No matter what your feelings on the subject, if that lads dog had caught them (instead of the lad shooting them) then that dog would have done very, very well indeed and I would be the first to say thats a top night and some good work for your dog.

 

 

 

Not looking to stir up a hornets nest Scent but surely everyone who knows anything about running dogs knows that the lads dog has had to work to an extermely high standard to amass those? Why does it always resort to daytime v night time? Christ everyone knows that you ain't gonna catch that many in the day but you could say the same about ANY quarry? If it's not your cup of tea then why not just ignore the topic? I just feel there is so much anymosity on these forums towards certain types of hunting? At the end of the day the lad was out in not the greatest of conditions (full moon) so plenty light enough and his dog Gaffer retrieved a fantastic haul..give credit where credits due,there is way to many talkers and not enough doers on here (not stating you as i hear on the doggy grapevine that you do your share) but no wonder we here in the UK are in the shit we are regarding hunting..talk about unity...most wouldn't know the meaning of the word!!!

Very true, it was like daylight at midnight and stuff was very thin on the ground........dont know what it was like where this lad was, but it was very hard going local to me.

 

Yep,had a look myself Wilf and my mutt worked it's socks off to catch 25 bunnies last night,it wasn't too bad to be honest where i was,pretty light but we had a bit of drizzle and a good wind blowing but further South conditions weren't as good? There must be some easy pleased lurcher owners on THL because if anyone catches a decent haul of whatever it's always "why,what's the point,no need" and such like..it's the dogs that catch the gear that i want my dogs bred off...the majority on here must like their lurchers bred off an oven door and a labrador because they don't seem to like dogs/owners who catch good hauls lol.

now that he has made his point he might be a bit more sporting the next time he goes out

well done for getting out there and doing sum lurcher work poachers pocket fair play

[johnny boy68 11,726]

I look at it like this.......on mainland Britian its illegal!

 

Would a shop-lifter look down on another shop-lifter because he nicked a mars bar a different way.

well done,last night was a full moon and it was like daylight,we where working on the railway tracks outside birmingham and didnt need a light in some places so them hares must of been equivalent to day time hares,

Genuine question here mate,if you were in the market for a lurcher and had the chance to buy the Gaffer dog which has proven it's capable of doing a feat such as this or ANY "ordinary" lurcher that has caught the odd bunny and such on the odd occasion it's been taken out,ifboth were for sale for the same money which would you go for?

I always want to chuck as much as I can at the dog (if I think the time is right and it can handle it), plenty of easy stuff early.......then as it gets better/older try and keep pushing the boundrys.........I dont know of any other way to know what you are feeding.

Sometimes, its like last night, soul destroying but you keep saying "one more field, one more field" and your work is cut out but you dont get work for the dog stuck in doors........

why slate others on something you dont do then?genuine question,

[WILF 49,440]

i switch the lamp off if one gets up

 

And in some places, that would be exactly the right thing to do because you would break a dog on certain land with that amount, but if they were there to be caught then I say, make hay while the sun shines.......historically speaking of course.
