as a kid whippet lurchers were all I knew ,most were crossed with any old cur ,but all did a tidy job, and all pups were bought and sold locally same with ferrets and pigeons ?
the backstabbing snotty red coated b.....ds double standards or what ? they aint so fekcing innocent therselves and need to be more careful what they put out or some of there illegal stuff could be brought to light and that would really be something for the antis eh ?

exactly most of my per mission comes through keepers and farmers that neighbour the shoot, its deffo favour for favour ? and its also keeps the dogs alert , anyway don't think I know one lurcher owner that has always been on the right side of the fence ? lol
ha ha I didn't learn the trade from the right side of the fence either ,and I still think the grass is greener on the dark side ? lol my lurchers learnt to pick up what was knocked of the perch on a windy night ? and remember some of the best gamekeepers were once poachers and still are ? lol
there used to have big hare shoots in our area where they once thrived ? hence they are now scarce because of morons like the knob in the photo.its also not unusal to come across a field of the rotting carcasses of rabbits where they have been rifled at night and just left where there shot ?great ammo for the antis I must say ?
