the_stig 6,614 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 ear to the ground and a probe was the only way to do it .. you did`nt have to be a big name terrier man to find this way .. next time your out try it before the locator see how near you are ... Quote Link to post

A few words that speaks volumes about the way it used to be. The locator has completly changed terrier work, and for the better too. Quote Link to post

Guest markbrick1 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 there is a few ways of finding terriers without locators but non as productive as the modern day system,t bar,marking dog, ear to the ground etc,but many moons ago we tried them all and non worked,i went to get my hero an old keeper who taught me most things i knew and still do today,i explained the situation to him he went to his shed got a long hose pipe,and followed me into the woods,taking out his knife he wickled a peace of wood into a peg put it in to the hose and thread it down the entrance to the earth being on a steep bank we couldnt here much but all i will say after trying several differant tunels pullin the hose out checking it for dog hair we found the dog,now this was back in the late 60s when we didnt have locators we gog the dog and thats all that counts,mark Quote Link to post
