have hunted with harriers from small plantations across the bogs great for them builds up serious muscle, tough going tho, and by golly can they move then once they hit open groung

I nearly drowned in a bog whole.....it was about 2ft under water and I was wading in fishing for pike, and maybe you should look about the story of The Creggan White Hare, that story is about a place about 2 mile from me, pure bog

get the story up wai bet that a good read

wonder if weve walked over a preserved body yet whilst hunting these bogs

 

you never no

If you are talking about Creggan I'd say the bodies range from about 1969-1994 if you know what I mean

Just as Joe asked, how well do the lurchers run across that land? I wouldnt put a green lurcher on that sort of ground. We have some huge deep ditches on our bogs and not to mention the sharp bog oak stumps

 

Any photos mate?

Here's some bog and bogoak. Very dangerous land to walk across. I hate it when I step out onto floating bog, scares the crap out of me.
