lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 once in the mid 1980s,i was going lamping and i used to keep my dog in a run on my allotment near a farm,on returning from lamping i did the usual,fed the dog,then locked him up,then i left the plot and clicked the lock shut,then after walkng nearly half way home,which was a couple of miles, i checked my pockets for my house keys i'd left em in the dogs shed so i walked back and because the plot keys were also on it,i had to climb over, the fence was about 8ft,i got on top of it,steadied misel and jumped,little did i know the bottom of my jeans had got stuck ont fence,i just slammed against the fence,stuck upside down by my jeans,i couldnt for the life of me get myself free but luckily the dog could see me from his run and realised i was fooked he started barking and jumping on the mesh like a feckin loon,but the noise made the farmer come and investigate,he was pissin himself i reckon i was there an hour but it would of been longer if it wasnt for the dog That beats me clinging to the fence today by a fair mile :laugh: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stabs 3 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Mobile phones are a waste of time if you are called millet..i was out with ian once and he walked across this beck i followed him but i found the only 5ft deep bit in the fooking field..camera and phone fooked and they was snow on the ground..another time i was trying to cross a stream in flood..i stepped on a rock in the middle while holding the dog lead..all of a sudden the dog decided to try and clear the stream with me stuck in the middle with the lead wrapped round my wrist..needless to say i ended up flat on my back in 2ft of water mobile no2 fooked.. Same here mate. Found a sink hole in the local swamp. I'm guessing a tree would have come down years ago and created a massive hole where the roots came up. Pitch black and I'm wading through looking for a dog and a deer, and I steps in the hole.......I went straight under and this water is black and stinks of sulphur. The lamp went under and my phone went under and both died. So I found myself in the middle of a swamp, where there're plenty of snakes and spiders, in absolute darkness, soaked to the skin, with no light, no phone, no dog and no deer. Took me f*****g ages to find my way out of there and I ended up getting pneumonia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Just got the whippet out of the kennel ... he's absolutely fine. Cancelled this morning's ferreting for nowt Reading some of these replies it's a wonder most of us are in one piece and still have dogs I lost my first lurcher, he got hit by a train. Now that was the most horrific day of my life. But I still went and got another one - what's life without them, I guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PoshPikey 560 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 i feel like i have had more than my fair share of had some horrific moments - had a springer spaniel jump a cattle grid and it landed its back leg in the grid - f*****g hell that made the worst noise i have ever heard. Got a whippet that snapped its leg when 3 months old by crashing into one of the other dogs - my wife got bitten quite badly trying to help her. My first GWP got killed - run over, my first grey x died of a heart problem - the day we took her into the vets for the last time was one of the saddest days of my life. She looked so happy and was wagging her tail - she was only 4. On the lighter side - I shot at a rabbit with the .22 when i was about 14 and it ricocheted back and hit me in the leg - that hurt - my old man wet himself laughing. Climbed over an electric fence out lamping one night - held the fence down with the face of the lamp which was fine until it pinged straight into my bollocks. Climbed over a barb wire fence and lost my footing - ended up hanging upside down caught by my rucksack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 another one,when we were about 14 yrs old,me an mi mate went shooting with our air rifles,we went to our local spot for rats,we sat down on the bank and my mate cocked the barrel an as he was putting the pellet in, his other finger was on the trigger and you guessed it he accidently pressed the fecker,the barrel snapped shut jesus,it looked like a blind cobblers finger he now resembles dave allen Seen that happen too Craigy. One of the boys had just got hold hold of a battered old air rifle with a knackered spring, and my old man swapped the one out his rusty old BSA Mercury which was just lying about the place unused. The lad was made up with it until he done exactly the same as you've described above. There was blood everywhere and my mate ended up with a load of stitches in his thumb. My old man felt guilty for ages afterwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Duncan 802 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 When I was young n stoopid, I went air rifle shooting in some woods near home with a friend who was equally young and stoopid. Using felled trees as back stops we punched paper happily til Mike fired at a the section end of a tree trunk from about 30 yards. His pellet flattened and rebounded towards him at high speed. It left a cut half an inch under his right eye...freaky! He literally almost 'took his own eye out' as teachers are oft fond of saying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
