hunting(all the different methods)

[watchman 256]

that there is such a big divide between us all?,most of us lurcher lads will argue at the drop of a hat about anything,give your opinion as asked about someone's particular dog and all hell breaks loose,we all know our own dogs are better than anyone else's lol, but take fox shooting for example,the lurcher lads will regularly knock this method of control,some of the shooters,and i have seen this personally frown upon us dog lads in many cases because of our idea of fox control,

reading a thread ref hare and deer,someone said about not entertaining the idea of running a dog on a deer and has no time for those that partake in this cruel activity,yet will hunt rabbit with dog,just another example.

people knock the terrier lads,even to the point of them scruffing the terrier and fox for the photo opportunity,none of the hunting activities,methods are safe from scrutiny are they,but one thing that instantly springs to mind is the respect and seemingly endless amount of help and information that comes through on the air-rifle section,perhaps some of us need to take a leaf out of their book eh

i love everything hunting related,and if time were on my side would prob do it all,but as this is impossible i do what i can and favour the most,but i don't knock others in their preference,just a thought that's all

There are good and bad people in all sports and shooting/hunting will be the same. In my opinion hunting foxes with dogs should be allowed but not hunting deer as too many inexperienced people have ago and cause massive suffering to them whereas a rabbit can be dispatched very quickly by a dog not so with a deer and dogs not suitable for that task. A lot of what is said on these forums should be taken with a pinch of salt though as some people just like the craic and a bit of banter .......it gets the number of their posts up

i would not entertain needless cruelty,,its just that it seems to be more and more apparent when reading through the different topics that's all,i know the dog lads will argue,and yes most of it is tongue in cheek,yes a bit of banter keeps us all entertained during these hot summer days,of which i cant stand, to f*****g hot for me,but had a mate round last night and he was just browsing through like you do,and this was the first point he made

: Well,..there is nothing new in dog lads, having an argument,...it is part and parcel, of the hunting scene,..always has been,.and always will....

 

But,.amongst that vast diversity of preference, and personal choice, there is a definite LOYALTY,.and most genuine guys will step in, and defend the right of their fellow hunters, to do what they want...

 

That being said,..whilst I understand fully that ,.in our game,.some poor critter is going to get killed,.(and that is inevitable),...I ABHOAR needless cruelty,.and although my own conscience, is far from clear,...I would always speak out against it..

 

"Each to their own".....

To be fair it gets a lot worse in the summer - we are all bored as f*ck. It also doesn't help (and i'm sorry if i offend) that a lot of folk into hunting these days are none too bright, and are into it all for questionable reasons. . mainly 'the kill'. . but like chalky said - each to their own (as long as they stay away from me )

My sentiments entirely, that's why I like my falconry, the kill is just a small, but necessary part of the whole experience.

i know what your saying,just for the kill may be questionable to most,i would hope anyway,nothing better than watching the dog,your own dog ,on a run,sometimes the end result ie a miss can still be very rewarding if the dog has given its all,but yes being bored does have a roll to play on here at the best of times

there are some people calling stuff they do "hunting"

I doubt the men of Kalihari would agree with them.

 

 

Hunting is about RESPECT. Once you loose respect for your quarry then it is not hunting.... in my opinion.
