SINDASOX 256 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Been wondering for the last few weeks that i haven't had the mag for a good while now, got in this morning and could see it on the bottom of the stairs. Opened it up and thought this is a much thicker issue than normal then discovered it's the last ever issue. Dave Harcombe has called it a day. SINDASOX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 24,855 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Times have changed, for very much the worse, I'm afraid. Hunters were once highly regarded; suppliers of food, destroyers of vermin. I'm old enough to remember walking home with a dog and a few rabbits or a hare, and people would ask to buy one from you; now they are more likely to 'phone the police ! Magazines like EDRD have to tread a very fine line, even if terrier work is still legal, most of the public, if asked, will say its banned. Publications such as EDRD have, sadly, become an anachronism, a thing of the past to all but a few. How do you fill a magazine and stay within the law and public opinion ? It's impossible, without turning into something like CMW. End of an era, I'm afraid.....good luck to Dave for the future. Cheers. 18 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly i stopped my subscription about 10 years ago. I got sick to death of the BMP and halal slaughter, it wasn't what i wanted to read in a dog mag. I don't know if it stayed the same, as it may have suited many, or Dave moved on from that but i've always had a touch of guilt about not supporting the mag. I wish Dave all the very best...

Greyman 29,259 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I still have an original copy of badger digging by Dave and yes things have changed a lot, he was a bit of a breath of fresh air after years of plumbers writing when he came along all those years ago 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 16,350 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I did something similar bosun but for me it was that the quality of the lurcher articles were disappointing. shame that this news has had such a little response where ten years ago this would have been a ten pager maybe a sign of the magazines quality lately shame 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
