Looks like a few good days hunting, anyone going.

We don't get much snow, but this was a big fall we got before Christmas.

The usual suite, no change there. You did well to last tye 15 minutes (as the actress said to the bishop) Jigsaw.

Was it any good Jigsaw?

I started off with my cousin, who is a few year older than me. My first memory of him is coming up the road with 3 or 4 terriers after a mornings hunting. He arrived into his house, opened a tin of ambrosia rice with a knife and eat it out of the tin, and headed back off hunting. He still keeps beagles and terriers 40 years later and most young lads in our estate have hunted with him at some stage. I got my first terrier of him when I was about 8. I was also lucky enough to meet a few good lads along the way that helped me out with terriers and digging

Cui bono? All herds in Ireland must be tested every 12 months. Who does the testing? You give an animal a vaccine thats one visit. You test an animal every 12 months for its lifetime, how many visits would that be for a cow?

Great guy to deal with, sound out.

Thanks Topper, fair play to you

Great posts, pics and information Topper, thanks for sharing. You seem to be having success with it and I wish you all the best with it. What fell line and bedlington line did you use if you don't mind me asking. Thanks

I always like this picture, in the days before the helmet and he went back on to play after being stitched up. Game or what?

That's the job, always good to have a few pups coming on. She looks to be made for the job, hopefully she will do the business for you.

She's a beauty, fine strong looking bitch. Best of luck with her.

Haha love it.

The smell of wild garlic in a woodland. The whirring of the wrapper during silage season. It brings a smile to my face for some reason? How lucky are we to have experienced these sights and sounds. There are many who will never know them.

I love the sound of the curlew on a winters evening, the sound piercing the cold air. A snipe rising. The cuckoo, a rare sound around here which makes it even more pleasurable, when you do hear one. A goldfinch twittering in flight. A bullfinch pipping going from tree to tree along a ditch. A vixen calling in the still of the night. The sounds of hounds in full cry, echoing along a valley.

5 months old and starting to shape up nicely. Good temperament and easy to kennel, not like the two black fuckers I have, haha

Sure there was only ever good things came from the northside, bowlers hurlers, boxers, soccer stars, pigeon and bird men, terrier, lurcher and hound men If you don't believe me just ask any northsider, if you have half a day to spare, and the perseverance and patience of a saint. Northsiders are the undefeated olympic and world champions at talking and giving their opinions, haha.

He was a class act, out on his own. Good article Jigsaw, thanks for sharing it.

Denis Scully, I saw him bowl and saw him trying to loft the viaduct in 1984 with a 16 ounce bowl as part of the Cork 800 celebrations. Mick Barry was there the same day he hit the steel on the viaduct but never lofted it. There was a load of Dutch and Germans bowlers, they play a version of it. They were big strong men and they couldn't loft it. You couldn't do it now there were thousands there and the bowls falling from the sky, I don't know how someone wasn't killed.

Thanks for the replies lads. Thanks C556, someone else recommended a compact camera to me as well. Any idea what would be a good one to buy? Thanks

Haha, that's a blast from the past Jigsaw. Great sport and still very popular around Cork, Armagh and other small pockets around the country. They used to even play it around Dagenham, when Cork lads were working in Fords. Some lunatics used to play and attend the scores, you wouldn't get them in a lucky bag, haha. Some big money gambled both on the stake and on the road. I often saw thousands on a stake for the big scores and the same gambled on the road. And that was when a pound was a pound. They always started and finished scores at a pub, which was very handy for the alcoho
