hilly ground where ther is no shelter from the elements.I would not put a terrier to ground without a collar on even if it was only 1ft in dept anymore why risk it,but i wou

The thread was diging to dogs without locater,not good days to get them in,ever try listening for a terrier to ground on a windy day,maybe you did'nt dig pre locater.
