Tom, there has always been heavy penalties for "poaching" or "in pursuit of cony", back when most these pics were taken the states would shoot dogs on sight without any warning, most estate owners were men of substance,magistrates,judges,high sheriffs, mp's,etc so pretty much did what they like even shooting you so don't get to carried away with the romantics of it was better back then, I was shot twice in the 60's for being on estate land and my mate was left for dead by 2 coppers and a keeper,they broke his neck and left him in a ditch, even when coursing,etc was legal it wasn't for us lads poaching or without permission, nothing has really changed, you will always get some lads that do as they want regardless of the law, back then in those pics those dogs all earned their keep,they weren't pets, WM

Being left for dead, and getting shot, sounds like the sort of things you hear about people doing to eachother in the streets, glad I'm away over the windy land out the way of all the misery

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born.

A Death Certificate shows that we died.

Pictures show that we live!

Just read this and these words explain why I like a good picture of old times ?

well that comment was slightly far fetched...

 

1. i never mentioned anything about poaching or not paying penalties for poaching

 

2. never said the dogs were pets

 

3. getting shot and left for dead!??!

 

come on mate!! i was simply stating that i would of liked to be around in the past as life seemed much more simple

Heres another old photo plus a link to some old film footage note in the footage the kennel set up(when you had money in those days) and the mode of transport used to exercise the dogs a bit different as opposed to whats available today. http://www.britishpathe.com/video/deer-hounds
