All this talk of Macnab I think I will have to invent the Midlands Macnab which I am now declaring to be fallow buck, a brace of English partridge and a brown trout. All have to be truly wild too. Might have to be a team effort because I've no interest in fly fishing, lol, but I have access to all three so be a shame not to...

 

I reckon out at the crack of sparra fart for the buck, then straight on the river for the browny after breakfast, then that'll give you most of the day to walk stubbles and set-a-side for the brace of English and if you didn't manage the buck in the morning you'll get a second stab at him in the evening?

There are some Brown Hares in the North Tomo and it's legal to course them with Lurchers too.

But our Irish Hare is a sub species of the Blue Hare and there's no true Blue Hares on the isle of Ireland.

Mind you, the ferry trip from N.I. to Scotland only takes a couple of hours so if some wanted to be there done that and get that T- Shirt it is possible, LOL.

My biggest regret was giving a lurcher dog away back in the seventies. It was a really useless worker but a really calm, loyal pet. I was Mr macho in those days, or thought I was, and I wanted a dog that I could feel proud of and show off to my mates with regard to its working abilities. Arsehole, I really liked the dog and should have kept it.

I never said night time but I don't think it's a particularly hard task down here
