99% of the lads that are at the terrier and lurcher game in their teens soon lose interest and move on in life, but for some it is a way of life and no other life will do!
I’m not sure what it is that grips hold, but it must be from deep within the ‘hunting’ gene still being strong.
My Mam always says if she knew how deep I’d get myself with dogs she would have never let me have one as a kid ?
But at the same time, most of the lads I grew up with have gotten themselves onto a different and wrong path, so maybe being out in the fields ain’t such a bad thing?
