TBH I think its the best book ever written on the subject and every pit village and town in working class areas had people like the author back in the day. 5 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 You won't beat Harcombe's terrier books for an enjoyable read, easy to understand and digest. 1 Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 It's good to hear that hunting lads are still keen to peruse a few books I remember buying Ted Walsh's, 'Lurchers and Longdogs... Bookwise, the lurcherman had not been well served before this,..then suddenly the floodgates opened and we all had something to enjoy. The tide had turned,..great times lay ahead, everything was so fresh, so new,.. and so exciting... 9 Quote Link to post

talt 878 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I have to thank Brian Plummer for his Rogues and Running Dogs and Tales of a Rat Hunting Man for opening up my eyes about lurchers and terriers as a young teenager and regardless of what is said about the man, for that i am eternally greatful. 6 Quote Link to post

comanche 2,941 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Phil Drabble's Pedigree Unknown still stands -up. The original edition came out in the mid sixties and though some of his thoughts might not find favour with the "Hard Lads" it's honest. And dare I say DBP 's later tales of rat hunting adventures won't seem so original after you've read it. 4 Quote Link to post
