I started when i was about 7,a mate of my dads had ferrets n lurchers n he used to take me out a bit,then i got my own ferts but i was'nt allowed a dog at that age,about a year after i met him my dads mate died of brain tumor n i did'nt know anyone else who was into it so i plodded along on my own n learnt from my own mistakes.When i was 12 i got my first terrier and when he was a year old had my first fox with him,been at it ever since,mainly terrierwork and hunting but do a bit of shooting, ferting, fishing etc as well,30 now and hope to still be at it when i peg out
