  1. Truth is this will run its course all the measures now may slow it down and help the NHS but there are far to many dickheads out there to eradicate the spread. Mass hysteria seems to be the order of the day mainly due to the facebook experts. As for me ive tried self isolating for years due to the fact i hate crowded places and prefer solitude.

  2. Dogs are intelligent enough to work out the pace that is required to catch their prey.Speed is a great attribute but those of us that were lucky enough to be old enough to witness a coursing event, will know that speed can be a disadvantage. overshooting cost many a dog first place Ferreting a dog that can work out what position to be in is worth its weight in gold i had one it showed up a few dogs with so called reputations. Anyway just enjoy the game while it lasts.

    Looks good socks, is that your perfect dog or hopefully your perfect dog. My point was the diversity of different land , what dog can do it all, i had a saluki whippet that was brilliant on woodland work, i wont say coursing because its intermittent short dangerous runs, that gave me near bloody heart attacks watching her she was 23tts weighing in at 32lbs could turn on a six pence, but she was no hare dog only ever caught a couple.But to get a dog to run all types of land requires a variation in size and weight in my opinion.

    Plenty of otters on river hull, seen them up passed ticton a few times.

    Was up there on monday the rivers twice as wide at the moment a few inches below the pub window, fishings knackered at the moment. Seen otters more up at tophill low and hempholme.

  5. The one about the home guard interested me, there was a group in each area that was going to go underground and fight a guerilla war and eliminate potential traitors, there was a list of targets in each local area, i would have loved to seen the one in my village. Pretty sure who would have been on that list, some of them did pretty well in later years screwing money out of council funds etc. As kids we found a bunker in a wood back of a large house, in later years i learned the history of it. A local doctor was the head of this platoon that occupied this particular hiding place. Interesting stuff that we will possibly never know the full details of.

    I used to love the smell of them cardboard cartridges back then and the smell that hit you when you went in ironmonger stores which stocked cartridges, wires, purse nets and trusty old lambs foot pen knifes.

    Them Biakal cartridges we used to buy in boxes of 10 from secondhand shop and I didn't like them. One would go bang the next fut, the shot was all sizes in and miss shaped.

    Cheers Arry

    Aint that the truth i once shot a pigeon in a tree and the shot had balled up poor sod was blown apart.

    I don't know micky whatsoever, but I can assure you, there certainly were some keepers in certain parts of the country that would indeed, with a little help from locals etc, give you a damned good hiding if they caught you. And not that long ago either

    I for one used to like going on my own, when your on your own you know especially in a dark wood  who the enemy is, went with a couple of mates and one was so nervous he used to spook us so never again.,as for keepers ive been shot at over my head once when lamping with a friend. One thing i will say is poaching can be bloody hard work.

  9. Well looks like i risk a sentence every day i go out, always have my catty, my dog, and my refusal to bow down to the snowflakes that deem any form of hunting as criminal . I could respect their view if they knew the first thing about hunting but nearly all know sweet FA ABOUT IT. One thing i am glad about now that i am an old fart is the knowledge that i have seen the best years of this game and only hope it gets better in the future, but it wont.
