Unless the estate has sold the stalking, then the deer are often fair game, and down here, a lot of shoots, cull the hares, to hopefully deter trespassers... No, its got to be a favour, for a favour, or I ain't bashing no bushes... exactly most of my per mission comes through keepers and farmers that neighbour the shoot, its deffo favour for favour ? and its also keeps the dogs alert , anyway don't think I know one lurcher owner that has always been on the right side of the fence ? lol 1 Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,736 Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Too right... Most lurcher boys have HAD to poach,..there was never any other way... 3 Quote Link to post

You meet all sorts of interesting folk, and if you act respectfully,... the invites to have a run, ....soon come in.. Refreshing attitude. Many modern keepers are as keen on lurchers as they are shooting and wont deny themselves the full richness of British fieldsports because of prejudices from centuries gone. There's a lot to be gain for an open minded dogman with a similar view. Too much sport to be had in the UK and abroad to be handicapped by prejudice. 1 1 Quote Link to post
