This topic has had me wondering from the start as to why the feck start a topic asking where and how someone is then cnuting them off within a few pages?, to be honest it's the way of a dark minded man.....

Pure beeds where would you be without them ?

I've caught hares with a 10 ft stop net and a jack russell more than once in the past,a dog that can't catch a hare will run it out the filed in the same place many times and on mooches in the past this has happened and iv'e gone back and netted it after the russell has chased it as a hare is a creature that uses the same runs over and over again.. -

And that's why a dog is no good for filling a pot with hares for a hunter/gatherer type fella and other game is far easier to catch, that is why saluki's and all the other coursing dogs were bred for sport and not as pot fillers...A hare is to much of a animal to aim at with a dog just for a smallish dinner,has been and always will be and hence why coursing dogs were and are these days bred for sport.. The saluki x maybe the best there is but that's not anything to do with the history of coursing as such and killing hares is a different sort of coursing.. -

A lurcher has and always will be a poor thing to use to catch a hare and a snare is far more effective and quieter for the poaching man and catching other things far out wieghed having a hare killing dog ..The saluki was bred for the sport of coursing and not to kill hares and from them the sport of coursing and the dogs bred for the sport travelled to the rest of the world...That is the history of coursing mate .... -

No coursing dog has ever been bred to kill hares,it's you lads that want them to kill hares that breed them to kill hares. Coursing and killing hares are totaly different sports.. -
I myself wouldn't worry about birds hearing others birds as such as it happens in the wild all the time and every day,what i would try to do is screen from sight the different pairs and even some scaff netting will make a screen of sorts but if that was impossible to do then i'd just let them be in there seperate flights and see what happens..

Lets keep this all calm and grown up but there's a few members who have for the last few weeks or months just been trying to provoke the mods or generaly moaning about the site rather than doing anything about improving things, mchull was last night kicking it till it broke and i could see what he was doing from the start of him posting and you all have to be a bit daft to not see it yourselves. I thought Paulus was patient with him and did the right thing to stop another bollocks ridden thread, if folk want to improve things around her then get on with it and improve things with decent thread

I'm sure you just need to have some benefit help on housing rent rather than be fully on the dole,but a very good call anyway Smithie..

The thing with a aviary is you can sort of chuck in a canary hen or two if the cock is a egg pecker and that'll take his randy little mind else where,plus you get the bonus of a mule or two.. Good luck with the coming year and keep us informed with pics eh.. ...

It is and it isn't,you can keep a better eye on them in a cage but then they are forced together as such and a rampant cockbird can cause all sorts of bother in a cage. In a aviary there's more for him to do when the hen is sat on eggs and imo a aviary bird will allways be fitter and stronger than a cage kept bird so a better chance of stronger fitter youngsters,,
