I hope you filled the van with it would be rude not to.. Quote Link to post

I was going to ask for an autograph, believing your tales of yore, but you've burst my bubble now. I don,t really care if I'm honest mucker,if I had attempted to state my case a little better I would have said that the most dedicated lurcher owners had an attitude that put them at odds with fellow owners.What I and many others strived to achieve with labour and sweat,many others attempted to achieve with the purchase of a ready made runner,when a few bred to become a tad better the majority bred to earn a crust.Again I'm not that bothered now but at times I find certain posts worth replying to,happy hunting.

Kalibrgun 931 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Dales rabbits are far easier than those on arable land fact I've ran all over the country on different perms and up the dales an easy steady night is 40/50+. 100+ if you wanna stay out a while.

OldPhil 5,763 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) With rabbiting,..you can only catch what is there to catch... Its a big old country when you start travelling around, and it takes a versatile jukel to consistently , 'attend to business', on unfamiliar ground.. I stay close to home now, and just ferret the long hedgerow warrens, in the Southern counties. A whippet sized cur does just right, especially when getting down and dirty, in the ditch bottoms... Hardly the stuff of legend, but perfectly adequate for the task in hand... Edited November 17, 2020 by OldPhil 8 Quote Link to post
