Barry Crump was a very good writer, he hunted crocodiles, wild boar, and everything in between.

"A sporting chance" by D Mannix is also good - all sorts of hunting covered, including a chapter on Badger digging.

Very easy to slag off a dead man, fact is plummer love him or hate him was an intelligent man bulshitter to a point very true. But he didnt rely on overpriced dvds to present his case. Why some of the extreme cyber hunters on this site hate him so much defeats me, jealousy perhaps. :icon_eek:

hello do ya all not think its just in a name a mate of mine that only lives down the road could have had the same reputation he had some excellent dogs over the years and he could tell ya some stories.thats all plummer did and took advantage of this with going round to game fairs and stuff.at the end of the day he is just the bloke down the road who thinks he knows it all but when you ave been around for years then you should.

I've said my peace on the man on the last thred about him, what I would say to you Bulcher is that Plummer was hated ( a 'strong' word, if ever there was one!) by 'some' long, long before his demise. :yes:

And why is it that anyone that sticks up for plummer is labelled sychophantic :hmm:. Love or hate the man he did have an impact on the lurcher game....some of the criticism is way over the top...I think most if not all writers even the modern day one's are prone to "artistic license"...makes sales better...after all no one wants to buy a book that goes along the lines of...went out lamping caught 4 rabbits came home went to bed :bye:

Why is it that the mere mention of plummer or hancocks name evokes the worst feelings of the lynch mob on this site, and gets you labelled as a syncophant because you voice your opinion. Its two people that were known figures in the lurcher world that were talking about, not bloody hindley and brady. Methinks i hit a raw nerve in certain quarters. :boogie:

I'll telll you issues mate, he bummed up dogs like what the pupy peddlars do ,and a whole generaition of young lads thought he was some real hunting guy then when you found out you had been had you have issues ,look at merle all the rest of the shite but when you grow up youre book wrtier isnt the man you thought he was , it was a sales gimmick,all the dogs were merle mostly and a lot were not much cope , to this day ille not own a merle dog ,he was a feching twat , and a pure liar , and put any other writer down who were real deals or came near to show him for what he was , thats why alot who were brought up in the eighties dont like the man
