Used to do it a fair bit mooching in the day hunting fox and tracking. I've also seen a rough costed coursing type bitch with a good splash of collie hunt hares like no other. She literally found her sport whenever she went out never seen anything like it... But for the deer/fox game it was a saluki/bull/grey bitch, she was just so driven and eager to please. And I think that was key, I don't think it matter so much with lurcher what's in them as regards to using there nose, I think if they really want the game and really want to find they can, people don't seem to think that bull blood in a lurcher can use its nose, most of what iv owned can hunt for fun and enjoy it. Used to do a lot of beating and we never always used spaniel sometimes a good lurcher can find just as much as anything. We always took the lurchers out from a young age so they where confident and bold, not scared of bramble and getting stuck in. Seen a few coursing dog X bull/greys and they loved using there nose, it's a must for me and key part in my hunting. You can't beat it excuse the pun lol.

Something Iv never done with either of my dogs but would really like to see a good day time team of lurchers hunting up said quarry.

Nothing better
i can imagine mate. Around here the hills are shite. Gotta travel for anything decent and I try sticking to permission these days. So I lamp everything or odd ferreting day. My perm consists of big crop fields with spinnies in them , some hedgerows. The one perm has bigger specimen on but they hold up in the neighbouring wood where can't get perm lol

Best I've witnessed was a mates dog , bred from a Lurcher bitch with a bit of everything in it to a pure bull dog . This dog used to do stuff that would amaze you to watch . Best dog at hunting up a fox I've ever saw and had a nose like a blood hound .
