I used to mince them, but now find it better too feed them whole, well gutted toped tailed and skined, but still whole.

In early 80s the isle of man was havin an epidemic of rabbits so much the goverment put a bounty on rabbits 25pence a tail, work was tight so lads i know where findin lampin the only way of makin money, 1 bitch had 108 in a night, this is not me braggin it had nothin to do with me just statin facts, though it proves it can and has been done where there is the numbers, plus rabbits that are green to the lamp are a lot different quarry to an educated rabbit so cant see how you can work out how long it takes to catch a certain number when you dont know if the rabbits where educated or not.

 

I remember that bounty on the IOM Lanesra and know of one local bloke who moved over there for that reason.

IF you think you have the right dog and IF you know the right speck and IF you know when it's time to stop (and thats not when the dogs dead!) then why not..... Get out and have a go!!

This numbers game really sticks in peoples throat from what I've read on here but Bosun11 summed it up perfectly people asking why would you want to do these numbers? Why do the coursing lads rate 5out of 5 dogs so highly? Because it puts the dog beyond an also ran and proves it can be done

ye nowt wrong with taken large number done it will do it tomorow ,but the outlets get harder , fech when i go for salmo lobsters you want the creels full ,nets full ,and if youre coursing down by the fens ,for me its a 4 hour journey for my mate who traveld it its a 3 and half hour journey and he done it for 14 years ,so ye you want to run your dog out as to catch as much possible but no fun if the rabbs were that easy at times ,i dont think the numbers game sticks in peoples throat but recently saw loads of game wasted by some now that sticks in your throat im glad ive had lots of big nites days and gained out of it ,but reveling on it , it doesnt make me feel any better just apart of life , i wouldnt go on about catching a hundred rabbs like whall , it just means your lucky to be on good land with fit and good dogs at rabbits, i tell you what i get a buzz rabbit wise two good dogs, ferrets in ,bolting willy nilly dogs nabbing them, to me thtas sport for kings ,as a dog has to be more switched on and knowedgble to predict were the rabbit goes, great fun and great sport ferret and dog combination could never get fed up with thta type of hunting , all the best ,i think some havent caut big numbers or been to places like the borders of scotland to see big numbers to realise you can catch loads in a small time best sport ive had is bolting rabbs to dogs on good land

[Leeview 791]

So have you with one dog ever taken 100 rabbits not lobsters, salmon or feck all else just rabbits? Yes or No

The thing about the numbers game is when you reach that magic number of 5 out of 5 or a 100 bunnies what then? someone states they got 6 out of 6 or 101 and it all starts again. What I have noticed is the vast majority who bang on about the ton havn't actually done it.....it's always I know a guy or heard of a guy who did it.....and they say fishermen tell tall tales :D

[whin 463]

leeview ill get some pics up like some of them do with large amounts you can count them ahah 68 47 is my bet two nites ,and if i had willing helpers with dogs in between 100 plus easy with two dogs, never one ive ran dogs out and over ran them ,before never do it again hopefully , whats your record for game and no lies , i get bored now after 20 odds unles there a laugh and a crack , ive got pups who can catch a rabit at seven months, rabbits have never done it for me 15 or more years but i still like a day bolting them great fun i lke hard rabbits were the dog has to try abit , not like lauder in the eighties early ninties i think you missing the piont here mate rabbs was neve rto me about numbers just pestcontrol , and ,if you live in the places were there plenty it doesnt get you exuited as much ,i get more fun seeing other people enjoythere time out etc

What then?? Well to me it's some yardstick to measure a dog by, the match boys have bred best to best for years and what animals those fen dogs are. By using dogs that have been measured by deeds, surely we are raising the bar on working lurchers??

Its a nonscence arguement mate....so are you saying if your coursing dog cant do 5 out of 5 or your rabbit dog cant hit a ton theyre inferior in some way. Forget about numbers just enjoy it for what it is.

Not in the slightest mate, if so, my dogs would be very inferior! But most of the dog breeds on this earth that have a 'real desire' for their chosen work (whatever it may be) were forged, in the main by best to best, or dogs that will, so to speak. I see no reason why we can't look at our lurchers this way, surely with yourself and most owners, you have chosen to accuire (buy) a dog through the work its parents have done....?

 

And just for the record, i've always just enjoyed it for what it is
