    I gave up the Lurcher game in the nineties for a couple of reasons. Since then i have been lucky that through circumstances and contacts i have had invites for various other things both here and abroad. I got the big game hunting bug for a while and amassed a collection of taxidermy in the process. I have had brilliant Salmon fishing, I have the right to a 3 mile stretch of river. I got the carp bug again for a while and had some great captures . I a

    Not really because it simply puts people off wanting to post. I get banter and micky taking, but making out someone is telling untruths with no reason is wrong. The fact that some people started before others makes little difference but seems to upset some people, and I for one cannot get my head round that. I have spent a big part of my life teaching children to hunt, some of the 4-5 years old and when their parents told me school teacher had called those children liars, it made my blood boil thinking that these small minded people thought this way, yet here we are in 2022 and

    I wasn't born into the lurcher word far from it and my first dog was nothing like a lurcher, that came at a later date and for people info the first things I hunted were hedgehogs, rats etc oh and bull finches. This miss understanding came about out of a simple statement that i started hunting in 1954 or there about's and nowhere did I say with lurcher.

    Over the course of a month that same or similar scene was photographed with similar numbers of rabbit and various other bits of game with that lad and various mates in the picture, some of them from Cumbria other Lincolnshire. In one of the photos there is a heap of dead foxes to the right and behind the old landi bone shaker. I never heard how he got on with his half-bred, but that minshaw bred dog was one of the best game produces I've seen, a testament to breed and conditioning.

    Brings back fond memories, If they are in the net long enough to build up momentum from a jump, they seem to reach extraordinary heights aided by the lines, and the noise would rival a banshee on fire. i could tell an amusing tale of a true rogue pegging for hares one night in derbyshire. on a similar theme my Grandfather used to get his workers to catch up hares on his estate in prewar Poland, they were shipped from Gdansk in the baltic to Suffolk for release on various estates.

    I really don't see what the issue is! it just seems that a lot of lurcher people dont like shooters and vice versa. I used to hunt on an estate in Hampshire, Harley mount. From October to March 2 days a week it was the norm for 5 or 6 lads to walk it and catch as many hares as they wished, only thing was no entry into the woods. The estate was heavily keepered and shot for pheasant and partridges. I had great days there coursing both hares and deer. In march of every season we had hare drives the to thin the hare numbers out and 3 days would normally produce 6-700 hares. No
