Seen a similar article on the demise of the weasel, as it's numbers have reduced by 50% over the past 10 years. Such a reduction can almost only be because of the reduced rabbit numbers caused by RVHD2, though the article was trying to blame habitat loss, trapping & poison. All play their part, but rabbit numbers are key imo... I can only hope, in my lifetime, they start making a comeback. I miss those crazy nights with big bunny numbers...

Not a film but a BBC series (now on iplayer) Outlaws I watched it for the sole reason that Christopher Walken is in it, as he is probably my favorite actor alive today. Set in Bristol, it's quirky and funny but has a gritty dark side. I really enjoyed it. 7.5/10

Scouser, the coursing dog, was well over 10 years, when he lined the bitch to produce my dog. His owner said it'd probably be his last full lining, as he just wasn't interested any more. Not sure if he ever did manage to give it another 'go'. As long as the dog is both worthy and capable it really shouldn't matter how old they are...

No mate, never been but love anything like that, so if i get the opportunity i'd jump at it. I find stuff like that facinating. The film shows the estate and surrounding areas to be a beautiful part of the country too.

The Dig Film - Netflix A charming, beautifully filmed and interesting story of the dig at Sutton Hoo just before the start of WW2. A fantastic all British cast, with Ralph Fiennes as Basil Brown, the 'excavator' and finder of the horde. His understated acting in this role is superbe. I'm sure most will find it pretty boring but i really enjoyed it. 8/10

FFS...?

I believe thats the right way to go Dan, support your local hunt, both attend and contribute. It's just about all that can be done at our level. Main stream and social media are really forcing their will now, there is a sweeping tide of anti hunting retoric out there right now and plenty of the flack comes, as Eastcoast just said, from 'fieldsports' own ranks....

Jon and Lynn Bickley used to do some fine terrier/hunting sculptures years ago, in bronze resin. Border fine arts also had a series of terrier statues.

Spot on, hunting has no leadership now. The MFHA as buried its head in the sand for years. Same as the CA. James Barcley of This Is Hunting has said 'every effort must now be made to engage with an ever enquiring public'... Which right now is simply shutting the stable door after the horse has well and truely bolted..! That was what was needed after the marches, near 20 years ago, when we all stood shoulder to shoulder and had strength in numbers. But it was all too easey to throw coursing (and lurcherwork) under the bus to save their own skins and go back to quaffing Pimms in the gu

As a kid my gt aunt had an outside toilet, complete with strips of torn newspaper on a string. Upstairs she also had a very 'modern' advacado bathroom suite, in a pristene bathroom, complete with crocheid (spelling) loo roll covers in the shape of georgian ladies upstairs, that no one was allowed to use..! I remember spending the day there, all twisted up because i didn't want to wipe my arse with newspaper. Sometimes nature got the better of me and still i wonder how you are supposed to wipe clean with the Liverpool Echo. I'd always leave a bit 'muddy'. Long visits were hell...! Then buy

Beat me to it mate...? A fantastic watch, anyone with an interest in music needs to watch this. 10/10

Nice job. Those two are a handy pair ?

Without reading back on the thread to see if it's already been posted... Word is, that it was the old boys permo and the farmer was happy for the event to take place and was paid very well for any damage caused... Now if thats true, the ONLY real issue is that old chestnut of filming it and it being put up on the internet for all to see AND that, is what will make the game harder in the years to come... ?

Superb... ??

Real shame that Ray, i always loved your posts about Bryn the most and i'm glad to say i met the old bugger. I always tried to put his name up for stud to anyone looking for a genuine working F1 collie cross. It's never easy mate but remember the good times, and there were many....

Looking at that f***ing thing i'm begining to get upset... It's just beautiful -
Would anyone down in Kent be able to supply a good mate of mine some rabbit for the table? He's not a hunter but loves his cooking and is looking to do some rabbit recipe's. He lives in the Erith/Bexleyheath area and would collect, if not too far. Just drop me a pm if possible... Thanks ?

That's exactly how i was... What happened to the woman with the tray on a strap round her neck, selling Ki-Ora, ice cream tubs and Butterkist popcorn eh..!!

No Time To Die - Went the flicks to see this one (the Mrs loves Bond) I've not been in years and couldn't get over how fecking loud it was..! Ok, deffo not Craig's best, as the film simply ties up a lot of loose ends. But the locations look stunning and Craig cranks up his 'all action with deep issues' portrail of Commander Bond. And sadly, it does leave the million dollar question of 'who's next'... We just hope James Bond is never black nor female ? 7/10

Whilst i'd never run a dog in a coat for work or excercise BUT for fine coated, thin skinned hounds, it can make roadwork, or simply a walk round the block on a lead a damn sight more comfortable mid winter. Especially if they are going right back to the kennel...
