BLACKWATER... 157 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Got to agree. Not much gets away on the dales. With average dogs. Where I go if your dog won't run the lengh of the beam you won't catch much.. Quote Link to post

I am from essex and their bloody hard. there is no dout about it, some places are alot easier than others. I suppose if you want big bags, you have got to (travel). But what will happen sooner or latter, the good places will get lamped to death. And then we are all in the same boat. Quote Link to post

TOMO 26,687 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 yes theres few places harder to catch rabbits than flat arable land with thin hedges, got plenty of that round here in the midlands . getting 20 -30 can be very hard Quote Link to post

I am from essex and their bloody hard. Just because they where easy to catch in one place does not mean there are easy to catch elswhere, i have been on the dales several times and some of the land on that vast area is really hard work for the most experienced of dogs, so in reality i think you need to make a lot more trips on the dales before you can judge that place accurately and honestly.

Well said! And you must have landed lucky or his permission has had the luck. As there are very few rabbits in the dales these days....c mixi, bad winter, they are just in pockets, scattered around..... Quote Link to post
