Been out hunting with some good lads off this site. Genuine lads. Most are a good few hours drive away so it’s hard to get out as often as I’d like. Over the years we’ve helped each other out with bits of kit and advice. Life always seems to be busy so you just got to do the best you can.

With regards to hunting partners. I have one lad who moved locally last year and we go out a lot, and two lads who live 5-6 hours away who come to mine regular sometimes just for the night and sometimes for a week to ten days at a time. The one drive 6 hours with a leg in plaster for an afternoons bushing and a night in the pub and then drove 6 hours home in the morning. Mad.

Plenty of spaniels catch more than terriers, in cover etc.

Obviously, depending where you live, and what ground is available to you.

Yep, in and out of water.

 

In fact, my next dog will probably be a spaniel.

Problem?!

My 'problem' question was said in a jocular fashion, blacky, not an obtuse one
