    Your right Fred for me it’s the main thing. I can take or leave the rest of it. Most dogs will lamp to varying degrees but good day time hunting up and marking not so many.

    Christ I had forgot how much fun the bushing is. I miss the days of the old JR in cover. 9 out of ten of my ferreting spots rabbits are on top in cover and the lurcher will have to work hard. But I can only have one dog and a lurcher gives me few other options

    She started marking this weekend nice and stealthy made my day really flying along now. If she gets down wind of something goes into a sneak checking with me like a little team Likes the squirrels too and quiet as a mouse too even with squirrels bouncing around above her not a whimper I love being around her because apart from being a playful sod she makes it easy loves carrying stuff around so we keep that going to our advantage and I am In no rush to take stuff off her. So yea all good ?

    I picked one up last week and so far its asolutly pointless. Now I now its bottom of the range etc with 6mm lense. But it can't see a pheasant day time 25 yards, Duck 10 yards and tonight it couldnt see any of the rabbits sat 30 yards away. In fact the only thing it does see is my bloody dog Now I didn't expect to ID much in the dark but I was hoping it could just tell me there was some thing there. In this video the guy can see a heat source on rabbits over 200 yards. I would be happy at a 100 . Wonder if there is some magical setting or maybe I should take the lense cap off. I know its onl

    That is very true. Had some right disasters with the old dog plus him being trigger happy made stock tricky. A rustle in a hedge or some thing going over the brow. Bang he was on the way. The new pup is up and at them if it moving but if she comes in downwind of some thing goes into that collie slink which I do like. Though early days with her next season will be interesting. But the signs are very good so far

    In the day a chrash bang wallop type of dog that in a split second will hit a hedge hard cover or what ever and give it a 110% on the strike helps. Every split second counts any delay its gone

    Interesting in the basc mag regarding Scotland. You can use any breed of dog rough shooting to flush and retrieve. But the dog is simply not allowed to kill the rabbit. Most Lurchers don’t kill there quarry

    It’s ground dependable around here in my area a dog catching a rabbit in day time is rare thing . Simply because there never out of cover long enough. On the other hand if it was legal you might get a decent run on a hare

    Looks interesting is it factual or bit of fairy tale

    There is some charging points down the road and you see people sat there having a cup of coffee or reading a paper while they charge up. What a load of cobblers. Surely you dont need to be einstien to see they could never work. My dog could tell you there pointless

    The hunt has a point though the countryside is getting populated left right and centre. From new houses to carvans and tents in any bit of rought ground getting bought up. You can't swing a cat let alone run a pack of hounds across the country

    Good old red tape. Glad I missed all that and for the most part not worth the paper its written on. I remember the boss sticking us on a one day course because he new certificates were going to come in the future. Think the guy dragged it out for day on how to sharpen your saw and all that. Some safety stuff and then felling some tiny norway for an hour. I had been felling trees for about 12 years by then as had most of us. Dread to think what its like now. No more hurtling down mountains on the bonnet of a county with airfilter stopping you going over the front and pile trees pushing it down

    Is a chain saw cert guided by the length of your bar now a days ? Used to use a 13 inch on a whopper of a saw so it went like stink. More prone to splitting your bar though

    We used to use husqvarna and jonsered for felling it was rare to see a stihl in the woods. But that was over twenty years ago and times have changed. Stilhl are renown for quality but pricey as I recall.

    Hunting fishing small holdings rearing your own meat and allotments is where it is at. But they want to wipe all that out and send us to tesco
