Oldest lamper in town.

[border lad 1,047]

I know the feeling, I look for a good strong corner post and strainer were possible, or if there is a gate, very Handy,, thats why my dogs or dog hunts from the road,

and he carries most stuff back to hand, (((( you can take the hunt away from the man but you cannot take the hunting out of the man,

its nice to see theres a good few still out there hunting with the dogs in there 60s and that they have been at it for years, just shows you how strongly the hunting bug can get you. i hope i am still able to get out and about with my dogs in 30 years time.

 

atb lads and happy hunting.

I have GOT to get me one of those :laugh: Doubt it would do so well on a ploughed field though I can still walk all day or night, but its the fecking plough that gets me down, especially the clay land that you carry with you at every step.

Thirty odd years ago I got my wife to drop me off with the dog about eight miles from home.I would then spend all night walking home with the dog and lamp. About three hours into my journey I noticed the country lanes were full of flashing blue lights. i counted half a dozen. I couldn't understand why little me could merit such a turnout. Fortunately I managed to make it home undetected.

About a week later I learned that I had strayed into the grounds of a guy who had had an IRA threat against his life. Someone must have reported the lamp and put two and two together and made five.

I can laugh about it now but at the time I was one worried lamper.
