Would like to get to know the lads round here that work the land. Rabbitin, foxin and anything else really Just pm me. Cheers Rob Hi i just thought i should really put a little more info about myself. Well im 23 i have been Rabbiting Foxing (lamping) And shoots When i was younger. I really want to get back into this but as none of my family members are into any thing like this and i have not long lived in Leicester im finding it rather hard finding somebody to go out with and get back into it.

Guest Countryboyo Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi lad im just writing to you because I put up a similar post to this a while back asking would someone let me tag along. The reason I wanted to do this was because im In to bushing with my JRT and staffy and I wanted to try out my JRT to ground. I also wanted to head out with lads with lurchers as I want to get one in the summer. Im the same age as yourself and similar story know no terrier or lurcher men in my area, plenty of shooting lads but no interest. Anyway I found that you get little posetive responce to adds like this. everyone seems to say just go by yourself, and I think you have to prove yourself with photos of your work before people will trust you and have any interest in heading out with you. Thats the impression I got anyway. My problem is that I dont want to risk my terrier in a dig as I have no experience but what can you do. Its like when you start a new job and your boss expects you to know it all on your very first day and isnt willing to give you any training. But in fairness to people who dont know us they have to be some bit wairy, For all they know you could be doing a Donal Macintyre underground doccumentary on Illegal hunting with dogs and have a hidden camera installed in your terriers nose. . In conclusion It looks like we have to learn it as we go along and hope that you bump into a few sound lads along the way. Anyway best of look with it and hope there are a few sound lads willing to head out with you to enjoy our great sporting tradition. CB Quote Link to post

terrier.2 123 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 have you any dogs at the moment Quote Link to post
iguanaman2442 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 have you any dogs at the moment I dont have any dogs yet mate as i want to learn the ropes again first as i really dont wanna be going out on my own trying to learn myself. Would like to get more experience first then get dogs. Not looking to good to be honest mate dont seem like anybody is willing to let me join them. I still live at home with parents we have a great dane so a little terrier prob wouldnt go down to well. Why would you let me come out with you on a hunt. Cheers Rob Quote Link to post
FLATTOP 4,323 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Best advice i can give is follow local hunt show a genuine interest in the terriermans dogs, keep going regular and you might be lucky and get to help out on a dig i have no interest in horses just terriers and hounds you will meet many like minded people and it will lead to many a good day out once you have earned their trust ,all the best and good luck.
