An owners ego is the heaviest burden a dog can carry...

Haha no mate, it was a scene from this film. With John Wayne sat up front, about to nab a giraffe with that noose on a pole...

You should get one of these...

You have no idea mate, no idea at all... I'd give the subject of driving fields a wide berth.

Crazy nights... Was always funny seeing lads out lamping on foot, and tearing up to them, lights off, foot to the floor, then slam on... The looks we'd get... Priceless!!

Those were the days, or nights..!!

Done it both ways... but I'd always do it all off my own steam. I love going off grid there. Head down the Keys for fantastic boat experiences. I'd also head over to Everglades City and get on the airboats in the reeds and/or mangroves. Some great people down there...

So very true, and like him, or loath him, he's a bloody good dog man, and would prove that to anyone questioning it...

A couple of my mates have had Lab/Greyhounds. John, who used to write in the early EDRD mag, under the name Greylab. His dog was a decent animal on the lamp, but excelled around an earth, as John done more digging than anything else. His dog loved foxes. My other mate Andy has had a couple, he's a lamper and his dogs are ran on anything he finds in the beam. Again, they have both been spot on fox dogs, as he loves running them on that quarry.

I know plenty that have been out with Mark, and not one came back and said a word against his dogs. His dogs all perform at the highest level. He puts the effort in to ensure they do.

Very true, he's like the Yellow pages of hunting...

Buck's a bloody good album, as are all they've done. Try and catch them live, they are great

Not sure if I put this up a couple of years back when I first watched it but... Land - Starring and directed by Robin Wright. A grieving woman decides to escape to the Wyoming wilderness. I found it a cracking film, with a gritty performance by Wright. For those wanting to 'escape' to wilderness, and for those that think 'feck that', it's worth a watch.

The only thing worse than summer hunters, is those that then glorify it on social media... Taking a youngster, or a newly acquired animal out, to see how it shapes-up is one thing. Proudly displaying three or more dead hares infront of it on FB is another.

Not sure how many will know his dad, but young Martin Quinn was asked by BASC to interview for a podcast about life and working his gundogs, and picking up on the grouse moors. As a mate of his dad, I've known Martin almost all his life, coursed, lamped & dug with him. He was brought up with running dogs and he's a credit to field sports, and it's great that he was interviewed, and, as he told me yesterday, made sure he got a Lurcher nod on the BASC too... I went up to Calderdale to beat last year, and for me, as someone who has always operated 'under the radar' it really was a f

This is a great podcast from my good friend, (young) Martin Quinn. Brought up with lurchers & terriers, Martin is now embedded in his gundogs, shooting and picking up. Well worth a listen...

Grey faces aside, the biggest indicator of a working dogs age is it's recovery time....

Rib's are phenomenal craft. Used to work on one, a long time ago...

Never done the full genealogy thing, but traced my family lines over 100+ years on both sides. My mother's side is all Welsh but moved to Anfield Liverpool in the 1850's. Where they married only fellow Welsh folk. Though my lot thought they'd hit the jackpot, when my Nan married a real Welshman who was in the RAF before the war. Thing is, he was a total cnut alcoholic. He hated his new life in Liverpool and lethered his wife and his new born daughter when drunk, and that was frequent. They split, and through 'shame' my Nan went to work in the Isle of Man through the War, and my mum was br

I just tend not to watch such shite, because it just boils my piss...
