Texas tom 10 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 thanks for the reply fight the ban but if the keepers dont want you on there they dont want you on there you have to respect their decision it is there ground at the endd of the day and chinning them would not do anybody any favours its a small world when it comes to fieldsports and word would soon get around, im just glad to be able to get some sport full stop be it rabbiting with the lurchers or working the terriers on rats or fox. if you have that much sport that you are able to stop at the first sign of cubs you can give me a day out if you like ill come up mid season so that our morals dont clash lol im not scared of a good walk and a bit of graft Quote Link to post

Coyotehunter 689 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I very rarely dig foxes any more, just because there isn't enough of them around here , but Racoons i'll dig whenever and wherever, and most people are quite happy for you to, because there such a bloody nuisance, so your Poll only really serves you lads back in the UK and Ireland, Quote Link to post
tearem 31 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 In Holland and Germany where I dig, the season stops 1- st of march and we take all untill then. Last weekend we had a very full vixen. No cubs yet. 1 -st of August the badger is open again in Germany but so are the maize pigs...then we will do both as they come. Quote Link to post

perthshire keeper 1,239 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 fight the ban its ok trying to be all sporting and claiming that the minute you find your first cubs you pack up for the season unless you have a call out, but how about the lads who cant start until the shooting has finished as there are many keepers who wont have anyone doing anything until the birds have finished you may be lucky enough to be able to work your terriers from august to end of january and fair play but dont start trying to gauge the terriermen on here because they are still digging in lets say late april, surely the best way to judge a terrierman is how he looks after his dogs respects his quarry backfills correctly and doesnt kill for the sake of killing, not how his sporting calender compares to yours. most people just get out when they can in this day and age mate and who can blame them its getting harder and harder to get work for your dogs as theres loads at it the bull cross lurcher is getting more and more popular imagine how many lads there are going out for a mooch with two or three efficient bull crosses week in week out all season where ever they like it soon has a knock on effect on the amount of huntable quarry on your permission, im not knocking them its just the way it is these days. if its your permission and theres work for the dogs get them out if its in your best interests yep i dont stop digging and have voted that too i HAVE to get every fox by every means i can. on ground a home on the hill farms it was the same 3 2 day old cubs are the same as 3 2 year old foxes to me and i do exspect a load of stick for that too. but befor you all jump on me i have a job to do and i do it well i dont need the hassle and possibly job loss house loss of a fox getting in my pens. if i do know of a den with cubs in it i will sit out and try and shoot the vixen first or dog as long as i get one of the parents first ime happy to move on to the cubs. cubs are a what the parents are their for so why kill cubs then try and find the adults? as for back filling we have few earths on our place, 11 tho be right and the deeeper ones have wooden boards over the dig so we dont have to dig it again just treat it like a false earth. we have to backfill carefully as we cant lose a earth then risk a litter of cubs where we cant find them Quote Link to post
