hareman 0 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Hello everyone, I've been Hunting / Poaching now for 42 years, my first dog was a Whippet named Blaze a great rabbiter and killed quit a few hares, sadly he chased a hare on to a main road and was run over by a car at four years of age. My next dog was another whippet named Kerry which my Father bought for me but was too fine and soft for Hunting so she became the family pet and spoiled rotten. I bought my first shotgun at age 16 and had many years of fun with that then I tried my hand at Greyhound Racing for about 8 years and won quite a few races at Shawfield in Glasgow but it just wasn't as much fun as coursing the real thing so bought a Lurcher named Rocky for £25, he didn't look much only 22 inches high, a Whippet cross with god knows what, but had the heart of a lion. After six weeks on good chuck he started killing Hares catching about 1 out of 2 or 3 chases, the best dog I ever had. Now I have Connie and Sky, Connie is a Whippet / Greyhound / Collie mix 1 year old and Sky is a Bearded Collie Mix about 18 months old, Sky is fully trained but Connie has quite a lot to learn (she is a bit head strong). Anyway that’s my life story in the hunting trade (hope it was not too boring). Thanks Mistwalker for pointing me to this site, see you up the line.
