Irony ?

[birddog 1,354]

decided to take a wee walk round a permission maybe half an hour away to check out how much cover was still there with a view to a ferreting trip next week. half way through the woods the mutts have picked up a couple of bunnies and a chap with a gundog comes walking toward me, i recognise him through work (i'm in the ambulance service) he's a police sergeant, we chat a while his dog sitting at heel my two are working through a hazel thicket.............crash bang a roe buck breaks cover with two hairy lurchers in CLOSE pursuit, fck me! i hope its gonna make the thick cover maybe 25yds away, belle dives in for a leg hold misstimes her strike and takes a kick, the roe stumbles and as it makes cover jazz hits it on the shoulder rolling the pair into really thick brambles, all the while i'm bricking it, about 30seconds of crashing through the thickest of cover and i'm waiting on a scream trying to act cool saying things like 'they're only rabbit dogs they'll never get that' and 'i've never seen a deer here before'...........thankfully the mutts come back tails wagging sides heaving....me..' i told you they wouldn't get it' cool as........he says ' pity that i quite like a bit o venison'.......b*****d!

There are more bent coppers than straight ones I reckon.

i know a few that shoot or fish, used to know one that kept lurchers......in my experience most are just ordinary guys doing a pig of a job and following orders from above

Plenty down here can't say I'm feed up of um

Good to watch

[nothernlite 18,076]

difference between feed up with them (they are nice eating )and fed up with then taking your dogs across roads into swing parks full of kids even seen them in school playgrounds

Fair point

aye, see them everywhere, one of my farmers see them as vermin they do lots of damage, it's not uncommon to see them in numbers, last winter we watched 11 cross a ride nose to tail, the thing that gets me though if people see a pet collie or spaniel chasing them its a wee jolly but because our dogs are capable of catching them the bambi syndrome kicks in and all lurchermen (and women) are barbaric hoodlums

very true mate years ago when you seen one it was a rare sighting now you have to scan the ground before letting the mutts of the lead and thats you just walking the dogs no working them

[pernod 466]

Where i am in ayrshire theres not many places you can let a dog(that knows the score re deer) off now. They are in most bits of waste ground/cover now. The novelty of seein your lurcher course them isnt long wearing off when under the public gaze.
