Keeping ok mate tbh, not too much to complain about but I still do. Got a 14 MTH old pup on and he's still very puppyish, pretty much retired my other 2 lurchers and the terrier so it's a bit of a lottery when I go out now but still enjoying it, mostly Cheers, D. Good to hear D..on a side note I'm the world's worst whinging ar##hole ..even my niece's call me Uncle Grumps ..I still have old Don here,Fenn too,Boots about finished & Bear who's had the broken neck so I spend most my time tending to them geriatrics so find time to be out hunting far less than I once did but I'm content being a 'part timer' if I'm honest these day's.. honestly I don't care whether I'm successful on a hunt nowadays or not,I just enjoy being out & seeing a few bits & bobs wherever that may be in the country 2 1 Quote Link to post

Travel a anything 20mins to 4 hours plus one way many times for a night's lamping. If we stayed local we wouldn't catch much at all Quote Link to post

Where have I wrote that? And my dog jacked? You really do type some utter pish. Have you ever actually had a lurcher? You post for the sake of getting attention, any way you can, everyone can see it except you. Cheers, D. 3 1 Quote Link to post

Don't you worry about me and what I've owned fella, worry about what made you question why you didn't see anything on Bonfire Night. Have a good day sir. Quote Link to post
