went out for a mouch today over to my permission in hexham aint been for about 6 months and boy how things have changed....rabbits all over the place even found a field we didnt no we were allowed on there is a nice fresh charlie set...in a hill just under the tree line.

my new pup was mint today followed me all over only wandered off once as she tried to course a chicken which i was chuffed with due to her only been 10 weeks old ... my 15 month old terrier has finally started marking sets

bought a new air rifle yesterday so took it up to set the scopes air arms tx 220 with full ox kit in it ment to have round aboud 15 ft lb so its not bad i suppose,, got 4 crows in about 30 mins

First off, good luck with the pup mate as i know youve had a bit of stick on here,whether youve deserved it......well ill let others decide,in not here to judge nobody so good luck with it

But secondly,i wouldnt be pleased if my pup coursed a chicken in my opinion id be trying to break the pup to chickens at this early age,chickens mate should be a big no no for a working lurcher.Think about it.........unhappy farmer,keeper and anybody else who keeps them on a bit of permission you have

And thirdly im hoping youve got a fac with a air rifle shooting over the legal 12ft lb,? if not and your stopped with coppers,theres a good chance youll not see that new pup of yours for a bit mate so as i said earlier good luck with the pup and take this as advice and not a lecture

good luck with the ferreting sounds like it could be chaotic be praperd for plenty of digging.

 

good hunting

i didnt mean for it to sound like that mate basically what i meant was ................

i am glad that she is trying to course at such a young age and showing interest when i aint started training her yet going to let her settle for a week then start training due to only having her 2 days............

 

i dont want her on the chickens and aggree it is a big no no! just enjoying the moment thats all mate

 

and i do have a fac had it for 9 months just dont want a big .22 rifle thats why a got the air rifle

try gettin the permission at the tea rooms farm just before you get into humshaugh on the milatery road.. was the best permission i had when i was down there..

i'd second the chicken-breaking... my boy was aquired at 7 months old, from a town home, and had never seen 'stock in his life... breaking him to it has been nigh impossible. he got out on monday & killed one of my neighbours chickens . luckily they are very understanding. i spent all of monday afternoon ringing round my friends to find another hen for them, which was delivered with a grovelling apology on tuesday morning. but it has now thrown my housing situation into a crisis, as the place i was moving to has a chicken-keeping nextdoor neighbour, and he has a gun... and wouldn't think twice about using it.

looks like i'm moving back in with my parents for the time being

Im glad you have a ticket mate,i have to admit i cringed a bit when i read about the air rifle, but no worries,sorry for jumping the gun a bit (no pun intended)

As for your pup,start the way you mean to go on,i see your point with the pup showing interest in coursing but dogs are creatures of habit.if chickens are off the menu i would discourage the pup from the start from showing any intrest them.ive had a chicken thief in the past and staying in a rural area can be a bit of a nightmare,makes the dog no better than charlie
