    Some Lurchers are obviously cleverer than others, for instance collie/grey. Some owners have their lurchers trained to a high standard of obedience. But they could not do the job of a gundog like a gundog could (there maybe a freak one out there somewhere). If you watch the dvd's of field trails, these dogs are excellent at their job. Its a bit like using a chiwowwow as a fighting dog instead of a pitbull. (again there maybe a freak one who jumps down the pitbulls throat and chokes him to death) So yes, saluki grey would be shite(as a gundog) But they certainly aint shite on hares, Horses f

    I dont know anything about Red stags, but some 25 yrs ago, I had my 3 quarter grey, quarter saluki. Big 29 inch, strong dog and very fast and very experienced. He had always held every stag single handed. I pulled up at a gate, opened it, flashed light up. Long thin field that run alongside the road and backed onto the forest. 60 foot in front of me was a herd of around 20 plus Sika hoping over the fence. Immediatly I noticed a large stag trotting in front of the does, nudging them to get over the fence, I watched this stag for around 5 secs. The dogs slip was tight, and he was ready. The sta

    I got caught by balifs on a brigde with handline, when they asked what I was doing, I told them I was flying my kite, and it sunk in the water. They didnt find it that funny. Mad thing was I always caught and released trout.

    More a patridge thing that surely..........not saying you wouldn't get any, of course some would come of roost early but the vast majority wont be. I'd find that a strange thing to do to get many numbers of pheasants when roost shooting them would be more effective. Whatever the case its still worth 2 barrels at about yards...... You love it Lab reel em in

    I hope everyone enjoyed my thread. It was supposed to give an insight into the bygone days to how it is nowadays. 20 or 30 yrs ago, life was some what different, no mobile phones, no internet, old cars, (bedford vans, vauxhall vivas, marinas, ford anglias). Very much like HEARTBEAT on the tv. There were no drugs. If you were lucky enough to discover the countryside, you looked after it. No one drove through fences or in fields. If you got caught, You took what came. Yes I admit I cut the fences when I was 18, But there was no need to kill my pride and joy car for lamping few rabbits on heri

    Mine has big can of princess pilchards or can of rice pudding in morning. Night time he has asda frozen mince with veg. Roast dinner on sundays. Keep meaning to go to makro and get him some chicken. Seems to be ok on this. This is roughly how I fed my dogs 20 yrs ago as well. Its probally come on a bit since then, so im always up for hearing peoples views and new things.

    I think its if you go off road, some highway law. but not sure. Ive searched google before and have seen that people have been hare coursing, got a driving ban, dogs destroyed, motor taken. What if you take a glove that is used for hawking, and say the hawk flew off and never come back. the dogs were for flushing.

    I take it your a keeper I have my own game farm.... nice, could I ask you what you would do if you caught couple of lurcher men lamping rabbits on your land. away from your stock not bothering anyone ?
  17. Roebuck Rod
    I certainly wouldnt put a loaded gun to their chest, smash their motor up, Beat them up or call the police. I would let them tag along and if they were alright people, invite them back. Of course you would....maybe slip them £50 quid for fuel to get home eh!!! only if they had fat labs,on a lurcher forum Here we go again prickymick...............if i seen your mutts i'd just shoot them....they be better off anyway.. long way for me to come just to take all your birds keeper wanna be,,but you nd your fat labs couldnt catch cold,never mind me nd the poision corn trick on

    'forest of dean redneck' grew halfway between blandford and dorchester, was great area in late 70,s early 80s when was a kid. Still is a great area, lived here all my life.

    I expect half the keepers back then are dead now. And you could say you made it up. Wouldnt stand up in court. But yeah be carefull what you say.

    I,ve had many chases, and few court apearences for poaching. It was back in my teens mostly, I'm 44 now. 1983 Got caught with 2 rabbits and a lamp. one lurcher. coming out a field. 2 old bill. Nicked me for poaching. Wouldnt take my dog, said he was gonna leave it there. I kicked of. Got assault charge to, Wareham majistrates day and a half trail. Guilty on poaching, not guilty on assault. sentence. Bind over to keep the peace for one year. How much did that cost. Nowadays im polite, and apologise unless they go to far. I dont go for the chase no more, just drive at 30mph, fook em. Too old
