An older fella ( well now in is 60,s LOL ) i go lamping with, years ago in the early 90,s. We was going out with the runners and he tells me he had a strange fella knock on the door today. A Russian geezer offering to by his motor a lada riva at the time, so my mate thinks its a joke and tells him to feck off. The rusky only comes back a few days later and offers again for a really good price. So my mate accepts and flogs him the motor and asks in parting why he was so keen for it. And he tells him he was going round buying them up and exporting them back to Russia. Feckin barmy because he lives in a little village in the peak district :laugh: cheers Atb

Well heres another 'tragedy' involving a minshaw bred. It happened in the same field that my deerhound was killed.

 

There was 3 of us out, with a dog each.

 

We headed out with only one thing on our minds, a trophy. I was lucky that I had permission in a place only people dream of having permission, and the farmer wanted us to harvest the animals that were causing crop damage.

 

First field we pulled In and the pursuit was on, 2 of the feckers standing there. 2 dogs were let out. The 4x4 was in hot pursuit, but the 3rd dog was going crackers in the motor. I noticed it making a beeline for my open window that I was lamping from. So obviously I hit the anchors, and lucky that I did as the dog was straight out.

 

With the commotion, I lost track of the pursuit. We moved round the woodside and theres another sitting tight, so out with the dogs and down she went.

 

We moved on down the main road, ignoring the herds of doe's that were milling around. We got into a side road and into an open gateway. 3 of the fekers standing so there was nothing for it, all 3 dogs out and,see what happens. They hopped over the fence followed by the,dogs I jumped off the ba,k of the 4x4 while my mate tried to follow them, a rough patch obscured my view and I seen 2 bucks come out the other side, but where was the 3rd, and the dogs?

 

Me and a lad jumped through the hedge while the driver went back onto the road and into the field they were in.

 

Well 2dogs are safe and well, hanging onto their quarry. The deed was done. And the,motor was,soon with us.

 

The 3rd dog however was dragging its back legs, were not sure what happened, but its either been rolled onto, or 'connected' and bashed into a tree?

 

The dog had to get taken to the vets, and I held its vein as the vet plunged the needle in :(

 

Ill never forget that night as long as I live

was that dash pal
