Over the course of a month that same or similar scene was photographed with similar numbers of rabbit and various other bits of game with that lad and various mates in the picture, some of them from Cumbria other Lincolnshire. In one of the photos there is a heap of dead foxes to the right and behind the old landi bone shaker.

I never heard how he got on with his half-bred, but that minshaw bred dog was one of the best game produces I've seen, a testament to breed and conditioning.

The minshaw dog was a direct son of Vicks blue and the black dog in the pic was my mates lamping partners dog and was a minshaw cross collie greyhound, both dogs put some gear away in there time. He did well with the half bred , for a solid built dog I was surprised by how fast it was and I seen it run on a few things, i have quite a few old pics. But my mate is a private fella so best left in my albums.

? Taken a lot of rabbits over the last 60 years with various working dogs,....but, under the spotlight,..I would think that 78 with my Sadie , back in the 1980's would be the most that I've grassed in

try again.. 63 taken the night before ....took this pic before we set off ferreting

It's not allways about numbers. Not to long ago, I was lucky enough to be invited to the Cairngorms for a weekend, by Northernlite and Taysider. We had a fantastic time, but one naysayer moc

I gave up the Lurcher game in the nineties for a couple of reasons.

Since then i have been lucky that through circumstances and contacts i have had invites for various other things both here and abroad.

I got the big game hunting bug for a while and amassed a collection of taxidermy in the process.                                                                                                                                         I have had brilliant Salmon fishing, I have the right to a 3 mile stretch of river. I got the carp bug again for a while and had some great captures . I also had some fantastic salt water fly fishing in hot climes. I have enjoyed it all and I still take the occasional person out Stalking, I run a few trips for geese and driven wild boar in Poland/east Europe.  At the end of the day. if I never hunted again it would not matter as I have hunted and fished enough, but I will keep going until they nail the lid down.

I've been lucky enough to have been invited to do all sorts of hunting and fishing all around the world, but one invite stands out, and it was just a couple of hundred miles down the road.

A pal invited me to have a go at goose shooting one September first.

Four shots and a greylag, a Canada and a brace of mallard in the bag !

Please forgive the fuzzy pics, it was pre-digital cameras ! 

My pal was amazed, he reckoned people pay hundreds of pounds for goose shooting and don't manage a bag like that all season, never mind in one morning!

Right place, right time and a bit of luck, I reckon ! ?

Cheers.
