stormyboy 1,352 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 There used to be a quite few lads that hunted scratch packs of beagle and beagle/terrier crosses down in my neck of the woods. Accounted for a fair few fox driving cover to waiting guns and the odd lurcher. Happy days....... Quote Link to post
