Gave some girls ,mother's pet poodle a blowback at a house party as teenagers....thought we had f***ing killed it..if I stop and roll one up when out with the dogs..they f**k off away from me...I've found that most dogs will chew on a few leaves if left unattended

Yep my old lurcher nailed 6grams of Mary Jane and a credit card. The chip was like a cherry the next day on top of his shit

Shot one or two wolves myself, in the wild. Hunted wallabies in Goyt valley and shot them near Marlow. my old lurcher once caught a heron, but if i tell the story here, some will think I read it in a book!

 

Id heard about wallabies in that area. Visited many times camping but never saw any. Don't think there has been any sightings for years. I think they suffered badly in those two bad winters we had around 2010.

Did you course any?

Yes thats why I said I hunted  them there, but shot them near Marlow.  They were never easy to find and travelled long distances in the high peak.  I used to get upto date info from keepers in the area.

Not UK but moved up the coast NSW for 9months with around an acre house block. The whippets and terrier killed everything in the yard including blue tongue lizards, snakes, quail, rats, mice, bandicoots, a flying fox bat, doves, possums and almost a koala but I saved it in time. No rabbits up that way so no work for the dogs and shows what happens when they are bored. They did catch one rabbit in the bush up there but it was a escaped pet angora, lol. Glad to be back out west now.

When I was a kid my old man had a terrier that would collect frogs … when you cleaned out his kennel in the back under the straw you could find up to a dozen at any one time.

Just been out to lunch, had good clothes and shoes on, then my missus wanted to shop, I went for a look around some waste ground, loads of raccoon tracks around the waters edge, saw around a dozen groundhog and found some Canada goose nests, the waste ground if you had a dog you would have got something "exotic", I wonder how Ted Newgents staghound got on in Sask, anyways, got back to my missus and my shoes and trousers were covered in mud, would love a dog out here, you would certainly have some sport, but I am away quite a bit. 

Any one heard off old Ted? He not been on in a while

I have his address Dan, he is a decent bloke is Ted, if I am in Sask I will make an effort to knock on his door with some Pringles (he likes them), I wouldn't mind finding out how his dog got on also

When you say a marmot you mean the big orange looking things in mongolia/xinjiang, or the little hyrax looking ones? 

Think they were actually souslik rather than marmots but its what we called them. They were escapees from an enclosure by the Bison paddock. Odd one went through the fence to the downs where we wandered with a ferret and a few nets. An interesting area of scrub where the unusual was usual.
