  1. I reckon the saluki would have sh*t itself.
  2. Please please do. The anthropologist in me is getting rather excited !
  3. We get the same. Do find it’s the easiest permission to get oddly. If you’re responsible and good that is.
  4. That is just about the truth of it isn’t it mate.
  5. Also you’d have liked Hungary. Sitting on the main bus back into town, terrier on leads, shovels and bars, gun in a slip and covered in mud. All of the old ladies asking how we’d got on ?
  6. I just like an adventure mate. You only live once.
  7. To be fair it would be nice to hear some interesting stories about hunting, rather than just “Salukis are better than bull xs”, “whippets are shit”, “you’re a knob” “nah nah nah nah”. I for one would deffo love to read about someone’s experiences in North Africa, Russia etc hunting with dogs.
  8. I meant haven’t done feck all hunting in different countries. Or assumedly I would have had a bit more info / advice.
  9. As long as we are all happy with our dogs mate, that’s what counts. I tend to measure myself against myself, but others. I mean.... it would be pretty unfair on them to do that ?
  10. I put a post up a while ago looking for and recommendations, suggestions for a European trip. Had just about f**k all, so from that I assume most folk haven’t done feck all ? Have hunted in France, Spain, Slovakia /Poland and Hungary.
  11. To be fair you are mostly going to be right on but open land on big slips. They are just a faster windier dog, but I’ve caught enough with bull blooded dogs to not worry too much about the ones I’ve missed. This pup is fast, but she won’t have the wind of my saluki x dog, however she’s sharp and clever as f**k and that counts for a lot on a lot of ground. And hey, got to give the quarry a chance or there’d be nothing left ?
  12. Least up there you don’t have neighbours getting in a right flap ?
  13. All I’m saying is folk saying antlers will fall of October / November and that pick was taken after mid November 2020. As much as you do try to dig at my dogs on here sometimes mate, you can’t really cos you know what they can do and there wouldn’t be a lot of pups on here that have managed what she has.
  14. I love the internet experts. Roe deer antlers off by October ? No chance in November ? 17th November
  15. I’ve never seen one either mate, and I may be wrong and it’s a seven. But I’m hoping he is an eight!
  16. Some roe are deffo a lot better than others. I see a lot of folk running does early season and juvenile stuff. Does want to be left till November really. But maybe that’s just me.
  17. It’s down to the deer mate. Been watching two roe bucks by mine, one still in velvet and one in hats antler. Got a lovely one, I think it’s an eight pointer. He is beautiful.
  18. Good roe bucks only really want to be killed April - October. Problem is the hard ground.
  19. Don’t take this the wrong way. But I assume you’re talking roe and fallow does. Just the way you talk about stuff being easy and soft. Not knocking you or your dogs, but there is huge variety, within deer species, just like dogs. Some have a lot more fight than others. Even with roe, some fold up and die and some kick and thrash about like f**k, some are slower and hit fences and some are faster, clear hedges, Jump the dog and use all the tricks to get away. Amazing creatures.
  20. Had a few munty buck related slashes to dog's, had a roe buck try to skewer a bitch with its spikes, and think that I had a dog killed by a boot to the head off a fallow. Can be a dangerous and if you do enough you usually meet something that doesn’t go down without a fight!
