  1. the reason i havent been on for a while is just this. i think i prefer to go out hunting than read this crap.

     

    i cover a lot of land in north wales but can't find any pockets that still have lots of rabbits - i do hunt the land quite a lot (lamping at night and hawks, terriers and ferrets in the day - when not in work!) its just that rabbits seem to have disappeared more than ever and not finding many with mixi

     

    anyway going to highlands for a mth in december on a mates land where there are still plenty of rabbits :thumbs:

     

    thanks anyway

  2. i believe the reason why they knock their toe up is when the dog is either turning or when it puts all its pressure on its toes. common problem is leaving their nails too long - i've been told to cut them every fortnight.

     

    if the dogs toe is knocked up i've been told to rest for at least 6 weeks and put iodised oil on which can be bought from greyhound sites on internet. also told to cut it back to the quick but couldnt do this to my dog - decided rest is best!

    went out last night with hunter1 and his whippet dog fly (in picture). perfect conditions and a few rabbits about. we'd caught 9 rabbits and fly was ahead by 2. moved fields and was fly's slip - he had a crackin course on a rabbit with the rabbit getting away by turning back and jumping over him - fly came back to Hunter1 and then it was ned's slip.

     

    we noticed fly was hanging back on the lead - the bag was heavy enough so we called it a day. when we got back to the car fly collapsed - we took him to vets and he passed away a few hours later. the vet reckons he'd either taken a bang to the head (but we didnt see anything happen like that) or some sort of brain tumour

     

    fantastic dog - will be missed by all

  4. hi guys

    got back from work today and let the dog out the pen, she started running around the garden like a divvy and ripped her stopper pad pretty bad, its kind of ripped in half

    problem is im in the lamping comp and i am running my heat next week,

    is there anything i can do to make it heal quick?

    can i stick it back together with something?

    (

     

    i've a wippet who cut its stopper on tin sheeting - i left it for a couple of mths (using padding etc) it looked like it had healed fine but first run it split open again - havent run it since last season but everytime i'm out this season i'll tape it up cos its only a thin layer of skin - hope you have better luck with it

  5. just nipped out for a mooch with the dogs, caught three rabbits in the first field - thought it was going to be a good night....tooka long walk over the hill - just to find it was lit up like blackpool illuminations - every man and his dog was on my good patch of land! ah well thats hunting for you!

  6. Not been on for a while - been doing a lot of fitness training with thedogs - getting up at 6 to take them running etc. am just running the one dog tess at the moment

     

    started season on monday and had 4 out of 6 runs. when out on wednesday and had another 6 rabbits, when out last night - the moon was v bright & had another 6, all in all a good start
