definitely no hindrance it keeps me sane no better feeling than watching your own hounds working hard across open ground then marking to ground makes all them early mornings and late nights worth it

That’s what keeps us all going watching the dogs work that’s why we do it

the ban has never meant much to me. I only really keep little rabbit dogs. I used to lamp and had dogs that could take a few hares lamping. they weren't hare dogs by any means. never had time for organised meets either. now dogs that can find there hare in the daytime, put it up and catch it on its own ground that is a thing of beauty and a true sport.

Not as obsessed as i was  but still enjoy getting out with the dogs get a buzz watching them pick up a scent and working it out. Of all the interests i have had that have come and gone running dogs are the only one that have been constant throughout my life

I love the mouching game,...alongside my Wife,..it is my life...

[stormyboy 1,352]

I found the desire for the kill has diminished, my dogs were primarily lamp dogs and working with the terriers. All about catching as much as possible. I enjoy mooching more these days, watching the whippet hunt up and find. The kill is secondary.

Said to someone other day if ya can jack it you never had the bug in first place.  If your one of those that walks a field thinking of better places to be then the game aint for you.

Well in that case.

Turn the dimmer down and give it a quick scan.
