baw 4,360 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 . Yes there will be dogs that can't catch on them but there will be equal if not more good fen dogs can't catch elsewhere. That's a big statement to make......have you come to that conclusion from watching dogs run on both types of land? The real un's kill em just as well anywhere, they just few and far between, but theres deffo dogs that excel on certain land types and woukld maybe perform differnetly on paddocks etc if they ran em, these maybe more the average types the majority of lads own, good honest grafter types I like the way you say real uns are far and few between lol.

baw 4,360 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I reckon that soon as money comes into it , honest and integrity move into a poor second place ,even worse when 'reputations' are on the line as some see the dog as an extension of themselves, slips get shorter and walks get longer to find the perfect hare, buy yeah your right the fens the pace to match a dog as both men can see most the runs and kills , well most the time lol, also best place to test themand get a proper read on your dog where ya can watch courser properly,, when you spend time runnign hares other places that ya maybe dont see as much of the course cos of land type, so maybe dont see best or worst your dog ha to offer, mind theres loads big bits of land all,over uk and scotland where theres a bit less hassle than fen Good honest post that artic mate.

I mean dogs that can be taken to the very best land be it black or massive open seed and slipped at 80yds onto hares and kil the hares consistently week in week out, but then also taken to the arse end of nowhere small tight paddocks fences barwire, machinery lay about, rocks, uneven land ,woods copses etc and still consistently kill nmbers, thems deffo few and far between, the likes of foxy lucky blondie etc there far more average days sport types about and a shit lad more shit ones Quote Link to post

arcticgun 4,548 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) i have seen fen dogs that are more suited to just fen land need that bit more room and take a bit of getting going. but i have also seen alot that can do it on both types of land. next season baw i come up to you for a day out and then you come with me. see what you think pal thats what I was getting at , some need more room to get into em, so on smaller land they suffer badly, but say take a fast starter that likes to smash an early bend or two in cos he used to smaller land and knows he may only get one chance well he might get lucky now and again with the odd fen hare using his chosen running tatctic learned from smaller land Edited April 23, 2013 by arcticgun Quote Link to post

No, not at all....I've seen many dogs that were no good, and I have never had a decent hare dog, what i would call a good one anyway. BUT i have seen my fair share of dogs running in the flesh.... You stick to your theories and being a cyber hunter Baw, it's a cold, wet world out there all winter long, you could take your keyboard with you but it might get wet....

Not because you slag me on the said forum, even though that's funny in itself but more the fact you spend wasaaaaaay more time on here than me. Which reminds me, I need to watch the wizard of oz when I get home, the scarecrows my favourite, can't mind his song though....... You brag you see all these dogs running and that makes you superior....... I used to go watch the Waterloo cup, I never knew that made me an expert greyhound courser think I might write a book about it..... Look, I'm just a humble lurcher man, I know your the field sport god. How can I compete with someone who has devoted there whole life to air guns and wrote a book about it, impossible. How could I compete with someone who has devoted there life to catching deer with dogs and wrote a book about it, impossible. How could I compete with someone who has devoted there life to deer stalking and wrote a book about it, impossible. How could I compete with someone who has devoted there entire life to hare coursing and wrote a book about it, I couldn't. I'll just plod along doing what I do, remaining anonymous and looking up to all these great men who have devoted their life's to the subjects I mentioned and passed on all those lifetime experiences for us to enjoy.
