cheers lad. roll on september as im bored

here,s mine.

Im up there weekly Dell and at present the ground is far from spongey the sphagnum moss is dried and deep cracks are appearing in what used to be like walking across a waterbed it was that spongey, not hard to get big bags due to the numbers of rabbits up there but exerting dogs to several runs in the current heatwave shows little respect for the dogs and ferrets Y.I.S Leeview i agree, i got slated in a previous post by the usual no it alls as it is called at this time of year by some "pest control" can be carried out by different method,s.surely snaring or shootin them is preferable
-
great pics its seems its always seems to be new permission for the reason for the "pest control" would ya not think instead of ferreting young rabbits and killing them in their nests that snaring would be a better alternative than bolting to whippets on such hard ground? therefore saving the very young rabbits and saving possible injury for yer dogs?

he is a nice looking dog him. fair play for taking him on have done so myself in the past. imo that dog shouldnt be running anything. once the mange has fully gone put some extra weight on the dog! ie give it some good vitiman supplimants. then walk the dog on the lead for 8 weeks. starting off on 2 mile walks and up to a more vigours 6-8 mile in the later stages of fitness. can do the latter in a 2 or 3 walk per day process. once the dog is bouncing ie ready to get running fit then it shouldnt be running and that dog looks a good bit away. best of luck with him

he is a cracker lad!!! simple as that

Lure coursing - harmless fun or ........
supersam replied to david2363's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
a few lads mentioned that for those that dont hunt in summer months for the sake of not wanting to run their dogs on hard ground is one of the reason i have never lure coursed mine.the other reason is i would get no thrill watching my dog run in a race trying to catch a plastic bag. ok for some that treat it as something to do on the off season but there are many that do nothing else and treat it as a very serious affair and have bred lurchers for such a purpose which for me is the same as showing and it will be the downfall for alot of lurcher breeds. lurchers for me are born to work and lo -

A good pike reel will cost you more than all that Ask a good fisherman he will tell you how to buy.Spend a bit more but it will last and not fall apart first time you use it.atb. Catcher its like most things, you get what you pay for, my main reason for going cheap was incase the lad/myself didn't get into it, so no great loss really, i'm hoping i/ we do, then better tackle will be bought, if it lasts it lasts, but it was a kit, maybe i'd be better buying used gear if your looking for a chaep and cheerful way of starting fishin then a starters mackrel setup would be perfect. g

this a a link i found about laws on bass fishing in ireland. http://www.fishinginireland.info/regulations.htm

cheers lad.the bass fishing in ireland is prob as good now as its ever been. charlie boy had 7 in 7 casts a few years ago.5-7 were over 5lb and 1 over 10lb. a half a dozen fish in a session is quite normal and near all the fish are returned. that 14lb one i got was put back. Are they being commercially hammered where you are? They are here.. I'm not against lads making a living, but some I know take it one step to far. Living in £500,000 houses and driving round in a brand new car every other year.. Heard of one greedy b*****d even tipping his boat over one year not knowing wh

yup ps.seen your tattoo

cheers for the comments lads was the bro that caught that one. i did manage a bigger specimen from the same spot a few years ago. 14lb 2oz

i think that is spot on. a mate of mine studs his pointer and they go for 500-750 quid the pups so thats what he charges for the stud which i think is right. if your breeding we say a saluki and the pups are going to be sold for 500 quid then thats what the stud fee should be. same goes if your stud is a lurcher and pups are 100 quid then 100 quid for the stud. iv always thought it was a pup or price of a pup.

one lick MC,s bitch.little bit of terrier in him. and this one with a little bit of saluki and more whippet and grey.

Brown / rainbow trout, grayling, & coarse fish. But generally on reservoirs, lakes, ponds, and then maybe river. The river around here have quite alot of bank so, in all fairness, I'm going to have to be casting out quite far anyway. Cheers supersam, makes perfect sense what you've said, given me alot to think about no probs lad.its great fun when you get into it
-
are you sure you have figured out the rod and line thing? for trout,grayling and pike. then you can use the same gear for trout and grayling but not pike. a 9-10ft 9-10 weight rod for pike. a 7-10ft 3-6 weight for grayling and trout in rivers depending on the size of river ie how far you will need to cast with ease. lines then a weight forward floating,intermidiate and sinking line for each weight rod.i.e. if you have a 6 weight rod then you need 6 weight line in floating intermidiate e.t.c. and with a pike rod say a 10 weight then you need 10 weight line in all of the above. for river
