Theres a big difference in what your doing and in what the summer hunters are doing Rabid. The points been made is that after a hard breeding season for them foxes lads are still hammering them.this time of year normally most land is a no go because of young animals.but with the bad weather lads are still out shooting digging or with lurchers
Rifle lads are doing it here in places but as much as I dislike them there not only ones to blame.lads are still lamping and knocking foxes with lurchers.some are still knocking about with small private packs of hounds.a lot of farms we hunt still have animals in sheds.fields are still wet.I could run our few hounds today without worrying about lambs or calfs been out.its unreal.were a few weeks off May for f**k sake
Anybody else think numbers might be down come september??? Any cubs born early would of had it really tough with the snow here. where we are especially.add to that its been raining since the snow stopped and a lot of earths are flooded.havent seen many young rabbits either while walking the lurcher pup in the evenings.I no foxes will find food anywhere but surely this spring has been very harsh
Theres no winners on either side.whether your catholic or prodestant everybody was/is affected.everybody has an opinion on what happened. Ya could argue all night on here.whats the point?remember the anniversarys in your own way and move forward.
Your trying to compare a beagle that you were giving up on.that is not amazing "your words" to a terrier that works below ground in the dark against something that bites back, while yours chases most rabbits it sees. Ok.
If your on about my sly remark look at it again!!! At the end of what I wrote I put LOL. Daniel has nothing to prove on here to me or anybody else. Seems a decent fella that actually works his dogs. My comment was made as a joke. Anybody that works terriers no they can and will have an off day.specialy old dogs. Goodman
My old lurcher had a similar injury.same leg.minded him like a baby when the cast came off.he missed a full season over it but the rest paid off as he ran again without much hassle.obviously as a lad said above I did pick his ground to run over as the thought of him breaking it again was always there. Dont jump the gun and bring him out to soon. Best of luck
