Yeah but this simple fuckers sayin that you can't bring a pup on or young dog three week away from September FFS. Last night wasn't so bad weather with that wind we had. Like a said some lads have mentioned ferreting but alot of young about. A don't see any chew been given to them. I mentioned one night out due to wind being up. MC puts a pic up. The HTL hits the roof

Banger , 3 weeks can make a big difference to a 3/4 . And when good men mention September.  They mean with young dogs and end of September for adults when ground is also softening . Auld stick hutcheson used to call me on a Friday night harping on about the fools busting wicks and ligaments for what . Daft hares . There's sportsmen and there's fools . It's not rocket science

September is usually still hard huge cracks still like you say the drilled after a shower is sound  for the Pups

Dog on left a young coursing bred type , 9 months old , grew into a very measured calm all round dog , definitely my best dog for chasing hares.  Again lucky back to a quick jank travellers bred day dog.

dog on the right is my favourite ever dog . I never got any nice pics of him , but he was truly a dog of a lifetime. Saluki bull grey back to a minshaw lamping dog . Rough and ready and could go at anything , day and night . He was an absolute oil painting and he was as game as they come . Was the epitome of a desperate killer , broke toes , teeth , feet and his shoulder . Still caught day hares with a broken toe on the plough. 
Put that dog the ringer and came out wanting more. I was young and daft and when he finally said no mas at 6 years old and died on his shield in the field, it broke my heart .

Yes mate . He was slightly under that , 
But bigger than 27. 

he was a lovely dog to have about as it sounds cocky but he was f***ing lightning quick. Like after thirty yards his turbo would kick in and he would shut them down like a track grey. I got a perverse satisfaction on holding him as long as possible on the rope as the hare would bobble into the distance with all my pals screaming to let him off. I stopped free hunting him and held him for slips that advantaged the hare rather than him . 

another funny thing is that he had an unusual name and I’ve heard his name mentioned a few times at shows as being in the lineage of dogs there. He isn’t as I purposefully don’t breed him as I wanted something special to put him to and I never found it . In reality I had the perfect bitch for him under my nose in his kennel mate , and once I realised , it was too late

You could say that mate yes!! 
 

i knew victor and a lot of the lads who kept them. They weren’t for me , I was into both day and night running, but for night they were a sight to behold . I seen some of the very best dogs in the uk as a young man. It’s very very strange for me to read some things in here as I saw some extremely well known lurchers , both day and night mentioned regularly and twenty five years ago they were just dogs in the kennels of our little gang.

at the time were always looking how to keep better and stronger dogs . It’s genuinely baffling .

How did he run just keep gearing up trying using test raw speed or could settle use his head aswell ? 

My cream is similar I slip on  a roe it's like the roe is stuck in the mud going backwards lads don't believe me but I've seen coursing breds on the land  smoke greys

As I said he would tear up to them as quickly as possible and settle , but if he could kill quick he would. 

he could also find and stalk them in big fields of rushes which was my favourite way , letting him find them himself and figuring it out.
