    Got to agree Phil, done the same myself. These days i'd rather get on 'better' with a lurcher than not, no matter what it's capable of...

    MC, it really doesn't have to be regular, just as long as it can. I'm not wedded to one type of hunting with a lurcher these days and like a jack of all trades. Like i said, maybe i'll look to more coursing blood in the future, if this scruffy mutt ain't up to much but there's a season coming up to test her plenty and so far, so good... ?

    Seen some good un's bred the same Tat's. Though many would not take foxes.

    I've not owned a coursing dog for over 30 years but now i'd want a dog that will try to stop a hare in one field, not run it over three. I also want sommat that will return almost as fast as it went out. I've always had a problem with dogs that didn't. Maybe i'll go back to full coursing blood but not yet... I'm hoping that the coursing blood in my little bitch does what i was told it tries to do, which is pressure it's quarry and try to kill it quick and the bull blood in her will have her return to my side asap and i'll gel with her better too! Sadly, knowing my luck, i'll have a t

    To be fair, yes, I like a drop of bull blood in a lurcher. I worked half crosses long enough to know both their strenghths and weaknesses and I just get on with them, we worked well together. Thing is, my game has changed so much over these past years. I really don't need such an animal anymore. As an opportunist hunter, what i need is what i put in the post before, something fast enough to be able to catch day and night. I'm just hoping this current youngster has got enough speed for them daytime runs. And if not, i'd need more coursing blood but i don't want, nor need a 'full' coursing

    Deffo.. ?

    I'd agree with Charts on this one, sommat that can stop gear during the day (hopefully in the same field, for a sharp exit!) Whatever that dog may be, i can spin some critters at night too... ?

    Them 'Footsoldier' films are the biggest pile of shite on the box. Just fecking cringworthy... ?

    Lovely cauli that ? We do a nice veggie lasagana, using roasted veg; butternut squash, onion, cougette, mushrooms, garlic (whole) etc BUT we slice a cauli flat, drizzle with olive oil SnP and roast it on a seperate flat tray till it just starts to char. Then add it to the white sauce layer of your lasagana. 'Effin game changer... ?

    Carl/Rudeboy it's good that you got the nod about your dogs from Plummer, such a well known writer would surely boost sales BUT modest and genuine, even Plummer himself would say he was an ego maniac. As for genuine, that is most peoples biggest critism of the man, he lied constantly both in his books and his life, fabricated photos and much, much more. Don't get me wrong, i still really enjoy his early books and think they are very entertaining BUT genuine, certainly not... ?

    Agreed, i'm far too hard on footwear to be forking out on expensive ones. Had a cracking pair of Toggi Wanderer Espirit that lasted two years. Bought another pair which lasted less than a month, sickener..! Them Solognac are really decent for the money, though i'm on a pair of Aldi neoprene that i bought in Feb 2020 and worn daily, they are still going strong. As well as lamping, we had a good few ratting jobs on a huge farm after shooting finished this year, putting a good few miles in on full days between flight ponds and pens. It was a grouler and them Aldi specials did the job....

    Seen a post FB dog page yesterday with the title the stubbles are here or sommat like that. Where a hare gets kicked up and is nailed within a hundred yards. It got the usual ton of 'likes' and any condemnation that it was mid summer, was met with the 'only starting a pup'... I have no problem starting a pup at any time, because that is dependent on when that pup was born but i just wish folks would think about glorifying it at this time of year...

    Montane are great bits of kit BUT best worn next to skin or with a very light, wicking top underneith. It's only a pertex outer layer too, so dont go bramble bashing in one but for a good yomp on a cold day, they are spot on... ?

    Some did, the rest of working class innercity Briton ate out of the frying pan and started dropping off their perches from 50 onwards... Doctors in the A&E wards will ask the families of older heart and stroke patients what they did for a living. They get a feel for the lifetime state of health in the patient from that... In working class people, daily fry up breakfasts, spam and white bread butties etc for dinner and a couple of pints in the evenings, Woodbine and Capston ciggies all day... etc The state of heath in this country post WW2 was/is shocking and yet WE have so many i

    On Great! Classic tonight at 23.40 - Used Cars. A 1980 Robert Zemekis film starring Kurt Russell. Been many years since i last watched it but as i remember its a great bit of fun...

    Two terriers stolen from Lowestoft last night (11/7/21) between 18:30 and 23:30, a white JR Terrier dog about 10 year old and a Black Patterdale Terrier dog with a white blaze about 6 months old, microchipped, There’s a reward leading to their safe return

    Watched Darkest Hour on Saturday night, followed by John3Wick. Really enjoyed Darkest Hour and although i have watched the other two, John3Wick was the biggest pile of crap i've seen in ages.

    Fool i may be, but i've turned down many offers to go into breeding programmes of dogs like these. Point of fact is that many dog lads are breeding the arse out of these hideous monstrosities for coin. I loath the practice... I never got into this game to make money from it, for me it has always been at my expence to keep working dogs and enjoy them at their work. I have my morals and always will do...
  22. Bosun11
    Yes...

    Rats and rabbits should be your main two quarry species, unless you want to work your terrier underground and then working above i'd just stick to rats. Loads of stuff a terrier can chance catch, some have been mentioned. I also had a leggy Lakie that cought a couple of hares and had a knack for moles and patridge too. Just read your question above and terriers love working brambles and will get scratched to bits but it doesn't bother them and with a clean up, shouldn't bother you ? Have fun... ?

    I've also seen them and will confirm that. I seen them in the field on a days hunting on a freezing day in the snow. I never seen them run that day, as we were on different pegs, but they did get a couple of runs and surprised a few. Out of all the dogs there, at half time, they looked the most comfortable. Remember having a look over them and their teeth were fecking huge ?

    Yer, a bag or tub really forces it up. Just make sure its well watered before you cover it. I'd like to core hollow tine in Autumn, as it better to do it twice yearly but my lawn gets too much hammer in the winter from the dogs, so it'll probs just be the fork and a bit of a top dressing/sand mix and i'll seed into that mix before applying, with a bit more seed on top for good measure.
