    Some great meals out on the holidays but this was probably the best..... steaks were top notch.

    I keep mine pretty fit during summer tbh get alot more walking than during the season during the week. I'll like em fit and ready to go once weekend outings start. When all barley's cut I'll start getting out an evening or two a week and mooch along local rivers. The estuary where I take em swimming always has plenty of rat scent along the rocks at the edge, occasionally we get one during the summer but they're very hard got cos rocks are so big. Never had a terrier or lurcher in me life that loved water like these two.

    Even in days long before internet and social media his name and terriers were known in Ireland, even by lads like myself that never knew or met him or men like him.... that's saying something. RIP

    Just some of the pics. Taken from Knockbrack Hill, highest hill in North County Dublin, first time ever seen the Northern lights. Knockbrack has an ancient history, going back to the neolithic. I'll definitely chase a view of em again at different historical sites, something awe inspiring about em tbh.

    A couple of lil flounder I took from a local river. This spot bout 1/2 mile up from a local estuary, well away from the sea water. Get small brownies here too. Hardly think there be any fish in it, not much of a river. Garden worms for bait. These lads went back not a bother on em.

    Always thought mullet wasn't edible but that looks very very edible!

    Fish stew. Half a salmon, and bag of sea food bits in the mix. Done in slow cooker with spuds and some veg.

    Can't claim any credit for this, a neighbour sent it over cos I always throw him over a few pints of Guinness when I've got a keg in.... everything inc pepper sauce and bread made from scratch by his wife...... As good as any restaurant.

    Been good season. Dogs did very well. Worked well. Flushed everything fur and feather, goofy and sharp tooth, accounted for dozens of rats and few rabbits..... All in all very happy. Time now for coastal walks, swims in sea and road work.

    Nice mooch through fields today. Got 3 marks at long tails. Two marks got kills and another mark two bolted and gave us slip into a stream and up a ditch. Flushed plenty of birds and three big ears. Got good races for the auld lurcher, but game never in any real danger.

    First real spring day today, lambs in the fields, noticeable rise in temp, flowers starting to bloom, saw bees about... Season be over in few weeks for me, I stop Sunday hunting around Patricks Day. Got 4 mixy rabbits in the cover, five rats from 3 marks and flushed lots of rabbits and birds. Tired dogs now at home in the kitchen. Terrier was going non stop, flushing catching bunnies and marking/digging/killing rats. Mixy is wiping out big numbers around this land but I did see a good few young uns so hopefully they've got immunity and still a good few about. Auld lurcher really showing h

    Good mooch today. Got 2 mice in a mark that took a bit of digging. Plenty of marks some gave us the slip but got 4 rats from 3 marks. Flushed red lads, big ears and birds. Terrier went well all day, covered some ground trailing scent.
  22. harryshounds
    Nice cover.
  23. harryshounds
    Went out all day yesterday but never really got one good hunt. On the land I went too all the cover, ditches, dykes had been cleared out and wiped out with a mulcher so nothing left to hold game at all, on top of that the terrier got a bad wallop off an electric fence so went all weird for rest of the day so yesterday was a shitty day out. Got an hr to spare this evening so threw does in van for a spin to the estuary for a swim in the sea and a mooch along the rocks. Got this mark in the fields right at the edge of the estuary just above the water. I've actually got a few rats off this dyke ov

    Ancient Irish place names of certain areas in Ireland reference rabbits long before the Normans or Romans.

    Initially it was thought Romans brought rabbits to Ireland but recently it's been discovered that rabbits were brought here long before the Romans. Rabbits been in Ireland since the bronze Age at least.
