Consistently low numbers of rabbits this year

Got to be honest though. There is little as fecking boring as pinging rabbits with a rifle and night vision -
Consistently low numbers of rabbits this year
Whoknows replied to Luckee legs's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Simple facts are …. There are nationally less rabbits than there were and this number has vern reducing over last decade. Anyone who says different doesn’t get about enough or hasn’t been in the game very long. Lads saying plenty in the dales, never saw the dales when it was lifting. You used to catch 100 and say it was a good day, now 50 is a good day. That’s a big change. The biggest contributor to population loss has been disease. Coupled with the wet and mild winters which means you never break the disease cycle. Chuck in a few nasty snow storms, lads with a .22 an -
Nice walk out. Smart terrier, how’s it bred?

Where are you?

Waiting for one to break this morning

Nothing hunts quite like a good terrier.

He has wheaten in him. He’s only young but coming on well. Not particularly an all rounder.

My kind of dog mate.

Still only a puppy really.

I’m thinking if it

Am I right in thinking it’s a son to mother mating or have I got my wires crossed

Aye I wasn’t being a prick. I’ve just got an animal heavily related to those two pups sat in my kennels. As Andy says it is only a small fraction, I was just saying it’s in there. As well as many other things I thought I recognised that white and black pup, and I should have sussed with the one hairy and one bully. I am sure they will do you proud, will be interested to see how they turn out but I don’t think you’ll have many worries

Chance would be a fine thing. I think my young dog had run maybe 2 or 3 in his life !

That was some wheaten dog.

My effort for the day was weak in comparison

Yes mate. Paddock checked evening before, next morning took dog and gun and went to push a load of cover looking for a fox. Walked through the gate of first paddock, the fox he was looking for was hanging upside down snapping like a good un! Couldn’t make it up hell of a fox that

It’s a funny one. The one bitch, I cried and I cried. She was a good steady dog, I loved her and she was my mate, I wanted her to get fat and sassy in front of the fire. She went everywhere with me. The one dog however, best animal I’ve ever run, never seen or had a dog like him. He was just perfect, might as well have had a gun. From the first time I ever slipped him it was just a case of when and not if. He was amazing but you couldn’t take him for a walk in the daytime. He was a machine created for one thing and one thing only. The kind of dog that howls and screams in the kennel as soon a

My old man called me earlier. He went out to hunt a fox which has been causing bother locally. A great big dog fox. I think probably the easiest hunt he’s ever had.

My mates got a Russel whippet. Old now. Sire to one of my dogs though. He was a machine in his time, came out about 22 “.
