  1. I'll have to pop over to the criminal assets bureau auction in Lincolnshire this year LOL.
  2. Hares and deer are the two nicest tasting meats though some birds are good too. Almost any game is better than farmed meat IMHO. Broiler chicken and the like have had the flavour bred out over the years.
  3. I was only joking about the cars but know exactly what you mean about the eyesight issue.I still do fine with the blitz but do struggle a small bit with my LED torch. It's pretty bright but somehow just doesn't show things up so well. Shame really as it fits in a pocket like the blitz never would.
  4. Do you find these days, that at the end of a night you sideswipe several parked cars on the way home too? (Or maybe that's just the end of night stiffener kicking in).
  5. I've seen lamps with the filter hinged to the front and I reckon if a filter's needed that'd be the way to go.
  6. Me too. Most of the time I could get a rough idea what he was on about and he did some interesting threads. All the stuff about meeting up with people for a fight because they didn't agree with his opinion, well that was just silly but he certainly helped keep the forum lively.
  7. Get it sorted. I've had a dog lose the permanent tooth in this situation.
  8. Looks a belter that! A whippet would never pull that in.?
  9. Is the trout fishing good at the moment in Derbyshire. I've heard it usually is.
  10. I bet I can get a better one blacky. Mine was out working all summer, at least once a month. Must have got at least 6 rabbits (singlehanded too).
  11. Has the makings of a week long arguement.?
  12. It's best to start by switching to white light to run the dog. If the dog is one of those that realise they can still see a bit in the red you can start to switch for appropriate short runs, especially on squatters. To begin it needs patience as it's hard to tell if the dog can really see the rabbit. (He can smell it) I find juggling lamp, filter and slip awkward so mostly don't use a filter. Has anyone a good hinge system for the filter?
  13. Get off your ass and try it out Sandy. I'm interested in your feedback.?
  14. Any idea how the others turned out? They were 7/8 greyhound weren't they?
  15. Same here here. She looks a belter.
  16. It's good to see the pups grow and have pick of litter too but in my case it aint practical. Something like jigsaw's litter off of here was a great option for the lads that got pups. I got my current young one from a family of dogs I'd been following the progress of and I'm pleased enough with him.
  17. I live in a small council house with four running dogs. I've bred pups before and would again but not in these circumstances, besides which, unless your bitch is a bit special you could probably buy better than you could breed if you look around carefully.
  18. Not long in myself with the young dog. Took him for an hour or so and he got a couple which are now skinned, jointed, and in the freezer.
  19. What age is he Redace? I've got a pup bred like that, just coming up to 12 months of age and looking v. similar. I thought he must have something like that in his breeding because of the rough hair over his shoulders.
  20. Hope they're not totally gone. It'll be a bit sad if they are. Just before Christmas I found a pile of various carcasses including hares, just shot and dumped in the brambles in one of the blocks. Why would anyone lamp stuff with a rifle just to dump it, mindless b*****ds.(I'm presuming it was lamped). Can't see what enjoyment was in that.
  21. Did you poke around the lowland forestry blocks? In this kind of weather they seem to go down off the hill into sheltered places. I think they don't like the rain much.
  22. Watch out for the hobs fighting when they become sexually mature. You may ned to separate them or get them castrated.
  23. Hancock the lurcher breeder was never an "old colonel". That's a different David hancock which with your lack of knowledge of the prices of his pups is making you sound like a liar.
