NEWKID 27,386 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Was first taken out lamping/ferreting when i was 6 years old, 34 now so 28 years all told, had a long lay off though, could'nt give the dog the time it deserves but missed it like hell, started going out again a while back and got terrier, lurcher and ferrets plus my lad loves it he's only 5 would be out every day and night if his mother would let him Quote Link to post

Snifferboy 659 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I got into lurcher's in my late teens so that's 14 years ago, but have only just been able to get my own for myself last year. I know I will never be without one, just took a long time to convince my wife that it was a good idea! Now she's the same and is on about another. Quote Link to post
