dont you just love being a lurcher worker!!!

[jimmy100 48]

alot of people seem to slag lurchers saying they have no place in the countryside and i dont mean all but 7-8 out of 10 keepers,shooters,stalkers etc in truth look down on us and think they are better than us but they are not better not even on a level with us!!! they might spend £1000s on their sport and guns etc and have more permission than they can use BUT they forget you cant put a price on watching a dog you have brought on come good!! a gun can be locked away all summer but a dog will make that summer loads better on evening walks out and a good fishing partner!! alot of people i no round here shoot and have only done it for 2-3 seasons and when you walk in the pubs they drink after a shoot on sat in the season with your lurcher you can see them all look away and then on monday in the same pub there like "sorry i blanked you its cause you had your lurcher and the other guns dont like them" and im like :feck:!!! this is not aimed at anybody off this site just some dickhead has wound me up earlier today about this saying lurcher owners are just poachers!!! end of the day ANYBODY can be put on a peg with a 12g and shoot pheasants that are just as tame as chickens but live in woods its not hard and they pay £20 a bird :doh: if they think we are just poachers f**k em ill die with that title gladly knowing ive never paid £20 for a pheasant you could offer me a pair of purdeys for my bitch and you would still get told to feck off!! im proud to be a lurcherman and will be till the day i die!!! to the dogs atb jimmy

£20 a pheasant I don't know any shoots near me but I know four men who rear their own birds on their farmland and shoot them themselves. Can't believe that.

i and a lot of fieldsportsmen shoot,fish,and keep lurchers. the snobbery is dumb(as it mostly is).

there is no finer sight than a lurcher going full pelt behind a rabbit

 

if the man says he blanked you "because the other guns don't like lurchers" then he is a shallow dimwit with whom i would have nothing to do with,let alone a drink :sick:

 

i find the "best" people to be around are people who keep dogs,the only ones with more sense are the ones who work their dogs properly

 

you can try and educate one of them if you feel the need,i would rather not and leave them to their shooting.

you are not alone bud.

if that were the case then we may not have a ban in place mate,

"i'm allright jack" mentality will kill our sport for the upcoming/young sportsmen.

 

do what you do and be proud of the fact that you enjoy,care for and use the natural resources that are there in whatever capacity you choose(gun,dog,rod,hawk) and balls to those who have their noses in the air or "get one on them".

I had an idea a little while ago (and still have) that i wanted to put my plummer terrier across a bavarian bloodhound and then put the resulting offspring across a whippet. So i found a bavarian bloodhound breeder and called asking if i could buy one or perhaps put the plummer across one of their bitches. I was extremely taken aback by this womans attitude. One of her comments were "but bavarian mountain hounds are pedegree animals, we dont want their bloodlines sullied" to which i replied "and so are plummer terriers". She said "but the puppies wont be, they will just be mongrels"! I asked what the f**k its got to do with her what i breed it with after iv bought it but it was like talking to a brick wall. A lot of deer stalkers will of heard of this particular stuck up, snot nosed slag, her name is jan andrews the video making deer stalker.

I have been tagged a poacher most of my life and will be for the rest of my days mainley down to the dogs i keep but one thing is for certain the lurcher is a lot more accepted nowadays than it was 30 years ago proberbly due to the fact before the hunting ban came in and they needed all the support they could get.

[wildhunter 3]

[klashnekoff 3]

No offence mate but your comments and post is bullshit and holds no water. I would say 7-8 out of 10 SUPPORT what your doing and the minority (hypocrites)are against it. I know dozens of keepers who run lurchers and terriers, so dont generalise them all with the few tossers you have met.

Generalising people like that is like saying all dogmen are thieves - see what i mean

 

And £20 per pheasant - more like £45 plus VAT.

 

Dont start bickering with people who enjoy a different sport than yourself, that makes you no better than an anti - if not worse because its people like you who split us up when we should stand as one. If you subdivide us into small categories we have a much smaller voice than when we are all together.

 

There would be a 10 fold bigger turnout to the hunting marches without attitudes like yours!
