  1. Shouldn't take long mate. a good while ago i had someone from around there try to rip me off on terrier locator i sold on ebay. within a few days he had a change of heart and decided the item had actually been delivered but his girlfriend had forgotten to tell him.
  2. When the .17hmr came out here. There were problems with the neck of the case splitting. This round was formed from a ,22wmr case, Are there the same issues with the .17 centrefire as well.
  3. i had 2 of them mate. feel your pain Lol.
  4. All sorts mate but mainly accipiter's, Goss hawks and sparrow Hawks. Although i did try a few few falcons, Peregrine and a pere/saker but for me none could beat the sparrow hawk, Spent 2 seasons trying to take a snipe on the rise, first with a little Musket then with a smallish female, Never did manage it but had fun trying Lol
  5. We might be old school mate, but its all about the chase not the ultimate outcome, it was the same same when i flew birds of prey, My goal was to get the bird as fit as, or as near to as i could to a wild bird and test it against its quarry. The flight was what it was all about, not really the catch.
  6. i spent years chasing Munty`s around here mate, Loads of rips. tears. punctured eyes and a whole load of heart ache and grief, wouldn't have changed it for the world Lol
  7. I have done the numbers game mate and to be fair, i found it just to easy, I once travelled south to run some Chinese water deer, Jesus h Christ the first ones we spotted were in the middle of a field, the size i could not even guess at. it was huge. And then they stood looking at the dog approaching and not not even moving until it was virtually upon them, Again not for me Lol.
  8. This is going to sound daft but the best dog for them was a mixture of something that is quick enough to get on them and the determination and courage to throw on a turn and crash cover at the end of a run. Only ever achieved it with one dog. An exceptional night here would be 4 or more rabbits.
  9. After an hour and a half's, Head banging, Mind Numbing reflection, Buying the Grandkids a Drum kit possibly was not one of my best ideas. Lol
  10. Around here its all small pasture fields 1 to 3 acres on average, Mini golf courses i call them, The rabbits are quick and i mean quick. A bloke and his lad came up from the south Wales area with a bitch that was doing good, apparently. No disrespect to the bloke and his lad but the rabbits here just made it look far less than good, but its as they say, Horses for courses, You breed to the land you run.
  11. The things that go on in the Clock are just unimaginable
  12. even worse in Atherstone mate
  13. Same thing, Some keep there lines really tight.
  14. And why are they always dressed in white? Perhaps the spirit world is racist as well Lol
  15. The dog had served several bitch`s all with no issues, But i know that a litter of pups came out of one of the bitches from that litter a good few years later and they were fine.
  16. Must have heard the sound of the cat gut being pulled tight Lol
  17. Personally i never bred off that bitch again.
  18. More so in terriers than lurchers, i do believe.
