"Earth!" 503 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 only the once have i found signs of lamb in an earth.its all game birds where i am and plenty of them and plenty of calls/request non stop to protect them. Quote Link to post
CarraghsGem 92 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 we havent had any lambs taken here but then we shut them in at night for the first few weeks, if we had them out lambing it might be a different story esp near bog or out on the hills, foxy is only interested in my hens, lol and ive electric netting around them, Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 We've had 4 calls so far and accounted for them with the rifle but no doubt there will be more .Last year was bad with us made to look silly on new permission until we dropped on a tiny place just outside the farmers garden!We had one also last year where i retrieved a few dead lambs out the mouth of the hole before digging.

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 The farmer had lost 12 up til then and i pulled seven from the earth ,most unrecognisable due to the efforts of the cubs and sand .Unavoidable this time of year . 1 Quote Link to post

gatwick 6 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Had a call out last weekend , more of a preventative measure as only a few lambs have arrived as of yet had a couple of digs job done , also a few game birds to protect on these places Quote Link to post

hedz31 1,308 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 no sheep farms around my local area surrounded by shoots though and game bird farms had lots of calls over the years for problem foxes breaking into pens this is the side the antis dont see when it affects peoples living.
