undisputed 1,664 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 It's a crying shame, they're nigh on extinct round here on the local grounds. I reckon it's that VHD. Yeah VHD killed the betamax too 3 Quote Link to post
rob190364 2,594 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'm bringing on my first lurcher this season and was going to get another lurcher pup at the end of the season to bring on for the season after...........but I'm probably not going to do that now cos there's no point! I (naively) thought that I was going to be getting 10-20 runs a night quite easily if I put the miles in but after spending night after night walking for 3 or 4 hours and only getting a handful of runs I'm not getting enough runs for my single dog never mind having two of them with me that aren't getting enough work. I'm hoping this season is just a one off due to the mild autumn? Last year when I was out and about but didn't have a dog ready to run there seemed to be loads of rabbits around! Quote Link to post

Yeah VHD killed the betamax too And the radio star ! It's mad tho isnt it, if someone had said to me 20 yrs ago, that all the rabbits would be gone and in their place it will be running alive with deer, i'd have thought they were mad.

Guest born to run1083 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) I'd say around 10,000 acres of my land is trashed with mixy all that's left is digging there, been a gutting factor as some of them are enjoyable walks as you can always bump into a variety of dog work but not anymore but saying that I went to another estate last night and it has a sea of rabbits. Now adays I think in certain areas it's over hunted by different groups of people and mixy doesn't take long to clear an area Edited November 4, 2011 by born to run1083 Quote Link to post
