Consistently low numbers of rabbits this year
terryd replied to Luckee legs's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Lamping up to farm houses that brings back memories. Back then even if they woke they would just know you were after a rabbit and causing no harm so not worth bothering with. All ways the odd over sensitive one though lol. How times have changed -
It sure is addictive. I now have a scout, evo, wasp and just got the gear I need to cut the bands. I can't hit a barn mind. Though I made my self a natty couple months ago. Then twigged by accident that my reference point needs to not be the corner of the frame but due to my fat head lol needs to be a few mil to the left. My natty had a blemish on it there and I just tried it and started hitting stuff. Also holding my little pinky out like posh git drinking a cuppa has helped with consistency

Long hedge at right angle from big thick old wood. Rare to find one to ground in hedge as they come out the woods. Popped a net across the gap between the end of the hedge and the wood and hoped for one sitting out. Walked up one side and bit of scent the far side. She went through then and picked hot scent started working hedge back to the wood. Sure enough our prize was waiting back out tonight then. Moon is up but rough night and blind set 50 yard down and walked around the top with little hand torch. Saw about half a dozen or maybe six ambling over the brow to

Scouting ahead is a great idea but for one reason and another not all ways possible remember back in the day lamping with couple mates huge flat field looked perfectly harmless. Me and one guy lamped one side and other fella went up the other. My dog took off after a rabbit which decided to head across this field. Out the beam it went. Thought nothing of it and he took an age to return which was odd. Eventually got back. Let him get his wind and off we went. Met me mate from other side he said he your dog ok he took hell of a tumble there’s big ditch across centre of this f

On the side of the coin I had beddy whippet very light dog light as feather. Seemed to float all most could work her any where. Caught all her rabbits up against the hedge or in it. One night she didn’t float over a low electric fence which did her leg in unfortunately

Mine went same sure vets eyes started flashing pound symbols. But I left him be until he started to suffer and when did he went from ok to not in matter of week so the time came then

Waterproof breathable coat recommendations

I find percussion stuff good and not too dear -
You are bang on but I was all ways blamed any thing on the bull part lol. Heart of lion but he was like a 30k terrier. Miss the old sod
-
Nothing you can do. The crash bang wallop ones put stuff in the bag and pull off spectacular catches but its a gamble. Remember the old bull cross went round corner out of site. Next thing I heard thud thud as he ran flat out down hill through trees. Could tell he was maxed out and stretching to grab it by the sound. Next silence when he went straight over a bank through barb wire. Then an all might thud when he landed follow by a scream. Gave me chills that sound. Found him in heap of wire foot of a bank. He lived to go on for more disasters lol

Very true the little beddy whip she didn't listen much at all but on the lamp she was spot on. When the grandmother lost her once. I drove to a spot we used to lamp about 3 or 4 miles away. Climbed over the gate scanned field nothing. Gave a few minutes and flashed lamp at my feet. Few minutes later put lamp on and there she was trotting straight towards me out of the dark. Never been so glad to see her. The stars aligned that night. Grandmother was chuffed too.

That must be a worry or are you used too it

I know what you mean. But it comes down to money and by and large public are oblivious to what happens behind the scenes. Like chickens a free range over a tenner compared to to three quid one. Some people have no choice and others would prefer few more beers than worry about. It’s like any thing intensively grown from meat to veg. The flavour difference compare to home grown is so huge it does make you wonder what they do to make things so tasteless. Had joint of home reared pork other day. Flavour was 10/10 compare to cheap bit out of Tesco flavour is down to 3/10 . The difference is huge. T

I never click on them videos can’t stomach it. Agree with what you say . It’s odd how they seem to think it’s ok to be so cruel. They must have screw lose. I can’t even be cruel to a fish I try to dispatch cleanly as I can

Different world out there. Every one loves horses but in that situation it’s different. I watch that fella trapping dogs and he catches some fine animals. But his very humane and it’s got to be done. Must be an interesting place to live

I know some folks don’t like to use food. But in yard or on line call dog give it bit cooked chicken or some thing. Just create the habit. Before you know it dog be flying back. Saying that food won’t compete over scent but you won’t be calling it back then anyway. Also common sense says you only call dog when you know you can win at least in early days but sure you know all that anyway

Like any thing it’s personal preference. Had super beddy whippet caught rabbits a treat. Old bull cross was handful. Little collie cross now is a dream right character. Thought world of them all

I guess they can be a lot of dog. Going by my previous experience with the last one who was only a 1/4. From the moment he had his jabs he was up for anything. Ferrets for example were hard work but he was bomb proof at the end. But even then it was more of a tolerance rather than best buddies. Compared to the collie cross I now have who took zero effort with ferrets and I mean zero. Just good from day one. She is just as keen as the old fella for what I want catch though. Old fella also gave me issues with sheep and dogs. He is just one example so unfair to judge you see plenty on here never

Bushing and silence don’t go hand in hand. That said you got the full on cry or yap yap which or though nice to hear can be pain depending where you are. When I younger we had a couple JR terriers they would only yap if they were right behind rabbit in tight cover. Apart from that pretty quiet. My jr was a ferreting dog too and if he marked in cover would stand by hole silently and if I shouted where are you would give one woof.

I like that reminds me of my younger days with the terrier. I never left home with out a ferret in one canvas bags from kp and s nets. Great post enjoyed that. if any one has one them canvas bags to get rid of btw let me know. Bloody handy
