    I think he means they have started cutting the wheat, not lads driving the land, (with the tyre marks) I assume that’s what you was getting at?

    I’ve never had a saluki pup with puppy fat on them. And I’ve found Salukis feet are longer and not as tight as other lurchers.. they probably have the best feet of all too.. but with regards to the actual question asked; I take mine out from a very early age. Bushing, mouching about, etc.. I would intentionally lamp a rabbit until about 11/12 months old, but I would have expected them to have seen and chased plenty of rabbit just much about in the day time,

    I’ve found that with my first cross beddy/whippet. Hasn’t got the speed to catch most rabbits, especially if they have a 50/60 yard start.. she has more success on the lamp but that’s to be expected. Great little bushing dog though and ferreting with the nets… she wouldn’t catch many without the nets though.

    Like most have said on here.. roe and muntjac populations have exploded.. I see them most days even just on urban dog walks, let alone going looking for them.

    It’s funny how they can thrive in one place then struggle in others.. I used to go to a place in the Yorkshire dales rabbiting. The place was full of rabbits.. I remember catching 20 rabbits one day without ferrets, which is amazing coming from the fens.. I’ve never caught that many in one season down here let alone one day.. now, 15 years later you don’t see a rabbit on that area… but I’ve now found big numbers about 2 or 3 miles up the road.. you would assume it would have to be disease to completely wipe an area out .

    I had it done a few years ago.. was less than £100 but vets vary so much.

    It dosnt matter what anyone says on here regarding the price… the only person who will tell you the correct price is your vet.

    I had a dog bred down from lucky.. he was a very good dog also… you’ve not picked the best video though.. chasing hares in the snow hardly favours the hare.. get one on the winter wheat.. that’s a real test.

    I clip mine… some say you should hand strip but I prefer to clip

    Lurcher/long dog it’s just splitting hairs… coursing dogs are mostly saluki x greyhound but there still called a lurcher by pretty much 99% of people… at then the end of the day, there all mongrols or cross breeds…. A purpose bred cross breed, but still a cross breed.

    Same dogs, but I was a bit younger here.

    Stick them on here mate.. it’s nice to see… mine was probably about 30 years ago, I’m about 13 in that picture I’d say.

    There were got from Manchester… the dark one was 3/4 grey x 1/4 collie…. The rough one was some sort of beddy/grey….both decent but the pups from them were very good hare and rabbit killers… I never had fox or deer as I didn’t come across them back then.

    As a kid I don’t think I realised what I had on my door step ….

    Just came across this old pic from when I was a bit younger… sire, dam and daughter.

    It’s maybe not needed.. but I like it. I think it’s adds a bit of extra quality… I’ve got both, with and without, and I like it, especially in strong winds.

    I’ve never seen a 3/4 bred bull, but I’ve seen a pure bull and half/cross bull/greyhounds, and from what I’ve seen the bigger taller bull/greyhounds are better at drawing and killing that a pure bull.. so if the 3/4 bull has a bit more leg than a pure, I could see it been pretty handy. The taller dogs seem to shake a lot harder at the quarry is off the ground.. saying that, I’ve only seen one pure bull work.

    I think the best quality comes from ‘master hunter’ nets.. give them a try, we’ll worth the money.., especially with the leaded bottom line.
  19. moonlighter
    I’ve seen some fast dogs not even get a bend out of roe deer.. I’ve not run a lot of fallow so of the few I’ve seen and caught I can’t comment much..
  20. moonlighter
    Why does it have to do something that a collie cross can’t?? Just because a different dog is used.. it’s not because the original dog is inferior… if you wanted a fox dog you could use a Weaton/greyhound….. that’s not because the bull/greyhound is no good, it’s just a different type of dog.

    We’ve got a few Chinese in Lincolnshire around me, but nowhere near as many as muntjac…. Maybe they don’t breed as well, or maybe because they are much easy to catch or shoot than a munty?
  22. moonlighter
    I looked out of curiosity… it’s like any other p***y video… shite.. it’s just a load of arguments and pointing and wobbly camera footage ?
  23. moonlighter
    Can they fit cameras in private woods, without the land owner’s consent.? Or are they just used on woods with public access.
  24. moonlighter
    Great story… I too have been filmed and accused of digging badgers. Staying calm is the best approach although this can offen seem hard… but an argument can lead to all sorts of trouble, especially if you have a gun on your persons or close by in a vehicle.

    I use a similar feed.. 80/20. It’s really good stuff
