Simoman 110 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Just a question, for the sake of this question imagine its aimed at folk in a country where a greater quarry list is available or pre ban in this country. Now it could be me but i think some lurchermen who take/took "big game" look down upon the humble rabbiter as some sort of effeminate closet homosexual who is playing at the game and is wasting his time on the humble bunny, opinions people?????....... Lurcherman 1: This man keeps a pair of useful tykes and during the season lamps with his dogs regularly taking good numbers of rabbits and at the weekend can be found on the local fields with his ferrets and nets working the warrens...... Lurcherman 2: This man also keeps a pair of useful tykes and spends his time during the season using his dogs for all kinds of quarry, rabbits/hares/fox/deer are all "on the menu" for this lurcherman and his dogs also work hard throughout the season...... Is one man any "better" a dogman than the other? Personally i dont think so at all, the main thing is getting out there and working your dogs, quarry types mean nothing with regards to a lurchermans skills at getting the best out of his dogs and deication to hunting...

DottyDoo 500 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 i dont think how ye use your dog to catch whatever quarry it may be, is the way to judge a dogman same as the quarry he hunts, should never be held against a man when judging him on his skills as a dogman.... a dogman should be judged on how he gets the best from his dogs an land an quarry.... an the way he carries himself throo the dog game, just my 2 penneth worth haha 1 Quote Link to post
hairyface 211 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 yeah, i agree, it doesnt bother me what the next man does, i certainly dont look down on the lads thats just specifically out for rabbits, but i agree there is a certain percentage of lads that do look down on the rabbiteer Quote Link to post
fcuktheban 140 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 spot on dotty, we all should take into account the quarry we have around us and not spoil the game for everyone by killing it all off. Respect for the land, and more so for our workers. Quote Link to post
hedz31 1,308 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 we aint got no rabbits here so its just jealousy when i call them homos lol Quote Link to post
boyo 1,398 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 my opinion is their both the same in that their out there doing what they want to do with their dogs as long as them and their dogs are enjoying doing what their doing the quarry doesnt really make any differance .good luck to all dogmen and women i say and stuff the ban which at best is a joke and worst immoral and built on class hatred.and nothing to do with cruelty to animals Quote Link to post

Born Hunter 17,841 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 These big dick big game hunters that look down on lads that predominantly ferret/lamp rabbits only do so because they think any dog can make the grade as a rabbiting dog. A proper rabbiting dog is one hell of an animal to watch work as is any other dog that is a master of its speacialty. 1 Quote Link to post
artic 595 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Sensible question studly, I'm not a ferreting person, however I still enjoy seeing a good dog work the nets and lamp catching rabbits. My hat goes off to the rightful owners of these dogs that work with ferrets/nets/lamp to catch the humble rabbit. There's good and bad dogmen like theres are good and bad dogs. Will you be able to catch more quarry if you have a good dog coupled with a bad owner? Quote Link to post
johnny boy68 11,726 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 A lot of boys think rabbiting dogs are inferior to there dogs that do "teeth" and then in turn some can look down on said dogman for just doing bunnies. Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 dogs can only catch whots put infront of them so they will both be the same. Quote Link to post
