hunting books

[mackem 27,694]

I might be in a minority,I actually liked Frank Sheardowns book "The Lurcher,training and hunting"

[Guest oldskool]

was it him that recommends firing a catapult at your dog when its not doing what its told???

 

 

lurcher and longdogs by ted walsh is bloody brilliant and i'd definatley recommend the new complete lurcher by b. plummer its a good big heavy book well worth the money... i think plummers one is around £25 but i dont know what ted walshs book is fetching?? its a bit harder to come by

If hes a young lad he will relate to Running dog addiction and see lads in it like himself doing real things with todays kind of dog. I thought it very Gallant of Mr Darcy to recommend Ted Walshes book and I wouldnt knock it myself.Infact Ive always had a copy but it will be harder for a young lad to relate to because Ted Walsh was from a diffrent world.This is today and the kids of today are the future and that has got to be "Running dog addiction". Unless you want to teach him how to bullshit avoid plummer altogether. He can read them when hes older for a laugh.

best book ive read is

 

gazehounds and coursing by Dutch salmon

 

ive never found a book as good as that

 

Bill Dohertys one is good, the name escapes me and J darcy's is good too(RDAddiction i have)

 

Leon ALmiral canines and coyotes is a good read

 

Australian Working dog stories is good too, but not much in there about running dogs... more cattle dogs and kelpies but by god there are some funny stories in it!
