BIGLURKS 874 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Eg Walsh had a good book can't mind the name off it He has two, "Lurchers and Longdogs" and "Longdogs by Day". Both good books but both more instructional rather than anecdotal I think.maybe Iam thinking of a diffrent book then Quote Link to post

Jock of the bushveldt can be read free here:- http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/36951 I think Astanley's pulling our legs over the Mark Brick book. I've never heard of it anyway. The Plummer books will be available from "Tideline books" http://www.tidelinebooks.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=87 or "Coch y bondu" books and the Dave Harcombe one probably too. http://www.tidelinebooks.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=804 Edited July 3, 2015 by Maximus Ferret 2 Quote Link to post

Silversnake 1,099 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 image.jpgthe best two books I've read bought them recent and didn't put them down untill i had finished id recommend these two to any one who likes a read and I think both the authors use this forumI have read both these books and I agree both are excellent. I got both from skycat publications and there are a few more I am interested in that were on the website which I will get around to ordering. Dutch salmon gazehounds and coursing is good and the best hunting stories ever told I enjoyed not sure of author but it was about teddy Roosevelt hunting with dogs and rifles. Atb. Quote Link to post
