I agree with Simoman,if you intend continuing to be around dogs you just got to get straight back in the saddle,so to speak......a bad attack will effect different people in different ways.....i was involved in a very nasty attack a long time ago,my mindset was to accept it was a freak occurence from 1 bad dog.....the next few weeks being around dogs was nervy but the confidence soon builds up again and it does infact leave you with better skills at reading situations... Physically wounds heal hopefully with no lasting damage,mentally it can take longer if you allow it to get the better of yo

Crackin pics Ronnie, love that one of the lurcher pup.

Very nice mate..

Then my advice would be not to piss her off..!

Seen most crosses kill foxes, plenty of Deerhound and collie type dogs, a few Saluki's, though predominantly Lurcher to Lurcher bred dogs, get a good 'un and it really can do the job.

Got Lithium and extra Striker... (It's too posh for me, i'm shit scared to use it!) New coat, which means I can now downgrade one of me older ones for lamping. Most important of all, i've mentally conditioned myself that my dog is a usless failure, which makes any success this season a huge bonus.. Just a new pair of wellies to get.

Your right mate but I did with my post too... -
ratting perhaps? dont own one myself, my own hob is at the other end of the scale (big fat fooker, lol) I tend to agree with Rob, in that I kept and worked ferrets for 25+ years and never seen the need for tiny ones. A nice sized, fit (conditioned) jill would get anywhere. These were what we used for ratting too, anything too small could take a pasting from either rat or rabbit. I only see the need for 'micro' ferrets, the same as I see the need for fancy colours in ferrets...££££. Maybe I've been out of the game too long and things have changed..

Been at it over 30 years, from ratting at about 10, to lamping from about 14. Don't do all I used to, who could? Back then I walked everywhere or used public transport, for lamping it was the last bus out and first bus home, trains the same for a night over the Wirral foxing. Long days, full days too, on whatever. Even in summer, try hitchhikeing to Llangollen, from Liverpool with a lurcher & terrier in tow... I got there! Passed my test at 17, on a Friday, that Sunday I was digging in Shropshire (crazy days). Then came those long halls, scouring the whole country for different qu -
Nope, but there was one about 'em all being thawed out...

I had a Lakie years back that killed with a throat hold, seen him use it in railway drains a few times, seemed to have a knack for it that didn't see him take much stick, he used it for about three seasons. Came unstuck one day and took a face full, never went back to that throat hold, just waded right in forever after, still killed 'em but would end up a mess every time. Thing is, his mother always killed foxes by wading right in, and his father on the few occasions he killed in, used a throat hold.

Was a british series done a few years back by the lot that done League Of Gentlemen, Blackpool, it was called. Dark and strange is it's best desription. Wouldn't usually be my thing but it had me hooked.

There hasnt been a lurcher writer since who could match him for word-craft,granted his tales stretched the truth elastically but were very readable,he probably got more guys interested in the lurcher game than any other since. You know what Mackem, your probably right.. Which wasn't always a good thing..!! Yep, fav books; Nathan, Plummer - Not a lurcher book but a damn good tale. Fell Terrier, Plummer - As above. Rougues & Running Dogs, Plummer - The first I read. World of the Working Terrier, Harcombe - Informative & honest. Christ, of all the books out t

Betcha he won't do anything from Trick of The Tale, Wind & The Wuthering, And then There Were Three, Duke, Abacab etc..! Motown... Plenty out there who do it better..

I'd agree with Duckwing, there's usually plenty to tell... I've had my fair share but the worst i've seen was with a mate of mine on a pre-ban foxing night. Bad night, put the miles in and only one fox to show for it. Decided, against our better judgment, in the early hours to try a local speck, a park. Anyways, lamp on, few foxes about, backs to the railings and call. Two are flying in but one of 'em's coming so quick it's on a feckin motor bike! 'Slip'...! But the dogs ain't gone, he's somehow caught himself up on the collars! Fox is almost on top of us and he lets go. Fox does a li

Ain't my 'cup of cha' that type of vid, would have liked to have seen those first runs left as they were filmed, with just one half run in normal film at the end, music was a fecking drag too.. Damn shame...!
