The end of hunt terrier work
harryshounds replied to Bakerboy's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Hunting in Ireland not seen as such a class issue, that's why it can get cross party support. Id go as far as to say most hound hunting in Ireland is on foot by working clas rural types. It's the working class v the toffs that's allowed labour to pursue a ban in England. The strength of hunting in Ireland is that we don't have that divide. -

Patterdale x Border/Russell but honestly sometimes there's a look n sound of a drop of beagle in the mix but lad I got him from says there's none in him. -
Large mixed fry up. Steak, Lamb chops(organic lamb from a local farmer, I get a ½ butchered lamb off him every yr, nicest lamb ya ever eat), sausages, egg n chips..... that's a feed after a great days mooching!

Just went local today and had a great day. Non stop action all day. Marked a burrow in the very first field I walked into then it was pretty much no stop either hunting scent through cover n bogs or marking and digging rats. Got 10 rats from 4 marks, couple of em were monsters one of em probably the biggest I've ever got, some of the marks were long digs had to shift alot of soil to get our rat but Floyd nose and scratching got us the results. Got good long hunts on through the cover n bogs. Floyd was on fire tbh. Delighted.

Good that it was overwhelming defeat but they'll be back. Best thing to do when it comes to foxes, hounds, terriers is put the phones away.

Avoid em is best answer

I can't see it for a few more yrs anyway. Enjoy while we have it. If the Greens couldn't stop it the SDs won't. I'd be more concerned if the shinners were against it, but ya couldn't trust them too much.

He looks like a vermins nightmare
-
The shinners will be the big party in the next government, they're new rural base in the South won't have it and in rural strong holds along the border hunting hounds is a way of life. I think it'll die out as the gen zers don't have an interest. Although one real bad incident caught on camera could change things. I think it Ireland hunting not seen as such a class issue as in UK. Ban on hunting was always about attacking the Tory brigade.

Won't happen, yet.
