I wasn't ever going to comment on this thread ever , I wasn't prepared to say anything about the breed or the men although I've seen a few run and know a lot of the men mentioned including victor gh

They are what they are..just a lurcher at the end of the day,some shit & some good,some were exceptional,they were purpose bred lamp dogs capable of running & catching big hauls of gear almost every night..there was/is no doubt dogs of their equal out there for night time hunting,if you're one of the few who has had or has one of those then in my opinion make good of what you have because such dogs don't come around to often..i was a hardcore lamping man for over 30 years out lamping big numbers 4/5 times per week weather permitting & my own Minshaw bred dogs served me well,they weren't flashy in looks or running style but they put gear in the bag & lots of it..like i said they are just lurchers nothing more & nothing less but with engines in them capable of repetitive running night after night unlike any other type ive ever personally witnessed ?

All i can say is that they , float my boat , and still do. The feet on Stan I put down to bull influence, a big dog takes some stopping an his feet suffered. However, I have gone back to the "well" and , am more than pleased with my present two.

Like i said there will be dogs of their equal and even better Matty,ive personally not seen their equal but that doesn't mean there isn't ?

.the Saluki types i own and the one's i seen run couldn't,wouldn't & never will be in the same league as them & that's the gods honest truth..just one dog i owned and he wasn't the best in his 18 best nights he killed over 400 hares,i ain't heard of a Saluki or any other type match such a feat have you? Like i said that dog wasn't my best,i gave him away to my brother lol

Fuji going back many years would that have been you boys in the then Shooting News with big rabbit and hare bags? Dogs looked very monga like lol. There was more hares then than now for sure can mind seeing 30s in fields wi lamp in some spots. Lamping in its infancy back then. The keepers not long after that era started shooting massive numbers at night. Remember going to one place and see couple hundred hung up awaiting game dealer. My heart sunk all I could think was what a waste of all that sport. Does anyone know if the big daytime hare drives still take place?
