Lurchers Ratting

[jcm 2,327]

Had a good do on the long tails today ending the day with 103, was just me and my pal today with two terriers and 2 lurchers.

I always take a lurcher or two with me on a days ratting and they catch most the ones that try to sly away whilst terriers are digging away.

Many on here take a runner or two on a days ratting ?

 

I'd post a pic of the end count but keeps saying image to big

Go ratting about a dozen times throughout season I always take a runner or 2. I find it sharpens them up and keeps them ticking over. Love the ratting, keep at it pal

My saluki whippet was good at it. She would pick of rats I didn-t even know had ran

It's OK if you don't mind your lurcher learning to be hard mouthed which to be honest most lads don't coz rabbits are worth f**k all really . Great fun though

Is it a rat?

Do you use gun (rifle) for this hunting?
