shovel leaner 7,648 Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 I suggest that some of you read this , then once you have learned all you can from Simon King , the master tracker . having tracked and observed the wildlife. Go ahead and kill it . My daughter picked this up in a charity shop and gave it to me . She said it was worth the £1.50 to see the look on my face . I’ve brought her up well and she possesses a great sense of humour. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 7,915 Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Tbh I find most lurcher books very similar and only the escapades when poaching that livened some of them up. I only seem to read books on the African big game hunters of the past these days. I know its not the same as a book but I have one of those kindle reader and find books are a lot cheaper to download to them with just the click of a key. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eastcoast 3,727 Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) If you have not already done so I would highly recommend a read of this. The most interesting book on working terriers ever written IMO. One time he's digging badger at Chequers with his Sealyhams (must have been mates with the PM I assume) in the company of the bishop of Liverpool on 11th November. Come 11:00hrs they down tools to hold a minutes respectful silence for fallen comrades. Now that's an England I would like to have lived in.
