This lad would mark holes, draw, dig out rats, flush fur n feather and retrieve....go all day from morning til dark.... can't get em like that anymore, least I ain't seen one. That pic bout 20 years ago.

Hens teeth these days. What bout a good bushing terrier?

I had em yrs ago. Real old style, heavy built springers, would hunt anything with fur or feather and could hunt all day. Any springers I see now are snipy light field trail breeding all movement and gas out after bout 2 hrs. I did see a littler on dog.ie advertised as hard hunting barking springers.

Guinness original recipe before they made the creamy recipe in the 1960s, Guinness was a slightly fizzy black beer, I like it, different.

Went down the country today for a hunt. Flushed 3 or 4 but it was very warm out so scent wasn't great but we got a good spin off this fella bout 3 o'clock as the day was cooling down a bit. Was delighted with Floyd trailing and tongue on him.

Steak garlic butter, chips, egg, black pudding, little bit of pepper sauce on the chips.... Beer

Spoon of HP into the mince n veg before it cooks let it cook through.

Out today no rats but flushed plenty of birds and got some good hunts and some nice scent trailing. Dip in temp definitely helping the scent.

Homemade Burgers, three well seasoned patties, cheese, tomato, lettuce, burger sauce...I ate two of em like a pig well fed.... needed some soakage, she's out tonight so it's just me and the dogs in the kitchen, beers n tunes...im actually under orders to play music so if there's any residual firework displays tonight they won't hear em.

Got out for a quick hr or so before I had to get the dogs home and sedate em before the Halloween fireworks kicked off. Seemed to be lots of scent and noticeable increases in runs into the covers and sure enough Flyod hit on a hunt and after a fast n furious burst account for small rabbit in the cover. Both home now and drugged up by the fire

Got out local for few hours today. Got one mark and rat on a spot I haven't checked since last yr. Dogs were hunting well til Floyd could hear fire works going off in the distance, once he heard them the tail dropped and he was finished hunting for the day.... Halloween is a c**t of a time for my terrier, the fire works have him traumatized.

So had planned to hunt with a pal and his beagles but rain and wind put that off. Bout lunchtime the weather eased off so I went local for a few hrs. Bolted a rabbit the very first field I hit, a field that's been bare of rabbits since last yr. Got a chase off a big ears,Zara viewed and chased hard, she's fast but not lurcher fast so puss was safe as houses. Got a good mark in the small woods accounted for one big rat. Kept mooching flushed plenty and dogs were working well. Got another mark on a muck hill, two bolted and gave me the slip. On way home got another good hunt on a rabbit in

Got home early when still light so hot out for quick mooch on a local farm. Usually but if scent on it but has been bare of rabbits the last two yrs....saw two today and got a nice lil hunt off one.

Classics are classics for a reason!!

Can't beat it
