  1. ive only had bags in the 50s. the best night ive had single handed was 44 with the old dog ive got now. all these bags have been taken local i havent had the oppertunity to go to places where there are huge numbers of rabbits, its something i would like to do sometime just to see what my dog is really capable off if given the right oppertunity.
  2. depending on how bad the break is i would have thought it will heal the age of the pup is in your favour. i had a bitch that broke her front leg and had it pinned she went on to work well for a good few years and still managed some big bags.
  3. mines allready started but i am still limited to where i can hunt due to the fact theres still alot of harvesting to be done yet.
  4. . its always interesting to see what crosses are catching large bags. atb trigger
  5. We drove that night, but like you when i am on foot i get them when the bag gets too heavy or when a natural break presents itself. The rabbits i catch are dog and ferret food, so if we are driving, then they all get cleaned out when the night ends. Do you gut them as you go when ferreting or save until the end? . its very rare i go ferreting but i also gut them as i go as i dont see the need to carry the extra weight about with the guts.
  6. looks a god night there . whats the breeding of your dog.
  7. well done. do you drive round the fields, its just the rabbits havent been gutted. i always gut mine as i am lamping makes them lighter to carry.
  8. out lamping one night with a couple of mates at around 3am when a women stoped in a old volvo she was wearing her nighty and dressing gown and started talking about the dogs but the really mad thing was she had the back seats full of shopping and was wearing carrier bags on her hands and had one round her head like a ban danner. strange but true we pissed our selves laughing for days about it.
  9. i use a 14amp never had it go flat on me yet but having said that i havent really tested it yet. ive been out long enough to catch 36 rabbits and it was still fine then. having said that i only use a 30watt bulb.
  10. great vid that. well done to brian, hes clearly a top dog.
  11. thats decent of you to offer folks out rocky1
  12. i take my pup out with the old dog until he starts to catch the odd rabbit. once he has achieved this i then take them out single handed until i get them going well, unless they are struggling to catch then i will give them the odd night here and there with the old dog again so as they get to mouth a rabbit and try to keep there confidence up.
  13. well done. its always nice to have a good night out when possible with the dog
  14. that should soon heal up mate. she will be ready for working again in a few days.
  15. the dogs still young and the problem can be cured it will be a little bit difficult as its your first lurcher and you are learning the ropes yourself. dogs aint stupid and she/he will soon realise that theres a better chance of catching the one in the beem. just keep at it and the penny should eventally drop.
  16. your so wrong. like i say think what you like. how do you know how much alsation and greyhound my pups got in him as i dont even know that myself, you dont know the bloke that bred him or his dogs. it appears you know more about my dog than i do so how can i argue with you about him lol. theres alot of years of none bull blooded lurcher to lurcher breeding in the sire. as i say its a hunting forum and all i am doing is showing my method of training lurchers and how sucsesful it can be. what ever else you think is going on is all in your head your imagining things.
  17. think what you like. but after all the shit me and flint08 had off folk on this site including YOU about takeing pups out. i am showing you our method off training dogs and how sucsesful it can be.
  18. i will put some pics up tomorow for you mate. he is a lump of a dog hes 24 - 24.5tts and 55lbs when i weighed him last week.
  19. thanks for the replies. the pup had plenty left in his tank as i had stoped lamping and still had three and a half fields to walk. At this time there was a break in the cloud and the moon gave enough light to see farely well, the little fecker was still chaseing rabbits flat out but i chose not to lamp them.
  20. looked on the txt last night and rain was forecast. so i decided to take the pup to a area that usally holds a few rabbits as the conditons would aid him a bit when working, there wasnt a bloody drop off rain all night so the pup had his work cut out but done well. i had a steady walk over a few fields and picked the odd run or two in each field leaving loads of rabbits to carry on with there nights feeding. as the night went on the pup started to pick the odd rabbit up here and there, his retrieve wasnt spot on but thats a small matter. i decided to call it a night after 10 rabbits b
  21. its a way of life for me. my dogs are worked like blacks and looked after like royalty, and if you could ask them what they thought of there lifestyle i bet they wouldnt want it any other way. they are working dogs and working is what they do.
