I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about Bill, take a breath, calm down and concentrate on typing. Why not just enjoy your dogs and your ways of doing things without inflicting your opinions on us and having a dig at anyone who disagrees with you. It's getting boring. And no, I don't want to come up north and get involved in your craziness.
-
Everything I've heard about them makes me think they would suit what I do. The proof will be in the pudding though.
-
I've said it before on here, my next lurcher will be a lab x. Won't be for a while yet but will happen.

I caught this chap on 3 sweetcorn my ultra light spinning rod yesterday, landing him was a challenge but it shows what a little rod can do
-
I have quite a few rods but my favourite, and the one I've caught most on, is a really light 5'6" 4 piece. Spinmatic by daiwa I think. I've caught pike, perch, roach, chub, carp, tench, trout, bass, wrasse, Pollack and mackerell on it. Mostly on soft plastics but have fished bait on it too. Being a 4 piece it packs down to nothing too so you can be subtle about where you go

I'm already subscribed mate, bloody good channel. Made up a load of feathers after watching your video too. I look forward to watching some more

The weather was crap but we had a go anyway. Didn't blank but it was slow fishing. Paddled to the pub for a decent lunch which helped dry us out a bit

I shall be taking my canoe onto the tidal arun aiming for pike or perch on ultralight soft plastics or spinners. I have a well known Welshman from this site down for the weekend to shoot his first roebuck so he will be joining me too!

It's exactly the same when I go up to see Owain, my dogs aren't used to covering that sort of distance without me. I wouldn't want them to either to be honest, if they did it at home they'd be crossing roads and all sorts! We also have alot more cover and game here, no chance of being able to see them a k away and not much chance of them going that far without bumping something. I like to have at least a vague idea of where they are and what they are doing lol

My favourite coarse fish by far

I don't think it ends debate, it would be nice if it ended the crabbing of anything different to what people personally know but thats probably a bit much to ask lol. There's plenty to talk about, I love hearing about other people's hunting. I quite often travel about to experience it too. That's how I know that different crosses, training / entering methods etc give different results tailored to the hunting of the owner. I've been places where my dogs were made look silly by the locals and I've had dogs out with me that made hard work of what mine do as a matter of course. How much

Cracks me up how blinkered some can be. We all hunt in different ways on different terrains in different parts of the country, how can a man at one end the country comment on whether or not a particular cross is any good elsewhere? A dog thats suits me here would be no good for someone who's hunting an open moor and nor would I want a dog that excels at hunting a long distance out. Doesn't mean either is no good just not necessarily suited to the local terrain. A lurcher is alot of things to alot of people, they aren't one tricks ponies and different tasks suit different crosses. How

It was a pretty epic hunt, we'd been out since dawn and climbed up to the opposite side of the valley. We'd had a few roaring but nothing we could get close to. This guy replied once then came crashing in, could see his antler tops coming up the hill towards us above the fern and he was roaring all the way. He appeared at 20m but i could only see his back end, my mate took the shot and the stag was so pumped he didn't even notice but kept coming up the deer trail i was on. I shot him again at about 5m and dropped him. He was so close I didn't even use the scope just eyed down the barrel like a

We had to cross this valley on the way to the tops every hunt. It was steep as but that somehow made it more fun
-
This is a public land stag we shot on my trip. No massive trophy but something I will never forget
-
Would you consider using your dog as stud over a greyhound or coursing dog dam? In my mind I feel that the dam gives more shape so you might avoid too much clodiness but keep the desirable lab traits
-
I think it depends on what you want from a lurcher, they are different things to different people. I want a mooching dog that can work with bushers and ferrets, have a few runs on the lamp and help me out deer stalking and maybe even pick up the odd shot bird. I think a lab x would suit me. If I wanted a dog to do alot of nights on the lamp or big ground I'd be looking for a different x
-
Same here
-
I intend my next lurcher to be a lab x, I've posted about it before. There's quite a good thread about it if you do a search.

Cheers lads. I think I've decided to take the van to stay in and spend the money i would've spent on the bed chair on a string of crab pots! For what it's worth I'd pretty much settled on the cyprinus super xxl one for £140 on eBay. Seemed the most bed for your buck I could find!
-
I've got a week away coming up, got a campsite booked and planning on sea fishing from shore and kayak. As space isnt an issue I fancy something comfy to sleep on rather than the floor. A bed chair looks ideal. Anyone got any suggestions?
-
Yeah it looked like a dream job, being dropped off by schooner into deserted islands to hunt as many pigs as you want and being paid for it! I could cope with that
-
I can totally relate to what you said, Kurt is fast through the bush and not interested in waiting lol. Getting lost out there would easy to do and hard to live down. I really enjoyed the pig hunting when I was there but we were mostly on foot or the quad rather than the truck. We caught a few pigs but no big boar like yours
-
Brilliant write up mate, I'm very pleased it all worked out so well. You write very well, makes me feel very slack that I've barely written anything about my trip ? I'm looking forward to the next installment
-
Good to see you caught up with them again Liam. Glad the forestry didn't manage to wipe them out
