  13. ye youle get a few round feeders , at this time of year ,not my seen ,but i suppose its doing them a favour clearing them out , used to do alot of ratting with the greyhounds and mongrel terriers in the early eighties in between coursing hares along the hedgrows sharpend the dogs up ,we had a good few jills for that game ,in winter they had warrens along hedge rows next to carrots and any other root crop ,,hated the things
  14. met some guys from bedlinton once 19 93 had a beddie deerhound cross ,but it was just bought in and no great shakes , yet , never met many away in the hill area , as four wheel drive was a handy tool back then to get away from the normal areas
  15. yep hardly put a net on this time of year unless realy rough ground ,save the dogs a bit ,but if you ned so many or promised you have to do the nessasary
  16. edinburgh capital city tomo ,money ,eastlothain money thats were the rabbits go , i wonder how much fresh caught rabbits at billinsgate london would make , i no what the old salmon and lobsters make down there old hugh fearnley and a few others have done alot to put game rabbits back up there as avery healthy food , alot of body builders going into comps eat only lean meat ,rabbs pheasant etc and its organic , there living to be made being a good middle man and sourcer of fine game meats etc missing out game dealers butchers , if you do it right

  19. ye you soon get cured when they rob you blind its a good leveler ,lucky i have a good few strings to my bow ,and got a TRADE .,and got a good biz head , personaly a rabbit a good hill rabbit is worth three pound end of thats a fair price to get from a butcher as hrhe has to make his bit and restraunts well see there menu price first lol
  20. ye time and tide waits for no man ,grasp it while you can ,there still lots about but more spread out had 42 one day for about six hours ,and got a decent bit of pocket money ,average day now for rabbs on the hill 12 to twenty , but if there a few helpers then more , but you can have an hour on the moor and see what else pops up gd crack a feind of mines one bbc chef of the year we do alot of bizness as the scottish rabbit lol tastes alot better than the frozen french rabbit ,and no shot pellets fresh netted or fetched back the rabbit has made a good come back in restraunts etc and so
  21. bird you would had loved down the scottish borders in the late eighties early ninties , alot of the farms were just grass and a lot got paid for setaside so the rabbits were not checked , so for 5 or 6 years it was great for ferrets dog work day or nite , then the goverment stopped paying them the same for setaside ,then paid them grants to put rabbit netting up box traps etc crazy , late august the feilds moved and the rabbits cued up to get through the gaps in the rabbit netting on some bits ,took 48 of one feild a 100 acre grass feild , there were another 3 400 acres to drive round , b
  22. beardie was always my favorite of the collies the right working beardies but as a lurcher do you need a big furry coat , up on the hill its handy but for chaseing on open arable feilds they used to blow up on a course ,if warm , and if you were not careful it could lead to consequencies ,the furry bears hanckock used to breed were as much good as a chocalate fire gaurd if not cliipped out and fit on a warm nite sep oct ,but in the dead of winter snow up the hills they were hardy dogs and never lossed much condition ,ferreting 2 or 3 days a week in all weathers ,but in a whole you dont need a b
  23. you no when your dogs had enough he misses a few he had twenty minutes earlier , when he is having to dig deep for a rabbit his running stile differs ,time to put on the leash and go home happy ,some lie down for a blow some look for water all signs that you should give him a break ,ive never got a dog in a strict regime for cacthing rabbs ,just trot them side of jeep or over setaside feilds or stubble when they can do a good few miles and get a quick blow then up looking for more youll see there fitness ,coming through , if your on good rabbit land a clever dog in his prime makes it look
  24. forest not saw any genuine good collie lurchers for a while ones that when it was all legal done the lot in stile on good open fast land im not talking knocking afew rabbits ove ri mean tested on open land and busting a gutt then some more ,, not trying to insult , but to me running afew lamped rabbs well doesnty take agreat dog to do that , hopefully im wrong mate and i get the chance to see them be great all the best
