I’ve never had a problem finding friends to take care of my animals, and I’d say I’ve done more than average amount of travelling. Ive never been without a dog since I was 13, and I hope I still have a dog when my time is up. Cheers. Charts I put more miles in than a lot cost me a marriage numerous relationships jobs and thousands in dogs and fuel but with all the new builds and ground being eaten up then anpr and cars took your being treated worst than a rapist for running a hare a lot of good lads packed up they don't need the grief im referring to your passion statement and not about going on your jollys as there's always someone to see to your dogs friends or family as you know Edited June 20, 2023 by Blackmag 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Youre right, of course, it’s getting far to hot for daytime coursing now, with the draconian punishments, which is why I do far more lamping than daytime now, but there is something special about seeing a running dog behind a hare, roe or fox daytime .

Cheers. I take my hat off to you Charts and I admit to my enthusiasm for owning and working another lurcher is practically non existent back in the day I lived for it putting it before my family and work. I know if I were to get another lurcher and seeing as I don't have permission and the rise of roe deer numbers locally the temptation would be to great sadly I have resigned myself to the fact old age and being knackered due to a physical working life and also now being a non law breaking member of society my day's poaching and running the quantlet are just a memory and I have resigned myself to the fact part of me has died never to be reborn or live again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
